Start em Sit em Running Back and Tight Ends Week 15

Must-Sit Running Backs

1. Zack Charan and Kenneth Walker vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Charan and Walker are up against the Eagles’ stout run defense, ranking sixth in rushing yards allowed per game. With the Eagles potentially forcing the opposing team to pass more, it’s best to avoid these running backs in Week 15.

2. Rhamondre Stevenson vs. New York Jets

Stevenson had a good game recently, but the Jets’ run defense has improved significantly. They’ve allowed only 112.7 rushing yards per game in the last three weeks, making it a less than ideal matchup for Stevenson.

3. James Conner vs. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers have been effective in limiting running backs in recent weeks. Conner might face challenges, and the 49ers’ defense could make running the ball difficult. Consider other options for Week 15.

Must-Start Tight Ends

1. Isaiah Likely vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Likely is on fire, coming off a strong performance against the Rams. He now faces the Jaguars, who have been generous to tight ends, allowing 14 fantasy points per game. Likely is a must-start tight end this week.

2. Logan Thomas vs. Los Angeles Rams

The Rams have struggled to defend against tight ends, giving up a significant number of yards and touchdowns. Thomas is a solid option to exploit this matchup, and he should be considered as a starter.

3. Cole Kmet vs. Green Bay Packers

Kmet is becoming a reliable option in the Bears’ passing game. He’s facing a Packers defense that has been vulnerable to tight ends. With his recent involvement in the offense, Kmet is worth starting in Week 15.

Must-Sit Tight Ends

1. Travis Kelce vs. New England Patriots

While it might seem unusual to sit Kelce, the Patriots have been tough on tight ends, allowing only 8.63 fantasy points per game in the last four weeks. Temper your expectations, but Kelce remains a top-tier option.

2. Evan Engram vs. Baltimore Ravens

Engram has had a couple of good games recently, but facing the Ravens’ defense is a challenge. The Ravens are among the top defenses against tight ends, making Engram a risky play in Week 15.

3. Dalton Schultz or Brevin Jordan vs. Tennessee Titans

The Titans have been effective in limiting tight ends, allowing just 8.33 fantasy points per game over the last four weeks. With uncertain situations in the Texans’ lineup, it’s best to find other options at tight end for this week.
