Travis Etienne Jr. Projects As A Low-End RB1 In Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. heads into a matchup with the Baltimore Ravens in Week 15. The young running back has been dealing with a nagging rib injury but does not carry an injury designation heading into the weekend for the first time in three weeks. Etienne has been one of the bigger […]

Jerry Jeudy Still A Shaky Flex Play In Favorable Matchup

It's now or never for Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy. The 24-year-old former first-rounder has had a dud of a season to this point with 42 receptions on 63 targets for 507 yards and only one touchdown in 12 games. He's also coming off a two-catch, 16-yard performance in the Week 14 win over […]

Diontae Johnson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Johnson continues to lead the way for the Steelers receiving corps, boasting a 26.2% team target share since his return from an injury in Week 7. Trouble is, those targets have been coming from Mitchell Trubisky in recent weeks. Even with Trubisky pulling the […]

Courtland Sutton An Absolute Must-Start Against Lions

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton should be locked into all starting fantasy lineups as a WR2 in Week 15 for the Saturday night game against the Detroit Lions. Sutton is tied for second among all wideouts with 10 touchdowns in 13 games this year, which has obviously made him extremely valuable in fantasy in […]

Samaje Perine Good To Go For Week 15

Denver Broncos running back Samaje Perine (knee) was on the Week 15 injury report but has since been cleared and will play on Saturday evening against the Detroit Lions. Outside of maybe the deepest PPR setups, Perine is probably worth avoiding, especially against a Lions team that has allowed only 48 receptions on the year […]

Durham Smythe Still Not Worth A Start In Week 15

Miami Dolphins tight end Durham Smythe hasn't been fantasy-relevant all season and even if Tyreek Hill (ankle) doesn't play in Week 15, that will not change much. Smythe has 20 receptions for 194 yards on the year and has posted four separate weeks with no catches and no fantasy points. The New York Jets are […]

Najee Harris - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks (2023)

BALLER MOVE: Start in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB3 with a safe floor ANALYSIS: RB Najee Harris and the Pittsburgh Steelers offense have struggled to get going for a large part of the 2023 season. In the team’s Week 14 loss to the New England Patriots, Harris saw a total of 15 touches which […]

Javonte Williams Facing Tough Matchup In Week 15

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams is coming off one of his best performances of the year in the Week 14 win over the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, gaining 66 rushing yards and his first rushing touchdown of the year on 17 carries while adding 25 receiving yards on three receptions. On volume alone as […]

Jason Sanders A Streaming Option In Week 15

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders missed one of his three field goal attempts in Week 14 while making all three extra-point attempts. If he could knock through his 40-yarder, he would have finished with a fourth consecutive double-digit fantasy performance. Against the New York Jets in Week 15, the offense is likely to stall if […]

Russell Wilson Has QB1 Streaming Appeal Against Detroit

Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson came just shy of the 20-point fantasy mark in the Week 14 win over the Los Angeles Chargers but has still reached 20 fantasy points in four of his last six games. He'll have a great chance to cash in as a QB1 streamer again in Week 15 as the […]

Trevor Lawrence Has Tempered Expectations Vs. Ravens

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence heads into a tough Sunday Night Football showdown with the Baltimore Ravens this weekend. The young QB played through a high-ankle sprain suffered late in the game against Cincy in Week 13 and threw for three touchdowns, albeit on three interceptions vs Cleveland last Sunday. With a full practice logged […]

Tee Higgins - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Don't start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end Flex ANALYSIS: The Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has caught just five catches since returning from injury in Week 13. Higgins hauled in two of his four targets for 72 yards in the Week 15 win over the Indianapolis Colts and the wideout […]

The Dolphins Defense A Top Option Again In Week 15

The Miami Dolphins defense/special teams is now the fifth-best unit in fantasy this season after salvaging a solid performance against the Titans in Week 14. They allowed 28 points, but they collected one sack, two fumble recoveries, an interception, and a touchdown. Even in games where they have given up a lot of points, they […]

