DraftKings is a fun and quick alternative to regular fantasy football, but it’s just as challenging. This week’s lineup features a balanced group of studs.

Choosing from a pool of every fantasy-relevant player to put in your lineup is a lot harder than it sounds. Balancing your lineup with your budget can be tough, but good matchups and upside plays can make your decision easier.

This week’s lineup features an elite group of running backs and steady-floor receivers. Let’s get into it.

Best DraftKings lineup for Week 15

Quarterback: Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins ($5,700)

Tua Tagovailoa was mentioned in our best Week 15 matchup article, as he gets a dream matchup with the New York Jets, who have the sixth-worst secondary in the NFL. In their first meeting, Tagovailoa threw for 273 yards and two touchdowns, and was one of the top quarterback streams of that week. He should repeat that success yet again this week.

Though Tagovailoa doesn’t have the elite upside as the top-tier quarterbacks, he has a sturdy floor this week, and his cheaper price tag will allow us to build bigger throughout the rest of our lineup.
