Week 15 Fantasy Football FLEX Outlooks and Rankings Analysis

A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks 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.

Clyde Edwards-Helaire, RB, Kansas City Chiefs
Week 15 FLEX PPR Rank: 92

Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire mostly failed to capitalize on a golden opportunity in his Week 14 return as the team's lead back with Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) out. Other than a 20-yard catch, the 24-year-old former first-round pick wasn't impressive in plodding his way to 39 ground yards on 11 carries. There's good news for fantasy managers; Edwards-Helaire easily set new a season best with a 48.5% snap share and matched a season high with 12 routes run.

Jerick McKinnon crossed the end zone last Sunday, but his overall opportunity hardly expanded. CEH should handle a similar role in Week 15 against the New England Patriots, with Pacheco still out and the Chiefs checking in as considerable favorites. While not the most appealing RB2 of the bunch, CEH remains a volume-driven plug-and-play option against a Pats squad bottling up opposing RBs for the fewest yards per carry (3.2) in the NFL.

Amari Cooper, WR, Cleveland Browns
Week 15 FLEX PPR Rank: 41

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Amari Cooper is coming off a seven-catch, 77-yard outing in a Week 14 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cooper had been struggling in his three previous games before last week, but the insertion of Joe Flacco into the team's starting lineup should be good for his fantasy production moving forward.

Cooper will now face off against the Chicago Bears at home in Week 15. Chicago has been decent against receivers in 2023, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Cooper can be utilized as a low-end WR2 heading into the first round of the fantasy playoffs in Week 15.

Puka Nacua, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Week 15 FLEX PPR Rank: 21

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua is the overall WR10 through the first 14 weeks of the season. The rookie phenom immediately connected with veteran quarterback Matthew Stafford, and the two have not lost a step since. Nacua has over a 30% target share with Stafford, as he is drawing in almost 10 targets per game.

While fellow wide receiver Cooper Kupp has picked it up as of late, Nacua has been the most consistent receiving option for the team this season. As usual, treat the 22-year-old as a low-end WR1 with a high floor against the Washington Commanders in Week 15.

Tyler Lockett, WR, Seattle Seahawks
Week 15 FLEX PPR Rank: 59

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett caught all six of his targets for 89 yards in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, making it his most productive game since Week 10. On Monday night, Lockett will benefit from facing one of the league's softest secondaries when Seattle takes on the Philadelphia Eagles, who will be without cornerback Darius Slay (knee) while he recuperates after undergoing arthroscopic surgery.

The Seahawks will likely run a pass-heavy offense to keep things close, making Lockett's outlook even rosier. Seattle's starting quarterback is yet to be determined, but considering his performance with Drew Lock under center last week, Lockett can still provide a safe floor as a high-end WR3 in Week 15.

Keaton Mitchell, RB, Baltimore Ravens
Week 15 FLEX PPR Rank: 70

Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is becoming the lead back in a crowded backfield after he saw the bulk of the work in Week 14. Despite that, he remains a boom-or-bust type of fantasy player, so he'll be a risky start every time. Combine that with the fact that Lamar Jackson takes plenty of the carries himself, and the waters get even murkier.

His opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, is right around the middle of the pack against the run, so his fantasy relevance will likely come down to the game script. They have allowed an average of 23.6 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields. Start him at your own risk, but Mitchell does have some flex appeal in this contest.