Daniel Bellinger’s Usage Could Take a Hit In Week 15

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger has been a mainstay in the starting lineup with Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve. The second-year tight end caught 12 passes for 138 yards in five games without New York's prized offseason addition. Waller is expected to make his return to the starting lineup on Sunday. If […]

Justin Jefferson - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start In All Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: High-End WR2 ANALYSIS: Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is one of the NFL's best wide receivers, but his 2023 campaign has been marked by injury. Jefferson missed seven games because of a hamstring injury before returning to the field last week against the Raiders, but Jefferson […]

Jeff Wilson Jr. Could Have Flex Potential In Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Jeff Wilson Jr. didn't see a single touch in Week 14 with the rest of the backfield healthy. His fantasy relevance is heavily dependent on whether or not De'Von Achane (toe) plays in Week 15. Achane remains questionable through the usual Friday injury report, so Wilson does have a shot at […]

Darius Slayton Not On Fantasy Radars Against New Orleans

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton continues to play the majority of the snaps as an outside receiver in this New York offense but is not a favorite target for quarterback Tommy Devito. The veteran hasn't secured more than three catches in three of the last four games. DeVito doesn't put the ball in […]

Jaylen Waddle A Solid WR2 In Week 15

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle put up a respectable performance in PPR formats against the Tennessee Titans in Week 14. He was briefly the WR1 on the team when Tyreek Hill (ankle) exited the game, and he could move back into that role if Hill ends up remaining on the sidelines. Waddle would benefit […]

Isaiah Hodgins A Touchdown-Or-Bust Option For Week 15

New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has logged a touchdown in two straight games, now capturing three on the season. Unfortunately, that's about all Hodgins does right now. New York opts to utilize his 6-foot-3 frame inside the 20s but he's earned just three targets total over the last two games. The possible return […]

NFL Rookies to Watch in Week 15: Fantasy Football Dynasty and Redraft Leagues

As we enter Week 15, the fantasy playoffs have begun in many leagues. The time has come for the pretenders to be eliminated and the contenders to be elevated. The next several weeks will be filled with anxiety and relief, anger and excitement, and heartbreak and jubilation. The stakes are high, so the need to […]

Jalin Hyatt An Inconsistent, Untrustworthy Option Versus Saints

New York Giants wide receiver Jalin Hyatt followed up his first 100-yard performance in Week 12 with a Week 14 dud. The rookie secured just two of his three targets for 13 yards, despite playing nearly two-thirds of the snaps. With Tommy Devito under center and a lack of experience himself, Hyatt simply can't be […]

Wan’Dale Robinson Pops Up On Injury Report, Should Be Clear For Week 15

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson (quad) picked up a limited designation in practice on Friday but ultimately does not have any injury tag for Sunday. That means the second-year receiver will have a chance to build off one of the best performances of his young career. Robinson tallied over 100 yards through the […]

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Unavailable Saturday

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (concussion) will miss a second consecutive game on Saturday against Oklahoma City. He hurt his head in a battle with the Bulls earlier in the week, giving up his starting position to Justin Holiday on Thursday versus Brooklyn. Holiday had only two points against the Nets but stood out defensively […]

K.J. Osborn - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Sit In All Formats POSITIONAL VALUE: WR7 ANALYSIS: With the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver group at full strength this week against the Cincinnati Bengals, fantasy managers don't have much reason to put K.J. Osborn in their lineups. Last week, Osborn was targeted seven times, catching four passes for 15 yards. That was despite […]

David Montgomery - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2 ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has scored in double digits in each of the last five games since his return from injury in Week 10. Despite the emergence of rookie Jahmyr Gibbs, the 26-year-old has seen at least 12 touches in every game […]

Saquon Barkley Facing Winnable Matchup In Week 15

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley continues to be the focal point of the Giants' offense and remains an RB1 for fantasy football heading into Week 15. With little competition for backfield touches, the former Pro Bowl runner will only leave the field for a breather. Expect another effort with 20+ touches against a […]
