Survive and advance is now the name of the game. The fantasy football playoffs are now in full swing, so make sure you’re getting the best possible lineup advice available to you right here!

We’re now into the thick of the fantasy football playoffs. If your team is still alive and kicking, job well done. Now, it’s time to finish the deal and take home that first-place hardware.

There’s plenty of enticing matchups on the board for Week 15. If you’ve followed my “boom or bust” series throughout the season, you know that a common theme here is attacking games that should pose minimal defensive resistance – AKA shootouts! Luckily, we’ve got a handful of those spots to exploit as well as some sneaky-good plays for your squads.

One of the most appealing games of the week is likely going to be the Titans vs. Texans, two teams tied for the AFC South lead at 8-5 and each of whom rank in the bottom-10 in the NFL in passing yards allowed. Another game that has some high-scoring potential – Cardinals vs. Browns. Neither team plays much defense, something that should provide plenty of big stat lines to take advantage of. It doesn’t stop there, as there are other surefire studs to target outside of these contests.

Let’s go!

"DISCLAIMER: “BOOM or BUST” isn’t exactly a “Start or Sit” column. I identify and provide analysis for players who aren’t a top-tier starting option that I believe will exceed expectations – and also those who will fail to meet them. It should be remembered that these picks are done at the beginning of the week, so better options may surface as the week progresses and we get a better idea on various injuries and player situations. Use your best judgement and keep tabs on news updates around the league up until kickoff on Sunday. Without further ado, let’s dive right into this week’s matchups!"
