Fantasy Football 2019 Week 15 starts and sits
By Bill Pivetz
As we prepare for the second round of the fantasy football playoffs, your roster decisions become more difficult.
Week 15 is here. In most leagues, it’s the second round of the fantasy football playoffs. If you made it this far, congratulations. It’s been a tough road, especially with the number of injuries this season, but you made it work. As you prepare for the semi-finals, I’m here to help with your starting lineup.
We already know that Mike Evans, Alshon Jeffery, Marvin Jones and Calvin Ridley are done for the season. Top fantasy quarterback Lamar Jackson and a few other running backs are questionable. The tough grind of the season is catching up, so starting a healthy and viable team is getting more difficult.
Though, some of the decisions will be made for you. Regardless of matchup or team context, you start your studs. So, if you own Jackson or Christian McCaffrey or Michael Thomas, they will be in your lineup. This piece is for the not-so-easy decisions between similarly ranked players.
I broke this piece into three sections: quarterbacks, running backs and pass-catchers (wide receivers and tight ends). Within each section, there will be four players: a start, sleeper, sit and potential bust.
My criteria for each player is pretty simple. The start is someone you have in your lineup. The sleeper is someone with a great matchup and the potential to put up big numbers. The sit is someone you don’t want in your lineup this week. The bust is someone who you may usually start but can’t risk it.
While reading this piece, you may even find a player or two that are available in your league and worth starting in this crucial matchup. So, prepare well and hope the fantasy football gods are in your favor.
