Plus, I’ll share my Week Fifteen WR rankings so you can see how these matchups translate into fantasy value. Let’s lock in those winning lineups and keep your championship hopes alive.

   
Left WR vs Right CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marvin HarrisonARI12.5 / 10.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kamari LassiterHOURisky
Marvin Harrison ended up missing last week due to a heel injury and has been a non-participant in practice to start this week as well. Harrison’s status will need to be monitored heading into the weekend but it’s a brutal matchup against the Texans secondary this week. Keep in mind that the last time Harrison made his return in Week 13, he immediately went back to being the second most targeted Cardinals pass catcher behind TE Trey McBride. If I had to guess, Harrison probably misses again this week, but he would likely be a low-end WR2 or high-end WR3 if active.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
David SillsATL2 / 2.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jamel DeanTBRisky
David Sills was targeted 4 times in Week 14 but was held without a catch and his touchdown luck finally ran out after catching touchdowns in back-to-back weeks. With no teams on bye, fantasy managers should have better options than Sills.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rashod BatemanBAL4.9 / 4.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Daxton HillCINModerate
Rashod Bateman finished last week with 2 catches for 23 yards on 3 targets. This was only the 4th time Bateman went over 20 receiving yards in a game this season and should be avoided by fantasy managers against a Bengals secondary that’s been stingy toward fantasy WRs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Gabe DavisBUF4 / 3.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian GonzalezNERisky
Gabe Davis finished with 2 receptions for 21 yards on 2 targets. Davis has had just 2 targets in three straight games and should be avoided in all formats. Despite being attached to one of the best QBs in the NFL, Khalil Shakir is the only WR that can be trusted on a weekly basis and it's been difficult to even trust him recently.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tetairoa McMillanCAR14 / 11.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Quincy RileyNOModerate
Coming out of the Panthers Week 14 bye, rookie Tetairoa McMillan currently leads all Carolina pass catchers with a 23.5% target share, and he’s the only WR with a target share above 15%. McMillan also has a team high 28.2% first read percentage and is the only Panthers WR that fantasy managers should be trusting on a weekly basis. I’ve got McMillan as a top 15 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Luther BurdenCHI6.8 / 5.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tyson CampbellCLESafe
Luther Burden led the Bears in receiving last week, finishing with 4 receptions for 67 yards on 6 targets. Burden has now had 6+ targets in back-to-back games, and 5+ targets in four straight. Teammate Rome Odunze who missed last week with a foot injury was a limited participant in practice to start the week, so his status will need to be monitored as it would factor into Burden’s outlook for this game. Working under the assumption that Odunze misses again this week, I’ll have Burden as a top 35 WR for Week 15. However, I think you have to move him down a few spots if Odunze is active.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Ja'Marr ChaseCIN19.8 / 15.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Chidobe AwuzieBALModerate
There’s not much that needs to be said here. Ja'Marr Chase is a must start every week regardless of matchup and the ceiling is even higher this week with teammate Tee Higgins expected to miss due to a concussion. Chase is a top 3 WR for me in Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jerry JeudyCLE7.6 / 6.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nahshon WrightCHISafe
Rookie TE Harold Fannin has been the #1 option in this Browns passing offense recently, but Jerry Jeudy has been operating as the next man up behind Fannin and had a solid game last week with 3 receptions for 76 yards and a TD on 5 targets. Jeudy has another solid matchup this week to build on this momentum, but he’s still a risky start. I’ve got Jeudy just inside my top 45 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
George PickensDAL19.8 / 16.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Isaiah RodgersMINModerate
George Pickens had a disappointing performance in Week 14 finishing with 5 receptions for just 37 yards on 9 targets, which is even more of a letdown when you consider the fact that star teammate CeeDee Lamb missed over half of the game after suffering a concussion. Pickens is still one of the most important components to one of the most pass heavy offenses and should be started each week regardless of matchup. Pickens is a top 10 WR for me in Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Courtland SuttonDEN13 / 10.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Carrington ValentineGBModerate
