Ladarius Green could be primed for another explosion this weekend

Let’s take a look at the highest projected ownership levels on DraftKings for each position in Week 15.

Tyrod Taylor QB CLE 18.5%
Le’Veon Bell RB CIN 30.8%
Antonio Brown WR CIN 37.1%
Ladarius Green TE CIN 20.1%
Buffalo Bills D/ST CLE 21.4%

Quarterback

Tyrod Taylor (BUF) : $5,700 vs. CLE (18.5% Own %)
Taylor projects as a popular quarterback this week due to his soft salary and even softer matchup. The Browns are obviously deplorable in just about every facet of the game, and Taylor’s rushing ability gives him a solid floor for cash games. That being said, he doesn’t have as much upside as someone like Carson Palmer or Philip Rivers, so I likely will look elsewhere in tournament play.

Running Back

Le’Veon Bell (PIT): $9,800 @ CIN (30.8% Own %)
Much like David Johnson, Bell carries a very high floor due to his involvement in the passing game. Despite a high salary and likely high ownership levels, it’s tough to ignore his ability to outscore everyone in any given week. The Bengals have allowed 130 rushing yards and 0.8 touchdowns over the last four weeks, and Bell should continue to produce big numbers in Week 15.

Wide Receiver

Antonio Brown (PIT): $8,400 @ CIN (37.1% Own %)
Brown’s salary has not been lower at any point this season, and for this reason, owners could be willing to overlook a tough matchup in an effort to get a stud at a discount. While he continues to be a target monster, he’s clearly taken a back seat to Le’Veon Bell in this offense, as evidenced by his failure to break 100 receiving yards in each of the last four games. I don’t mind taking a flier due to the depressed salary, but I look for the Steelers to continue to ride the hot hand with Le’Veon Bell.

Tight End

Ladarius Green (PIT): $3,700 @ CIN (20.1% Own %)
The Bengals rank 29th in fantasy points allowed per game to tight ends, and this is what owners will likely be fixated on in Week 15. While Green has received 17 targets over the last two games, he’s hauled in just eight during that span. As always is the case with the skill players in this offense, there’s nothing wrong with having exposure, I just wouldn’t force the issue.

D/ST

Buffalo Bills (BUF): $3,700 vs. CLE (21.4% Own %)
The Bills are likely to be a chalk option this week, and for good reason, as they host the hapless Cleveland Browns. While it’s never a bad idea to target a bad offense, I prefer to take a discount with someone like the Baltimore Ravens, who rank fourth in DKP per game, but come at a friendlier salary of just $3,100.
