Week 15 Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs /

Welcome to Week 15 of the fantasy football season!

This is also the first week of the fantasy postseason, so we’re on our way to the ultimate goal … winning a title! As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the Week 15 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Among the running backs, Kyren Williams makes a big move up based on his recent success and a matchup against Washington. Rachaad White has also moved up at the position, and Derrick Henry is in the top 12 with a plus matchup against the team he has owned, the Texans. James Conner moves down into the RB2/flex area, even after his big game in Pittsburgh, based on a tough matchup against the Niners.

Be sure to check back for updates … and good luck this week!
