DraftKings NFL: Week 15 lineup
By Joe Romano
The NFL is in looking forward to the playoffs with Week 15 here. DraftKings is available to win you some money during those fierce battles as the season winds down.
Week 14 has come and gone. We are on Week 15. The previous week was a little crazy.
Sunday’s slate of games featured huge fantasy performances. The Chicago Bears rode Jordan Howard to a big win versus the Cincinnati Bengals. The Dallas Cowboys dominated the Giants behind Rod Smith’s big performance. Finally Johnathan Stewart proved that he can still produce for the Carolina Panthers. Stewart has been an inconsistent fantasy player all season. Meanwhile, Howard is a mainstay for fantasy owners but Smith’s production was a massive surprise.
The afternoon portion of the games also featured the biggest performance of the day. Houston Texans’ wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins proved that it does not matter who is throwing him the ball. That time slot also featured the two most anticipated games of the week.
Philadelphia got out of Los Angeles with the win against the Rams. However, quarterback Carson Wentz was lost for the remainder of the season after throwing four touchdown passes. Rams running back Todd Gurley impressed with two touchdowns of his own.
Meanwhile in Jacksonville, Blake Bortles and Russell Wilson finished to almost a draw. The run game for Jacksonville was the deciding factor with Leonard Fournette getting back on track.
