Fantasy Football Rankings - Week 15

Updated: Dec 15, 2024

The Process

The process in developing these Fantasy Football Rankings is to only take data from the previous six weeks. Anything older than that holds little relevance unless there is a player returning from injury or some reason to discount the newer information.  Let's also keep in mind that the NFL is a weekly league, things change very quickly. Most analysts want to tell you that whatever happened last week explains everything, but that's far from reality.

Fantasy Football Weekly Rankings

When examining these fantasy football rankings - Week 15, take into consideration that we are looking at positional ranks, not flex or overall rankings. When it comes to who you start in the flex a lot will depend on your specific league rules and roster construction. If players are ranked within 3 spots of each other the difference between them is negligible, they are expected to score the same amount of points, in those cases go with your gut, flip a coin, or join our FREE Discord Channel.

Quarterback

Target the QB’s going against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cincinnati Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Carolina Panthers, and Dallas Cowboys. 


Detroit Lions Defensive Coordinator Aaron Glenn has faced a hyper-mobile QB in nine games since the start of 2022, those QBs averaged 11.6 carries per game, 83.4 rushing YPG, and 11.5 FPG from rushing alone. Detroit has been great against the pass this year, but Buffalo Bills QB, Josh Allen should be able to run all over them today. 








Running Back

Jaleel McLaughlin rushed the ball 14 times for 84 yards and caught one pass for zero yards in the Denver Broncos Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns. He led the Broncos running backs in touches, but it remains to be seen whether or not he will continue to see that kind of split with Javonte Williams and Audric Estime moving forward.


Carolina Panthers RB, Chuba Hubbard averages 113.0 rushing YPG and 25.0 FPG in the Panthers’ three wins. The Dallas Cowboys have allowed a league-high 29.9 rushing FPG in their losses, as well as 171.6 rushing YPG (3rd-most).





Wide Receiver

Elijah Moore caught three of his four targets for 34 yards in the Browns' 27-14 in the Week 14 loss to the Steelers. Moore has had mixed results over the past month, finishing with 35 receiving yards or less in three of his last five games. He will be tough to trust for fantasy managers ahead of a tough Week 15 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.


LA Rams WR Cooper Kupp may have a tough week against the San Francisco 49ers who are the stingiest defense against opposing slot WRs over the last five weeks — a league-low -8.6 schedule-adjusted FPG allowed to slots over that span.


Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley saw 12 targets against the Jags in Week 14, but turned them into just 7 receptions for 59 yards receiving. Ridley’s now gone over a month without scoring a TD, he is clearly just a fantasy WR3/flex play.



Over the last five weeks, no team has surrendered more schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to WRs than Atlanta Falcons (+17.7). Mostly due to Falcons CB Mike Hughes’ struggles with WRs on the perimeter with +16.8 schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game. Las Vegas Raiders WRs Jakobi Meyers, obviously, is a must-start in season-long leagues given this, while Tre Tucker has some super-low end DFS appeal.




Tight End

Hunter Henry caught 7-of-9 targets for 75 yards in the New England Patriots Week 13 loss to the Colts. Henry led the team in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. He has had eight or more targets in four of his last five games.
