Flex Rankings: NFL Fantasy Week 15

It's always tough to get a handle on New England's running back situation, but injuries could lead to a bigger role for someone.

The fantasy Week 15 flex rankings try to help answer a question that has plagued our society for eons: What do you do with New England running backs?

Well for this week, we know that Damien Harris (thigh) is out, a decision that was announced Saturday morning. (At least it wasn't right before kickoff!) Rhamondre Stevenson could be back but he's still dealing with an ankle injury. And don't forget about Kevin Harris, who looked good on Monday night, or fellow rookie Pierre Strong Jr. There's no shortage of options, which usually leads to fantasy headaches for everyone except Bill Belichick. Sigh...

But the good news is that whoever gets the carries will be going up against a Raiders defense that is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to running backs this season. So you can either roll the dice on Stevenson, or Harris, or if you really want to get creative, Strong, or you can avoid the New England backfield like a day-old tuna sandwich. But if you want to see what other tasty morsels I like more than the ECR, see below.
