Most exploitable matchups for fantasy football Week 15

5. Mike White, QB, New York Jets (vs. DET)

After the Jets’ loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 14, their playoff hopes are in real danger. Even with Mike White now at quarterback for the Jets, they’ve been losing important games that could make or break their season. The offense has performed better as a whole though, which can be attributed to White.

One thing is for sure about White — he can and will put up passing yards. Since becoming the Jets’ starter in Week 12, his 952 passing yards rank third among quarterbacks in a three-game span. He’s had two top-10 fantasy performances as well. White taking the starting job has elevated the whole Jets’ offense from a real-life and fantasy perspective.

The Detroit Lions are no longer a joke. They’re one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now, and just came off an impressive victory against the Minnesota Vikings. One thing to note, however, is that Kirk Cousins did throw for 425 yards in the loss. Their defense is still fairly porous, and White has all the tools and skill to take advantage of that and again be a solid streaming option.
