Writing these GPP articles all season has been fun, but it’s not for the faint of heart. These players are meant to be risky because we’re looking for guys who will have us standing above the rest of the field. Choosing volatile players can be frustrating, but stumbling into a few gems is the way to earn a big payout! We’re looking for one of those in the final month, so let’s dive into this Week 15 card!
NFL Week 15 DFS GPP Lineup Advice & Picks
The players below are ones I’m looking at for GPP considerations for Week 15:
Quarterbacks
DraftKings
Josh Allen (QB – BUF): $8,200 vs. DAL
It’s rare to consider Allen as a GPP player, but he’ll be rostered less than he should be this week. The main reason is that he faces one of the best defenses in the NFL. That doesn’t concern us though, because this is still projected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week. We love JA’s form, too, and he’s averaging nearly 33 DraftKings points per game across his last two outings.
Jordan Love (QB – GB): $6,200 vs. TB
Love looks like the best quarterback in the NFL at times and the worst at others. That’s what you usually get from GPP options, but we still like that Love averages 19 DraftKings points per game. He’s also scored at least 23 DK points in three of his last four fixtures! He’s finally grasping this complicated offense and should continue to thrive against a 31st-ranked Tampa secondary.
FanDuel
Kyler Murray (QB – ARI): $7,500 vs. SF
Murray will always be an elite GPP option because he’s one of the best running quarterbacks in the NFL. We haven’t seen too many upside games since his return from an ACL tear, but he was the top-scoring quarterback in fantasy before that injury. We’ve also seen the speedster average 18 FanDuel points per game so far this year, and he’s only going to get better as the season progresses. San Fran is a scary matchup, but look for Kyler to use his legs a ton against this dominant defensive line.
Will Levis (QB – TEN): $6,800 vs. HOU
Levis has looked good at times, but he hasn’t been a great fantasy quarterback in his first two months as the Tennessee signal-caller. The talent stands above all though, because we saw Levis score 18 FD points against an elite Miami defense on Monday. He should be able to carry that momentum against Houston, who posts a 28th OPRK against opposing quarterbacks.
Running Backs
DraftKings
Derrick Henry (RB – TEN): $6,900 vs. HOU
Most people will fade Henry with how poorly he’s been running the ball the last three weeks, but we want to ride him in GPPs below $7K. The main reason is his career success against Houston; Henry averages over 25 DraftKings points per game against the Texans. He’s also still averaging 16 DK points per game in a “down” season and could get back on track facing off with the Texans.
Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR): $5,600 vs. ATL
We thought Miles Sanders would steal this job at some point, but Hubbard has held on. Chuba had 23 and 25 rush attempts in his last two outings, generating a 19-point average across his last three fixtures. That’s a fantastic total from a $5,600 player, and he should get plenty of work in a game that will likely stay close. Good luck finding another sub-$6K player with this sort of upside!
FanDuel
Jerome Ford (RB – CLE): $6,400 vs. CHI
Ford has been fantastic filling in for Nick Chubb, and he’s averaging 13 FanDuel points per game since taking over as the starter. He’s also scored double-digit fantasy points in all but three games and should get plenty of work against the Bears. Cleveland enters this game as a home favorite, and they should feed Ford 20 touches in a favorable game script.
Devin Singletary (RB – HOU): $6,000 at TEN
Singletary has established himself as the lead back for the Texans, and they will have to feed him with so many Houston players nicked up. Singletary is already averaging nearly 15 FanDuel points per game in this expanded role. That makes him tough to avoid against Tennessee, the team with the 26th OPRK against opposing rushers.
Wide Receivers
DraftKings
Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ): $5,800 at MIA
Wilson is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL, and it’s sad to watch him play for the Jets. These quarterbacks have been an embarrassment, but it’s hard to overlook Wilson’s 32% team target share. That’s the third-highest total in the NFL, with Wilson averaging over 14 DK points per game. It’s miraculous he has such a high average when looking at these quarterbacks, but he should get double-digit targets in a game where NY is projected to get blown out.
Drake London (WR – ATL): $5,400 at CAR
It’s hard to believe that London is just $5,400. This kid has incredible talent and showcased it with nearly 175 receiving yards last week. That sort of upside is impossible to find at this price, and Atlanta should force-feed him after a performance like that. The Panthers are far from a good matchup, but that should have him rostered way less than he should be.
FanDuel
Robert Woods (WR – HOU): $5,500 at TEN
This might be a stupid recommendation, but Woods might be the top receiver in this offense. Nico Collins and Tank Dell got injured over the last two weeks, and Woods is the only wide receiver left. We saw him above $7K at times with the Rams in the past, and we can’t fade him if both of those guys are out. That should nearly guarantee Woods double-digit targets against a 27th-ranked Tennessee secondary, making him an incredible value at just $5,500.
Wan’Dale Robinson (WR – NYG): $5,300 at NOS
Using any Giants receiver is playing with fire, but this Robinson kid has a ton of talent! He showcased it with a season-high 15 FanDuel points last week, seeing work in the passing and running game. That versatility should also help to grow his usage, because they know he’s one of the best playmakers on this team. We love developing players who are way too cheap, and it’s rare to find anyone who’s usable at just $5,300.
Tight Ends
DraftKings
Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU): $4,900 at TEN
Schultz was close to suiting up last week, and it looks like he’ll make his return from a hamstring issue this week. That will be a welcomed sight for the Texans in light of the injuries to Dell and Collins the last two weeks. Schultz was already one of the top targets before those injuries, scoring at least 11 DraftKings points in six of seven games before suffering that hammy issue. That makes it hard to believe that he’s below $5K, especially since Tennessee ranks 22nd in passing yards allowed.
FanDuel
Cole Kmet (TE – CHI): $5,800 at CLE
Kmet has been a stud whenever Justin Fields has been in the lineup, and he’s a solid value below $6,000 on FanDuel. The Bears’ tight end has scored at least 7.1 FD points in five of his last six games, showcasing a 20-point upside before Fields’ injury. Nobody will want to use him against an elite defense like Cleveland, but stacking Fields and Kmet is a great way to separate yourself from everyone else.
Defense/Special Teams
DraftKings
Dallas Cowboys D/ST: $3,200 at BUF
Most people will see the matchup with Buffalo and overlook Dallas, but that would be silly. The Cowboys have been the highest-scoring D/ST in the NFL, and Josh Allen has the most interceptions in the league. That sounds like a recipe for success, even though this is projected to be one of the highest-scoring games of the week.
FanDuel
Carolina Panthers D/ST: $3,300 vs. ATL
We love using a cheap D/ST on FanDuel, and Carolina is just that. They are the third-lowest priced D/ST on this slate, but they should have a solid showing against Atlanta. The Falcons rank 23rd in total offense and they’re entering this matchup as a 3.5-point favorite in a game with a 35-point total. That means Atlanta is projected to score fewer than 20 points, and it’s rare to see such a cheap D/ST face such a low-projected offense.
