Fantasy Playoffs: Five Easiest Schedules for Running Backs

You've made it to Week 15, which means you're in the fantasy football playoffs! Congratulations on a strong season!

When looking at the schedule ahead, a few running backs stand out not only because of talent but also because they have very favorable matchups. If you have many options at running back, be sure you do not cut any of these players! A few players listed below may even be available on the waiver wire.

Fantasy Playoffs Easiest Strength of Schedule
Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends

Fantasy Playoffs Toughest Strength of Schedule
Quarterbacks | Running Backs | Wide Receivers | Tight Ends

Here are five players you should look forward to for Weeks 15-17, according to their playoff schedule. Here's hoping you have more than one!

Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans
Opponents: LAC, HOU, DAL

All hail the King! Henry should have no trouble with the Chargers, who are allowing a league-worst 5.52 yards per carry this year, and he already burned the Texans for 219 yards and two touchdowns in Week 8. Dallas has been a good overall defense all year, but they have been susceptible vs. the run, allowing the tenth-most rushing yards this year to opposing running backs.
