4. Damien Harris, New England Patriots

Though Damien Harris has missed the last two weeks for the Patriots, he looks like he’s on track to return in Week 15 — and it may come at the perfect time. Rhamondre Stevenson exited the Patriots’ Week 14 win with an ankle injury, and he looks very iffy to play. This could leave plenty of opportunity for Harris.

The Raiders have a respectable run defense, but the Patriots have proven to have their way with teams in the run game regardless of how good they are. If Stevenson is inactive, Harris should see nearly all the backfield work, making him a potentially startable option in Week 15.

3. J.K. Dobbins, Baltimore Ravens

J.K. Dobbins returned from injury in a major way last week, rushing 15 times for 120 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. He looks like Baltimore’s most explosive back, and they should continue to ride him for as long as Lamar Jackson is out with an injury.

Nobody can replicate Rashaad Penny’s historic, fantasy championship-winning stretch from around this time last year, but Dobbins could do something similar for playoff teams who held onto him or picked him up at the right time.
