Week 15 Starter Help: NFL Fantasy Football | PPR & Standard Leagues

The second week of the fantasy football playoffs are upon us and that means we are now deeper into December. Make sure you keep an eye out for the weather this coming weekend in outdoor games.

If you can get a decent kicker that is in a dome or plays on the west coast or Florida that isn't a bad idea for this week. It doesn't hurt to have a player on your bench to go to in a pinch just in case.

Oh, and one more thing, bring your running game if you plan on winning a fantasy football championship. This time of year the runners rule the roost.
