2. Best fantasy football pickups for Week 15: RB Zonovan Knight, New York Jets

Rostered: 58.0%

Knight continues to serve as the lead back for the Jets. On Sunday, he had 17 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown along with two receptions for six yards against the Buffalo Bills. Meanwhile, Michael Carter had only five carries for five yards, while James Robinson was a healthy scratch, once again.

Knight is a must-add in all leagues. The undrafted rookie has recorded 298 scrimmage yards, through his first three games. Moving forward, he should receive the volume to sustain his current pace.

Knight has a favorable schedule down the stretch. Next week, he has a tantalizing matchup against the Detroit Lions. The Lions are giving up the seventh-most rushing yards per game (139.8) and the second-most yards per carry (5.0). In addition, they have allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns (19) in the NFL. In Week 17, he will face the Seattle Seahawks, who are giving up the second-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season.
