Fantasy Football 2019 Week 15 starts and sits
By Bill Pivetz
Start: David Njoku
In his first game back from injury, Njoku caught just one pass for four yards. I blame that more on lack of repetition than anything else. He had four receptions for 37 yards and a score in the first game this season.
While Ricky Seals-Jones and Stephen Carlson are still in the mix, I assume the coaching staff would want to get their former first-round pick more involved. Luckily, they play against the Cardinals, the worst defense against tight ends.
Sleeper: Breshad Perriman
Winston’s value drops some without Evans. Perriman’s, on the other hand, goes way up. He’s been productive over the last two weeks, eight combined catches for 157 yards and a touchdown. With defenses focusing on Godwin more, he should match up well against the Lions secondary.
Sit: Dallas Goedert
The Eagles are dealing with a lot of injuries on offense. I already mentioned the receivers being out. That may lead to a big game from the backup tight end. However, I think Zach Ertz, Greg Ward, J.J. Arcega-Whiteside and the running backs will have a bigger impact in the passing game.
Potential Bust: Odell Beckham Jr.
Taking the off-the-field noise out of the equation, Beckham has not looked good with the Browns this season. He has two touchdowns and two 100-yard games. Beckham hasn’t passed 90 receiving yards since week 6. He’s getting targets but they’re not turning into anything. The matchup is right but can they make it work?
The fantasy football season is almost over, so cherish the couple of weeks we have left. Make smart decisions, trust your instincts and rub a rabbit’s foot. Good luck this week.
