Week 15: NFL Regular Season | Fantasy Football Player Rankings
Another wild fantasy football play-off week as fantasy owners saw players like Jerome Harrison and Ben Roethlisberger bounce back and have huge fantasy games.
Unfortunately, if any fantasy owners actually still have Harrison, they probably didn't start him this week, but he should be a strong play next week against the Raiders.
Below I have some observations from the 15th week of the regular season and how I see those points of interest playing out from a fantasy perspective.
2009 NFL Regular Season Week Fifteen
Regular Season First Fourteen Weeks
Fantasy Football Regular Season Week Fifteen Notes:
Jerome Harrison & Joshua Cribbs Go Crazy
While Jerome Harrison had 34 carries for 286 yards rushing and two touchdown runs on the game. Harrison's 286 yards rushing was one of the best single game rushing efforts in NFL history and broke the Browns all time record.
Look for Harrison to have another solid game next week against the Raiders as I'm sure the team will let him continue as the feature runner.
Kick returner Joshua Cribbs had another solid game for his team as well with two kickoff returns for touchdowns as well.
Cribbs is the best return man in football and in this game he had his best return game of his career.
Look for the Browns to continue their solid end of the season next week against the Raiders.
Matt Moore and Steve Smith Are Building a Connection
This has been a very bad fantasy football season for Steve Smith, but truthfully it was easy to see that it wasn't his fault. Jake Delhomme is washed up and head coach John Fox is too loyal to bench Delhomme until he suffered an injury a few weeks ago.
Since Delhomme has been absent, Smith's fantasy value has come back to life and tonight was a huge game for the star receiver. In this game Smith had nine receptions for 157 yards receiving and a 42-yard touchdown catch.
Smith almost had a 50-yard touchdown as well, but he was tackled inside the five yard line.
It looks like the Panthers have themselves a good young quarterback in Matt Moore, and he has made Smith a valuable fantasy receiver once again.
