Fantasy Football Player Notes

Peterson is not going to be a recommended start against the Eagles in Week 15, but he will be against the Giants in Week 16. That's a game he should see 15-plus touches in, and though they've been better against the run as of late, you can't find those touches on the waiver wire.

McLaurin has been the lone bright spot this season for the Redskins, and even his 3-51 line against the Patriots was a positive, with Colt McCoy as his quarterback and a ton of defensive focus on him. It's hard to be even remotely excited about anyone in Washington, but McLaurin remains a player who you can start at wide receiver most weeks, particularly in deeper formats.

Ronald Jones is apparently the starter, but if you desperate at running back, you can play it safe with someone like Nyheim Hines or Chris Thompson, but it might be in your best interest to take a stab in the dark at the Bucs' backfield. There is a chance, as always, that Barber ends up with 15 touches which would go a long way against a lousy Lions' defense.

It is possible that the Lions go sign a veteran in the next 24 hours like Mike Davis or Jay Ajayi, but if that doesn't happen, we've got the clear number one running back that plays all three downs. He didn't do much with 16 touches last week, but you can't replace volume.
