Fantasy Football, Week 15: Best lineup with start/sit advice
By Dylan Broady
Here we are in the thick of the fantasy football playoffs! Where does your team stand?
This is the best part of the fantasy football season. If you made it to the playoffs then you know exactly how important it is to win the next two games. Maybe you’re a first-time champion this season. Maybe you can add to your illustrious trophy collection. Here at best lineup, it’s time for the playoff edition.
We want to add to our fantasy street cred by letting everyone know how we did the week before. So let’s dive in and see how our guys performed last week. Starting things off we said Philip Rivers was the best quarterback play. He didn’t live up to our expectations, but he did have a decent fantasy day. We projected him at 350 passing yards and three touchdowns.
We didn’t get that out of him. What we received was 220 passing yards and one touchdown. Very disappointed, Philip.
Moving on, we liked Ezekiel Elliott. We thought we put a prediction down but turns out we forgot. So without looking at his real stat line we would’ve put him at 150 rushing yards, 50 receiving yards and two total touchdowns. Zeke actually rushed for 113 yards, 79 receiving yards and zero touchdowns.
Our wide receiver played on Monday Night Football. Adam Thielen had a decent game. We projected him at 100 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He received 70 yards with zero touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks.
Last but not least, we had George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers. His projection from us was 85 receiving yards and one touchdown. Man, did he have a great game or what? Most receiving yards in a single game by a tight end since 1970? What a great accomplishment. His actual stat line was 210 receiving yards and one touchdown.
So who could help us in Week 15? Who do we need to help us take the next step to the fantasy championship game? Let’s dive in and find out!
