Welcome to Week 15 and the first week of the fantasy football playoffs! If you made it this far … congratulations! Now, let’s go win that league championship!

The NFL schedule no longer has bye weeks, so we’ll get all 32 teams and all our players (at least the healthy ones) who have helped us get to the postseason.

This week’s running back ranking risers include Travis Etienne Jr., RJ Harvey, and Devin Neal, all of whom have great matchups and are fantasy starters. On the flip side, backs like Breece Hall, Kenneth Walker III, and Jaylen Warren could struggle versus tougher foes.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football running back rankings for Week 15 of the NFL season.

Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
