Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 15: Latest Fantasy Football Lineup Advice for Sunday

Welcome to the fantasy football semifinals.

From first-round busts (we don’t want any problems, Todd Gurley) to late-round steals (same goes for you, LeGarrette Blount), it’s been a wild ride—as it always is.

This week brings cold weather, mouth-watering matchups and huge stakes.

Let’s talk starts and sits.

                

Running Backs

Start: Tevin Coleman

The Atlanta Falcons are playing the San Francisco 49ers.

If you stopped reading there, you’d have enough evidence that both Devonta Freeman and Tevin Coleman are no-brainer starts. Chip Kelly’s defense is the league’s most generous unit to opposing rushers in ESPN half-point-per-reception leagues—and it’s not close.

One common thread in putting on a track meet against the Niners is explosiveness. Bulldozers have had success, but the massive games are coming from rabbit-type runners.

Take LeSean McCoy’s performance in Week 6. Shady turned 19 carries into 140 yards and three touchdowns.

Coleman might not find paydirt thrice, but he seems like a sure bet for 70 total yards and a score. Like McCoy, he’s got a second gear few runners in the league can kick into:

Since returning from a hamstring injury in Week 12, though, Coleman has scored three times without racking up the big-time yardage we saw from him earlier in the year.

Expect that breakout to come in a dream matchup here.

Sans Julio Jones, Coleman is likely to stay busy through the air. Additionally, if the game gets out of hand, Freeman could cede touches to his second-year backfield mate.

               

Sit: Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon

Adrian Peterson might be coming back this week.

He returned to practice on Wednesday and said he hopes to play Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers, per John Shipley of the Pioneer Press. On Friday, though, he said he will play against the Indianapolis Colts:

Adrian Peterson says on Dash Radio. he’ll play on Sunday against the Colts. Vikings would need to make a roster move to activate him.

That means even less certainty for Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata.

Sit both.

Vikings quarterback Sam Bradford has totaled three straight 200-yard games with a touchdown in each of his last two. This week’s matchup with Andrew Luck and the Colts could easily become high-scoring, which would limit the plodding Asiata’s value to goal-line touches.

McKinnon isn’t a terrible play, but he’s cracked double-digit fantasy points in ESPN half-PPR leagues—which …
