Brock Purdy Back In QB1 Mix

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is back in the QB1 conversation in Week 15. On Sunday, Purdy and the Niners face the Titans, who have allowed 22.4 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Last week, Tennessee got torched by rookie Shedeur Sanders to the tune of 364 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and another 29 yards with an additional score on the ground. The Titans have given up multiple passing touchdowns in six of their last seven games and averaged 265 passing yards allowed during the same stretch. This is promising for Purdy, who has averaged just 187 passing yards per game since returning in Week 11 from a six-game absence managing turf toe. Purdy is a solid option in two-QB formats and is a good pivot from similar quarterbacks with more imposing matchups in Week 15.

Brenton Strange Carries Promising Role into Jets Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange should lean on a lackluster Jets defense in Week 15 and return to the top end of the TE leaderboard. The 6-foot-4 Strange was the half-PPR TE5 in both Weeks 12 and 13 after missing five games due to a hip injury, but faltered with only 5.7 points last week, coming up just short of a touchdown. Strange would see six targets on the day, matching his average opportunity in '25. In fact, over the last three weeks, his 165 yards are fifth-best among TEs, and no other TE in the top 12 has an average depth of target above 10 in that span (his is 10.2). The Jets have tightened up on defense against the position lately, yet the seven TDs allowed to TEs is still a bottom-10 mark. Few others can boast a healthy red-zone role and a downfield presence for fantasy managers, making Strange a deserving top-10 option at TE.

Cam Little Set as Top-10 Option Against Jets

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little is itching to show off that big leg of his in a Week 15 date with a vulnerable Jets defense and perfect weather on tap. The 22-year-old kicker has only missed one extra point this year (and his two-year career), and no distance is too great for the current NFL record-holder for longest field goal. Little and the Jaguars are favored by nearly 14 points across the board against the Jets, who have allowed 28 field goals thus far. Only Baltimore has allowed more field goals this year. The forecast is set for about 70 degrees with clear skies and unremarkable wind, so we've got Little ranked comfortably in RotoBaller's top-10 at kicker. One of the biggest threats is that Little only gets chances to kick XPs in a tilted affair!

Parker Washington an Unreliable Fantasy Factor in Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) was upgraded from a pair of limited practices to full on Friday, resulting in a questionable designation with a decent chance to return to play in Week 15 against the Jets. We've yet to see what a full game's output from Washington looks like with both Brian Thomas Jr. and Jakobi Meyers on the field, but he should leapfrog Tim Patrick for No. 3 WR duties. It is possible that Patrick, who posted a strong 5-78-1 receiving line last week, doesn't just totally fade, and Washington also poses a re-injury risk. Even in a game the Jags could win by 40, Washington is very difficult to trust in a week where many of you are either opening your fantasy playoffs or fighting for a final berth. He's a deep-league, touchdown-dependent dart throw slotted around RotoBaller's WR70 mark.

Brian Thomas Jr. Brings High Ceiling to Table in Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is poised to rebuild some fantasy football trust in this final month after an arduous campaign filled with drops and injuries. Last week, BTJ gained ground with three catches for 87 yards on six targets that compiled a whopping 148 air yards. Both he and Jakobi Meyers led the way with 29 routes run, with Tim Patrick playing the No. 3 role that Parker Washington (hip) had vacated. With Trevor Lawrence pushing the ball more aggressively over the last month and Jacksonville in a position to snowball the score against the Jets, Thomas could finally smash if those air yards are translated into the box score. His spot around WR30 in our ranks is due to the roller-coaster ride we've endured to date, but those needing to aim for high-risk, high-reward output should deploy Thomas.