Courtland Sutton led Broncos receivers in Week 14 with 10 targets that he turned into 6 receptions for 62 yards. Sutton is looking like the clear top option in this passing offense once again after taking a backseat to Troy Franklin for a short period of time. Sutton has had at least 6 targets and 59 receiving yards in each of the last 3 games. It’s a tough matchup against the Packers this week, but I’ve got Sutton just inside my top 30 WRs.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jameson WilliamsDET13.2 / 11.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cobie DurantLARModerate
Jameson Williams was tied for the team lead with 9 targets and finished with 7 receptions for a team high 96 receiving yards last week against the Cowboys. Williams has now had 88+ receiving yards in 4 out of the last 5 games and is a borderline top 12 WR for me this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Romeo DoubsGB10.1 / 8.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Riley MossDENRisky
After being a consistent producer in the Packers passing offense to start the year, Doubs has seen his value tail off recently with just 6 receptions for 43 yards over the last three weeks and he was held without a catch for the first time all season last week against the Bears. If he couldn’t get it done against Chicago’s secondary last week I wouldn’t expect much success against Denver this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Nico CollinsHOU16.2 / 13.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Will JohnsonARIModerate
Nico Collins once again led the way for Texans pass catchers last week with 4 receptions for 121 yards on 8 targets. Nico has now had 8+ targets in 6 of his last 7 games and remains a must start regardless of matchup. I’ve got Nico just outside of my top 5 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Alec PierceIND11.8 / 10.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Riq WoolenSEARisky
Alec Pierce and the Colts passing offense would have been tough to trust against this tough Seahawks secondary if QB Daniel Jones hadn’t been lost for the season due to an Achilles injury, but they’re almost impossible to trust now that we’ll either have Riley Leonard or Philip Rivers fresh out of retirement leading the way for this Colts offense. I’ve got Pierce outside of my top 40 WRs this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brian ThomasJAC10.2 / 8.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Azareye'h ThomasNYJModerate
Brian Thomas was tied for second among Jaguars pass catchers with 6 targets and finished with 3 receptions for 87 yards. BTJ made the most of his 3 receptions, with 2 of them going for 30+ yards as he continues to stretch the field. While he’s not the #1 option fantasy managers were hoping for to start the year, he’s back into flex territory for me, just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marquise BrownKC9.3 / 7.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Donte JacksonLACRisky
Marquise Brown finished last week with 1 reception for 35 yards on 2 targets and has had 2 targets or less in three straight games. Brown should be avoided by fantasy managers in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jack BechLV2.5 / 2.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Quinyon MitchellPHIRisky
Jack Bech led Raiders WRs with 6 receptions for 50 yards on 6 targets and looks like he might be emerging as the second option behind TE Brock Bowers in the Vegas passing game after playing a season high 82% of snaps. It’s a less than ideal matchup against the Eagles secondary, and backup QB Kenny Pickett is likely to start with Geno Smith dealing with an injury. Despite the increased involvement, Bech should be avoided this week due to the matchup and backup QB play. I’ve got Bech outside of my top 60 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Quentin JohnstonLAC11.4 / 10.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nohl WilliamsKCRisky
Quentin Johnston finished with just 2 receptions for 8 yards on 3 targets in Week 15 and has now been under 25 receiving yards in 3 straight games. Johnston has been very difficult for fantasy managers to trust after a strong start to the season, and things won’t get any easier this week against the Chiefs. I’ve got Johnston outside of my top 45 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Davante AdamsLAR16.5 / 14.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
D.J. ReedDETSafe
The Rams offense is about as straight forward as it gets. You start Davante Adams and Puka Nacua every week regardless of matchup, and nobody else. I've got Adams as a top 10 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaylen WaddleMIA13.8 / 11.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Joey PorterPITRisky
The Dolphins WR room is also pretty straight forward, with Jaylen Waddle being the only WR that fantasy managers can trust on a weekly basis. Fantasy managers should be starting Waddle regardless of matchup. I’ve got Waddle as a top 10 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Justin JeffersonMIN12.6 / 10.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
DaRon BlandDALSafe
The struggles continued for Justin Jefferson last week who finished with just 2 receptions for 11 yards on 4 targets despite the plus matchup against the Commanders. All 3 of the Vikings receiving touchdowns went to the TE position and Jefferson has had 6 targets or less and 4 receptions or less in 3 straight games. It’s bizarre not to try to get one of the best WRs in the NFL more involved, but he has another great matchup in front of him yet again this week against the Cowboys. I’ve still got Jefferson just inside my top 15 WRs for this week despite his recent struggles.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Kayshon BoutteNE10.6 / 9.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian BenfordBUFRisky
