FanDuel NFL: Week 15 lineup

Running Backs: Le’Veon Bell, Pittsburgh Steelers-$9,400; Kenyan Drake, Miami Dolphins-$6,500

Bell has gone six games without topping 100 rushing yards, but he has offset that with double-digit passing game targets in three of the last four and has put up over 100 yards from scrimmage in five straight games.

The New England Patriots are in the middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to running backs this season. But they have allowed 4.9 yards per carry to the position overall, including 5.2 yards per carry over their last two games. Dolphins running back Kenyan Drake put up 193 total yards on 30 touches last Monday night, and Bell can easily replicate that this week. Sometimes it’s worth paying up for the top option at a position, and Bell is that among running backs for DFS play in Week 15.

Speaking of Drake, has has taken over as Miami’s lead back with Jay Ajayi gone and Damien Williams injured. He has posted back-to-back 20-plus carry, 100-yard rushing games, with eight receptions on 13 targets to supplement that nicely.

Even if Williams is able to return in Week 15, Drake has earned the right to operate as the Dolphins’ No. 1 back in a very favorable matchup.

The Buffalo Bills are 27th in the league against the run, and they’ve allowed the most fantasy points to running backs (ESPN PPR scoring). That includes the most rushing touchdowns (15) and the most rushing yards allowed to the position, with mid-tier production ceded to running backs in the passing game.

If he’s able to play this week, Williams may siphon some passing down work from Drake. But the Alabama product is still a worthy part of any FanDuel lineup for Week 15.