Isaiah Davis • RB • Jets

Isaiah Davis Could See Increased Work, Still Off the Radar for Fantasy

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis could be in line for more work in this weekend's road meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it will remain difficult to trust him for fantasy. The second-year pro has seen his share of the backfield touch load taper off significantly over the last month or so, picking up just three targets and 11 carries over the previous five games. However, he could see an elevated workload in Week 15. Teammate Breece Hall carries no designation into Sunday's outing, although he dealt with a knee injury this week, potentially leading to the team scaling back his workload when they take on the hosting Jaguars. Furthermore, it wouldn't be surprising to see the Jets lean on the ground game with rookie signal-caller Brady Cook getting his first start under center. That said, Jacksonville has been one of the more challenging matchups for opposing rushers, yielding the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game (17.92) to the position. Even if Davis boasts an increased opportunity this Sunday, it doesn't figure to be impactful for fantasy. He'll rank as RotoBaller's PPR RB66 ahead of Week 15.

Jakobi Meyers • WR • Jaguars

Jakobi Meyers Poised to Keep Touchdown Streak Going

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is looking to score a touchdown in his fourth straight game with a robust matchup against the Jets. Meyers is fully integrated into the offense following the midseason trade from Las Vegas, clearing an 80% snap count in each of his last three games. The return of Brian Thomas Jr. to the field didn't cut into his role either, as Meyers just logged 10 targets last week. The Jets' opponents don't often log high passing volume, but they allow a top-10 touchdown rate with zero interceptions and a bottom-three QB hit tally. Fantasy managers can be encouraged by the low pressure and a consolidated target share at the top of Jacksonville's food chain, which all comes together to make Meyers a top-20 WR in RotoBaller's Week 15 rankings.

Bhayshul Tuten • RB • Jaguars

Bhayshul Tuten a Volatile Flex Play With Great Matchup

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Bhayshul Tuten has had a disappointing few weeks after a season-high 74 rushing yards in Week 11, but hope springs eternal this weekend thanks to a date with the Jets' generous rush defense. Pessimists will point to Tuten's failure to crack 20 total yards in each of the last three games, while optimists can hang their hat on how complementary backs have fared against the Jets lately. Both Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon II scored last week, while Tyler Allgeier found paydirt the week before that, and all after the elite starters had scored themselves. It's been a few weeks since Tuten has appeared on Jacksonville's injury report with an ankle issue, so we must assume he's in a position to capitalize here. There's no skirting the low floor that he's shown in recent games, but Tuten's potential ceiling in a game that Jacksonville could run away with makes for a mighty double-edged sword for those needing a flex play to wield.

Jeremy Ruckert • TE • Jets

Jeremy Ruckert in Line for TE1 Duties in Week 15

New York Jets tight end Jeremy Ruckert will assume a starting role this Sunday when his team takes on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road. Ruckert posted his highest snap share of the campaign in Week 14, but only came away with 19 yards on 2-of-3 receiving while teammate Mason Taylor (neck) dealt with an injury. With Taylor ruled out, the former third-round pick will get a chance to lead New York's TE room. However, he'll do so with rookie quarterback Brady Cook under center. Cook will get the starting nod this week, as fellow QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) have both been deemed out with their respective injuries, lowering the fantasy floor for all Jets' skill players. Even with the expected bump in opportunity, Ruckert can be safely avoided by owners looking for a tight end to stream in the first round of the fantasy playoffs.

Travis Etienne Jr. • RB • Jaguars

Travis Etienne Jr. a Stellar Week 15 Play

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is in a prime spot to tally his sixth top-12 half-PPR finish in seven games and propel fantasy managers down the stretch. We've lost the early-season efficiency seen back in the first month of play, but steady volume on an offense averaging 30 points per game since Week 8 will suffice. His outlook is further bolstered by Bhayshul Tuten's poor recent form (2.3 yards per carry over the last three games) and drawing a top-five matchup against the Jets. Gang Green has surrendered rush TDs to everyone lately, including three different Miami RBs last week. The Jets are set to start third-stringer Brady Cook at quarterback, which has the Jags favored by roughly two TDs across all major sportsbooks. Etienne rosters should enjoy several scoring chances throughout the contests due to a positive gamescript and the advantageous matchup. As a result, Etienne is locked in as a top-10 option at the position per our ranks at RotoBaller.

