Washington23 - Breaking News and Updates

Hopefully you survived the first week of your fantasy playoffs and are moving on this week. If you did and you own either Ray Lewis or Jerod Mayo then make sure to start them this week. They currently rank 5th and 10th in our Week 15 LB Rankings.
It looks like Lewis is finally going to be able to come back this week. He has a primetime game on National TV against a team that allows the 3rd most points per game to LBs. Expect Ray-Ray to come back in a big way just in time to help your playoff team.
Jerod Mayo is also a must start. He is rounding back into form after early season injuries and he now has 16 tackles, three passes defensed and two interceptions in the past two games. Combine this with his matchup against the run-heavy Broncos and he could be in for a nice game.
