Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings for Week 15: TreVeyon Henderson, RJ Harvey, Rico Dowdle and More
Morgan gives his week 15 fantasy football rankings for running backs.
Let's now put together top-30 fantasy football PPR rankings for the running back position for week 15.
We already went over tight ends and will cover quarterbacks and wide receivers in separate stories, so check back for those!
Check out week 15 fantasy football projections for running backs on FantasySP as well.
CMC gets the No. 1 spot this week, and it honestly wasn't that close.
McCaffrey has a slightly above-average test against the Titans that he should shine in.
Achane would have been an option for the top spot, but an injury concern has me worried a bit.
A tougher test against the Steelers is also why he didn't get the No. 1 spot, but if he plays, I see him delivering a big fantasy score.
If Achane is eventually ruled out, I'd take Jaylen Wright, but rank him in the teens in these rankings.
Robinson gets the No. 3 spot this week, despite coming off a down showing - although he still had over 90 total yards.
Tampa Bay is a pretty favorable test on paper, and he produced 124 total yards and a score in the first matchup between the teams.
4. Jahmyr Gibbs
Gibbs has been a fantasy stud of late, but he falls to No. 4 this week.
A very tough matchup against the Rams is why I'm a bit down on Gibbs. He still should deliver a big fantasy score, so fire him up with confidence.
Henry has turned things on in the second half of the season so far, and I see him continuing his good play in week 15.
Cincinnati is the best possible fantasy matchup a back could have. Henry produced 104 total yards and a score in the first meeting between the teams.
6. Bucky Irving
Irving has been good in his first two games back for the Bucs.
A Thursday night test against the Falcons is slightly above-average. Irving had just 45 total yards in the first meeting against Atlanta, but scored to salvage his fantasy day. I see Irving faring much better this time around.
Barkley finally got rolling in week 14, and with the Eagles' passing game struggles, I see the running back getting more involved in the final weeks of the regular season.
Las Vegas is a pretty favorable matchup, so I see Barkley comfortably finishing inside the top 10 this week.
Taylor had a fine fantasy showing in week 14, but with Daniel Jones out for the season, things are going to be tough on him from here on out.
He falls to No. 8 this week because of a tough test against the Seahawks. Taylor might not even finish as high as I have him ranked here.
9. Josh Jacobs
Jacobs continues to be a good fantasy asset as the Packers' top back.
A brutal test against the Broncos awaits, so he falls to No. 9 in my rankings. With touchdown upside, I still have no issues starting Jacobs in week 15.
10. Chase Brown
Brown scored twice in week 14 to save an otherwise bad fantasy day.
Baltimore is an above-average matchup on paper. He had over 100 total yards against the Ravens just two weeks ago.
11. James Cook
Cook had a good fantasy showing in week 14 for not scoring a touchdown.
New England is a tough test for him, so he falls outside my top 10 for week 15. Cook had 49 total yards on 15 touches in the first matchup against the Patriots.
12. Travis Etienne
Etienne scored twice to turn a solid fantasy day into an elite one in week 14.
The Jets are an elite matchup on paper, so I might have ranked Etienne too low here. He's a must-start player this week.
13. Ashton Jeanty
Jeanty was bottled up across his 12 touches in week 14.
A pretty favorable test against the Eagles is a chance for the rookie back to get on track again. We'll see if he can.
14. Javonte Williams
Williams was pretty good against a tough Detroit defense in week 14, but a touchdown really helped his cause.
A tougher test against the Vikings awaits Williams, but I think he will be average or better as a fantasy asset.
Henderson was solid his last time out despite not scoring a touchdown. The 14 touches are what you like to see.
Buffalo is a great fantasy matchup for the rookie, who has seen his role grow exponentially since the last time the teams met.
16. Quinshon Judkins
Judkins saved a poor fantasy showing with a 58-yard catch in week 14.
The Bears are a pretty average matchup for him, so an average spot in the rankings makes sense.
17. Kyren Williams
Williams continues to deliver good fantasy marks, but splitting the backfield with Blake Corum is capping his fantasy ceiling, so I'm ranking him down at No. 17 this week.
The Lions are the toughest fantasy matchup a back could have, so that doesn't help Williams, and it means Corum doesn't get a top-30 spot either.
18. Woody Marks
Marks had 28 touches and delivered a nice fantasy showing as a result in week 14. He could take on more with Nick Chubb dinged up now.
Arizona is a great fantasy matchup for him, so add and start him with confidence in week 15.
19. RJ Harvey
Harvey had a very nice fantasy showing in week 14, so we'll see if he can keep trending up.
Green Bay is a tougher matchup on paper, but has been worse of late. Harvey's grasp of the backfield should help him deliver a good fantasy score on volume touches alone.
20. Aaron Jones Sr.
Jones was solid in week 14 without the help of a touchdown.
A great matchup means Jones gets the No. 20 spot, and could deliver one of his better fantasy showings of the season.
21. Tyrone Tracy or Devin Singletary
Tracy is dealing with a hip injury, but had off in week 14, so hopefully he plays in week 15. Singletary would take this spot if Tracy is eventually ruled out.
A very favorable test against the Commanders is why I'm higher on the Giants' lead back for week 15.
22. Rico Dowdle
Dowdle's grasp of the Carolina backfield is fading a bit, so he falls to No. 22 in the rankings.
New Orleans is a pretty average matchup, so he and Chuba Hubbard could both have solid fantasy showings. I still like Dowdle more, so he gets a spot in my top 30.
23. Breece Hall
Hall was really bottled up in week 14, so he's looking for a bounceback outing.
A very tough matchup against the Jaguars makes it even tougher to start Hall. He might get benched in a lot of leagues this week, and I'm not against that line of thinking.
24. Omarion Hampton
Hampton returned to the field in week 14 and showed some good things and had a good fantasy outing.
A tougher test against the Chiefs is why he ranks down at No. 24. If he finds the end zone, he could finish way above this.
25. Jaylen Warren
Warren did most of his fantasy scoring as a pass catcher in week 14.
A slightly below-average matchup against the Dolphins is why he falls to No. 25. Him splitting backfield touches with Kenneth Gainwell isn't helping Warren's cause either.
26. Kenneth Walker
Walker didn't do much of anything for the Seahawks in week 14.
Another below-average matchup is what he has, so that's why he nearly falls out of my top 30. Zach Charbonnet's presence still is hurting Walker a ton.
27. Chris Rodriguez
Rodriguez had 52 yards on just 10 touches in week 14, but Washington was blown out, so his fantasy day was limited.
The Giants are a super favorable test on paper, but I just don't trust the Washington offense enough to rank Rodriguez any higher.
28. D'Andre Swift
Swift is splitting the backfield with Kyle Monangai, but I still prefer the veteran.
Swift gets a top-30 spot despite a tougher matchup against the Browns. Monangai doesn't make my list this week.
29. Jordan Mason
Mason was solid in a Minnesota blowout last week, and I am willing to give him a top-30 spot for week 15.
That great matchup against the Cowboys is a big reason why, so we'll see if Mason can prove me right.
30. Devin Neal
Neal had a nice fantasy showing in week 14, and he could lead the way again if Alvin Kamara misses another game.
A pretty favorable matchup against the Panthers awaits, but I cannot rank Neal any higher not knowing Kamara's status. He'd jump into the early 20s if Kamara is out, while falling out of the top 30 if Kamara ends up playing.