Kayshon Boutte has been boom-or-bust for the majority of this season with his field stretching ability combined with Drake Maye’s tendency to spread the ball around. Boutte has had 2 targets or less in 3 of his last 5 games and has not had more than 35 receiving yards since Week 8. I’ve got Boutte just inside my top 50 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mason TiptonNO0.9 / 1.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaycee HornCARModerate
Mason Tipton was not targeted last week despite playing 45% of snaps and should be avoided by fantasy managers in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Darius SlaytonNYG7.4 / 6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike SainristilWASSafe
Darius Slayton has been a full-time player in the Giants offense for most of the season when healthy but hasn’t been someone that fantasy managers can rely on, with more than 4 receptions just once this season. The matchup is about as good as it gets this week, but I’ve got Slayton just outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Adonai MitchellNYJ5.2 / 4.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Greg NewsomeJACSafe
The Jets passing offense was a letdown last week after being held under 200 passing yards and Adonai Mitchell fantasy managers who chose to trust him after his big game felt that pain. Mitchell was targeted 6 times but finished with just 1 reception for 24 yards. He’s got a pretty good matchup ahead of him this week, but it’s hard to know what version of the Jets offense we’ll be getting this week with their entire QB room apparently dealing with injuries. I’ve got Mitchell just inside my top 40 WRs for week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
A.J. BrownPHI16.1 / 13.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darien PorterLVModerate
A.J. Brown has appeared to caught fire and has now had 100+ receiving yards in 3 straight games after finishing with 6 receptions for 100 yards on 13 targets last week. Brown has also had double digit targets in 4 straight games and is back in must start territory with this recent uptick in usage. I’ve got Brown as a top 10 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DK MetcalfPIT13.1 / 11.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jack JonesMIAModerate
DK Metcalf had his best game in quite some time last week where he had 7 receptions for 148 yards on 12 targets. This was the first time Metcalf had more than 55 receiving yards since Week 6 and his first game with double digit targets this season. This looked more like the involvement you would expect from a team that traded for and extended the WR prior to the season. I’ve got Metcalf as a top 24 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jauan JenningsSF10.7 / 8.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Marcus HarrisTENSafe
Jauan Jennings was looking like the 49ers WR leading up to their Week 14 bye, with 6 or more targets in 4 straight games. We’ll see if that remains to be the case as Ricky Pearsall continues to get more healthy, but Jennings has a great matchup this week against Tennessee. I’ve got Jennings as a top 24 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaSEA24 / 20.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Charvarius WardINDModerate
After having his first game of the season under 75 receiving yards on the entire season in Week 13, Jaxon Smith-Njigba bounced back to business as usual with 7 receptions for 92 yards and 2 touchdowns on 10 targets. JSN remains a must start and is a top 3 WR for me in Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mike EvansTB8.5 / 6.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
A.J. TerrellATLRisky
Mike Evans is expected to play this week for the first time since Week 7 after suffering a collarbone injury. However, it’s been reported that Evans isn’t expected to play every snaps and will likely just play key snaps throughout the game. It’s tough to know exactly what that means in terms of his total involvement, but it’s probably best to let this week play out before considering Evans as a starter for your fantasy team. I’ll likely have Evans as a borderline top 40 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Van JeffersonTEN4.1 / 3.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Renardo GreenSFModerate
Van Jefferson finished the Titans Week 14 matchup with 2 receptions for 17 yards on 4 targets. Jefferson has now had under 25 receiving yards in every game since Week 7 and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Terry McLaurinWAS11.5 / 9.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Paulson AdeboNYGSafe
Terry McLaurin was tied for the team lead with 6 targets last week and led Commanders pass catchers with 3 receptions for 41 yards. Staring QB Jayden Daniels was injured once again last week, so it’ll be backup Marcus Mariota starting for Washington in Week 15. McLaurin has a great matchup ahead of him this week and has had 20 targets over the last 2 weeks, so he’s a top 20 WR for me in Week 15.
   
