10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 15

It’s fantasy playoff time. Whether you’re watching playoff matchups this week, or playing DFS lineups as an alternative, here are running back sleepers.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. No, not Christmas… the fantasy football playoffs. If you made the cut, or you’re watching from the outside looking in while doing DraftKings or FanDuel, you’ll be in need of running back sleepers. Here are several that could outperform their ranking this week. Let’s get into it!

10 running back sleepers for fantasy football Week 15

10. AJ Dillon, Green Bay Packers

AJ Dillon had one of his best games of the season last week, but this was largely due to Aaron Jones exiting the game. His 18 carries were tied for his season high, and his 93 yards were the most for him this year. When given the opportunity, Dillon has been very productive.

Dillon’s status as a possible week-winning option will depend on the status of Jones, who has been limited in practice all week. If he can’t go, Dillon will vault up to mid-range RB1 status. If Jones does play, Dillon will likely return to change-of-pace duties. Keep an eye on this one this weekend.

9. Raheem Mostert, Miami Dolphins

Raheem Mostert is another back whose outlook will depend on the health and status of his backfield mate. Jeff Wilson is questionable for the Dolphins’ Saturday showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Last week, Mostert saw increased playing time which saw him rush 11 times for 37 yards.

Mostert’s outlook would instantly improve if Wilson missed the game, but the matchup with the Bills’ stout run defense in a possible lake-effect snow game will make things a little more challenging than they normally would be. If Wilson misses, Mostert would make for an intriguing start for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.
