Fantasy Football Player Notes
2025 Rest of Season Rankings
|
1.
Jahmyr Gibbs
DET (at CHI)
Jahmyr Gibbs has been on a funny trend. In every other game starting in Week 7, Gibbs has finished as a top-3 fantasy RB. The Lions' superstar RB played a season-high 80% snaps in Week 15.

RJ Harvey
DEN (vs . LAC)
RJ Harvey suffered a rib injury late in the fourth quarter, putting his status in question for Week 16. Also lost a fumble. If Harvey can't go, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie figure to split touches in the Broncos' backfield. McLaughlin is likely to see more base work and red-zone usage with Badie working more as a pass-catcher on long down and distance.
Harvey might also be a landmine play this week if he is less than 100%. Jaguars are allowing the fewest rushing yards per game to opposing RBs. |
|
18.
Quinshon Judkins
CLE (at CIN)
Quinshon Judkins handled the majority of RB touches with 12 carries for just 21 yards (67% snap share) with three catches for -4 yards. Trayveon Williams was the other RB with Dylan Sampson inactive.
The Browns' OL is pretty banged up, hence Judkins' poor YPC. Even so, Judkins has 16-plus RB opportunities in 10 of his last 12 games played. And the Bills are next. The Browns have a top-10 schedule ROS for RBs. |

Omarion Hampton
LAC (at DEN)
In the backfield, Kimani Vidal dominated the snaps at 64% over Omarion Hampton (36%). Hampton led the way with 15 carries for 61 yards (including a 26-yard burst). The rookie also played more on third downs than the previous week and he seized the red-zone work for the second straight game.
I'd expect the team to continue to lean on Hampton in what will be his third game back from IR in Week 16 versus Dallas. He has 15-plus touches in back-to-back games. In the last two games, the Chargers have a -9% pass rate over expectation. Weeks 1-13: +4%. If Dallas doesn't have Quinnen Williams...wheels up for the Chargers' rushing attack. |
|
22.
Breece Hall
NYJ (at BUF)
Breece Hall felt like a landmine this week - and he blew up for fantasy managers in all the wrong ways. 12 for 23 yards and just two catches for 14 yards.
Isaiah Davis was the better Jets RB, rushing for 58 yards on 9 carries (24-yard long). The long TD was somewhat stinky in garbage time, but he was involved through the first half with Hall. The Jets RB1 feels so tough to trust even with a good matchup next week. Impending free agent in a lost season. |
|
23.
Woody Marks
HOU (vs . IND)
Woody Marks left the Texans' game with an ankle injury (not before scoring on a fumble in the end zone at least). With Nick Chubb already out, the Texans' backfield was led by Jawhar Jordan rushed for 101 yards on 15 carries against the Cardinals in his NFL debut.
Jordan gained 80 yards after contact, the 2nd-most by a Texans rusher this season, while forcing 7 missed tackles, tied for the most among Texans rushers this season. He was particularly effective on outside runs, rushing for 84 yards across 8 carries. Jordan also contributed in the passing game, catching 2 receptions for 17 yards, totaling 118 yards from scrimmage in his pro debut (Next Gen Stats). DeMeco Ryans said later that Marks could have gone back into the game - making Jordan a fringy bet with Marks and/or Chubb also re-joining the backfield in Week 16. Still, Jordan is worth the add in case those guys aren't as healthy as the coaches are leading us to believe. Also, can't ignore that it took one game for Jordan to hit 100 yards - something Marks has not done all season. Concerned that bell cow Woody might not reappear this season. Also, the Texans were back to their red-zone shenanigans, giving two GL carries to Dare Ogunbowale. |

35.
Tony Pollard
TEN (at JAC)
Tony Pollard continued his hot streak with another 104 yards and 1 TD on 14 carries. The backfield is clearly shifting toward Pollard.
And this man has some contract incentives within reach to round out the season. 1,110 yards and 7 TDs are well within reach. Against a Patrick Mahomes-less Chiefs team that just got knocked out of the playoffs...I think Tony Pollard might be a sneaky start in Week 16 (bold). Pollard is averaging 20 touches per game over the last two weeks (fantasy RB1 in back-to-back weeks). |

Kareem Hunt
KC (at LV)
siah Pacheco led the backfield (started), not Kareem Hunt. Pacheco carried the ball 11 times for 21 yards to Hunt's six for 12. Pacheco also earned 5 RZ carries.
Travis Kelce went 7-for-70 on nine targets, while Rashee Rice caught 7 balls for 51 yards on a team-high 11 targets. KC has one of the highest pass rates in the NFL - so I don't envision them "relying" on a non-existent run game. Unless, of course, they want to make sure Hunt reaches his contract incentives (750 total yards). |

Audric Estime
NO (at ATL)
Devin Neal left the game versus the Panthers due to a hamstring injury. He did not play in the second half. Evan Hull led the backfield with three carries in the second half, but Audric Estime also sprinkled in one carry with three receptions. Estime ended out-touching Hull while edging him out in total snaps (36% versus 32%).
ROS schedule. Great overall, and top 10 for RBs in the playoffs: Jets/Titans Weeks 16-17. Hence why it's important to target the right Saints RB off waivers if Neal is out (and Alvin Kamara remains sidelined). I've been an Estime-stan since he came out of Notre Dame - and the advantage in touches/snaps has me leaning toward him as my waiver wire target. He played 45% of the third down snaps, which suggests he should remain involved in the passing game. Estime is also the more physically imposing back, measuring at 5-foot-11 and 227 pounds. Bold. |

Emari Demercado
ARI (at LAR)
Bam Knight (ankle) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Texans.
Michael Carter led the backfield with 14 carries for 56 yards (four catches on four targets). Emari Demercado only had one carry in his first game back (three targets). If Knight misses Week 16, I'd expect more of a committee with Demercado leading the charge. That's because from Weeks 9-10 (the last two games Demercado played before his injury, Carter was either inactive or clearly behind him in the pecking order. His snaps increased directly in correlation with Demercado's missed time (Weeks 11-14). Both RBs are worth adding, but I prefer Demercado straight up (presuming we get more positive reports regarding his health this week, as he only played 7 snaps versus the Texans). |

LeQuint Allen Jr.
JAC (vs . TEN)
Bhayshul Tuten also scored a receiving TD. However, it was reported Monday that he will undergo finger surgery. Considering he already has a bit of a fumbling problem, this will cause him to miss the next few weeks. Drop him. LeQuint Allen is now the de facto handcuff for ETN.
