Welcome to Week 15 of the NFL season, and hopefully, the fantasy football playoffs. Each week we will be providing streamer advice for all of those who need it, which is pretty much anyone and everyone. Streaming players with the best matchups each week as well as during your stud's bye weeks is an integral part of winning a fantasy championship and we are here to provide the best choices week in and week out.
Each week in this article, we will break down streamers for both shallower leagues of 8-10 teams (around 50% rostered or less) and deeper leagues of 14 or more teams (around 30% rostered or less). We will provide a specific roster in each type of league, which will include a QB, RB, WR, TE, and Flex. It should also be noted that if you play in a deep league, but a shallow-league player mentioned here is available in your league, feel free to stream them as
Without further adieu, here are this week's top streaming candidates.
Editor's Note: Our incredible team of writers won two writing awards and received 12 award nominations by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association.

Stream Team for Shallow Leagues (<50% Rostered)
- QB: Philip Rivers, Indianapolis Colts
- RB: Zack Moss, Buffalo Bills
- WR: Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts
- TE: Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams
- Flex: Keke Coutee, Houston Texans
Philip Rivers, Indianapolis Colts
42% Rostered
Rivers had a solid game just two weeks ago vs. this Texans Defense when he threw for 285 yards and two scores. This should come as no surprise seeing as the Texans have allowed the fifth-most passing yards per game over the previous four weeks with 282.5 yards allowed. He should be able to have another solid day in this one as well.
Zack Moss, Buffalo Bills
52% Rostered
Zack Moss saw 13 carries last week and could be in line for a similar role this week vs. the Broncos, which presents a solid matchup. Denver has given up an average of 92 rushing yards to backs over the previous four weeks. Aside from this, they are also allowing an average of over 4.7 yards per carry, which means a bigger workload for Moss could pay solid dividends in this one.
Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts
51% Rostered
Pittman has had some down games since emerging vs. the Tennessee Titans in Week 10, but he gets a solid matchup vs. the Texans this week. While two weeks ago Pittman only managed to put up nine points in a PPR, I think he will have a better day in this one. T.Y. Hilton absolutely torched the Texans in that game and is likely to draw a bit more attention from the Texans' secondary, which should leave Pittman open a bit more. He is still averaging over six targets per game in the Colts' previous three contests, so the volume for a solid day is still there as well.
Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams
49% Rostered
Higbee has seen eight targets in the previous two games and gets one of the best matchups for any tight end this Sunday. He will be facing off against the Jets who are allowing the most fantasy points to tight ends over the previous four weeks with over 21 fantasy points allowed per game. In total over the previous four weeks, the Jets have allowed 28 receptions for 368 yards and a whopping six touchdowns. Get Higbee in your lineups.
Keke Coutee, Houston Texans
43% Rostered
I hate to use the same players in multiple weeks, but Coutee will be facing the same Colts Defense he caught eight balls for 143 yards against just two weeks ago. Aside from his production in that game, the Colts are also allowing the second-most yards to wideouts over the previous four weeks by allowing 833 receiving yards.
Stream Team for Deep Leagues (<30% Rostered)
- QB: Drew Lock, Denver Broncos
- RB: Gus Edwards, Baltimore Ravens
- WR: Tim Patrick, Denver Broncos
- TE: Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears
- Flex: Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Green Bay Packers
Drew Lock, Denver Broncos
12% Rostered
This could be a bit of a gamble, but I like the spot Lock is in at home this week. He has thrown six touchdown passes in his previous two games and will be going up against a Bills Defense that is giving up an average of two touchdown passes per game over the previous four weeks. The Bills are also allowing over 261 passing yards per game across that same span, which ranks ninth-worst in the league. Add in the fact that the Broncos are 6.5 point underdogs, and you could have some adding opportunities for Lock.
Gus Edwards, Baltimore Ravens
38% Rostered
Edwards worked as a solid stream last week, and if he is still available in your league, could also work out this week. The Jaguars are allowing running backs to average 167 rushing yards per game over the previous four weeks, which is ranked last in the league. While Edwards has only played on 34 snaps over the previous two weeks, he has made them count by scoring double-digit fantasy points in each contest. With the Ravens expected to run away with this game as the 13.5 point spread suggests, Edwards could see plenty of work late in the game.
Tim Patrick, Denver Broncos
30% Rostered
I am going back to the Patrick well this week after he posted a solid game last week and gets another nice matchup this week vs. the Bills. The Bills are allowing wide receivers to average nearly 33 fantasy points per game over the previous four weeks, which ranks 11th-worst in the league over that span. They are allowing an average of over 14 receptions per game and have also given up four receiving touchdowns across that span.
Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears
8% Rostered
Kmet has become a favorite target of Mitchell Trubisky as he has seen 14 targets across the previous two games. He will be facing the Vikings who are allowing tight ends nearly five receptions per game and close to 10 fantasy points per game over the previous four weeks. While the production allowed by the Vikings does not jump off the page, it is ranked in the middle of the pack and the volume Kmet has seen recently cannot be ignored.
Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Green Bay Packers
22% Rostered
MVS has seen 20 targets in his last four games played and has turned those into mostly solid performances as he has nearly 300 receiving yards and two scores across that span. He'll be going up against a Panthers' secondary that is allowing the fourth-most fantasy points to wideouts over the previous four weeks by allowing over 36 points per game.
