Week 15 Wide Receiver Rankings Outlooks

Jerry Jeudy, Cleveland Browns

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has proven he can have massive games in the past, and the former first-round pick had one of his best games of the season in Week 14 against the Titans. He only had three catches but racked up 76 yards and a long touchdown from Shedeur Sanders, who looked like a solid QB for the rest of the year.

Sanders throws the deep ball well, and if he connects more often with Jeudy, the receiver could be a nice add for the fantasy football playoffs. Jeudy has shown a very high ceiling, and he may now have a QB who can connect with him to make big plays. His season-long numbers are still not very impressive, but he and Sanders are trending up coming into their matchup this week with the Bears, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season.

A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown hauled in six of his 13 targets for 100 yards in Monday night's overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Brown has now posted four straight games with double-digit targets and has topped 100 yards in three consecutive outings after having only one double-digit target game and two 100-yard performances over his first nine games. The star wideout could have had an even bigger day, but he just narrowly missed on a few deep throws from quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Brown did, however, drop a pass that led to one of four interceptions for Hurts on the night. The Eagles' WR1 still looks like his dominant self when he's targeted, even with the Eagles' collective struggles on offense. He'll continue to profile as a high-end fantasy option in Week 15 in a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

John Metchie III, New York Jets

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is getting an increased look in this offense down the stretch of the season. Over the last three games, Metchie has seen seven or more targets in each contest. The 25-year-old has also played 82 percent or more of the offensive snaps in four straight games since being acquired via trade. The Jets are without Garrett Wilson (knee), potentially for the rest of the year, and someone has to catch passes for Gang Green.

Metchie is seeing a ton of the field, although he's still inconsistent for fantasy purposes in a Jets offense that could be forced to start Brady Cook. He has been held under 35 receiving yards in each of his last two games. The Jets haven't been afraid to target him in the passing game, which should count for something. Metchie could be a possible waiver-wire addition as a boom-or-bust option for Week 15 in a matchup against the first-place Jacksonville Jaguars.

Pat Bryant, Denver Broncos

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant has been able to put himself on the fantasy radar over the last few weeks with increased involvement in the passing game. Bryant was a non-factor in fantasy football leagues until his five-catch performance in Week 11. After that, Bryant has finished with seven receptions for 74 yards over his last two games.

The rookie wideout has been the second-best wideout lately behind Courtland Sutton. His recent performances should be enough to put Bryant on the fantasy radar as a WR4/flex option in Week 15 when the Broncos host the Green Bay Packers. Both Sutton and Troy Franklin figure to be involved as well, but Bryant has done enough to earn consideration off the waiver wire for WR depth going into the fantasy playoffs.
