As if signing up for the Fantasy Alarm Assistant GM wasn't a good enough decision already, we present to you even more assistance in setting your lineups this week.

Every Friday throughout the NFL regular season I will be sending you this lineup helper that I like to call: Tough Decisions. In this article I will break down players with similar value, ranking and projection heading into this coming week.

Let's take a look at the TOUGH DECISIONS for Week 15:

Quarterbacks

Ryan Fitzpatrick (@Cowboys) or Drew Brees (vs. Lions)

The Case for Fitzpatrick: Let’s get right to the point, “Fitzmagic” is a QB1 this week against the Dallas Cowboys. The New York signal caller hasn’t thrown an interception since throwing two against Houston in Week 11, having tossed nine touchdowns since. Over the last three weeks, Fitzpatrick is averaging 26 fantasy points per game and the outlook is bright against Dallas in Week 15. Sure, Dallas doesn’t boast one of the worst defenses in the league, but they surely are nowhere near the league’s elite. Only five quarterbacks have tossed multiple touchdowns in a game against Dallas this season, but I like Fitzpatrick’s chances of being the sixth. You should have no worries starting Fitzpatrick during your fantasy league’s playoffs or in DFS in Week 15.

The Case for Brees: Since facing the Houston defense in Week 12, Brees has thrown five touchdowns (three against Carolina) to just one interception. He has put up 20-plus points in each of the last two games and a Detroit defense doesn’t pose much of a threat of stopping that streak. The Lions have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game this season and have picked off opposing quarterbacks just six times this season. Brandin Cooks, Willie Snead and Benjamin Watson should each see their share of targets in this game, en route to another 20-plus point fantasy output. If you’re looking for a floor for Brees in this one, think around 275 yards with two touchdowns.

The Verdict: Fitzpatrick. He should have a good game and continue his recent hot streak. FITZMAGIC!

Running Backs

Eddie Lacy (@Raiders) or Matt Forte (@Vikings)

The Case for Lacy: After a five-carry day in Week 13 against the Lions, Lacy emerged from coach Mike McCarthy’s doghouse to rumble for 124 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries last week. Many drafted Lacy with the hopes of him being a top running back this season and in those terms, he’s failed. However, he has tallied 100 or more yards in three of the last four weeks and a matchup with the Oakland Raiders in Week 15 is promising. With McCarthy calling plays, expect Lacy to be featured early and often. The Raiders have allowed 4.2 yards per carry to opposing running backs over the last five weeks, so Lacy should be able to produce against the Oakland defense. Lacy is a RB1 this week.

The Case for Forte: Jeremy Langford was extremely effective while Forte was on the shelf with a knee injury. Even though Forte has returned, the team continues to use Langford quite a bit. Forte got 21 carries in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, but was out-touched 14-11 by Langford in Week 14 against the Washington Redskins. Over the last three weeks, the Vikings are allowing 4.5 yards per carry to opposing running backs, slightly higher than their 4.2 yards per carry mark for the 2015 season as a whole. Forte might have a hard time making an impact in the passing game this week, seeing as the Vikings have only allowed 55 receptions to the position. If it weren’t for the presence and high usage of Langford, Forte would be a RB1. However, Langford is there, which drops Forte to a low-end RB2.

The Verdict: Lacy. He has a good matchup and as long as he shows up on time for everything this week, expect a quality performance from the Green Bay running back.

Denard Robinson (vs. Falcons) or Tim Hightower (vs. Lions)

The Case for Robinson: Robinson was one of the most popular waiver wire pickups this week, due to the fact that regular starter T.J. Yeldon sprained his knee in Week 14. Over the last three games, in limited duty may I add, Robinson has rushed for 119 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. If Yeldon is unable to play, Robinson will assume Yeldon’s role and likely his usage of work, launching Robinson into RB2 territory. Continuing with the good news, Robinson and the Jaguars will face the Atlanta Falcons, one of the most fantasy-friendly defenses to the position. The Falcons have allowed a whopping 15 rushing touchdowns to the position this season, tied for most in all of football. They have also allowed 94 receptions by running backs, most in the league by 10! If Yeldon isn’t on the field on Sunday, Robinson is your RB2 in Week 15.

The Case for Hightower: After Mark Ingram was shut down for the rest of the season before Week 14, Hightower earned an astounding 29 touches against the Bucs. He turned 28 carries into 85 yards and found the end zone for the first time in what seemed like decades for the running back. He is in line for another big workload this week against the Detroit Lions. Is there a lot of optimism for the New Orleans running back? You bet there is. Remember reading just a few seconds ago about how the Falcons are tied for allowing the most rushing touchdowns in all of football? Well, the Falcons are tied with the Lions, the Saints Week 15 opponent. Detroit is susceptible on the ground and with a large body of work, Hightower is an RB2 in Week 15.

