David Johnson, John Brown, Darren Fells Post-Week 15 Fantasy Advice

The Arizona Cardinals' high-powered offense was on display during a 40-17 Sunday Night Football win against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15.

Despite his team scoring 40 points, quarterback Carson Palmer had just one passing touchdown, because running back David Johnson—and his fantasy owners—had one heck of a game.

Johnson's career day gave hope to those still alive in the fantasy playoffs. Granted, the Eagles were the 21st-ranked defense against fantasy running backs coming into Week 15, per ESPN.com, but it was still an impressive performance by the rookie.

He now has seven touchdowns on the season and has rushed for at least 92 yards in each of the past three weeks, proving he is no fluke.

Although the Packers rank a little better against fantasy running backs at No. 14, it's not a scary matchup for Johnson in Week 16.

Because he has not been producing like this all season, Johnson is not an RB1 at this point, but consider him a high-end RB2 moving forward, especially because the Packers have a slightly better defense against wide receivers than running backs.

John Brown salvaged his night with a touchdown despite hauling in just three of his nine targets for 38 yards.

The best news is that he's had at least five targets in each of the past four games, and his nine led the team Sunday even though he's the No. 2 receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald.

Brown has big-play capabilities, and Palmer likes throwing his way, so consider him a WR2 against a fairly tough matchup.

He always has the ability to catch a deep pass, but even if he does not, it's likely that he will see the ball at least five to eight times per game.

Tight end Darren Fells has three touchdowns to his name this season, but Week 15 marked the fourth straight game in which he failed to find the end zone. He has seen just eight targets during that stretch.

The fact that the Packers rank 24th in terms of fantasy points allowed to tight ends doesn't matter if Palmer is not throwing Fells' way.

There are too many tight ends playing at a high level to consider Fells worth a play. If he's on your bench, keep him there unless you are dealing with an injury at the tight end position.
