Week 15 RB Rankings

Devin Singletary (vs. WAS) — Each of the past four lead backs and seven of the past eight have scored over their PPR season average when facing the Commanders. Devin Singletary is fresh off of the bye and in Week 13, he turned 15 touches into 102 yards and a TD against the Patriots. Tracy is expected to play, but if injuries limit him, Singletary should be in the 12-16 touch range.

TreVeyon Henderson (vs. BUF) — Among qualified RBs, Henderson ranks eighth in PPR points per touch. Only the Giants, but rush EPA, have a worse run defense than the Bills this season.

Rams RB Machine (vs DET) — 41 RBs have 100 carries and two have picked up 5+ yards on over 43% of them ... Kyren Williams (44.9%) and Blake Corum (44.6%).

Ashton Jeanty (at PHI) — 102.4% of his rushing yards over the past month have come after contact. The Eagles, even with their recent struggles, rank 12th in rush yards allowed per carry after contact to RBs.

Tony Pollard (at SF) — He scored 21.7 fantasy points on his two long TD runs last week in CLE. He totaled 19 PPR points in the three weeks prior. The 49ers have allowed just 8 rushing TDs this season, fourth fewest.

Week 15 Spread Picks

Mayo, Geoff Fienberg and Tim Anderson go game-by-game and make their 2025 Week 15 Spread Picks, Bets, Survivor Picks, and chat about Philip Rivers returning to the NFL, Mayo’s Trip to KC, and CUst’s awful Sunday with the Jets losing to Miami and ND missing the college playoff. Plus, a mini Cust Corner on the Tip Jars, Summer vs Winter Drinks, and Half Time shows.

Week 15 WR Rankings

Davante Adams (vs DET) — He leads the league with 26 end zone targets, one more than George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb have… COMBINED.

Justin Jefferson struggles (at DAL) — 42 WRs have 40+ catches this season and two are averaging under 1.5 PPR points per targets: Jefferson (1.44) and Malik Washington (1.42).

2026 ONE AND DONE CONTEST

As a heads up, the Race for the Mayo Cup 2026 is OPEN FOR BUSINESS!!!!!! It starts in January per usual, but there’s now $1.2M guaranteed in the prize pool. The top 750 get paid, and just look at this glorious, flat payout structure. Everyone inside the Top 20 will win at least $10,000 with $110,000 to the winner.

The Sentry has been cancelled this year, so there won’t be a tournament to remind you to sign up for the following week. So, just reserve your spot right now as not to forget.

Tambo and I always mention how we get our dad’s entries for Christmas (since buying for a Dad is basically impossible), I highly recomend that move.
