Saquon Barkley Faces a Weak Raiders Run Defense in Week 15

Saturday, December 13, 12:30 PM

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley broke free for a 52-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter of last week's game against the Chargers, finally snapping his four-game scoreless streak. This play also boosted him to his second-highest rushing yards count in a game this season with 122, his second time surpassing 100 yards on the ground. He'll try to carry this momentum into Week 15's matchup with the Raiders, who allow the ninth-most fantasy points to RBs in the league. Las Vegas is also tied for the second-most rushing touchdowns given up this year, letting up 18 scores to runners over 13 games. While he has left some to be desired in the passing game lately, Barkley is primed to find the end zone this weekend, which should make up for any lack of catches. Consider him a low-end RB1.

Cedric Tillman Active Versus Bears in Week 15

Sunday, December 14, 11:55 AM

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, ribs) is officially active on Sunday to face the hosting Chicago Bears in Week 15. Tillman managed to clear the league's concussion protocol despite not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday. The 25-year-old is also battling through a rib injury as well and might not be 100% for this weekend's game in the Windy City. Tillman could have a bigger role in Cleveland's passing attack with tight end David Njoku (knee) out, but he's still a pretty hard receiver to trust as a WR4/flex in starting fantasy lineups, even in deeper leagues. In the three games that rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has started, Tillman has only two catches for 28 yards. Tillman scored in the first two weeks of the season but hasn't found the end zone since, and he only has 18 receptions on the year for 197 yards on 35 targets.
