Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard (foot) is officially questionable to play against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. The veteran had missed two consecutive practices before returning in a limited capacity on Friday. He has been a steady offensive contributor in his age-31 season, catching 29 passes for 287 yards and one touchdown over 11 games. He has been particularly productive lately with at least four catches in each of his last three contests. Although he's a veteran pass-catcher in a productive offense, Shepard will be tough to trust in fantasy football if he plays this week. Not only does he rank 83rd among wide receivers in total fantasy points this year, but he's going up against a strong Chargers defense that has allowed fifth-fewest receptions to the position.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams saw eight targets in his last game against the Green Bay Packers which were his most targets since Week 2 of this season. He will look to continue his involvement in the passing game with another good performance in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. Williams has been getting more involved in the Lions passing attack each week since his suspension in Weeks 8 and 9. The activity of Williams in the passing game bodes well for his fantasy outlook, especially with his big-play ability. One big play can turn Williams's fantasy day into a successful one. The Bills have an above-average pass defense so it won't be an easy matchup but Williams lines up as a high-upside play at the wide receiver position in fantasy.

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen is expected to see his workload decrease heading into Week 15 of the NFL season. Allen broke out with 11 carries for 43 rushing yards last Sunday, plus four catches for an additional 38 yards through the air. However, he had earned these additional opportunities by stepping up with Breece Hall (knee) sidelined. In the loss to Miami, Allen and Isaiah Davis split touches. This weekend, though, Hall is expected to play. He might not be 100 percent, so Allen should still earn several carries, but the rookie's workload likely isn't large enough to justify starting him in fantasy football. Even against a team like the Jaguars, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs, Allen is best viewed as a high-end RB4.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has put together an impressive stretch of performances over the last three weeks, and he'll look to remain heavily involved and productive against the New England Patriots in Week 15. In each of his last three contests, Wilson has played at least 82 percent of the snaps. During that three-game span, he has nine catches for 166 yards and one touchdown. While the 25-year-old doesn't possess the same flashiness as Marvin Harrison Jr., he has still shown his value within the Cardinals' offense by delivering consistent production and demonstrating some deep-threat ability. Managers can justify starting him as a WR3/FLEX option, especially against a Patriots defense allowing the 11th-most catches to wide receivers in 2024.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a bit quiet the past three weeks compared to his own lofty standards. St. Brown torched the Jacksonville Jaguars defense in Week 11 for 11 catches, 161 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns but has not scored a receiving touchdown in the three weeks since then. In the past three games he has seven, seven, and six targets so he is still involved in the offensive game plan. The Bills defense ranks 11th-best against opposing receivers in fantasy points allowed this season. St. Brown should be heavily involved from a target standpoint as the Lions try to work him back into the mix and help him find the end zone. The Lions' passing game should lean on St. Brown, so he is looking like a decent bet to return to form.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs faces a Buffalo Bills defense in Week 15 which is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. While he splits time with David Montgomery in the Lions' backfield, Gibbs is heavily involved in the passing game and has the ability to break long runs with his superior speed. The Lions should lean on the rushing attack in this matchup of heavyweights and Gibbs should feature heavily in the game plan. In his last six games, the talented running back has four rushing touchdowns and a receiving touchdown. Continued success is likely for Gibbs in this matchup with a big play or two likely against the Bills leaky run defense (or in the receiving game). Fantasy managers are likely starting Gibbs with confidence each week and this week should be more of the same.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has scored a rushing touchdown in four of his last five games and look for him to continue that streak in Week 15 in a home matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Splitting time with Jahmyr Gibbs in the backfield, Montgomery is a big threat to score each week even though he hasn't racked up 100-yard rushing games. The bruising running back has one game this season of more than 100 rushing yards but has 12 rushing touchdowns. He is coming off a game against Green Bay in which he caught a season-high five passes. More involvement in the passing game plus his likelihood to score makes him a solid play for fantasy playoff matchups. The Bills give up the third most fantasy points to opposing running backs so look for the Lions to lean on the ground game in this key matchup.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson still has not found the end zone in the 2024 campaign. With that being said, he is still the second option in the passing game behind CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) and is set to take on Carolina's 32nd-ranked defense against opposing tight ends. Ferguson has a low floor but also a potentially high ceiling this week as he continues to search for his first touchdown of the 2024 campaign. With how shallow the tight end position is, he can be started.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff faces a difficult matchup with the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. The Bills have allowed the fourth fewest points to opposing fantasy quarterbacks this season. Goff is coming off a three-touchdown performance in the Lions' win over the Green Bay Packers but could find the going more difficult this week even though he is indoors at Ford Field. In his past six contests, Goff has two games with more than two passing touchdowns and three games with more than 250 passing yards. The signal caller will look to build off of momentum from his last game against the Packers as the 12-1 Lions host the 10-3 Bills. Look for the Lions to attack Buffalo on the ground with the duo of David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs. Goff could surprise in a key matchup but will slot in as a mid-ranked quarterback in Week 15.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey was perfect again last week in the narrow loss to Cincinnati, drilling 2-of-2 field goal attempts and 2-of-2 extra point attempts. He draws a good matchup this week against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. Even with how inefficient the offense has been with Cooper Rush under center, Dallas is bound to score some points in Week 15. Aubrey is a safe option against Carolina.

