A week after getting torched by the Los Angeles Rams, the Buffalo Bills defense/special teams gets an even tougher matchup in Week 15. The Detroit Lions average 32.1 points per game, the most in the NFL. The sportsbooks project a high-scoring affair between these two teams, plus Jared Goff rarely throws interceptions (outside of his five-pick game in Week 10). The Bills DST should not be started in Week 15. However, they have two favorable matchups (vs. New England and New York Jets) in the coming weeks. Fantasy managers can stash the Bills DST now for Weeks 16 and 17.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore caught just three passes for 34 yards in a Week 14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has a chance to turn in a much bigger outing in Week 15's home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been susceptible to the pass this season, allowing the 15th-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. The Browns will also be without Cedric Tillman (concussion) while David Njoku (hamstring) appears to be on the wrong side of questionable after missing practice all week. If Njoku does not play, Moore slots in as a solid WR3 for fantasy leagues. Even if Njoku ultimately ends up playing, Moore is still worth considering in starting lineups as a flex/WR4 type.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has finished as a TE1 in six of his last eight games and enters one of his best months in Week 15. The Ravens take on the New York Giants who have been stout against opposing tight ends as they've given up the second-fewest fantasy points per game at 6.9 per game in half-PPR leagues. Andrews, however, tends to feast in the month of December as he averages 13.95 yards per reception, 61.1 yards per game, 9.36 yards per target, and 4.4 receptions per game. He's also scored 15 touchdowns in 27 games against NFC opponents. Andrews has a TE1 ceiling again, especially after finding his rhythm with Lamar Jackson again.

Unsurprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs ruled out wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) from Week 15 action on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. Brown had his 21-day practice window opened on Friday to be activated from Injured Reserve. He was listed as a limited participant in his first official practice of the year after needing surgery for a shoulder injury he suffered back in the preseason. The 27-year-old will need to continue to make progress, and if he does, he could be on track to make his Chiefs debut next weekend against the Houston Texans. Brown joined the Chiefs in the offseason and was expected to be one of quarterback Patrick Mahomes' top targets. Hollywood is probably worth stashing if you have the room in fantasy leagues and continue to advance in the playoffs, but KC is going to play it safe with Brown, so temper expectations if he returns in Week 16.

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins saw his accuracy issues continue in a Week 14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers as he missed both of his field-goal attempts. Hopkins will look to bounce back at home in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been stingy against kickers this season, allowing the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. Hopkins himself hasn't done much to earn the trust of fantasy gamers this season, making just 16 of his 25 attempts over 14 games. He should not be in starting lineups for fantasy gamers in Week 15.

The Cleveland Browns defense struggled in a Week 14 loss, allowing the Pittsburgh Steelers to score 27 points. They will look to bounce back at home against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. While the 2024 version of the Chiefs offense isn't as explosive as years past, this is still a dangerous offense led by Patrick Mahomes that is averaging 23.7 points per game, 11th-best in the NFL. The Cleveland defense has taken a huge step back this season after being a dominant fantasy unit last season and should not be considered a strong starting option for Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan put together his best performance of the season during last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The rookie wideout hauled in four of his seven targets for 59 yards and two touchdowns in the victory. McMillan came out of nowhere and put together a career-game, but fantasy managers shouldn't jump on the bandwagon just yet. Before this game, McMillan had only two performances with over 30 receiving yards. This looks more like a fluke-game than McMillan finally becoming a reliable fantasy option. Fantasy managers should consider McMillan a boom-or-bust flex option for the Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White took over as the lead back after Bucky Irving (back, hip) was forced to exit early last week. White took advantage of the extra snaps as he rushed 17 times for 90 yards and scored a touchdown on the ground. He also hauled in two of his three targets for 19 yards and an additional score through the air. White has now rushed for over 75 yards in each of the last two games, which is great to see after his sluggish start to the season. The Bucs are uncertain if Irving is going to play against the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend. If he sits, White would end up as the lead back and would move into the RB2 conversation for Week 15. Otherwise, White would fall into flex territory if Irving is able to suit up against the Chargers.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox expects to share snaps and targets with fellow tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) in Week 15 as the latter returns from injury. Knox played over 80% of the snaps in two of three games with Kincaid sidelined (the other was the snow game against San Francisco). Knox totaled seven receptions for 101 yards and zero touchdowns in those games. Josh Allen should have his full roster of receiving weapons against the Lions. That removes Knox from the tight-end streaming conversation. He should be on waiver wires for the start of the fantasy playoffs.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) has put together an impressive stretch of games since the beginning of November, posting 33 catches for 599 yards and three touchdowns over that span. He will look to stay hot in Week 15's home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chiefs have been dominant against the run this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs, but they are only average against the pass as they are giving up the 15th-most fantasy points per game to the receiver position. Jeudy is in line to keep his recent hot stretch going in a game where the Browns are likely to throw frequently against the Chiefs. A full participant in practice all week despite being listed with a knee injury, treat Jeudy as a mid-range WR2 in fantasy for Week 15.

