Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
DeAndre Hopkins is coming off of his lowest snap share of the season in Week 14 and his third time producing a goose egg. Head coach John Harbaugh talked about getting Hopkins more involved, which is like listening to a broken record at this point.
Rashod Bateman (ankle) is currently listed as questionable, so Hopkins does have a chance to move up in the depth chart. While the Cincinnati Bengals' defense has been the butt of a lot of jokes, they've only allowed 15.13 fantasy points per game to opposing receivers over the last four weeks. That combined with being fourth or fifth in the target pecking order make Hopkins hard to trust. Especially with a WR83 projection in RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow was having a fantastic showing in the Week 14 meeting with the Bills. Unfortunately, his solid day ended abruptly after he threw interceptions on back-to-back drives late in the fourth quarter, allowing Buffalo to erase a deficit and pick up the victory. Still, Burrow's day wasn't a complete flop, much to the delight of fantasy managers, with the signal-caller throwing for 284 yards, four touchdowns, and two picks while completing 25 of his 36 attempts. The 2020 No. 1 overall selection was in the news during the week after he appeared frustrated and displeased while speaking to the media, leaving more questions than answers not only about his future in Cincinnati, but as a quarterback in the National Football League in general. For now, the Bengals will look to keep their extremely low postseason hopes alive in Week 15 versus the Ravens. These clubs just met in Week 13, with Burrow ending the contest by passing for 261 yards and two touchdowns. He won't have
Tee Higgins (concussion) once again. However, Burrow did just fine without him the last time around, keeping him a starting option in all fantasy formats against an inconsistent Ravens defense.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor has recorded only one reception in each of the past two games, but scored his first touchdown since Week 3 last week against the Cleveland Browns. The rookie fourth-rounder has maintained a near every-down role since the start of the season, playing 81.5% of the snaps in 12 games. Ayomanor has earned at least five targets in all but two games played this season, but it hasn't translated into much fantasy production in a poor Titans offense, averaging just 6.9 PPR points per game. The rookie wideout profiles as a deep league flex option in a favorable Week 15 matchup against a San Francisco 49ers defense that has allowed the eighth most passing yards per game this season.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Keaton Mitchell briefly popped up on the injury report after registering a limited practice on Wednesday due to knee issues. Since then, he's been a full participant and was cleared from the injury report. Despite seeing 15% or less of the snap share in the last two weeks, Mitchell has finished as a high-end RB3 in half-PPR leagues. The last time against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13, Mitchell found the end zone with two carries for 19 yards and two receptions for 12 yards. While he could have a similar game against the 32nd ranked defense against opposing backfields, he's a very risky flex play. He's currently projected as the RB55 in RotoBaller's rankings.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren has found the end zone in three consecutive contests and will look to keep the streak alive in a Week 15 clash with the Miami Dolphins. Although the Dolphins' run defense was porous early in the season, it has turned things around as of late, holding opposing backs to just 3.8 yards per carry and the fewest fantasy points per game since Week 10. Furthermore, Miami hasn't given up a rushing or receiving touchdown to a running back since Week 8. Warren, while splitting touches with
Kenneth Gainwell, is still Pittsburgh's primary ballcarrier and has seen an uptick in targets over the past two weeks. Cold temperatures and potential wind in Pittsburgh on Monday night could also influence the game script in his favor. He remains locked in as a fantasy RB2 despite the tough matchup.

The Indianapolis Colts will start quarterback
Philip Rivers on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. After coming out of retirement and signing with the Colts on Tuesday and getting a whole week of practice in, the 44-year-old signal-caller is set to play in his first game since the 2020 season. Rookie quarterback
Riley Leonard (knee) practiced in full every day this week and looks like he'll back up Rivers this week, assuming he is active. The unfortunate season-ending injury to
Daniel Jones (Achilles) and the fluky injury to Anthony Richardson (eye) in pre-game warmups earlier in the season have led the Colts to rely on the eight-time Pro Bowler Rivers as the starting quarterback. Rivers profiles as a desperation QB2 option in superflex leagues in a tough Week 15 matchup on the road in Seattle.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers is coming off his highest passing yardage total of the season in Week 14 and will take on the Miami Dolphins at home on Monday Night Football. Miami enters on a hot streak, having won four straight games while limiting opposing quarterbacks to the 10th-fewest fantasy points per contest over that span. That said, the Dolphins' run defense has been even more formidable than their pass defense. With Pittsburgh struggling to establish the ground game lately, the Steelers could be forced to lean more heavily on Rodgers' arm. Still, while this matchup is expected to be competitive, it is not projected to be particularly high-scoring, which caps the 41-year-old's fantasy upside. Fantasy managers should avoid relying on Rodgers as anything more than a low-end QB2 in superflex formats in Week 15.

