Steelers Defense A Top Fantasy Option In Week 15

The Pittsburgh Steelers Defense draws a dream matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. The Bengals have struggled to score points ever since Joe Burrow was lost for the season, as they have been held under eight points in two of three games since the injury. There is a good chance that the Bengals […]

Eric Ebron Draws Excellent Matchup In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Eric Ebron turned in a slow outing in a loss to the Buffalo Bills last week, catching just two passes. Look for him to bounce back in an excellent matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. The Bengals have struggled to contain opposing tight ends this season, allowing the third-most […]

Chase Claypool A WR3 Vs. Bengals

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Chase Claypool has been quiet of late, having caught just five passes for 53 yards over his past two games while carrying a three-game scoring drought. After a red hot start to the season, Claypool seems to have fallen to third in the wide receiver pecking order behind Diontae Johnson and […]

Corey Davis A Boom Or Bust WR3

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Corey Davis slumped last week with a disappointing three catches, but he has topped 100 yards four times heading into Tennessee's Week 15 matchup with a Lions Defense that has allowed the third-most yards in the league to wide receivers (2,561). Davis' WR3 volume should return for what figures to be […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster A Low-End WR2 Vs. Cincinnati

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster found the end zone in Week 14, his seventh touchdown of the season. While his yardage totals haven't been great, Smith-Schuster continues to see a healthy amount of targets and receptions in the Pittsburgh offense. He will look to turn in another solid performance in Week 15 against the […]

Derrick Henry Poised For Another Monster Game

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry had his second game of the season with 200 rushing yards and two touchdowns last week, and Tennessee's star running back is capable of posting another such performance in Week 15 against a Lions Defense that has surrendered a league-high 23 scrimmage touchdowns to running backs. He's poised for […]

A.J. Brown A WR1 In Week 15 Against Poor Lions Defense

Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown scored his ninth touchdown in the last 10 games last week, and Tennessee's biggest receiving threat should put his playmaking ability on display again in Week 15 against a Lions Defense that has allowed 2,561 yards to wide receivers -- third-most in the league. Despite having zero 10-target games […]

Diontae Johnson A Low-End WR2 In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson certainly didn't do much to instill confidence after getting benching for almost the entire first half of last week's loss to the Buffalo Bills due to his ongoing issues with drops. Johnson will look to bounce back, and hold onto the football, in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals. […]

Ryan Tannehill Has Another Dreamy Week 15 Matchup

Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has had his passing yardage totals fluctuate based on game flow, but Tennessee's quarterback has an outstanding 28:5 TD:INT heading into a Week 15 matchup with a Lions Defense that's allowing 29.9 points per game -- fourth-most in the league. It's another dreamy matchup for Tannehill and he should attempt […]

Ben Roethlisberger A Low-End QB1 In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals on Monday night in Week 15. Roethlisberger will look for an encore performance after he threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns back when these two teams met in Week 10. The Bengals should allow another big game to Big Ben […]

Browns Defense An Excellent Option In Week 15

The Cleveland Browns Defense will take on the New York Giants on the road in Week 15. Cleveland's defense is installed as six-point road favorites in a game with a reasonably low 44.5-point over/under. In addition, Cleveland's defense will be at an advantage in the game as the Giants will either start a banged-up Daniel […]

Rashard Higgins A Flex Option In Week 15

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Rashard Higgins has been solid over his past two games, having caught 12 passes and two touchdowns over that span. He will look to keep it going in a Week 15 road game against the New York Giants. The Giants have been tough on opposing wide receivers this season, allowing the […]

Jarvis Landry A Solid WR3 In Week 15

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry is in the midst of his most productive stretch of the season as he has caught 22 balls for 257 yards and two touchdowns over his past three games. He will look to stay hot in a difficult Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants. The Giants have […]

Kareem Hunt An RB2 Vs. Giants

Cleveland Browns running back Kareem Hunt is coming off his best game of the season, a contest where he racked up 110 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns against the Baltimore Ravens. He will look to stay hot in a Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants. New York has struggled to contain opposing running […]

Nick Chubb A Solid RB1 In Week 15

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb has logged five straight games with at least 80 rushing yards while finding the end zone five times over that span. Chubb will be an excellent fantasy option again in Week 15 in a road matchup against the New York Giants. The Giants have been generous to running backs […]

Baker Mayfield A QB2 Vs. Giants

Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield has been on a hot streak of late, having thrown eight touchdowns and just one interception over his past three games. He will look to keep it going in a Week 15 road game against the New York Giants. New York has been decent against the pass this season, ranking […]

Jordan Akins A Dicey Play

Houston Texans tight end Jordan Akins has failed to take advantage of the opportunity in front of him lately. Akins has been plagued by drops recently, including several dropped scores. The veteran tight end actually saw a decrease in snaps recently, though it's unclear if it's related to a decrease in his production. It's hard […]

Chad Hansen A Sleeper Against Colts

Houston Texans wide receiver Chad Hansen has settled in as the third wideout for his team. The Cal product has seen at least seven targets in back-to-back games, delivering at least 50 yards both times, including a 100-yard day. The matchup against the Colts was a bad one earlier in the year, though they've become […]

Keke Coutee In The WR3 Range For Week 15

Houston Texans wide receiver Keke Coutee has built some momentum as a fantasy option over the last two weeks. Coutee has produced over 100 yards in one game and a touchdown in the other, playing at least 70 percent of the snaps in both contests. He has emerged as a starting-caliber wideout in the absence […]
