Sporting News' Vinnie Iyer and NFL.com's Michelle Magdziuk take a deep dive into their running back and quarterback rankings to settle on the best and worst plays of Week 15 based on the matchups and trust in the players. At running back, the Lions' dynamic duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery have the best matchup of the week at home, while the Dolphins, Jets, Bills and Patriots all have favorable spots to keep producing with Raheem Mostert, De'Von Achane, Breece Hall, James Cook and Ezekiel Elliott. At QB, red-hot Matthew Stafford draws the Commanders while Tua Tagovailoa vs. the Jets and Justin Fields vs. the Browns are less inspiring.

SportingNews.com's Vinnie Iyer goes through all 16 teams in the AFC and finds the worst fantasy football draft values and players to avoid at current cost in 2026 leagues. Vinnie starts in the East, where there is reason to not take Drake Maye among the top 3 quarterbacks overall and running backs De'Von Achane and Breece Hall have some red flags based on the uncertainty and lack of reliable offense from their teams. In the North, Michael Pittman Jr. is a better value than DK Metcalf, while Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert are stuck in bad spots near the end of the top 10 of quarterback rankings.
