5 best fantasy football pickups to make for Week 15
By Jakob Ashlin
1. Best fantasy football pickups for Week 15: RB J.K. Dobbins, Baltimore Ravens
Rostered: 60.7%
The fact that Dobbins is rostered in only 60.7 percent of ESPN leagues is astounding. When healthy, Dobbins is one of the most impactful running backs in the NFL. In 2020, he was fantastic. After taking over as the lead back in Week 8, he was 11th among running backs in fantasy points. For the season, his efficient 6.0 yards per carry led all running backs.
Unfortunately, Dobbins missed the entire 2021 season due to injuries. This season, he has struggled to stay on the field. He missed the first two games of the season. He returned to the lineup in Week 3, but his return was short-lived. In Week 6, he suffered a knee injury against the New York Giants. Sunday marked his first game back, and Dobbins looked like his old self. He had 15 carries for 120 yards and a touchdown.
A healthy Dobbins is a major asset in fantasy leagues. If he is available in your league, he is a potential league-winning pickup.