   
Right WR vs Left CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Michael WilsonARI12.3 / 9.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Derek StingleyHOURisky
Michael Wilson had yet another impressive outing with Marvin Harrison out with another injury, finishing with catching 11 of his 16 targets for 142 yards and 2 touchdowns. Wilson has had 10+ receptions and 118+ receiving yards in 3 of the last 4 games but will face his toughest test since he was held under 65 receiving yards by Seattle in Week 10 whenever he plays Derek Stingley and the rest of the difficult Texans secondary this week. I’ll have Michael Wilson as a borderline top 15 WR if Marvin Harrison is inactive once again this week, but he’s someone you can consider sitting if MHJ is active.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Darnell MooneyATL5.5 / 4.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Zyon McCollumTBSafe
Darnell Mooney failed to take advantage of the absence of teammate Drake London last week, finishing with just 1 reception for 6 yards on 4 targets. It looks like TE Kyle Pitts might be the only Falcons pass catcher that fantasy managers can trust while London is out, but Mooney could still be a risky start with upside considering he should be a top 2-3 target in the offense with London already ruled out again for Week 15. Hopefully you’ve got better options, but I’ve got Mooney just outside of my top 40 WRs for this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Zay FlowersBAL13.2 / 10.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
DJ TurnerCINRisky
Zay Flowers looked more like the #1 option in this offense that we saw throughout the first 5 weeks of the season last week, finishing with 8 receptions for 124 yards on 11 targets, all of which were team highs. Flowers has a tough task ahead of him this week with DJ Turner likely to shadow him throughout the game. Turner has been one of the better shadow corners this season and has already limited Flowers to just 2 receptions for 6 yards a couple of weeks ago when these two teams last played. Flowers is still a borderline top 24 WR for me this week based on the volume I expect to go his way, but the matchup does have me concerned about his upside.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brandin CooksBUF3.2 / 2.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Carlton DavisNEModerate
I know you would expect to see Keon Coleman here, but Brandin Cooks actually out snapped Coleman last week but was not targeted despite playing 36% of snaps. Cooks should be avoided by fantasy managers in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier LegetteCAR6.8 / 5.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kool-Aid McKinstryNOSafe
Xavier Legette has a 14.7% target share on the season but has been held under 25 receiving yards in 5 of his last 6 games and should be avoided in all formats. If you HAVE to start another Panthers WR this week, I would go with Jalen Coker.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Olamide ZaccheausCHI6.1 / 5.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Denzel WardCLEModerate
Olamide Zaccheaus played over 60% of snaps for the first time since Week 10 due to the Rome Odunze injury but finished with just 2 receptions for 7 yards on 3 targets. He saved his day with a touchdown, but fantasy managers should avoid Zaccheaus even if Odunze is out once again this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mitch TinsleyCIN2.2 / 4.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nate WigginsBALModerate
Mitch Tinsley should see some additional snaps in Week 15 if Tee Higgins misses the game as expected but should be avoided by fantasy managers even if this is the case. Typically, when one of Higgins or Chase misses, the targets are spread around between Andrei Iosivas and TE Mike Gesicki.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Cedric TillmanCLE5.5 / 4.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylon JohnsonCHIModerate
Cedric Tillman finished with just 1 reception for 23 yards on 3 targets and has not had more than 3 receptions in a game since Week 1. Tillman should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
CeeDee LambDAL17.7 / 16.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Fabian MoreauMINModerate
CeeDee Lamb was on his way to a monster game last week, putting up 6 receptions for 121 yards on 8 targets playing just 46% of snaps before being knocked out of the game with a concussion. Lamb has been a limited participant in practice to start the week but still needs to clear concussion protocol before Sunday Night Football against a tough Vikings secondary. Lamb is one of those guys that you’re playing no matter what if he’s healthy. CeeDee will be a top 5 WR for me this week if he’s active.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Troy FranklinDEN10.9 / 8.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Keisean NixonGBRisky
