Lamar Jackson throws one touchdown in Week 15.

Jackson was 14/23 for 131 yards and one touchdown along with 18 carries for 95 yards and one fumble lost against the Buccaneers. The touchdown was on a pop pass to Chris Moore for five yards. Jackson hasn’t had a monster game yet, but he has at least 15 fantasy points in each of his starts. He’ll be playing in primetime this Saturday night against the Chargers, so he’d be a fun player to use in fantasy championships, but overall there are probably stronger QB1 options given the tough matchup.

Mark Ingram II gets 14 touches against the Panthers.

Ingram carried 12 times for 63 yards and caught two passes for 11 yards in the Saints’ Monday night Week 15 victory. Throughout the night, Ingram pushed forward and gained positive yardage on his attempts, helping lead a running game that did a nice job in a defensive battle. Ingram next faces the Steelers and should be good for another dozen or so touches, so he’ll remain in the backend RB2 mix; at the very least, he’s a FLEX option in a relatively tough matchup in the first week of most fantasy championships.

Mike Evans goes over 120 yards in Bucs’ loss.

Evans caught four passes for 121 yards against the Ravens, with a long of 64 yards supplying over half of his yardage total in the Week 15 loss. This was a strong showing in a tough matchup, as Evans continues to make big plays this season. He’s already crossed his career-high in yardage for a season, and he’s over 1,300 receiving yards for the second time in his career. Evans will look to keep it going next week against the Cowboys, but Dallas has done a solid job against opposing wide receivers this season.

Christian McCaffrey carries the entire Carolina offense in Week 15 loss.

McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 53 yards, also adding eight receptions for 67 yards and a 50-yard touchdown pass. The score was the only touchdown of the game for the Panthers, and it came on a trick play to Chris Manhertz on fourth-and-one at midfield in the first quarter. After that, Carolina could only move the ball with tough runs and short passes by McCaffrey, who could have had a bigger night if Cam Newton didn’t struggle with inaccuracy. The Panthers now face long playoff odds at 6-8, but McCaffrey should remain a near every-snap player at least until they are officially eliminated from postseason contention. An argument can be made for the Stanford product as the top overall play in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Trent Sherfield scores first career touchdown in loss to the Falcons.

Sherfield caught three passes for 15 yards, including a seven-yard score in the fourth quarter of a blowout. The rookie can stay on the waiver wire for the fantasy championship.

Alvin Kamara scores in Saints’ Monday night win.

Kamara carried 14 times for 67 yards and a touchdown along with seven receptions for 36 yards in the Week 15 win over the Panthers. It was fun to see Kamara do battle with Carolina’s defense led by Luke Kuechly throughout the night, and he delivered a solid performance for fantasy owners. The score was on a 16-yard score on a run that he bounced outside before going untouched to the end zone. Next week against the Steelers isn’t an easy matchup, but Kamara will remain one of the better Week 16 fantasy options with fantasy titles on the line.

T.J. Logan handles five touches in loss to the Falcons.

Logan rushed once for a loss of three yards and caught four passes for 18 yards. The North Carolina product isn’t a recommended fantasy option.
