Week 15 Fantasy PPR Rankings: RB

Week 15 Fantasy PPR Rankings: RB image

This is a big week for injuries at running back. It's possible that Melvin Gordon, James Conner, Kerryon Johnson, Matt Breida, LeSean McCoy, and Isaiah Crowell could be back, and it's also possible that none could play. Those six lead backs are having a major impact on fantasy rankings everywhere, and that is certainly true of our Week 15 PPR RB rankings. If any or all of these players miss time, a committee approach will be used to replace them. And we all know that means there will usually be an early-downs guy...and a pass catcher. But which one do you start in PPR? The answer isn't always simple.

While many would assume that guys like Jaylen Samuels, Theo Riddick, and Jeff Wilson Jr. would immediately work into RB2 territory for PPR, it doesn't always work out that way. For example, Riddick is splitting touches with LeGarrette Blount and Zach Zenner, so he may not get enough carries to outproduce them. And if they get the goal-line work over Riddick, then they may might outproduce him because TDs are so valuable. Hopefully, all of the three-down backs will play, and that will simplify things a bit for us. Still, that seems unlikely.

Week 15 Standard Rankings:
Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | D/ST | Kicker

One of the notable backs that moves down in the PPR format is Gus Edwards. The new Ravens starter has just one catch this season and hasn't been targeted since becoming the starter at RB. He will still have a high volume of touches, but his value will be entirely predicated on TDs and yardage. It doesn't look like he will get an opportunity to catch many passes, especially with Ty Montgomery and Kenneth Dixon in the fold.

Reminder: Check back for updates throughout the week. And for analysis of key players, check out our standard RB rankings for Week 15.
