Daily Fantasy Football Picks and Advice - DraftKings Lineups and Sleepers: Week 15 NFL DFS

Welcome to the Week 15 edition of Daily Fantasy Football DraftKings targets. An introduction is not really all that necessary, as the title of this DFS article pretty much sums up what is going to be discussed.

It's important to identify players with good matchups, but we also want to look at their DraftKings prices so we can hopefully find low-cost / high-production players for your lineups.

I will be providing one top DFS play and one DFS value play at each position for Week 15 NFL DraftKings action. Let's get down to it.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

DraftKings DFS Quarterbacks for Week 15

Aaron Rodgers (at OAK, $7,400)

There are a few solid elite quarterback options this week, but Aaron Rodgers is the best of them all. That sounds odd to say considering he is not performing as well as everyone would like him to be, but he has the most upside with his matchup this week. Tom Brady, Cam Newton, and Carson Palmer are all playing against weak teams, and most of the game will be running out the clock. Rodgers, on the other hand, plays the Oakland Raiders, and the Green Bay Packers have not been looking all that great lately. The Raiders should be able to keep this game close, and that means that Rodgers is going to have the throw the ball the entire game. If anyone thinks that Aaron Rodgers is not able to outscore the three previously mentioned quarterbacks, I'd like to remind you that he is indeed still Aaron Rodgers, and Aaron Rodgers, despite his poor performance of recent, is one of, if not the best quarterbacks in the league.

Matthew Stafford (at NO, $6,100) 

Matthew Stafford is a great mid-priced option this week against the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are one of the worst pass defenses in the league, and Stafford should have no problem picking them apart. When he plays poor pass defenses, he generally excels. For example, a couple of games ago against the Philadelphia Eagles, Stafford threw for over 300 yards and five touchdowns. The Saints are just as bad as the Eagles are in pass coverage. Obviously, it is unlikely that Stafford throws for five touchdowns again, but if he can throw for over 300 yards and three touchdowns, which is definitely a possibility, he will return value rather easily. The Saints' offense is good enough to keep this game close, and it should turn into a very high scoring shootout.

 

DraftKings DFS Running Backs for Week 15

Eddie Lacy (at OAK, $5,200) 

So, Aaron Rodgers is going to be throwing the ball the entire game, but Eddie Lacy is still a good play at the running back position? Yes. After a very poor beginning of the season, Lacy is finally turning his gameplay around. Aside from his atrocious game against the Detroit Lions, Lacy has been rushing well. He has over 100 rushing yards in three of his last four games, and the Oakland Raiders are going to open up some lanes for him. Rodgers is going to throw the ball early and often this week, but at only $5,200, Lacy is entirely too cheap to pass up. He has over five yards per game in one of his last four games and over six yards per carry in another. At that rate, if he touches the ball around 15 times, he will hit value. Use him in 50/50 contests and tournaments.

Jeremy Hill (vs SF, $5,000) 

The cards should fall just right for Hill this week, as he has a number of factors working in his favor. First and foremost is the fact that A.J. McCarron will start at quarterback. The Bengals can't possibly trust him to shoulder the load on offense, even against the hapless 49ers. That likely means they will lean on Hill and Giovani Bernard, with Hill more likely to get goal line touches. That touch total should be particularly high given that the Bengals should be up early as well. Finally, Hill is facing off against the NFL-worst San Francisco run defense--he tore up the similarly inadequate Browns in Week 13, and should have no problem breaking at least 80 yards and a score here. The price is definitely right considering the upside.

 

DraftKings DFS Wide Receivers for Week 15

Sammy Watkins (at WAS, $6,200) 

Sammy Watkins gets no respect from fantasy owners. He is one of the better wide receivers in the league, but everyone seems to consider him as a two or three option at best. I am not one of those people. This week, he faces off against the Washington Redskins, and the Redskins are not good against the pass attack. Watkins has been very solid of recent, scoring on average around 25 fantasy points per game over his last three games. His floor seems to be around 20 right now, and this ceiling is limitless. He has four touchdowns in his last three games, and he only missed 100 receiving yards in one of those three games. He is really heating up, and he should continue to excel this week against the weak Washington secondary.

Michael Floyd (at PHI, $4,400)

Larry Fitzgerald is questionable this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. If he sits out, Michael Floyd should see an extended role in the offense. However, Fitzgerald can play and Floyd still makes for a great option against the Eagles. The Eagles are one of the worst pass defenses in the league, as previously seen in the Matthew Stafford section, and Floyd should be able to tear them up. Floyd has over 20 fantasy points in three of his last four games, and he has over 30 in one of them. His price tag does not reflect his recent success. Instead, he is priced like a tournament only, high upside option. Floyd is definitely a high upside option, but he can also be used in 50/50 contests, as he is very consistent for the most part. He is one of my favorite options on the board in any game this week.

 

DraftKings DFS Tight Ends for Week 15

Rob Gronkowski (vs TEN, $7,700) 

Rob Gronkowski returned to action last week against the Houston Texans, which is extremely impressive, but he only played in 43 of the Patriots 69 offensive snaps. In the second half of the game, he played almost all of the snaps, so this week, he should be playing a lot more. Against the Texans, he caught all four of his targets for almost 100 yards and a touchdown. He should be back to his normal 100 plus yards and a touchdown every game self this week against the Tennessee Titans. He is extremely safe, but he also has huge upside, as Brady will rely on him heavily if the Patriots get into trouble.

Heath Miller (vs DEN, $3,700)

Heath Miller returned last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, and he caught 10 balls for over 60 yards. His price tag is still extremely low, and Ben Roethlisberger loves to throw him the ball. The Denver Broncos do have a great defense, especially against the pass, but they tend to struggle against the tight end. If all of Big Ben's wide receiver options are tightly covered, guess who he is going to throw the ball to. That's right, Heath Miller. Miller could catch 10 plus balls again this week, and if he finds the end zone, he will crush value on his sub-$4,000 price tag.
