Elijah McGuire, RB, New York Jets

Elijah McGuire was the clear leader in the New York Jets' backfield in Week 15. He played 56 snaps while Trenton Cannon was in on just 23 plays. McGuire finished with 18 carries for 42 yards and 3 receptions for 29 yards.

With Isaiah Crowell done for the year, McGuire is in line to see good volume in Week 16, and it comes in a pretty nice matchup with the Packers. Green Bay came into Week 15 ranked fifth-worst against the run, per our schedule-adjusted metrics.

The Jets' offense is one of the worst in the league, but any running back in line for roughly 20 touches is a tough player to sit in fantasy unless you're pretty well set at the running back position.
