ESPN fantasy % rostered: 60.5%

Week 15 stats: 52 rushing yards, 8 receptions, 70 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns — 34.2 fantasy points

One thing to know: Jerick McKinnon was the highest-scoring running back in fantasy on Sunday. Last week, he was also the highest-scoring running back in fantasy. Somehow, he's available in 40% of leagues heading into the championship rounds of the fantasy season. Get him before your opponent does.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 33.5%

Week 15 stats: 139 rushing yards, 1 touchdown — 22.6 fantasy points

One thing to know: Tyler Allgeier might not be known as the top man in the Atlanta backfield, but he's gotten at least 10 carries in three straight games and had three more carries and 87 more yards on the ground on Sunday against the Saints than fellow back Cordarrelle Patterson. All that said, next week's matchup against the Ravens is a tough one.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 77.2%

Week 15 stats: 130 rushing yards, 1 reception, 12 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 21.2 fantasy points

One thing to know: There's not a lot working within the Broncos offense, but at the very least, Latavius Murray has emerged as a running back that can move the ball well enough. He's hit at least 10 fantasy points in four of his past five games and is still available in more leagues than he should be.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 11.9%

Week 15 stats: 55 rushing yards, 1 touchdown — 10.6 fantasy points

One thing to know: Deon Jackson got the majority of the workload for the Colts on Saturday after Jonathan Taylor left with an ankle injury. While Taylor might be able to play next week, the Colts may give their superstar running back some extra time to heal, given they aren't playing for much after blowing the biggest lead in NFL history. If Jackson is the lead back next week, he'll have value in fantasy.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 70%

Week 15 stats: 6 receptions, 109 receiving yards, 3 touchdowns — 34.9 fantasy points

One thing to know: Zay Jones is averaging 20.5 fantasy points per game over his past five outings and is the biggest winner from the Jaguars' newfound offensive boom. With games against the Jets and Texans left on the schedule, the big performances might not be over yet.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 2.6%

Week 15 stats: 10 receptions, 157 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 31.7 fantasy points

One thing to know: One way to help guarantee your receivers have a big day in fantasy is to have them come back from a 33-0 deficit. While K.J. Osborn isn't likely to have another game with 16 targets any time soon, he could still have value in the final weeks of the fantasy season. Before the Vikings' big comeback against the Colts, Osborn managed 14.8 fantasy points against the Lions despite getting just five targets on the day.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 21.8%

Week 15 stats: 8 receptions, 59 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns — 25.9 fantasy points

One thing to know: Russell Gage is far from the top receiver in Tampa, but given the production he's had of late — three touchdowns in his past two games — Tom Brady isn't going to stop looking for him any time soon.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 1.6%

Week 15 stats: 6 receptions, 49 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns — 22.9 fantasy points

One thing to know: The Dallas Cowboys are averaging 37.1 points per game over their past seven games. This team scores a lot, and while the majority of their offensive weapons are already widely rostered in fantasy, chances are Noah Brown is still available in your league.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 0.8%

Week 15 stats: 3 receptions, 95 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 18.5 fantasy points

One thing to know: If you're in need of a desperation boom-or-bust player for your final push to the fantasy title, Rashid Shaheed might be your guy. He doesn't make a lot of catches, but every time he touches the ball, he's a threat to break free.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 19.7%

Week 15 stats: 4 receptions, 40 receiving yards, 1 touchdown — 14 fantasy points

One thing to know: Mack Hollins is averaging 11.6 fantasy points per game over his past five games. If you need a reliable 10 points out of your flex spot in the coming weeks, he's as good a bet as any.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 15.5%

Week 15 stats: 4 receptions, 67 receiving yards, 2 touchdowns — 22.7 fantasy points

One thing to know: Aside from Travis Kelce, Juwon Johnson has the most touchdowns of any tight end in the league, with seven on the year. With the position so thin in fantasy, it's worth having a guy that at least has a nose for the end zone.

ESPN fantasy % rostered: 65.8%

Week 15 stats: 8 receptions, 62 receiving yards — 14.2 fantasy points

One thing to know: Evan Engram is averaging 22.4 fantasy points per game over his past three games for the Jaguars. With the recent hot streak, he's now the fifth-highest-scoring tight end in all of fantasy on the year, and is still available in one of every three fantasy leagues.

Week 15 stats: 1 touchdown, 2 interceptions, 3 sacks, 34 points against — 11 fantasy points
