10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 15
By Nick Villano
6. Damien Harris – New England Patriots
The New England Patriots had a whole week off to revel in their rushing superiority against the Buffalo Bills. Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson were killing it on Monday Night Football, but at one point Harris came up limping. He was out for the rest of the game, and Stevenson took over.
This week, Harris comes back after two weeks of recovering from his injury. Remember, his game is on Saturday night against the Indianapolis Colts. This decision will come early, so if he is out, you will have the full slate of Sunday and Monday options at your disposal. Harris has been really good when he’s able to stay healthy. This should be another good matchup for him.
5. D’Ernest Johnson – Cleveland Browns
Kareem Hunt has already been ruled out this week, and the Browns should be keeping Nick Chubb on a limited carry status to keep him healthy. D’Ernest Johnson should at least get some red zone carries for a touchdown chance against the Las Vegas Raiders.
This is a great matchup for Johnson to get back in the good graces of fantasy. The Raiders are terrible against the run this season. They’ve allowed the third-most fantasy points to the position this season. With 18 total touchdowns given up this season, the Raiders are a likely candidate to give up at least one to both Nick Chubb and D’Ernest Johnson. This is a score or bust matchup for Johnson, so if there’s something a little better in your lineup, maybe shoot for that.