Kansas City Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. Butker was able to participate in practice all week as a limited participant and could snap his four-game absence. Butker is the injured reserve following their Week 10 victory over the Denver Broncos with a meniscus tear. While sidelined, the Chiefs have turned to Matthew Wright to operate as the top kicker during Weeks 13 and 14. Over these two games, Wright has gone 8-for-9 on attempts and 2-for-2 on extra points. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor Butker's status over the weekend, as Butker would be a bona fide K1 if he returns to action. If he can play, he would face the Browns, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing kickers this season. If not, Wright would draw his third-straight start.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker moved into the No. 2 role in the backfield after Bucky Irving (hip, back) went down early during last week's game. Rachaad White took over as the lead back and looked great with a two-score performance. However, Tucker didn't do much as he rushed three times for 47 yards and finished with zero receptions on two targets. There is a chance that Irving does sit in Week 15, which would mean Tucker moves into the No. 2 role once again. Fantasy managers shouldn't get too excited about that considering Tucker only saw three rushing attempts last week. Tucker is too risky of a streaming choice to start in important fantasy games this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield needs to limit the turnovers in order to have success in Week 15. Mayfield has thrown four interceptions over the last two games, but his four touchdowns during that span have helped save his fantasy value. Mayfield played two of the weaker secondaries in the league over the last two games, but has a tougher matchup this weekend. He'll be tasked with passing against the Los Angeles Chargers defense in Week 15. Mayfield has been one of the better options in fantasy at the quarterback spot all season long. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with him, but lower their expectations to a low-end QB1 for this weekend.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir enters Week 15 as the WR22 this season and has been reliably safe for fantasy managers. He's scored under double-digit PPR points once (snow game) since Week 6 and twice this season. Shakir leads Buffalo in targets (81), receptions (65), and yards (735) this season. Touchdowns (three) have been his Achilles heel, although the slot receiver did score on a long catch-and-run a week ago. The Lions are weaker against the pass than the run and are beatable via the slot. In what projects as a shootout, there is little downside to Shakir's outlook this week.

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb managed just 48 scoreless rushing yards in a Week 14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The veteran running back will look to bounce back at home against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. The Chiefs represent a very imposing matchup for Chubb, however, as their run defense has been excellent in 2024, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs. Chubb should get most of Cleveland's early-down and goal-line work but the matchup is far too difficult to consider him as anything other than a low-end RB3 heading into the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues.

Although he's not the best receiver on the Buffalo Bills roster, Mack Hollins has found his role on the team. He's an outstanding blocker and leads the team in receiving touchdowns. However, Buffalo has yet to play a game with their full roster of receivers. Amari Cooper (wrist) and Keon Coleman (wrist) have missed time since the former debuted in Week 7. They'll both be active on Sunday. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is also expected to return to the field. Although not heavily rostered now, there's even less trust in Hollins to turn a productive fantasy football performance. He can remain on waiver wires in Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford caught three passes for 19 yards in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. Ford will look to stay active in the passing game in a home matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. The Chiefs have been dominant against the run this season as they are allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. That being said, Ford has a better matchup than starter Nick Chubb as the former has a chance to catch some passes in the contest. Fantasy gamers in deeper PPR leagues can consider Ford as a low-end flex option for Week 15.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has slowed down just a bit over the last few weeks before the team went into their bye week. After finding the end zone in each of the first 11 games, he hasn't been able to score in their last two. In Week 15, however, Henry goes up against the New York Giants who give up an average of 22.5 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields in half-PPR formats. They even allow the fourth most rushing yards per contest at 141.7. On top of that, Henry cut off his locs to get some cornrows, so fantasy managers can consider him an RB1 heading into this matchup.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook faces the Detroit Lions in Week 15, one of the best rush defenses in the NFL. This season, the Lions allow the second-fewest fantasy points to the position. They've been even better over the last four weeks, despite injuries in their front seven and Josh Jacobs scoring three times a week ago. Cook's path to a successful fantasy performance will depend on his red zone opportunities. Like the Kansas City matchup a few weeks ago, a short touchdown or two will help what projects as a below-average day in the yardage department. Cook ranks as a mid-range RB2 this week.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson is looking for revenge after losing just his second game against the NFC before their bye last week. He draws the New York Giants as his first matchup down the final stretch of the regular season who are in the middle of an eight-game losing streak. They allow 16.7 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this year. As a team, they've allowed 20 or more points in all but three games. Jackson has only scored fewer than 20 fantasy points in three games, so fantasy managers should feel confident starting him through their fantasy playoff runs.
