Week 15 Fantasy Rankings: Felix Jones and Where Other Running Backs Rank
Here’s LestersLegends’ Week 15 fantasy football running back rankings:
1. Arian Foster vs. Carolina: T.J. Yates is good enough to keep the Panthers, who are allowing 128.9 ypg, from stuffing the box. Monster effort is expected.
2. Chris Johnson @ Indianapolis: Had a hiccup last week, but the Colts are giving up 144.3 ypg. Has had 130 or more yards in three of past five games.

3. LeSean McCoy vs. New York Jets: Continually finds a way to get into the end zone.
4. Maurice Jones-Drew @ Atlanta: Leads the league with 1,222 rushing yards. Single-handedly helped teams advance to Week 15 last week.
5. Ray Rice @ San Diego: Dual threat has 363 total yards and two TDs in his past two games.
6. Cedric Benson @ St. Louis: Rams simply can’t stop the run and Benson is averaging 91.0 total yards in his past three games.
7. Beanie Wells vs. Cleveland: After facing the Niners’ stifling run defense, Cleveland’s (150.9 ypg allowed) will be a pleasant sight.
8. Reggie Bush @ Buffalo: The Bills have allowed 130.7 ypg and 15 TDs. Bush continues to deliver.
9. Michael Turner vs. Jacksonville: Jags have allowed 12 rushing TDs. Hasn’t scored in three straight games, so he’s due.
10. Shonn Greene @ Philadelphia: Picking the right time to peak. Eagles have allowed 115.1 ypg and 11 rushing scores.
11. Adrian Peterson vs. New Orleans: Should be healthy enough to play this week. Could be a little rusty, but he’s All Day.
12. Felix Jones @ Tampa Bay: Bucs have allowed a league-high 19 rushing TDs.
13. Roy Helu @ New York Giants: Three straight 100-plus yard games. The G-Men have allowed 127.9 and 13 rushing TDs.
14. Ryan Mathews vs. Baltimore: Also has three straight 100-plus yard games, but the Ravens present a stiffer test.
15. Michael Bush vs. Detroit: I still don’t think McFadden returns. The Lions are giving up 136.1 ypg.
16. Ryan Grant @ Kansas City: Suddenly Grant is back. Should continue against the Chiefs (132.5, 13 rushing TDs).
17. Marshawn Lynch @ Chicago: The Bears have a strong run defense, but Lynch is on fire.
18. Rashard Mendenhall @ San Francisco: Running well. Will he be the first to run on in on the Niners?
19. LeGarrette Blount vs. Dallas: Dallas’ offense is a threat to take him out of the game.
20. Peyton Hillis @ Arizona: Cardinals giving up 117.2 ypg and 13 rushing TDs. Will the Madden cover boy deliver after the extra rest?
21. Frank Gore vs. Pittsburgh: Steelers are hard to run on, but Gore is a tough runner.
22. Marion Barber vs. Seattle: Showed he still has something in the tank against Denver. Another surprisingly tough test this week.
23. Ahmad Bradshaw vs. Washington: Hopefully he doesn’t end up in the doghouse again. Either way he’s sharing with Jacobs, making him a low-end RB2.
24. Willis McGahee vs. New England: Helu showed the Pats can be run on.
25. Darren Sproles @ Minnesota: The Saints could score 50-plus on the Vikings. Sproles will get plenty of action.
26. Steven Jackson vs. Cincinnati: Tough matchup for an RB trending in the wrong direction.
27. BenJarvus Green-Ellis @ Denver: Denver has only allowed six rushing scores, which is where Law Firm is most useful. Tricky play in the fantasy playoffs.
28. Jonathan Stewart @ Houston: Quiet last week, but they’ll need his tough running against the #4 run defense (91.5 ypg).
29. C.J. Spiller vs. Miami: The Dolphins have the No. 3 run defense (89.9 ypg allowed).
30. Ben Tate vs. Carolina: There should be enough for Tate to make a flex option against the Panthers’ soft run D.
