Fantasy Football, Week 15: Best lineup with start/sit advice

Lineups

QUARTERBACKS 

Start: Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers 

Big Ben has had a productive season. His 4,227 passing yards ranks second in the league. Week 15 he gets a home matchup against the 23rd-ranked New England Patriots defense. Even when everyone thought he was seriously injured in Week 14, Big Ben came out and and almost lead his team to another victory.

Sit: Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers 

Rodgers even though he hasn’t had a Rodgers like season is still ranked sixth in passing yards in the NFL. Week 15 he will have to face a defense that held the No.1 offense in check and to only six total points. Rodgers is a great talent. It’s possible he thrives in this matchup. It’s just not one we will take a chance on during the fantasy playoffs.

RUNNING BACKS 

Start: David Johnson, Arizona Cardinals 

David Johnson has had a down year on a really bad team. Johnson is outside the top 10 in rushing yards and rushing touchdowns. Week 15 does present a juicy little fantasy playoff matchup. The Atlanta Falcons are 26th-ranked against the rush. Johnson could pay some heavy dividends Sunday.

Sit: Kenyan Drake, Miami Dolphins 

Drake caught a 55 yard touchdown against the New England Patriots in Week 14. Outside of that he rushed six times for just 24 yards. Week 15 he will go up against a Minnesota Vikings defense that 6th-ranked overall. Do the smart thing and sit Drake for your championship semifinal.

WIDE RECEIVERS 

Start: Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh Steelers 

Brown is an all-star, he can do it all. He generally has good games against everyone. The Steelers are looking for a big win at home against the New England Patriots. You can bet they will be fired up and ready to keep the pedal down against a Patriot defense that was exploited by Ryan Tannehill in Week 14.

Sit: Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Evans has been productive this season despite his quarterback situation. We just don’t like matchups against the Baltimore Ravens. Sure, Patrick Mahomes and his offense is a different story than Tampa Bay. These offenses are not even on the same level. Unless you have to start Evan’s, we advise a sit in Week 15.

Next: Best NFL player from each state

TIGHT ENDS

Start: Jared Cook, Oakland Raiders 

Jared Cook has emerged this season as the Raiders best offensive weapon. He top five in receiving yards, touchdowns, receptions and targets amongst tight ends. Cooks floor is amazing and one we really like against the Cincinnati Bengals last place defense. Cook would be a great start for your team in Week 15.

Sit: Jimmy Graham, Green Bay Packers 

Graham hasn’t clicked all season with Aaron Rodgers. There is absolutely no need to even roster him going forward. He has been a major disappointment in 2018. He might be washed up for good after this season. Plus Week 15 is against the Chicago Bears defense. Obvious sit with this matchup.