Barring a setback, Miami Dolphins running back
De'Von Achane (ribs) is expected to play Monday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Offensive coordinator Frank Smith said Friday that he expects the superstar running back to be ready for Monday night after picking up a rib injury in last week's win over the New York Jets. The team limited his reps in practice, but he shouldn't have any limitations in Week 15. The 24-year-old running back has been on a tear lately, recording 72 carries for 520 rushing yards and four touchdowns while adding 12 receptions for 109 yards on 13 targets over the last four games. Achane remains an elite fantasy option for Week 15's matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Isaiah Likely has seen an increased amount of work over the last two weeks. He finished as the TE9 in each of the last two weeks in half-PPR formats, and saw six targets in both games while catching nine of the possible 12. The last time he took on the Cincinnati Bengals' defense in Week 13, Likely finished with five catches for 95 yards and a fumble. The Bengals are far and away the weakest defense against opposing tight ends (ranked 32nd on the season and last four weeks), so Likely and
Mark Andrews should both see plenty of opportunities. The biggest issue is the game script and if the Ravens' coaching staff actually wants to commit to the run, roll with Andrews more often, or keep finding Likely. With that being said, Likely projects as the TE12 on RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Chimere Dike scored his third receiving touchdown of the season in last week's win over the Cleveland Browns. Dike has played a near full-time role in the Titans' offense since Week 8, totaling 21 receptions for 188 yards and two touchdowns on 33 targets over that stretch. The rookie fourth-rounder's two best performances of the season came in back-to-back games in Weeks 7 and 8, catching four passes on four targets for 70 yards against the Patriots before following it up with seven receptions on eight targets for 93 yards against the Colts. Dike hasn't surpassed 50 yards in the five games since. He profiles as a deep league flex option in Week 15 against a San Francisco 49ers defense that ranks 21st in fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews (glute) was cleared from the injury report in time for the rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. He was only limited in Thursday's practice, and immediately was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Andrews has struggled to deliver for his fantasy managers over the last three weeks, but a matchup with the Bengals could help. They are by far the worst team against tight ends in fantasy football as they give up 24.11 fantasy points per game, which is eight points more on average than the second-worst. One issue, however, is that
Isaiah Likely has been getting more involved in recent weeks. Andrews has turned into a risky play, but he does carry TE1 potential in this matchup.

The Chicago Bears' defense has been a turnover-forcing machine in 2025, and continued to do so in Week 14 despite facing a top-10 scoring offense in the NFL. The Bears had an interception in Week 14, which is now their sixth straight game forcing a turnover. They lead the NFL in turnovers forced this season (27), with the next closest teams only having 23 turnovers. Now, they face rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. While Sanders has been playing well in his three starts so far, but has thrown an interception in three of his first four games. The Bears will look to take advantage of the rookie quarterback and are a fine start as a D/ST in Week 15.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland was able to find the endzone in Week 14, hauling in four of five targets for 29 yards and the score In Week 14. With wide receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) out for last week's game, Loveland and other receivers saw a bigger workload in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite his high draft capital and stellar showing so far, the Bears continue to limit his role. Veteran
Cole Kmet played 75% of the snaps last week, while the rookie played 59% of the snaps. He faces a Cleveland Browns defense that has been average against tight ends this season, but with a limited snap count and lack of passing volume from the Bears offense, Loveland is better left on the bench in Week 15.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver
Luther Burden III led the Bears in receiving in Week 14, hauling in four of six targets for 67 yards in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. With second-year receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) inactive for last week's divisional showdown, Burden stepped up as a lead receiver ahead of veteran
D.J. Moore. The rookie receiver played 71% of the snaps, trailing both Moore and
Olamide Zaccheaus, who was trending down before last week. However, if Odunze misses Week 15, Burden could be a starting option in fantasy leagues. He faces a Browns secondary that will be without top cornerback Denzel Ward, who's out with a calf injury. Burden's value depends on whether or not Odunze will play in Week 15, as the rookie could go from a low-end WR3 to a bench option depending on his availability.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
D.J. Moore was unable to capitalize on his expanded opportunities in Week 14, totaling -4 yards on one reception against the Green Bay Packers. Despite
Rome Odunze (foot) being out, Moore struggled and left fantasy managers as frustrated as they've been all season. The run-heavy approach the Bears have been using has been a factor, but his connection with
Caleb Williams is simply not there. He faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Even if Odunze is out for Week 15, Moore is hard to trust as a starting option from a fantasy perspective.
