Fantasy Football Storylines to Watch in Week 15: Late-round and waiver-wire RBs prove themselves yet again

One of my favorite hobbies, outside of writing about football, is running.

The last five seconds are my favorite. You can almost feel Lamar Jackson’s eagerness to get back out on the field. But vibes aren’t the only reason why he’s still in the MVP race.