The Verdict: Hightower. You’ll have to wait it out to see whether or not Yeldon is playing, but regardless, Hightower seems closer to a lock to 20-plus carries than Robinson.

Wide Receivers

Larry Fitzgerald (vs. Titans) or Eric Decker (vs. Redskins)

The Case for Fitzgerald: Sure, Fitzgerald hasn’t scored since Week 8. Sure, his yardage has decreased in every game after totaling 130 in Week 10. Sure, his fantasy output has decreased during that same span. However, he does face the miserable Philadelphia secondary in Week 15. Fitz receives a ton of targets on a weekly basis, ranking in the top 10 among wide receivers this season. There a ton of mouths to feed in Arizona, but no option is a bad option against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fitz also has history going for him in this one. If you take his stats from his last six games against Philly, you come away with this average stat line: 6.3 receptions on 9.5 targets for 108.3 yards with 1.3 touchdowns. Lock him in as a WR1 this week.

The Case for Decker: Decker has nine touchdowns on the season and he continues to be a favored target in the red zone by quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. A whopping 23.6 percent of his targets have come inside the 20. To put that into perspective, top receivers Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins and Allen Robinson have percentages of 12.6, 15.5 and 18.8, respectively. He has scored a touchdown in all but three games this season and as long as Fitzpatrick is playing well, Decker is a quality WR2 in all formats. Sure, Dallas is allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, but they have been torched by the likes of Mike Evans, Julio Jones and even Jordan Matthews. WR2 in Week 15, lock it in.

The Verdict: Fitzgerald. History has a weird way of repeating itself, signifying Fitz should have another great game against the Eagles.

Sammy Watkins (@Redskins) or Michael Crabtree (vs. Packers)

The Case for Watkins: Tyrod Taylor to Watkins has proved to be lethal over the last few weeks. Since the team’s bye in Week 8, Watkins has scored five touchdowns and eclipsed 100 yards three times. He is the team’s best deep threat and Taylor loves to throw the go route. The Redskins have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, but more importantly, they rank in the top 15 in the NFL in passes of 20-plus and 40-plus yards. The speedy receiver in Buffalo has six catches of 40-plus yards this season, showcasing his big play ability. You play Mr. Watkins and you are hoping for the big strike. Watkins should be able to find the end zone in Week 15, cementing his status as a WR2.

The Case for Crabtree: Crabtree struggled against the Denver defense, as many expected. However, he should bounce back in a big way against a Green Bay defense that has allowed just eight touchdowns to opposing wide receivers through 13 games this season. The Green Bay offense is clicking, which bodes well for the Raiders to throw the ball early and often in this one. Despite Amari Cooper receiving a lot of the credit, it is Crabtree who has more targets and even more importantly, more red zone targets. Crabtree is a possession guy who needs to make the most of his receptions. If you look at his numbers over the last five games, he is averaging just 8.2 yards per catch. He will need to increase that number if he wants to produce for his fantasy owners in the playoffs.

The Verdict: Watkins. I’m a sucker for the big play and Watkins should be able to get behind the Washington secondary on at least one occasion on Sunday.

Tight Ends

Antonio Gates (vs. Dolphins) or Benjamin Watson (vs. Lions)

The Case for Gates: Among tight ends, Gates is tied with Jordan Reed for most red zone targets per game. However, he has just four touchdowns this season, only scoring in two games this season. Another thing he has going for him is that the San Diego receivers have been decimated by injuries, with at least one or two guys missing game action due to injuries. He remains a top option in the passing game and warrants must-start status every week. It’s tough that he doesn’t find the end zone all that much, and seeing as the Dolphins have allowed just four touchdowns to opposing tight ends this season, things could be tough for Gates in Week 15. Regardless, he is one of Philip Rivers' primary options and he is TE1 this week.

The Case for Watson: Among tight ends, Watson ranks in the top 10 in terms of targets, receptions, yards, touchdowns and fantasy points. At the beginning of the year, many, myself included, believed that Josh Hill would be the go-to tight end in New Orleans. Well, that was completely wrong because it’s been Watson. His seven receptions last week were his highest since hauling nine passes in Week 8 against the New York Giants. Luckily enough for Watson, he will draw the Detroit Lions this week, a team that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position this season. The Lions are one of three teams (Saints, Raiders) to allow double-digit touchdown passes to opposing tight ends this season. All signs point to Watson finding the end zone this week and he should be deployed as a TE1 in all formats.

The Verdict: Watson. The Lions allow a ton of touchdowns to opposing tight ends and I expect Brees to hook up with Watson at least once in Week 15.
