Player Rankings for Week 15

The positional rankings are for Arena fantasy football fans who want that extra edge in setting their weekly lineups.

A fantasy player's most recent performances are taken into account, as well as upcoming opponent, injury status and the focus of that player's offense.

John Dutton Mark Grieb Clint Dolezel Chris Sanders Matt Nagy Shane Stafford Andy Kelly Nick Browder Sherdrick Bonner Sonny Cumbie Joe Hamilton Craig Whelihan Matt D'Orazio Michael Bishop Clint Stoerner John Kaleo Cornell Maynor

What will Clint Dolezel's motivation be like in the coming weeks? Well, with 92 passing TDs and a chance at 100 for the season, we figure he won't slow down any and still makes a fine play. John Dutton and Mark Grieb should both produce about 8 TDs each in a big Western Division shootout. Matt Nagy travels well and faces the New York Dragons, who don't stop many people. Conversely, that's good news for Nick Browder, who will have to keep up with Nagy for the Dragons to win. Shane Stafford will come out gunning, but faces a tough task against the Destroyers on the road. Sherdrick Bonner makes a sneaky play against the fading Gladiators.

Damien Harrell Chris Jackson Ben Nelson Siaha Burley Terrill Shaw Jimmy Fryzel Bobby Sippio Damien Groce Marcus Nash Kevin Swayne Freddie Solomon Tony Locke Derrick Lewis Anthony Hines TT Toliver Steve Smith

Damien Harrell needs one more TD to break the single season total TD record (he broke the receiving TD record last week) and will get that and more against San Jose. Ben Nelson will be on the receiving end of 100 yards and multiple TDs in that same game. Chris Jackson and Siaha Burley will both produce nice stats, but we like Jimmy Fryzel as a sleeper pick, as Orlando travels to meet Kansas City with a first round bye in sight for the Preds. Bobby Sippio suffered with the Chicago QB woes and we'd steer clear until that key position is settled for the Rush. Kevin Swayne broke out last week, but will have tougher sledding against the strong Force defense.

James Roe Kevin Ingram Mike Horacek Randy Gatewood Will Pettis Derek Lee Javarus Dudley Aaron Boone Lawrence Samuels Etu Molden Kevin Nickerson Timon Marshall Andy McCullough Willis Marshall Jerrian James Sean Scott David Saunders Mike Brown James Jordan Greg Hopkins Dialleo Burks Orshwante Bryant

James Roe will garner some extra attention versus Colorado, but with Ben Nelson keeping people honest, Roe should find himself 100 yards and a few TDs. Expect Randy Gatewood to get back to his multiple scoring ways against the Gladiators. Will Pettis may be rested some next week, but for this week he's a good play against the Soul. Derrick Lee finally showed some life last week, and in a big way, but will take a back seat to Chris Jackson against the Dragons. Javarus Dudley has produced excellent stats throughout the season. Don't hesitate to play him against the Brigade this weekend as his defensive prowess makes him all the more valuable. Etu Molden is healthy, but the Chicago QB situation is a mess and is hurting all the receiver stats.

Dane Krager Dan Alexander Lonnie Ford Marlion Jackson Phil Glover Brian Johnson Robert Thomas Harold Wells Duke Pettijohn Wes Ours Frank Carter Chad Dukes Bob McMillen Rodney Filer Bo Kelly Chris Avery

Phil Glover and Brian Johnson teamed for 5 TDs on the ground last week, but don't expect the same from the Sabercats against Colorado. Lonnie Ford scored again, continuing his late season excellence. Dan Alexander ran well and scored. He'll get some chances against the swiss-cheese Avengers ground D. Marlion Jackson can do so many things well, but staying healthy is not his strong suit. Still, expect a score or two from him as Las Vegas tries to slow down the Rattlers. Robert Thomas is listed as Questionable due to illness. Look elsewhere for a replacement for big #44.

Rashad Floyd Chris Brown Eddie Moten Jermaine Jones Damon Mason Nate Coggins Jeremy Unertl Clevan Thomas Hamin Milligan Jonathan Ordway TJ Hill Jerald Brown Kahlil Carter Brandon Hefflin DeShane Dennis Thal Woods Bobby Perry Clarence Lawson Johnnie Harris Donvetis Franklin Delvin Hughley Monty Montgomery Mark Ricks Kevin Moffett

Rashad Floyd's interception return for a TD last week turned the tide of more than a few fantasy games. Floyd is the surest tackler in the league and has 10 INTs on the year. Chris Brown and Eddie Moten are excellent bets to get into double figure scoring again. DeShane Dennis of the Dragons may not get alot of attention, but he's a fine tackler and gets some chances on offense as well. Monty Montgomery will miss another game, and if you need a replacement look at Thal Woods from Utah. Donvetis Franklin has been playing better lately, so give him a shot if you're out of other options. If Nate Coggins slipped off someone's roster due to the injury, snap him up now.

Remy Hamilton Carlos Martinez Mark Lewis Peter Martinez Bill Gramatica Jay Taylor Todd Sievers Brian Schmitz Gary Kral Steve Videtich Clay Rush

Not much to report on the kicker side. I don't expect much to change from week to week in this part of the rankings. Remy Hamilton is the best and should see plenty of points against Nashville, especially if the Avengers stall. Jay Taylor has been having a good season and should score plenty versus the Brigade. Mark Lewis hit 4 big FGs last week, leading many savvy fantasy owners to a crucial win. Carlos Martinez, Peter Martinez and Bill Gramatica can all be played with confidence.
