Good morning to my fellow fantasy football fiends! Did you start Ronald Jones II yesterday? How about Robert Woods? Don’t worry, we still have 13 games left in the fantasy football season, so let’s make the right calls from here on out, shall we? We have come too far to lay down now, even if Saturday didn’t go the way it was planned. With Derrick Henry not expected to play, it’s best to avoid the landmines such as starting Dion Lewis and go with a better option like DeAndre Washington. If you have other inquiries, as always, go ahead and ask your question in the comment section so I can help you set your lineup all the way up until kick off. Here is a look at the injury report and my rankings for the week. 

Here we are in the heart of December. It is week 15 of the NFL season which means it is the semi-finals for fantasy football. Outside of the semi-finals, we have a lot of fantasy football players that are playing to avoid last place punishment. We have seen some pretty grueling punishments for last place penalties and one of my keeper leagues has a long-standing punishment system as well. 

This league has been running for 6 years and I have yet to finish last place, so I am pretty happy about that. The punishment for last place is that you have to get your belly button pierced and keep it in throughout the entire draft. This punishment fits into the mold of mildly inconvenient, while not life-altering or too embarrassing. We’re all friends from high school so we talk about it all year long. The bellybutton bowl. I bet if you asked everyone in the league, they would have a better memory of who got their bellybutton pierced than who actually won the league in any given year. Let’s get to the updated injury list and rankings for week 15. 

We finally have another full slate on a Sunday. The bye weeks are finished, Thanksgiving is behind us and now it is time for the fantasy football playoffs. But along with the fantasy football playoffs, we get to enjoy three great matchups. The Baltimore Ravens go to Buffalo to take on the Bills while the 49ers stay on the Eastern side of the country and play at the always difficult Superdome in New Orleans. And finally, we get the Kansas City Chiefs visiting Gillette Stadium in Foxboro to take on the Patriots. Even of fantasy football doesn’t go your way Sunday, the games we get to see should be enough to entertain.

We have 3 games in the books already but what bye weeks a thing of the past, we pretty much have a full slate for your viewing pleasure. After 3 games, you may have a pretty decent idea how your fantasy week will go, but do not fret if you’re in a hole, there is plenty of football still left to play. If you’re fantasy season is in shambles, at least you get to watch the game of the year between the 49ers and the Ravens.

We also have the Browns and the Steelers battling to keep their playoff hopes alive. Mason Rudolph won’t be starting so chances are slim that he takes another helmet to the face. And for dessert on Sunday night, the Patriots travel to Houston for a battle of division leaders. Let’s get to the injuries and the rankings.

We start the day in London with the Texans against the Jaguars. The Jaguars have actually had recent success in London with their “go across seas on Thursday” strategy. The Texans followed that strategy this week, so let’s see what happens there. 

The Jets line up against the Dolphins for a big time garbage matchup and you know that we can’t wait for the Steelers vs. Colts. The Vikings could use a win against the Chiefs to keep pace in the division and the Chiefs could also use a win to keep control of the AFC West. The Bears and Eagles should be a pretty interesting game. The Bears can honestly put any quarterback out there and get the same production that their current starter gets. 

The Panthers will try to get something going against the Titans to keep their playoff hopes alive while the Bucs will try and play spoilers against the Seahawks. The Browns will try and correct the recent negative script against the Broncos and the Raiders and the Lions will try and stay really relevant in the playoff race.
