Here are the week 15 fantasy running back power rankings. Week 15 will be a difficult one to find a good QB with a favorable match up, but it will be equally difficult deciding which RB to use this week. It seems many of this seasons most productive runners will also enjoy the luxury of favorable match ups in week 15.
Keep in mind that the power rankings, listed here, are based on year to date performance and not a reflection of your best options for week 15. Just below the power rankings are match up previews advising who should be better or worse than usual this week, based on their opponents. At the bottom, are the week 15 start rankings, that’s where you should look for help with your week 15 lineup decisions.