From RotoBaller

The Dallas Cowboys defense has looked a bit more like the 2023 version of themselves over the past few weeks, but this unit is still prone to giving up big plays. They draw a surging Carolina Panthers team with an improving quarterback in Bryce Young in Week 15. After surrendering 27 points and 433 yards to Cincinnati in Week 14, linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) and safety Juanyeh Thomas (knee) are already ruled out with linebacker Eric Kendricks (shoulder), cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee), special-teamer C.J. Goodwin (hamstring) and cornerback Jourdan Lewis (hamstring) all listed as questionable. The defense has a high ceiling and a low floor in Week 15 in a game where Carolina is favored for the first time in over two years. Play them at your own risk.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle (knee) fully practiced all week but was on the injury report as a full participant. He will enter Week 15's matchup with the Carolina Panthers with no injury designation. Carolina has allowed the most points to the running back position this season, making Dowdle an RB1 option coming off of back-to-back 100-yard rushing performances. Fantasy managers should not hesitate to plug him into lineups this week.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is not in consideration to slot into starting lineups this week with all weapons looking healthy for the team. CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) and Jake Ferguson are both good to go, making Cooks the third option in a low-ceiling passing attack despite a decent matchup with Carolina's secondary. The veteran is a touchdown-dependent option and he has scored a touchdown in each of the last two games. Given that, he does not have a high ceiling as he has recorded just 19 yards over the last two games.

From RotoBaller

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Cooper Rush is coming off of a shaky performance against Cincinnati. The career backup is in low QB2 range this week against a Carolina Panthers' defense that has slowly improved since an atrocious start to the season. Even so, it is still one of the league's worst defensive units. With that being said, Rush showed last week that he cannot be trusted even in the softest of matchups. With a further beaten up offensive line, Rush should not be started this week.

The Seattle Seahawks D/ST has enjoyed a nice run since they came out of their Week 10 bye. The unit has been a starting-caliber D/ST for four straight games. However, that could all change in Week 15 when the team hosts the Green Bay Packers. The Seahawks' kryptonite all season has been stopping the run. They have been significantly better since their bye, but the Packers have one of the best running games in the league. The Packers offense as a whole is excellent having scored 30 or more points in three straight games. As such, the Seahawks D/ST has a tall task ahead. If they can shut down the run, then they might be able to force quarterback Jordan Love into a couple of mistakes that could boost their value. Even so, that is a serious risk to take during the fantasy playoffs. You'll likely be able to find a better streaming option this week.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant is not in a position to help your team in Week 15. The Seahawks will host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football. While the Packers are No. 25 against opposing tight ends in fantasy, Fant does not see consistent enough volume to merit serious fantasy consideration. With no bye weeks left this season, there are plenty of tight ends that should be able to at least deliver Fant's typical six fantasy points. Fant is important as a chain mover for Seattle's offense. However, that success does not translate to fantasy football. Although he did miss three games this season, Fant is still the TE31. That is not a number that inspires much confidence for a position where you only start one player. Leave Fant to waivers and look for more upside in your tight end spot this week.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith checks in as a QB2 in Week 15. The Seahawks will host the Green Bay Packers this week who have been tough against the pass all season. Smith has enjoyed a nice year statistically. He has thrown for 3,474 yards while completing 69.5% of his passes. He has even cut down on interceptions lately having only thrown two in the past four games. His issue has been touchdowns. Smith has only thrown 14 touchdown passes this season. That does not project to improve against an excellent Packers secondary. The Seahawks have been far more balanced on offense lately. They have not asked Smith to throw the ball more than 34 times in a game since Week 6. Seattle's defense has played better which has allowed time for the offense to operate. The Seahawks are winning games as a result. With all the recent success, do not expect the Seahawks to change their strategy. Smith has a solid baseline of 12 to 13 fantasy points. However, his upside is severely limited, especially in a tough matchup.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers has found a lot of recent success. He has scored double-digit fantasy points in three of his last four games. Myers has not missed a field goal since Week 5, which has allowed him to avoid incurring negative points. The Seahawks will face a solid defense in the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. The Packers could make it difficult for the Seahawks to get into scoring positions, but the Seahawks defense has succeeded in giving them a lot of short fields lately. The offensive efficiency has been solid since the team's Week 10 bye so Myers should at least be in a position to kick field goals. With his accuracy and big leg, Myers has an excellent chance to reach 10 fantasy points in Week 15. 10 points from your kicker is a significant boost during the fantasy playoffs. As such, if you need potential upside, Myers is a solid kicker streamer this week.

From RotoBaller

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett is the forgotten man in the offense. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba breaking out and DK Metcalf (shoulder) healthy, Lockett is an afterthought. Lockett was blanked on the box score in Week 14 and very well could be again in Week 15. The Seahawks host the No. 9 defense against opposing wide receivers in fantasy when the Green Bay Packers come to town in Week 15. Lockett has not garnered more than four targets in a game since Week 7. The Seahawks have consolidated targets among the running backs and the aforementioned top two wide receivers. The tactic is working as the team now sits atop the NFC West with a one-game lead. Lockett should now be on waivers for your fantasy playoff run. He is not worth taking the roster spot of a player who could help your team. As long as Lockett's volume remains this low, he will not be a fantasy option.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints tight end Foster Moreau has not been a fantasy asset so far this season and that trend will continue into Week 15. Moreau's receiving production is so light that he has hit double-digit PPR points in just one game this season despite scoring a touchdown in three separate games. The fact that New Orleans' wide receivers have been banged up for most of the season and Taysom Hill (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 13 has little bearing on Moreau's utility in fantasy. Moreau is primarily used as a blocker and he has not seen more than four targets in a game this season or a red zone target since Week 10. Furthermore, quarterback Derek Carr (concussion, hand) is listed as doubtful, giving Jake Haener the chance to make his first NFL start. Moreau has flashed his hands on chunk plays here and there in 2024 but is not consistent enough to plug into lineups with confidence. He is an easy fade as the fantasy playoffs begin.