Troy Franklin finished with just 3 receptions for 11 yards on 4 targets and has been held under 25 receiving yards in back-to-back games and his target share continues to drop as well. Last week was the first time Franklin had played less than 60% of snaps since Week 6 and he played just 26% of snaps last week. Pat Bryant appears to be the WR2 you want in Denver. Ideally, fantasy managers should avoid every WR outside of Sutton this week in the matchup against Green Bay.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Isaac TeSlaaDET3.4 / 4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Emmanuel ForbesLARModerate
A lot of fantasy managers were excited to start Isaac TeSlaa last week whenever teammate Amon-Ra St. Brown was expected to miss the game but that changed quickly when ARSB ended up being a surprise active for the game. TeSlaa finished with just 2 receptions for 20 yards on 3 targets but once again scored a touchdown despite the low volume. One of Amon-Ra St. Brown or Jameson Williams would need to be inactive for me to ever feel comfortable trusting Isaac TeSlaa.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Christian WatsonGB14.4 / 12.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Pat SurtainDENRisky
Christian Watson has come on strong recently and looks like the clear top WR in the Packers offense. We’ll have to see how the return of Jayden Reed affects that, but Watson has had 80+ receiving yards in back-to-back weeks and has scored 3 TDs over the last two weeks as well. As good as things have been recently, fantasy managers will want to see if they have better options this week with Watson drawing one of the most difficult matchups in the league against the Broncos secondary. I’ve still got Watson ranked as my highest Packers WR, but he’s barely inside my top 24 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jayden HigginsHOU7.6 / 6.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Denzel BurkeARIModerate
Rookie Jayden Higgins continues to fill the role as the Texans WR2 behind Nico Collins and has seen 5+ targets in 5 straight games which has given him a pretty solid floor over that span. Higgins is a borderline top 40 WR for me in Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Michael PittmanIND14.3 / 11.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Josh JobeSEARisky
Michael Pittman bounced back from his down game in Week 13 with 9 receptions for 79 yards on 12 targets last week, but his value has to take a hit after the injury to QB Daniel Jones that will keep him out for the remainder of the season. I’ve still got Pittman as my highest ranked WR, just inside the top 40, but he’s no longer a must start due to Jones’ injury and the matchup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jakobi MeyersJAC11.5 / 9.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Brandon StephensNYJModerate
Jakobi Meyers led all Jacksonville pass catchers with 10 targets that resulted in 4 receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown. Meyers has seen at least 6 targets in four straight games and has caught a touchdown in three straight games as well. Meyers is my highest ranked Jaguars WR this week, just inside my top 20.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier WorthyKC8.9 / 7.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cam HartLACModerate
Xavier Worthy finished with 3 receptions for a team-high 55 receiving yards on 4 targets against a tough Texans secondary last week. Worthy has another tough matchup against this week, and continues to be a low volume, high yards per reception player in this Chiefs offense since Rashee Rice has returned. I’ve got Worthy just outside of my top 40 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tre TuckerLV10.8 / 9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Adoree' JacksonPHIModerate
Tre Tucker finished with 2 receptions for 24 yards on 5 targets last week and has now had under 30 receiving yards in 4 of his last 5 games. With backup QB Kenny Pickett getting the start and the difficult matchup against the Eagles, Tucker should be avoided in all formats. I’ve got Tucker outside of my top 55 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Keenan AllenLAC11.9 / 9.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylen WatsonKCModerate
Keenan Allen caught all 3 of his targets last week against the Eagles, but finished with just 22 receiving yards on the day. This was Allen’s first game with less than 5 targets all season in what was a challenging day for the Chargers passing offense as whole. Things won’t get any easier this week against the Chiefs, so I’ve got Allen outside of my top 50 WRs for the week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Puka NacuaLAR22.7 / 18.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Rock Ya-SinDETSafe
