NFL
Fantasy Football: 7 Players to Avoid in Week 15
Which players are most likely to fall short of expectations in Week 15?

Isaiah Crowell, RB, Cleveland Browns

A week after a massive 20-carry, 145-yard, 2-touchdown game against the 49ers, Isaiah Crowell will likely be in many fantasy lineups, as fantasy owners chase points or think they are being clever or contrarian as he faces a stout Seahawks defense in Seattle.

Even accounting for his 6.31 Rushing NEP in Week 14, Crowell is still one of the least efficient backs in the NFL, ranking 31st of 40 running backs with at least 100 carries in Rushing NEP and 33rd in Rushing NEP per play.

Over their last four games, the Seahawks have locked down against the run, with their -0.17 Adjusted Rush NEP per play ranking second-best in the league over that span. With Seattle likely to blow out a lowly Cleveland squad, Crowell is unlikely to carve out enough carries to find volume-based fantasy worthiness.

Our 24th-ranked running back, Crowell is projected for 35.72 rushing yards and 0.19 rushing touchdowns.
