Broncos D/ST Should Be Started Against Colts In Week 15

Don't let the fact that the Denver Broncos defense allowed nearly 500 yards passing to Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston in their Week 13 win keep you from starting them in Week 15 at home against the visiting Indianapolis Colts. Despite being gashed by Cleveland's offense before their Week 14 bye, the Broncos' defense did […]

Figuring out which defense to start is one of the toughest aspects of fantasy football, and the last thing you want is to lose your first-round playoff matchup due to weak production out of your D/ST. Our NFL team's Week 15 fantasy football defense (D/ST) rankings are here to guide you in setting your optimal […]

Avoid Lions D/ST In Week 15 Against Bills

The Detroit Lions D/ST should be left on the bench or waiver wire in Week 15. The Lions draw a home matchup with the Bills led by a red-hot Josh Allen. The Bills lost last week to the Rams but Allen had three passing touchdowns and three rushing touchdowns as Buffalo scored 42 points in […]

Cowboys Defense Beaten Up Ahead Of Week 15 Matchup

The Dallas Cowboys defense has looked a bit more like the 2023 version of themselves over the past few weeks, but this unit is still prone to giving up big plays. They draw a surging Carolina Panthers team with an improving quarterback in Bryce Young in Week 15. After surrendering 27 points and 433 yards […]

Seahawks D/ST Not A Great Option In Week 15

The Seattle Seahawks D/ST has enjoyed a nice run since they came out of their Week 10 bye. The unit has been a starting-caliber D/ST for four straight games. However, that could all change in Week 15 when the team hosts the Green Bay Packers. The Seahawks' kryptonite all season has been stopping the run. […]

Week 15 FanDuel NFL DFS Picks - Main Slate (2024): Josh Allen, Justin Herbert, Ja'Marr Chase, Trey McBride

Week 14 featured potent fantasy performances from the likes of Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Jordan Addison, and Jauan Jennings, to name a few. With the playoffs on the horizon, who will be the top fantasy producers in Week 15?   In this article, I will be providing you with my Week 15 daily fantasy football […]

New Orleans D/ST Not Worth The Risk In Week 15

The New Orleans Saints' defense and special teams gave a solid effort in Week 14. Against the Giants, the Saints allowed a season-low 11 points to their opponent, recorded two sacks, and pulled down their first interception since Week 10. The competition in Week 15 will be much tougher, as New Orleans is set to […]

Titans D/ST Should Be Avoided Against The Bengals

The Tennessee Titans defense/special teams unit faces a daunting matchup this week as the Cincinnati Bengals visit Nissan Stadium. Joe Burrow (knee, wrist) and Ja'Marr Chase have been lighting it up throughout the 2024 season, and the Bengals have scored no less than 27 points in each of their last five outings as they continue […]

Steelers D/ST Can Be Started In Week 15 Despite Tough Matchup

The Pittsburgh Steelers will face a challenge in Week 15 on the road against the 11-2 Philadelphia Eagles. Although the Eagles have struggled to get their air attack going, they lead the NFL in rushing yards, score the eighth-most points, and commit turnovers at the sixth-lowest rate. Philadelphia does give up a fair amount of […]

Giants Defense Facing Potent Ravens Offense In Week 15

The New York Giants defense faces a monumental challenge in Week 15 against the league's top-ranked Baltimore Ravens offense. The Giants' unit has been respectable against the pass, ranking 6th in the NFL by allowing just 194.7 yards per game, and their pass rush has been effective with 38 sacks (6th in the league). However, […]

Jets Defense Draws Excellent Matchup In Week 15

The New York Jets defense struggled in a Week 14 loss, allowing the Miami Dolphins to post a 32-point game. They have a good chance to bounce back in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have been a good matchup for fantasy D/STs this season, allowing the 12th-most fantasy […]

Buccaneers D/ST Has Avoidable Matchup

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has looked better lately, but that could be because they've been playing weaker opponents. This defensive unit has allowed 23 points or less in each of the last four games. Fantasy managers shouldn't get carried away as this defense could have some struggles in Week 15. They will be without […]

Eagles D/ST Looks To Halt Steelers Offense

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit will look to impose their will as they host the Pittsburgh Steelers in a Week 15 matchup that could turn into a defensive battle. They also lead the NFL yards allowed per game (284.2) and rank eighth in total sacks, though their takeaway production has been relatively average. The […]

Packers D/ST A Low-End Starting Unit For Week 15

The Green Bay Packers defense and special teams unit suffered a setback last week against the Detroit Lions but look to bounce back on the road against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15. The Packers D/ST prior to last week had been a top 10 fantasy defense for three weeks in a row, but ran […]

Texans D/ST Should Be Avoided Against Miami Skill Players

Fantasy managers in elimination games should steer clear of the Houston Texans defense/special teams unit in a tricky matchup with the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. Miami boasts top-10 fantasy players at running back and tight end with De'Von Achane and Jonnu Smith, respectively, and wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle are among the […]

