Should I start Xavier Worthy, Devaughn Vele, Xavier Legette for Week 15? Fantasy football start em, sit em picks and recommendations for the 2024 NFL season.
The fantasy playoffs are here, and the stakes could not be higher. Lineup decisions are like chess—every move counts and the wrong one could leave you out in the cold. I don't know how to play chess, but you get what I mean.
Wide receivers can swing matchups with big plays or sink them with dud performances, making these choices even more challenging.
This week, we analyze three wideouts who could make or break your playoff matchup. Are Xavier Worthy, Devaughn Vele, or Xavier Legette worth starting?
Should I Start Xavier Worthy for Fantasy Football?
Xavier Worthy has been consistent in the Kansas City Chiefs offense, bringing in at least four passes in four straight games. In Week 14, the rookie snagged five of six targets for 41 yards and added a five-yard carry. Though he did not find the end zone, the 21-year-old finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Travis Kelce.

This week, Worthy faces the Cleveland Browns, a defense that has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to wide receivers and 17 touchdowns to the position this season. Cleveland has surrendered at least one touchdown to a wide receiver in all but one game.
Worthy's steady role in the Chiefs' offense makes him a solid WR3 or flex play in Week 15. You can confidently start him in this favorable matchup.
He is the WR51 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start Devaughn Vele for Fantasy Football?
Week 13 was a disappointment for Devaughn Vele, who managed just 2.6 PPR points against the Cleveland Browns. Despite Bo Nix throwing for 294 yards, the rookie WR failed to make an impact, continuing his trend of inconsistency as the Broncos' No. 2 receiver.

This week, the Broncos face the Indianapolis Colts, a defense that has conceded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers over the last month. The Colts have not given up a touchdown to the position in their last four games, further dimming Vele's prospects.
With the playoffs on the line, trusting an unreliable player like Vele is too risky. He is best left on your bench this week.
He is the WR57 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
Should I Start Xavier Legette for Fantasy Football?
Xavier Legette of the Carolina Panthers has seen his role expand in recent weeks, with eight targets in back-to-back games. Quarterback Bryce Young is playing better football, which bodes well for Legette's fantasy outlook.

Despite only managing 5.9 PPR points in Week 14, Legette's increased involvement is a positive sign. The South Carolina product saw a red-zone target last week that would have won the game, though he dropped it. He should continue to get looks while in scoring position, but he needs to hold onto the ball.
The Panthers battle the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15, a defense surrendering the 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers. With his growing role and a decent matchup, Legette is a comfortable flex play and a solid WR3 option for this week.
He is our WR58 in our half-PPR consensus staff rankings.
