Welcome to the NFL DFS Week 15 RB Coach article! Week 14 was a bit of a mixed bag for me. 

David Montgomery, Kyren Williams, Chase Brown, Isaac Guerendo and Saquon Barkley performed well but on the other hand, James Cook’s production was muted because Josh Allen was a one-man wrecking machine last week. 

I was also surprised that Alvin Kamara didn’t take advantage of his good matchup against the New York Giants.

 

 

 

NFL DFS Week 15 RB Coach For FanDuel & DraftKings Fantasy

As we look ahead to Week 15 Kamara has another good matchup, this time against the Washington Commanders, but there are plenty of other NFL DFS RBs who can help you win some cash in Week 15 as well!

There are some NFL backfields that are in flux due to potential injuries as we head into Week 15, but once the smoke clears and we find out who is active and inactive, you may be able to find some good last minute NFL DFS RBs bargains that you can slip into your DFS lineups.

 

 

 

NFL Week 15 RBs

As this article is being written, the presumed starting NFL DFS RBs for the New York Jets, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Seattle Seahawks are all dealing with various injuries that may or may not cause them to be inactive in Week 15. 

Lower cost NFL DFS RBs like Braelon Allen, Patrick Taylor, Rachaad White, and Zach Charbonnet may end up starting in Week 15 and are potential good options for inclusion in your NFL DFS lineups. 

There are several other NFL DFS RBs that will definitely be starting in Week 15 that you should consider using in your NFL DFS lineups. These are a few of my favorites and I hope that by the end of Week 15 they’ll be your favorites as well.

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Top-Tier Picks For Week 15

Derrick Henry, RB Baltimore Ravens - DraftKings: $8,300 | FanDuel: $9,200 

The New York Giants were able to keep Alvin Kamara in check last week but with Henry coming off a bye he’s going to have fresh legs and likely hard to contain. 

After scoring at least one TD in his first 11 games Henry hasn’t crossed the goal line in two straight games. However, a matchup against the Giants who have given up six TDs in their last four games to NFL DFS RBs should allow Henry to start a new TD scoring streak. 

Joe Mixon, RB Houston Texans - DraftKings: $7,800 | FanDuel: $9,000 

Mixon is another NFL DFS RB who should be well rested and coming off his Week 14 bye. He didn’t really need the week off since he was riding high in Week 13. He rushed for 101 yards (5.05 YPC) and caught four passes against the Jaguars before his bye week. 

Mixon appears to have a good matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. They’ve played better against the run lately but have given up the fourth most rushing TDs to NFL DFS RBs this season.

Bijan Robinson, RB Atlanta Falcons - DraftKings: $7,600 | FanDuel: $8,900 

Robinson is averaging 24 carries per game over the last two weeks, and he has also scored TDs in his last two games. He played 85% of the Falcons’ offensive snaps last week, his highest rate since Week 1. 

He faces the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15, and they’ve given up 4.48 YPC and 13 total TDs in 13 games to NFL DFS RBs this season. 

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Mid-Tier Picks For Week 15

Josh Jacobs, RB Green Bay Packers - DraftKings: $7,400 | FanDuel: $8,200

Jacobs has been on fire lately, averaging 4.50 YPC and scoring 11 total TDs in his last seven games. He played 80% of the Packers’ offensive snaps in Week 14, tied for his highest rate of the season. 

Jacobs faces the Seattle Seahawks whose run defense has improved as the season has progressed, but they’ve given up the seventh most rushing yards (1423) to NFL DFS RBs this season. 

Aaron Jones Sr., RB Minnesota Vikings - DraftKings: $7,300 | FanDuel: $8,500

Jones Sr. seems to have recovered from his recent fumbling issues and has a good chance to have a productive game against the Chicago Bears in Week 15. Jones Sr. has three total TDs over his last three games and is averaging 5.03 YPC during that time span. 

The Bears have given up the most rushing yards and five rushing TDs to NFL DFS RBs over their last five games. In his last game against the Bears in Week 12, Jones Sr. rushed for 106 yards (4.82 YPC), caught three passes and scored a rushing TD.

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Value Picks For Week 15

Chuba Hubbard, RB Carolina Panthers - DraftKings: $6,500 | FanDuel: $7,500 

With Jonathon Brooks unfortunately suffering another torn ACL, Hubbard’s role as the Panthers’ lead back seems to be secure. He has a good matchup against a Dallas Cowboys run defense that has given up five total TDs to NFL DFS RBs over the past five weeks. 

Hubbard’s YPC game average has dipped recently but he is averaging 4.31 YPC, just over two catches per game and he has scored five TDs in his last five games.

Rico Dowdle, RB Dallas Cowboys - DraftKings: $6,200 | FanDuel: $7,100 

You know I’m always looking to start any NFL DFS RB who has a matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Dowdle has the luxury of running against the Panthers in Week 15. 

They’ve given up the most rushing yards (1802) to NFL DFS RBs this season. Dowdle really seems to be settling into his role as the Cowboys’ lead back. He’s averaging 5.58 YPC in his last three games.

Brian Robinson, RB Washington Commanders - DraftKings: $6,200 | FanDuel: $7,300 

Robinson Jr. should be completely healthy coming off his bye week. He had been dealing with an ankle sprain, but you wouldn’t know it from his Week 13 production.

In that game, Robinson Jr. rushed for 103 yards (6.44 YPC) and scored a rushing TD. He faces the Saints in Week 15, and they’ve given up 4.88 YPC to NFL DFS RBs over the past five weeks.

 

 

 

NFL DFS RB Fades For Week 15

Nick Chubb, RB Cleveland Browns - DraftKings: $5,500 | FanDuel: $6,300

Chubb hasn’t been himself since he returned to action in Week 7, He’s only averaging 3.13 YPC and his offensive snaps played rate has leveled off into the mid-30% range after peaking at 66% in Week 12. 

Chubb has a very tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs who have given up the fewest total rushing yards (760) to NFL DFS RBs this season.

 

 

 

NFL Week 15 RB Play Of The Week 

Kyren Williams, RB Los Angeles Rams - DraftKings: $7,300 | FanDuel: $8,500

I can’t help but recommend Williams again this week. He’s scored four TDs in his last three games and is averaging 4.38 YPC. 

He faces the San Francisco 49ers who have given up the fourth most rushing yards (558) and eight total TDs to NFL DFS RBs over the past five weeks. Williams scored three TDs (two on the ground and one through the air) in his first meeting against the 49ers this season.
