Fantasy Football Week 15 Start/Sit Advice
Sleepers
Which player outside of the top 100 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is a good sleeper start, and why do you think he has upside this week?
Darren Waller (TE – MIA)
“Darren Waller feels like a great play against the Steelers, who are sixth in points allowed per game to tight ends this year.”
– Pete Nova (FF Faceoff)
Duds
Which player inside the top 40 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings is likely to disappoint fantasy managers this week?
DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)
“The player inside the top 50 in the FantasyPros Flex rankings that is likely to disappoint fantasy managers in the first round of the fantasy playoffs is DeVonta Smith. He has been disappointing for most of the season, finishing with fewer than 10 fantasy points in three of his last four games. Jalen Hurts looked pitiful on Monday Night Football, and I don’t see him turning it around on a short week. Smith’s red-zone conversion rates have been poor all season. Only start him if you do not have better options.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)
Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
“Breece Hall is just 30th overall in fantasy running back scoring his last three games. He had just 4.3 fantasy points last week against the Dolphins and failed to catch a pass in that game. Hall is becoming a hard fantasy player to trust in this reeling Jets offense. With questions at quarterback this week, we aren’t sure what we’ll get from this offense, making Hall a risky fantasy play. Hall also has a tough matchup against the Jaguars, a team that allows the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. The Jaguars have allowed fewer than 100 rushing yards in all but three games.”
