Drake shows off his finishing kick

- Tony Holm, FantasySha­rks.com

These players saw their fantasy values increase or decrease most based on their performanc­es in Week 15:

Sizzlers

RB Kenyan Drake, Arizona Cardinals: After rushing for four touchdowns against the Browns, Drake has officially moved into elite RB1 territory. He racked up 146 total yards and pushed David Johnson further into the background.

RB Miles Sanders, Philadelph­ia Eagles: Sanders has thrived with Jordan Howard on the sideline. He scored twice with season highs of 19 carries and 122 yards.

WR Julio Jones, Atlanta Falcons: Targeted an astonishin­g 20 times, Jones had 13 receptions for 134 yards and a pair of TDs, including the game-winner as time expired.

WR Breshad Perriman, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: With Mike Evans and Chris Godwin out with injuries, Perriman racked up 113 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

WR Jamison Crowder, New York Jets: The Jets’ offense is pretty simple: Throw it deep to Robby Anderson and short to Crowder. Against Baltimore, he caught six passes for 90 yards and two scores.

Fizzlers

RB Phillip Lindsay, Denver Broncos: A snowstorm in Kansas City should have fed the Broncos’ running game. Instead, an early deficit rendered Lindsay practicall­y useless.

WR Julian Edelman, New England Patriots: Battling a knee injury, Edelman caught two passes for 9 yards. The Patriots didn’t really need him in a rout of the Bengals but certainly will this weekend against Buffalo.

WR Amari Cooper, Dallas Cowboys: A big day from Ezekiel Elliott drasticall­y cut into the Cowboys’ passing game. Cooper was held to one catch for 19 yards.

WR Robert Woods, Los Angeles Rams: Despite being Jared Goff ’s most targeted receiver (nine), Woods caught just four passes for a paltry 17 yards.

TE Hunter Henry, Los Angeles Chargers: As QB Philip Rivers continues to struggle, Henry (two catches, 29 yards) has seen his production drop.
