Week 15 Quarterback Outlooks for Fantasy Football

Bo Nix, Denver Broncos - Fantasy Football Outlook

Going into a Week 15 game with all kinds of playoff implications this Sunday in Denver against the visiting Indianapolis Colts, Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix will maintain low-end QB1 appeal in the first round of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues.

The 24-year-old 12th overall pick out of Oregon ranks as the No. 15 QB in overall fantasy points through 14 weeks in his first NFL season, and he's also been the QB15 in the last five games, throwing for 1,089 yards on 140 pass attempts with nine touchdowns and only two interceptions.

The young signal-caller did throw two picks in last week's thrilling win over the Cleveland Browns -- his first two INTs since throwing one in Week 9 -- but he fell just shy of 300 yards passing and has at least 273 passing yards in the last three games. Nix has plenty of upside against a Colts defense that has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to QBs per game in 2024.

Anthony Richardson, Indianapolis Colts - Fantasy Football Outlook

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson had a great fantasy day in Week 13, throwing two touchdown passes, rushing for a touchdown, and scoring a two-point conversion. Fresh off their bye week, the 22-year-old has had an extra week to prepare for Sunday's matchup, although it remains to be seen whether or not that was enough time to fix the problems that have led to a 47.4% completion rate on the season.

The former first-round draft pick will take on a Denver defense that has been generally good against the pass, having allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, however, the Browns' Jameis Winston torched the defense for 497 yards and four touchdowns their last time out (albeit with three INTs as well).

Holding Richardson's fantasy value afloat is his legs, averaging nearly nine attempts, 47 yards, and a TD per contest in the three games since being reinserted as the starter. View the second-year pro as a mid-range QB2 this week who has some upside with his legs given his nose for the end zone.

Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers - Fantasy Football Outlook

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young didn't throw his first touchdown of the 2024-25 campaign until the Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos. Yet, he's tossed at least one touchdown in every game since then. Granted, there is still room for improvement. But there have been signs of life from Young, with the signal-caller falling just two yards shy of his first 300-yard passing performance of the year in Week 13.

With Carolina sitting on only three wins, the team's playoff hopes faded away weeks ago. Still, Young will likely try to prove his worth for the remainder of the season, giving him some upside for Sunday's meeting against a shaky Cowboys defense. Does the favorable matchup make the 23-year-old a viable fantasy option? Not necessarily.

However, he does deserve some recognition for those participating in deep two-QB setups. Young will also see some attention from DFS managers in Week 15.
