Without further ado, let’s dive into the Week 15 DFS WR Coach, exclusively at Fantasy Alarm!

NFL DFS Week 15 WR Coach for Fanduel & DraftKings Fantasy

I’ll be honest. I love the slate this week, and there are some good values on both sites that should allow you to get one or two of the elite options at the board, without sacrificing too much! After sifting through the data and crunching the numbers, I’ve identified my favorite plays at the position this week, and there should be a receiver or two at every price point to give you plenty of options when building your NFL DFS lineups this week, headlined by Puka Nacua and Stefon Diggs.

NFL Week 15 Wide Receivers

Quick notes on the slate:

  • 4 games with a total of 47+ points

NFL DFS WR Top Tier Picks for Week 15

A.J. Brown, Philadelphia Eagles - DraftKings: $6,800 | FanDuel: $8,200

I have some concerns about the game script in this one, as it seems very likely that Philly runs away with this one. However, could it be an opportunity to get Kevin Patullo some confidence? Could it be an opportunity to get Jalen Hurts back on track after a rough Week 14? Brown has been the go-to guy over the last four games, posting 97.8 yards per game, 2.85 yards per route run, and is the WR3 in PPR, per FantasyPoints Data. Furthermore, he’s set to destroy Las Vegas’ single-high heavy defense, as he has registered 2.99 yards per route run against single-high looks in 2025, per FantasyPoints Data.

Rashee Rice, Kansas City Chiefs - DraftKings: $7,700 | FanDuel: $8,700

Rice underwhelmed against Houston, but that’s one of the best secondaries (and defenses) in football. The Chargers are stingy, too, but Rice profiles better against a two-high heavy defense, like the Chargers, as opposed to a single-high dominant team, like the Texans. Against two-high looks, Rice has 3.32 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints Data, and with the Chargers loving to sit in zone, that profiles well for Rice as well, as he has a 3.50 yards per route run mark against zone. He has at least seven targets in every game this season, with 80+ yards in over half of his games.

Ja'Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals - DraftKings: $8,100 | FanDuel: $9,200

Chase just continues to get it done against the Ravens for his career. He’s recorded 12+ targets and 110+ yards in three straight games against the Ravens, and that streak could extend to four in this one. Tee Higgins is dealing with concussion symptoms, and Chase has an excellent 2.11 yards per route run and 0.37 targets per route run against single-high safety looks, per FantasyPoints Data. The Bengals like to throw the ball, and opponents have the ninth-highest pass rate over expectation against the Ravens over the last five weeks! Wheels up for Chase in what should be another high-scoring Cincinnati game!

Nico Collins, Houston Texans - DraftKings: $6,700 | FanDuel: $8,300

Collins is averaging 91.5 yards per game over his last four, not to mention holding a 21.9% target share, 14.0 average depth of target (aDOT), and 2.93 yards per route run, per FantasyPoints Data. C.J. Stroud isn’t the greatest against two-high shells, but Collins has a respectable 1.98 yards per route run and 0.26 targets per route run against those looks this season, both of which are team bests, per FantasyPoints Data. Arizona’s pass-happy, and if the Houston defense holds, there should be numerous possessions for the Texans offense. I will note, Stroud is notoriously better when playing at home, and Collins has 18.9 expected fantasy points per game at home this season, compared to 14.8 on the road, per FantasyPoints Data.

 

 

 

NFL DFS WR Mid-Tier Picks for NFL Week 15

Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions - DraftKings: $6,100 | FanDuel: $6,300

Amon-Ra St. Brown is always a fine play, and he’s actually been better than Jameson Williams against zone coverage. However, over the last five weeks, Williams is averaging 6.4 targets and 83.4 yards per game, along with 2.50 yards per route run, 19.86 yards per reception, and 5.0 yards per target over expectation, per FantasyPoints Data. The Rams boast a strong defense, but they’ve allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to perimeter receivers over the last six weeks, per FantasyPoints.

Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers - DraftKings: $6,400 | FanDuel: $7,200

Here’s some hard-hitting analysis for you: McConkey has scored in every other game the past eight weeks. If that trend continues, this will be a week where he finds the end zone, since he didn’t score in Week 14. Beyond that, it’s not the best matchup against the Chiefs, but Trent McDuffie got banged up last week, and the Chiefs have allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to perimeter receivers over the last six weeks, per FantasyPoints Data. Furthermore, we know Steve Spagnuolo loves to blitz every chance he gets, and on blitzes, McConkey has a 23.6% target share, 2.12 yards per route run, and a team-high 25% first read rate, per FantasyPoints Data. Back in Week 1, he caught six of nine targets for 74 yards against the team’s divisional foe.

Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders - DraftKings: $5,400 | FanDuel: $7,100

McLaurin is averaging 10 targets per game over the last two weeks, and this week’s matchup against the Giants is far easier than either of his last two (vs. Denver, @ Minnesota). The Giants have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to receivers over the last four weeks, and the ninth-most to perimeter wideouts for the season. The Giants continue to play a bunch of single-high looks, and McLaurin has posted 2.79 yards per route run and 0.31 targets per route run against single-high safety looks in 2025, per FantasyPoints Data.

