Week 15 Fantasy Football Running Back Insights: Key Players and Projections

An analysis of the running back position for Fantasy Football as the playoffs begin in Week 15, detailing player rankings and projections.

As the Fantasy playoffs commence, tension mounts around running back rankings. The comeback of Omarion Hampton and Bucky Irving could reshape the landscape of RB1, but committee roles may obfuscate the picture for RB2s, leading to numerous debates regarding their placements in initial Week 15 rankings.

Bucky Irving’s performance in Week 13 showed promise with a 60% rush share; however, subsequent games have raised concerns due to a sharp decline in snap percentages. On the contrary, Omarion Hampton seemed promising on his return, despite a shaky performance in pass protection. Despite the volatility, they now sit in the low-end RB2 range as per initial projections.
