Week 15 Superflex Rankings for Fantasy Football: Derek Carr, Nick Mullens, Joe Flacco, Ezekiel Elliott, Puka Nacua, Rashee Rice

December 16, 2023

Week 15 fantasy football superflex rankings (2QB). Set winning lineups with our Week 15 superflex rankings for two-QB leagues.

Hey, RotoBallers! The fantasy football playoffs have arrived, and we have three games scheduled for Saturday. Injuries continue to change the quarterback landscape. Houston Texans rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Titans. Case Keenum is expected to start on Sunday for the injured Stroud. For fantasy managers searching for a replacement for Stroud in 2QB leagues, we've got you covered with our Week 15 fantasy football Superflex rankings (2QB) for fantasy football. For those unfamiliar with superflex leagues, it's a format that allows you to start two quarterbacks but does not require you. 

There are no more bye weeks to deal with, but managers must set their lineups earlier, with the Vikings, Bengals, Steelers, Colts, Broncos, and Lions playing on Saturday. On top of injuries, there are teams switching quarterbacks, which managers must be aware of. The Vikings have replaced the struggling Joshua Dobbs with Nick Mullens. The 28-year-old will start Saturday's game against the Bengals. Here's where Mullens and other superflex options such as Matthew Stafford, Nick Mullens, Joe Flacco, Case Keenum, Ezekiel Elliott, Puka Nacua, and Jake Browning rank this week.

Our fantasy football superflex rankings for Week 15 are put together by FSWA Hall Of Famer Scott Engel. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.

Week 15 Superflex Rankings Analysis

A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks or the latest injury news for key options in Week 14, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether to start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.

Nick Mullens, QB, Minnesota Vikings
Week 15 Superflex Rankings: 90

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Nick Mullens will take over as the starter in Week 15 as Joshua Dobbs heads to the bench for the Vikings. Mullens came into the game in relief of Dobbs in Week 14 as he threw for 83 yards, as the Vikings offense failed to score a touchdown en route to a 3-0 win over the Raiders.

Mullens has some appeal in a matchup against the Bengals defense, who have given up the sixth-most passing yards this season, as the former 49er has the supporting cast to be successful in this one. He should have Justin Jefferson, T.J. Hockenson, and Jordan Addison at his disposal, but fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited. Mullens is a QB2 option at best this week.

Will Levis, QB, Tennessee Titans
Week 15 Superflex Rankings: 48

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (ankle) was a full practice participant on Thursday. Levis popped up as a limited participant for Wednesday's session due to an ankle injury, but his return to full activity puts him confidently on track to play in Week 15 against the division-rival Houston Texans. The first-year signal-caller helped orchestrate Monday night's improbable 28-27 triumph over the Miami Dolphins, throwing for a career-high 327 yards in the win.

Look for Levis to enter play without an injury designation when those become available on Friday. Against a Texans team that was just torched by Zach Wilson and now allowing the sixth-most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs this year, Levis is an adequate streaming option in two-QB/superflex formats on Sunday.

Sam Howell, QB, Washington Commanders
Week 15 Superflex Rankings: 13

Although Washington Commanders quarterback Sam Howell hasn't been great in a traditional sense, he's been a strong fantasy contributor for most of the season. Now, in Week 15, he'll have a chance to continue his fantasy success against the Los Angeles Rams. This year, the Rams have been on the lower end in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks.

That should spell good things for Howell, as the Commanders will likely pass a lot to keep up with the threatening Rams offense. While he's not the most stable option, the second-year quarterback should suffice in Week 15, especially with the numerous quarterback injuries plaguing rosters lately. Consider him a low-end QB1.

Zack Moss, RB, Indianapolis Colts
Week 15 Superflex Rankings: 89

Indianapolis Colts running back Zack Moss was inefficient in the team's Week 14 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Moss ran the ball 13 times for 28 yards on the ground and added another 28 through the air. With running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) ruled out for the team's Week 15 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Moss will again be in line for another large opportunity share.

Pittsburgh's defense has struggled against the run lately, allowing the sixth-most points to opposing fantasy running backs in their last two games. Fantasy managers can look for Moss to bounce back from his poor Week 14 outing and play him as an RB2 option this week.

Rashee Rice, WR, Kansas City Chiefs
Week 15 Superflex Rankings: 51

The Kansas City Chiefs may have finally taken the training wheels off wide receiver Rashee Rice in Week 14, unleashing the rookie for career highs in snap share (84.8%) and route rate (81.8%). Rice returned the favor with a 7/72/1 receiving line on 10 targets. K.C. hardly has much choice in the matter -- despite Rice's six drops -- as Rice has flashed enough signs of brilliance via the third-most yards after catch (467) and sixth-most fantasy points per route run (0.59) that no other Chiefs wideout has even come close to sniffing this year.

The only aspect missing from the 23-year-old's coming-out party was a deep target, as Rice has only drawn two downfield passes all year. While that curbs Rice's fantasy upside, he's making up for the lack of splash plays with the seventh-most red-zone targets (17) among WRs. With the chains finally appearing to be loosened, Rice is a confident PPR WR2 for Week 15 against the New England Patriots.