Wan’Dale Robinson, New York Giants - DraftKings: $5,900 | FanDuel: $5,800

In eight Jaxson Dart starts this season, despite an underwhelming 5.9 aDOT, Robinson has a solid 26.2% target share, 7.8 targets per game, and a 28.3% first read rate, per FantasyPoints Data. I’ll just be honest. This matchup rules for Robinson and the entire New York passing attack. Robinson has taken nearly 70 percent of his routes from the slot across those eight Dart starts, and Washington has been one of the worst teams against slot receivers this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game.

 

 

 

NFL Week 15 DFS WR Value Picks

Rashid Shaheed, Seattle Seahawks - DraftKings: $4,600 | FanDuel: $5,600

I won’t fault anyone for going with Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but with no Sauce Gardner and likely no Charvarius Ward, Shaheed could get loose for a big play. He posted four grabs for 67 yards last week, and no Gardner or Ward could compromise the Colts when in man coverage against Shaheed’s speed. Take a shot on the upside with Shaheed against a Colts team that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position over the last four weeks.

Jauan Jennings, San Francisco 49ers - DraftKings: $5,200 | FanDuel: $6,200

With two excellent run defenders in T’Vondre Sweat and Jeffrey Simmons in the middle, it’s tough to run on the Titans, which is why the Titans have the second-highest pass rate over expectation against them over the last five weeks, per FantasyPoints Data. Jennings has four touchdowns over his last five games, while averaging 4.6 receptions and 49.2 yards per game over the last five. Looking under the hood a bit more, he has a 10.4 aDOT, 21.2% target share, and 30.7% first read rate, per FantasyPoints Data! The Titans have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to perimeter receivers over the last six weeks, and nearly three-fourths of his snaps over the last five weeks have come on the perimeter.

Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans - DraftKings: $4,300 | FanDuel: $5,500

Since the team’s bye in Week 11, Dike leads the Titans with a 22.1% first-read rate, 15.2% target share, and fantasy points per game (8.3), per FantasyPoints Data. Nearly two-thirds of his routes have come from the slot, and San Francisco has allowed the most fantasy points per game to slot receivers over the last six weeks, per FantasyPoints Data, as well as for the entire season! No corner has allowed more receptions or yards in slot coverage than Upton Stout, per PFF. The upside is limited given the state of the Tennessee offense, but he does offer some intrigue as he gets the chance to score on returns, too.

 

 

 

NFL DFS WR Fade for Week 15

Zay Flowers, Baltimore Ravens - DraftKings: $6,300 | FanDuel: $7,300

We faded Flowers against the Bengals a few weeks back, and we’ll do it again here. Yes, the Cincinnati defense stinks, but it’s primarily everyone other than wide receivers that have hurt them. In fact, no team has allowed fewer fantasy points per game to wideouts over the last four weeks than the Cincinnati Bengals! Furthermore, Flowers has been primarily lining up out wide over the last month, but check out these numbers for the Bengals when it comes to defending perimeter wide receivers over the last six weeks:

  • 2nd-fewest fantasy points per game
  • 2nd-fewest receptions
  • 3rd-fewest receiving yards
  • 3rd-fewest yards per target
  • 0 touchdowns allowed

 

 

 

NFL Week 15 WR Plays of The Week

Puka Nacua, Los Angeles Rams - DraftKings: $8,700 | FanDuel: $9,700

The most expensive receiver on the slate as the play of the week? Really bold, Colby. Nacua has been elite all year, and while we’ve gone after the price savings with Davante Adams in recent weeks - while acknowledging that Nacua is still a great play - I’m ready to pay up for Nacua this week. Detroit plays a ton of man coverage and a bunch of single-high safety looks, and Nacua has posted 3.90 yards per route run against man coverage this season, along with 4.68 yards per route run against single-high safeties, per FantasyPoints Data. Amongst wide receivers with 200 routes run on the season, those rank second and first in the NFL, per FantasyPoints Data. This is the highest scoring game on the slate, and I’m not afraid to pay up for the expensive piece of the Rams side, especially given the fact that no team has allowed more fantasy points per game to opposing receivers over the last four weeks than the Lions.

Stefon Diggs, New England Patriots - DraftKings: $6,000 | FanDuel: $6,400

I couldn’t pick just one, because I love this price point for Diggs so freakin’ much. Hey, it’s my article, I can do what I want! Revenge game, anyone? Can we call it that still? Nonetheless, back in Week 5, Diggs caught 10 or 12 targets for 146 yards against the Bills, all of which are still season highs for the veteran receiver. Over the last six weeks, Buffalo has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers, and the three games that Diggs has lined up the most in the slot are his three most recent games! New England is getting him in the slot, and he’s caught 79.4% of his slot targets this season, while posting 10.5 yards per reception and a 101.5 passer rating when targeted, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). Furthermore, Diggs has 2.04 yards per route run and a team-best 0.46 fantasy points per route run against two-high shells, which Buffalo runs at the third-highest rate in the NFL, per FantasyPoints Data.
