As you look to cash in on FanDuel in Week 15, here’s a lineup to consider deploying.

Week 15 is the start of the playoffs in many fantasy football leagues. So if there’s not consolation bracket to play in, half the people in a league may shift all focus to DFS and FanDuel.

As usual, this lineup is for Sunday main slate FanDuel contests this week. There are two Saturday games, so that narrows the options some (but maybe that’s a good thing). Also as usual, I’ll be using this lineup myself in a contest (barring a late necessary pivot, as happened in Week 14 when Elijah Moore was put on IR). The pivot, Hunter Renfrow, worked out.

Here is a lineup to deploy and hopefully cash in with on FanDuel in Week 15.

FanDuel NFL 2021: Best lineup for Week 15

Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Tennessee Titans-$6,600

Roethlisberger didn’t look good for most of Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, but a big fourth quarter got him to over 300 yards and three touchdown passes. He has multiple passing touchdowns and more than 19 fantasy points (Yaho! scoring) in three of his last four games.

In Week 15 “Big Ben” gets the Tennessee Titans, who are allowing the sixth-most FanDuel points to quarterbacks this season (19.6 per game). And that’s after a strong showing against Trevor Lawrence in Week 14. The only significant category Tennesse is even mid-pack in is passing touchdowns allowed, but facing Tyrod Taylor and Lawrence (and the messes around them) in two of their last three games helps.

Roethlisberger may not always look great getting there, but he’s delivering fantasy points lately. The combination of matchup and value makes him hard to turn down on FanDuel this week.
