Fantasy Football 2019: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 15
START ‘EM – RB
45. . Running Back. Denver Broncos. Phillip Lindsay. 30. player
A good rule of thumb for any fantasy owner is to start whichever running back is playing the Chiefs. That’s because Kansas City’s run defense is one of the worst in the league, and that means this week’s lucky winner in this department is Phillip Lindsay of the Broncos!
With Denver’s offense suddenly clicking, expect the Broncos to run the ball down KC’s throat and keep themselves in the game. That bodes well for Lindsay, who didn’t do much against the Chiefs in week seven, but should do well in his second crack at them this season.
SIT ‘EM – RB
50. . Running Back. Detroit Lions. Bo Scarbrough. 40. player
The Lions have been ravaged by injuries this year and that paved the way for Bo Scarbrough to get the starting job in Detroit. While he’s been the lead back for the Lions as of late, I wouldn’t trust him to get the job done this week for your fantasy squad.
A big reason for that is the opposition, the Buccaneers, who are one of the best teams at stopping the run. Another reason to steer clear of Scarbrough is that he hasn’t found the end zone since the Lions first threw him to the fire in week 11. That’s recipe for a Sit ‘Em, especially in the fantasy playoffs.
