5 best fantasy football matchups to exploit for Week 15
1. Miles Sanders, RB, Philadelphia Eagles (vs. CHI)
What a season it has been for Eagles running back Miles Sanders. From infamously telling fantasy managers not to draft him back in August to now being the overall RB9 in PPR scoring, Sanders’ successful year has proven huge to both the Eagles and all of the fantasy football managers who ignored his warning and drafted him anyway.
Sanders is coming off of an absolute scorching of the New York Giants, rushing 17 times for 144 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His 140-yard performance is his second in the last three weeks. Sanders is heating up at the right time for fantasy teams who have him for their playoff runs.
Sanders couldn’t have drawn a better Week 15 matchup than the Chicago Bears, who allow the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs and allow more rushing yards than they rush for as an offense — which is high. Sanders is a no-brainer RB1 this week in both regular and daily fantasy lineups.
