Fantasy Football Start 'Em: Week 15 RBs

Brian Robinson Jr., Washington Commanders (at New Orleans Saints) - After a bye, Robinson Jr. is back in action. In his last game against the Titans, he had 109 total yards and a touchdown, ranking in the top 12. This week, he faces a Saints defense that has allowed 135 total yards per game and four touchdowns in their last four games. With Austin Ekeler out due to a concussion, Robinson Jr. has a great opportunity to excel.

Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers (at Philadelphia Eagles) - Harris couldn't maintain his RB3 performance from Week 13 in Week 14. He had 53 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries at home. This week, he travels to face one of the toughest defenses in the league. Philadelphia has limited opposing running back groups to 103 total yards per game and two touchdowns over the last three games. Harris may be a must-start, but don't expect a great game against the No. 2 scoring defense.

Fantasy Football Sit 'Em: Week 15 RBs

Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (at Los Angeles Chargers) - Irving's run as a top-10 fantasy running back ended in Week 14 due to a back injury. He had only 18 yards on five touches before leaving the game. If he plays in Week 15, he may struggle against one of the better run defenses. Teams have had difficulty running on the Chargers, and an injured Irving is not on the same level as Derrick Henry or Bijan Robinson.

De'Von Achane, Miami Dolphins (at Houston Texans) - The Dolphins' running game is one of the worst in the NFL. Achane has been a viable starter due to his work in the passing game, but this week they face a Texans team that has a strong pass defense. Houston has limited opposing running back groups to 100 total yards per game and one touchdown in their last three contests. Achane may be a must-start, but he could struggle on the road.