Chargers Defense A Decent Option In Week 15 Lineups

The Los Angeles Chargers defense is a solid option for Week 15 fantasy lineups as the Bolts will take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chargers faced the mighty (and incredibly lucky) Kansas City offense last week and held them to 298 total yards and just 19 points, scoring four fantasy points as a unit […]

Commanders Defense Viewed As Top Option Against Depleted Saints Offense

The Washington Commanders defense should be viewed as a high-end streaming option facing a depleted New Orleans Saints offense. With Derek Carr (hand/concussion) banged up, the Saints are turning to Jake Haener to operate as the QB1. Haener will have a difficult task ahead of him as his top wide receivers, Chris Olave (concussion) and […]

Ravens Defense A Strong Streaming Option Against Giants

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams has taken their lumps throughout the year, especially through the air. They've given up the most passing yards and seventh-most passing touchdowns, but have been one of the strongest against the run. Their Week 15 opponent, the New York Giants, has one of the worst passing offenses, a middle-of-the-pack run […]

Bradley Chubb Questionable To Face Texans

Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play on Sunday against the Houston Texans in Week 15. Meanwhile, offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is doubtful to play after missing practice all week. Chubb was designated to return from the Physically Unable to Perform last week but […]

Browns Defense Tough To Trust Vs. Chiefs In Week 15

The Cleveland Browns defense struggled in a Week 14 loss, allowing the Pittsburgh Steelers to score 27 points. They will look to bounce back at home against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. While the 2024 version of the Chiefs offense isn't as explosive as years past, this is still a dangerous offense led […]

Buffalo D/ST Faces League’s Highest-Scoring Offense

A week after getting torched by the Los Angeles Rams, the Buffalo Bills defense/special teams gets an even tougher matchup in Week 15. The Detroit Lions average 32.1 points per game, the most in the NFL. The sportsbooks project a high-scoring affair between these two teams, plus Jared Goff rarely throws interceptions (outside of his […]

Marshon Lattimore To Make Washington Debut In Week 15

Washington Commanders defensive back Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) is off the injury report and will make his Washington debut this weekend, facing his old team, the New Orleans Saints. Lattimore was traded to the nation's capital during the first week of November but has been sidelined due to a lingering hamstring injury. Before this injury, Lattimore […]

Patriots Defense Remains Off Fantasy Radar For Week 15

The New England Patriots defense/special teams is not a dependable option as the fantasy playoffs begin in Week 15. New England ranks 25th among D/ST units in terms of fantasy points this year, struggling even against subpar teams like the Jets and Jaguars. This week, they take on the Arizona Cardinals, who have allowed the […]

Texans Place Jalen Pitre On Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans officially placed defensive back Jalen Pitre (pectoral) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Friday. Pitre is done for the year, even if the Texans advance deep into the postseason, and will have surgery to fix his ruptured pectoral muscle. The 25-year-old safety will end his third season in the NFL with 65 tackles […]

D/ST Matchups to Target in Week 15 - Washington Commanders, Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles

There are a few ways you can get an edge and increase your chances of success when picking D/STs to start in DFS. We'll detail our reasoning down below, but there's a lot that goes into how a defense scores points in fantasy football. While the rules seem simple, game scripts and injuries are at […]

Those fortunate enough to make the playoffs must continue to grind out decisions, especially when it comes to team defenses. In the article below, I will present the strength of schedule (SOS) for the fantasy Defense/Special […]

49ers Defense Fails To Record Turnover In Low-Scoring Battle

The San Francisco 49ers defense held the Los Angeles Rams to 12 points but failed to record a turnover or sack on Thursday Night Football in Week 15. The 49ers have one of the NFL's more imposing defensive fronts with Nick Bosa anchoring the unit, but while Bosa did log a whopping three quarterback hits […]

De'Vondre Campbell Tells Coach He Didn't Want To Play Thursday

San Francisco 49ers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell "said that he didn't want to play" during the second half of Thursday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. In his postgame press conference, Shanahan said that he asked Campbell to enter the game as a substitute for Dre Greenlaw in the third […]

Marshon Lattimore On Track To Make Commanders Debut In Week 15

For the second straight day this week on Thursday, Washington Commanders cornerback Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) practiced in full as the team prepares to face the New Orleans Saints on Sunday in Week 15. Lattimore was acquired by the Commanders from the Saints on Nov. 5 but he hasn't made his debut for Washington yet due […]

Maxx Crosby Misses Thursday's Practice

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (ankle) was unable to participate in Thursday's practice session. Crosby missed his first game of his career in Week 4 due to an ankle issue. It's unclear if the issue is related, but regardless it's going to take a lot to get Crosby to sit out of a […]