There’s nothing to say here. If Puka Nacua is healthy, you start him regardless of the matchup. I’ve got Puka as a top 3 WR for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-IkhineMIA1.5 / 1.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
James PierrePITModerate
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-Ikhine was not targeted for the third straight game in Week 14 and has still failed to eclipse 25 receiving yards once this season. Fantasy managers should stay away in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jordan AddisonMIN11.4 / 9.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Shavon RevelDALSafe
Jordan Addison led all Vikings pass catchers with 7 targets last week and finished with 4 receptions for 62 yards. This marks consecutive weeks with Addison leading the Vikings in targets and he has a great matchup ahead of him against Dallas where he could have a solid day if the targets continue to come his way. I’ve got Addison inside my top 35 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mack HollinsNE7.3 / 6.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tre'Davious WhiteBUFModerate
Mack Hollins continues to play a full-time role in the Patriots offense but has had just 5 receptions and 53 receiving yards over the last 2 weeks combined. I’ve got Hollins outside of my top 60 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Devaughn VeleNO4.5 / 5.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike JacksonCARModerate
Devaughn Vele finished with 3 receptions for 40 yards on 5 targets and was the only Saints WR other than Chris Olave to catch a pass lats week. Vele has now had at least 5 targets in 3 straight games and is the clear WR2 for New Orleans. I’ve got Vele just outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Isaiah HodginsNYG8.1 / 6.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jonathan JonesWASSafe
Isaiah Hodgins has had just a combined 3 receptions over the last 2 weeks and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
John MetchieNYJ4.3 / 4.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Montaric BrownJACModerate
John Metchie had a team high 8 targets in Week 14 but finished with 4 receptions for just 34 yards. Metchie has had 7+ targets in 3 straight games but that hasn’t resulted in much production due to how poor this offense is currently running. I’ve got Metchie just inside my top 50 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jahan DotsonPHI3 / 2.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Eric StokesLVModerate
Jahan Dotson hasn’t had more than 2 receptions since Week 1 and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Marquez Valdes-ScantlingPIT1.3 / 1.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Rasul DouglasMIAModerate
Marquez Valdes-Scantling was activated from the practice squad last week and ended up playing 31% of snaps but was held without a catch on one target. Steelers WRs not named DK Metcalf should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Ricky PearsallSF9.4 / 7.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darrell BakerTENSafe
Ricky Pearsall had a strong start to the season but has struggled to get things going after returning from injury. Pearsall has had 2 receptions or less in all 3 games since his return and has yet to have more than 20 receiving yards. You have to think things will get better for Pearsall given how good he looked to start the year, but it’s tough to trust right now until we see it. I’ve got Pearsall just inside my top 50 WRs, mostly due to the matchup and his big play ability.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rashid ShaheedSEA9.7 / 7.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylon JonesINDSafe
Rashid Shaheed had his best game yet with his new team after finishing with 4 receptions for 67 yards on 5 targets. Shaheed was still 3rd among Seahawks WRs in routes run but was more involved than teammate Cooper Kupp for the first time. Shaheed has some upside as a dart throw this week due to the matchup and his recent increased involvement in the Seahawks offense. I’ve got Shaheed just inside my top 50 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Emeka EgbukaTB14 / 12
CornerbackOppMatchup
Mike HughesATLSafe
The targets continue to be there for Emeka Egbuka, but the production hasn’t been. Egbuka had a team-high 9 targets last week but finished with just 2 receptions for 15 yards. Egbuka has now had less than 50 receiving yards in 4 straight games but it’s hard to bench him whenever he’s seen 8+ targets in all 4 of those games. I’ve still got Egbuka just outside of my top 24 WRs for Week 15.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Elic AyomanorTEN6.9 / 5.7
CornerbackOppMatchup

