Welcome to the Week 15 slate of the NFL Season! Each week, I'll be bringing you our famous NFL DFS Cheat Sheet with expert research and picks for cash games and GPPs. Here are a few notes about the sheet.
- I will now be using data exclusively from 2022!
- The "fantasy points allowed rank" reflects how a player's opponent ranked in fantasy points allowed to their specific position. The lower the number, the better the matchup.
- DVOA is a stat created by Football Outsiders that stands for Defense-adjusted Value Over Average and takes into account the quality of the previous offensive opponents. This rating is being shown for both the offensive player's team and their opponent.
- A play labeled "cash" is a higher-owned play that is recommended for cash games. A "strong" play is playable in all formats. "Slate-breakers" are some of my favorite GPP targets for upside or reduced ownership.
- Vegas and risk columns will all be updated during the week to reflect injury info, weather info, and the most recent Vegas info.

This is where I want to give you some other players who will be in my player pool, who didn't make the cut for the cheat sheet. The main recommended plays are always going to be geared more toward cash games and single-entry tournaments, but here are some lower-owned options for large-field tournaments.
QB: Ryan Tannehill
RB: Alvin Kamara, Travis Etienne Jr., Zonovan Knight, Latavius Murray, Jerick McKinnon
WR: A.J. Brown, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Chris Olave, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Zay Jones, Jerry Jeudy
TE: Pat Freiermuth, Gerald Everett, Evan Engram, Tyler Conklin
DEFENSE: Denver (cash chalk), Tampa Bay, Carolina, Pittsburgh
Week 15 DFS Slate Notes
Some injury updates that may or may not move the needle on some players here.
Josh Jacobs is officially questionable, but I would expect him to play and there has been nothing reported about him trending in any other direction than toward being good to go. He's cash-viable in my opinion but not in my cash cores this week in case you want to spend up elsewhere.
Rhamondre Stevenson is questionable and it looked like he might miss this week, but he did practice in a limited session yesterday. I would avoid the Pats' running back situation for now unless we get both Stevenson and Harris out on Sunday then we could consider someone like Pierre Strong as a GPP punt.
Tee Higgins still has a Q-tag but is likely to play. He burned a lot of folks last week and the Bengals play a 4:30 game this week so don't plug him in your lineup until you are absolutely sure he is active on Sunday.
Courtland is officially out, meaning I am adding Jerry Jeudy (who had three touchdowns last week) to my player pool. No Russell Wilson for the Broncos might be a downgrade for this offense, but how much of a downgrade, really? Jeudy and Dulcich are both interesting in DFS with Dulcich being a cash play and Jeudy being a GPP target.
Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins are both out for the Texans, meaning WE ARE PLAYING Chris Moore IN ALL FORMATS. He's chalk, but the good kind of chalk as in he's cheap with very low bust potential and even if he underperforms a bit he won't kill your lineup.
Jakobi Meyers is questionable and DeVante Parker is OUT. That means Nelson Agholor could be in line for a huge workload in a great spot against the Raiders. I don't think I need to go there in cash, but if Meyers does miss, then I will absolutely have a lot of Agholor in GPPs at a crazy low price.
Keep an eye on Dallas Goedert's status. He's a low-owned GPP play at his price if he does go, but if he's out then it makes me like DeVonta Smith even more against Chicago than I already do.
FAVORITE GAME STACKS:
TEN-LAC: Herbert-Henry-Allen/Williams-Okonkwo
KC Onslaught: Mahomes-Pacheco/McKinnon-Kelce-Chris Moore
Philly Onslaught: Hurts-Sanders-Brown/Smith
