FanDuel Quarterback - Week 15 DFS Picks

Tyrod Taylor (vs CLE, $7,600)

I won’t be paying up for a quarterback this week, as there are too many solid options with low price tags. Taylor has found quite a bit of success this season, both through the air and on the ground. He isn’t going to blow you away with his passing stats, but he is always a threat for a rushing touchdown, which gives him good upside. He gets an elite matchup against the Browns, who have the second worst defense in the NFL, while Taylor is extremely cheap this week. He’s best suited for tournaments with Kirk Cousins $100 less expensive, though.

Kirk Cousins (vs CAR, $7,500)

Cousins works his way back into this article once again. He’s a consistent quarterback, who comes with as much upside as anyone on the slate. He has posted a few huge games against tough defenses recently, and he gets a much better matchup against the Panthers this week. Carolina ranks near last in the NFL against the pass, and Cousins should have no problems scoring against them this week. The Redskins are -4 point favorites in a game set at 51 points. Cousins can be used in all leagues.

FanDuel Running Backs - Week 15 DFS Picks

Le’Veon Bell (at CIN, $9,400)

This feels a bit like chasing points, but there’s no real reason to avoid Le’Veon Bell when he isn’t the most expensive player on the slate. He’s coming off a ridiculous game, and while he won’t be able to replicate that performance, he does continue to have an elite combination of consistency and upside. He gets a good matchup against the Bengals, who currently rank 25th in the NFL against the run. Bell is guaranteed enough touches each week to be used in all leagues.

Tevin Coleman (vs SF, $6,500)

Coleman is a bit more expensive than expected, but he’s still an elite tournament option. He doesn’t get a ton of touches each week, but he has been efficient this season. He’s averaging nearly one touchdown per game, and he gets a great matchup against the 49ers, who currently rank last in the NFL against the run. The Falcons are -11.5 point favorites in this game, and they will likely be running the clock out in the second half of the game. That could result in a few more touches for Coleman. He’s a high upside tournament option this week.

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Week 15 DFS Picks

Emmanuel Sanders (vs NE, $6,600) 

Emmanuel Sanders has been a target monster, as he’s averaging 11.8 targets per game on the season. In his last two games with Trevor Siemian, Sanders has 18 receptions for 262 yards and two touchdowns. He gets a decent matchup against the Patriots, who have been an average team against the pass this season. The Broncos will have to score quite a bit to keep up with New England, and Sanders will be a huge part of the gameplan. He can be used in all leagues. 

Julian Edelman (at DEN, $6,400)

Speaking of target monsters, Julian Edelman has seen an increased role in the offense with Rob Gronkowski out. Edelman is averaging 13.8 targets per game over his last four games, which has allowed him to be a consistent option without scoring any touchdowns. Edelman gets a tough matchup against the Broncos, who have been elite against the pass this season, but he’s seeing enough targets per game to be used in all leagues.

FanDuel Tight End - Week 15 DFS Picks

Kyle Rudolph (vs IND, $5,800)

Rudolph has been playing well recently, as he has been featured in the offense the last few weeks. He is averaging 10 targets per game over the last three weeks, and he has turned those into 19 receptions for 169 yards and one touchdown. He’s always a threat in the red zone, and Rudolph gets a great matchup against a weak Colt defense this week. He still isn’t priced all that high, and he can be used in all leagues.

FanDuel Defense - Week 15 DFS Picks

Green Bay Packers D/ST (at CHI, $4,500) 

Green Bay’s defense and special teams have been heating up recently, as they are averaging 12.3 fantasy points per game over the last three weeks. They are slowly getting some key players back, and they get a great matchup against a weak Bears offense tonight. On top of that, the weather isn’t supposed to get higher than two degrees, which could make it difficult for each of their offenses. The Packers are -4 point favorites in a game set at 44 points, and their defense is an elite option for their price this week.