Elic Ayomanor was targeted 3 times last week and finished with 1 reception for 14 yards, but thankfully that one reception also resulted in a touchdown for the fantasy managers that had to start him. Hopefully nobody has been relying on Ayomanor, who has had less than 15 receiving yards in 3 straight games. It’s best to continue to avoid this Titans passing offense.

Noah Brown saw his first game action since Week 2 and finished with 1 reception for 19 yards on 2 targets after playing 62% of snaps. Brown should be avoided by fantasy managers in all formats.

Khalil Shakir was targeted 3 times in Week 13 but finished with just 2 receptions for 16 yards. He ended up saving his fantasy day with a touchdown but now has just 3 receptions for 21 yards over the last two weeks. Shakir has had a pretty safe floor for the majority of the year, but even that hasn’t been present in 3 out of the last 4 weeks. I’ve got Shakir just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 15.

Josh WallaceLARModerate
Amon-Ra St. Brown was widely expected to miss last week with an ankle injury all the way up to the point he was spotted warming up prior to the Lions Thursday Night Football game when it was announced he would be active. St. Brown then went right back to business as usual, tied for the team lead with 9 targets and finishing with 6 receptions for 92 yards. St. Brown remains a must start regardless of matchup and is a top 5 WR for me this week.

Tarheeb StillLACRisky
Struggles were expected for the Chiefs offense last week given the matchup against the Texans, and Rashee Rice fantasy managers felt it after he finished with just 4 receptions for 34 yards despite being targeted a team high 8 times. The good news is that the targets are still there, the bad news is that Rice has another tough matchup this week against the Chargers. Rice is still a must-start top 10 WR for me regardless of matchup.

Chamarri ConnerKCSafe
Ladd McConkey was targeted 5 times in Week 14 but finished with just 1 reception for 12 yards in what was a tough day for the Chargers passing offense as a whole with QB Justin Herbert under pressure the entire game and dealing with an injury to his non-throwing hand. McConkey is dealing with an injury of his own, limited in practice with a foot injury to start the week. His status will need to be monitored throughout the week, but he’ll be my highest ranked Chargers WR this week if he’s active. I’ll likely have McConkey as a borderline top 20 WR for Week 15.

Stefon Diggs still leads all Patriots pass catchers with a 20.1% target share despite having just 7 targets over his last two games prior to the Patriots Week 14 bye. Diggs had his best game of the season the last time the Patriots played the Bills, and he remains my highest ranked Patriots WR this week, just inside the top 24.

Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele were the only Saints WRs to catch a pass in Week 14, with Olave finishing with 3 receptions for 30 yards on 5 targets. It was a disappointing day for Olave compared to his standards, and the first time this year he’s had less than 50 receiving yards in back-to-back games. I’ve still got Olave as a borderline top 15 WR due to his involvement in the offense.

Wan’Dale Robinson is coming out of the Giants Week 14 bye with a team high 26% target share and remains the only Giants pass catcher that you can trust on a weekly basis. Wan’Dale has had 8+ targets in 5 straight games and is a top 20 WR for me this week against the Commanders.

DeVonta Smith finished 3rd among Eagles pass catchers with 8 targets that resulted in 4 receptions for 37 yards. The up and down season continues for Smith, but he has had 8+ targets in three straight games. If the volume continues to be there this week, Smith could be in a good position for a bounce back game against a Raiders secondary that can be beat in the slot. I’ve got Smith inside my top 20 WRs for Week 15.

Chris Godwin led all Tampa Bay pass catchers with 5 receptions for 55 yards on 8 targets last week. Godwin’s involvement in this offense continues to grow, with his targets and receptions increasing each week over the last 3 games. Mike Evans also getting ready to return from injury will only make things more difficult to navigate, but he likely won’t be a full-time player this week. I’ve got Godwin just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 15.

Deebo Samuel was tied for the team lead with 6 targets but finished with 4 receptions for just 27 yards on the day. Deebo has had 6+ targets in three straight games and could become even more important to the Commanders passing offense after the season-ending injury to TE Zach Ertz. I’ve got Deebo inside my top 30 WRs for Week 15.
