Fantasy Football Playoff Schedule: Five Running Backs With the Easiest Schedules
If this fantasy football season has taught us anything, it’s that you cannot have enough insurance.
Why not pick up some insurance right now for your fantasy playoffs?
If you’ve made it to the final weeks, you likely have a strong running back room. However, if an RB gets injured, you’ll want to have a handcuff ready with favorable matchups in Weeks 15-17. Or maybe you have enough room to roster your opponent’s handcuff to limit their options. Remember, defense wins championships. If your handcuff isn’t available, grab your opponent’s.
With that in mind, here are the five running back rooms with the easiest playoff schedule. Tyjae Spears, who makes the “others” list below, should also be a priority.
(Opponents for Weeks 15-17 in parentheses)
Austin Ekeler/Joshua Kelley (LV, BUF, DEN)
Bijan Robinson/Tyler Allgeier (CAR, IND, CHI)
DeAndre Swift/Kenneth Gainwell/Boston Scott (SEA, NYG, ARI)
Jaylen Warren/Najee Harris (IND, CIN, SEA)
Jerome Ford/Kareem Hunt (CHI, HOU, NYJ)
Others: Derrick Henry/Tyjae Spears (HOU, SEA, HOU), Rhamondre Stevenson/Ezekiel Elliott (KC, DEN, BUF)
