Week 15 marks the start of the fantasy football playoffs, and unfortunately, the slate kicks off with a mediocre matchup between the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders. However, there could be some sneaky fantasy production in this AFC West bout.
Hunter Renfrow, Jalen Guyton, and Donald Parham Jr. (Update: Donald Parham Jr. has been ruled out) could all see enhanced roles in Week 15, meaning all three pass-catchers are higher in the rankings than usual. In this article, we'll dive into their fantasy football outlooks.
Should you start Renfrow, Guyton, or Parham in Week 15? Let's get into it.

Should I Start Hunter Renfrow for Fantasy Football?
Hunter Renfrow is just two years removed from a 1,000-yard season. Since then, he's rarely been on the fantasy radar. However, All-Pro wideout Davante Adams (illness) is questionable to face the Chargers on Thursday night. If Adams is out, Renfrow could be utilized as a desperation flex play in deep leagues. He'd have a low floor due to the Raiders' offensive struggles, but he would have a path to double-digit PPR points.
That said, Adams is currently trending toward playing. If he's active, Renfrow should be avoided altogether.
Should I Start Jalen Guyton for Fantasy Football?
Jalen Guyton hasn't been a great fantasy option since returning from injured reserve a few weeks ago, but he could see extra targets in Week 15. Keenan Allen (heel) has been ruled out, meaning Guyton will compete for targets with Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston.
Ultimately, all three Chargers receivers are risky and should be avoided if possible since Easton Stick is starting in place of the injured Justin Herbert (finger).
Should I Start Donald Parham Jr. for Fantasy Football?
UPDATE: Donald Parham Jr. has been ruled OUT
Donald Parham is questionable to play due to a shoulder injury. However, even if he does suit up, he'll face the same problem as Johnston, Palmer, and Guyton. It's tough to trust any Chargers player in this contest except for Austin Ekeler, and even he has struggled at times this season.
Gerald Everett is healthy, meaning Parham is a mere touchdown-or-bust fantasy option if he suits up in Week 15.
