With unrest at head coach and quarterback, the Redskins seem like an easy target for the Falcons in Week 15 after looking completely disinterested in a 45-10 loss against the Chiefs last week. That's good news for Falcons backup running back Jacquizz Rodgers, who has been minimally involved since starter Steven Jackson returned from a hamstring injury in Week 8.
Rodgers' 10 touches -- seven carries and three catches -- last week were his most in five games, so it's clear the Falcons haven't forgotten about him. With all the turmoil in Washington, the Redskins figure to be susceptible to blowouts from now until the end of the season, and though the Falcons aren't as likely to capitalize as the Chiefs were, the switch from Robert Griffin III to Kirk Cousins at quarterback only helps their cause.
If the game gets out of hand, Rodgers could get more work late against the team that has allowed the second-most Fantasy points to running backs. It's not a likely enough possibility for you to start him in a standard 12-team league, but in a 16-team points-per-reception league, he's worth a longer look this week.