John Metchie III • WR • Jets

John Metchie III a Low-Floor Dart Throw in First Round of Fantasy Playoffs

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is little more than a low-floor PPR option for Sunday's road meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. The 25-year-old appeared to be an ascending asset for New York a few weeks ago, but has since posted back-to-back four-catch outings while notching fewer than 35 receiving yards in each. Metchie will get another excellent matchup in Week 15 when they square off with Jacksonville. However, he'll be a riskier play than usual this week with first-year pro Brady Cook calling signals for the Jets. Even with Garrett Wilson (knee) missing another contest, Metchie only qualifies as a low-end flex play with Cook under center. The former Alabama Crimson Tide ranks as RotoBaller's PPR WR59 for his outing with the Jaguars.

Trevor Lawrence • QB • Jaguars

Trevor Lawrence Boasts Top-10 Upside For Week 15

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence enters the Week 15 fantasy slate with a friendly home matchup with the Jets. The Clemson alum has scored multiple touchdowns in four straight contests since Liam Coen instructed him to "let it rip," while also being turnover-free in his last two efforts. He's shown a particularly strong rapport with newcomer Jakobi Meyers, tossing a TD in three consecutive games to the 29-year-old wideout. Though the Jets have done well to limit opposing QBs to three combined TDs over four games, they've forced a league-low two turnovers all year (zero interceptions). Lawrence opened the week with an ankle injury designation and a limited practice on Wednesday, but has gotten in full sessions on Thursday and Friday. The rushing potential should be there alongside the improved passing on Sunday, planting him near the top-10 QBs in our RotoBaller ranks for the week.

Adonai Mitchell • WR • Jets

Adonai Mitchell a Volatile Flex Play Vs. Jacksonville

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will act as a primary option in the team's passing game for at least one more week as they take on the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars this Sunday. Mitchell came crashing back down to Earth in Week 14 after a career day the week prior, hauling in just 1-of-6 looks for 24 yards. It was a disappointing outing for fantasy managers who took a chance on him. Despite being without teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) yet again in Week 15, Mitchell and the rest of the Jets' skill players will receive a significant downgrade with rookie quarterback Brady Cook getting the start. For what it's worth, Mitchell figures to garner the more valuable, downfield targets between him and John Metchie III. However, that also makes the former's opportunities more volatile and susceptible to poor outcomes. He'll land as RotoBaller's PPR WR48 in this week's ranks.

Breece Hall • RB • Jets

Breece Hall a High-Risk Week 15 Asset

New York Jets running back Breece Hall has a difficult matchup on tap for Week 15, when his team squares off with the hosting Jacksonville Jaguars. Hall was initially at risk of missing this weekend's contest after he began the week tagged with a DNP due to a knee injury. Fortunately, he'd elevate his practice status each of the following days, and carries no designation into Sunday's outing. Despite the minor issue, the Iowa State alum is trending toward being the focal point of New York's attack with rookie signal-caller Brady Cook under center. While Hall's volume should be significant, he'll slide down the fantasy rankings this week. Aside from a lower ceiling with Cook at the helm, he'll have to deal with a league-best Jacksonville rush defense (82.9 yards per game), further hindering his fantasy potential. Hall's volume should be nice, but he'll be a fringey RB2, and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR RB20 for Week 15.

Brady Cook • QB • Jets

Brady Cook Not a Fantasy Option in First Start

New York Jets quarterback Brady Cook will garner his first start of his young career in Sunday's road outing with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Cook took the field for the first time in Week 14's 34-10 loss to the visiting Dolphins after veteran Tyrod Taylor (groin) left the contest with an injury. It wasn't a banner day for the 24-year-old, who completed just 14-of-30 pass attempts while tossing two interceptions and fumbling twice (none lost). With Taylor and Justin Fields (knee) both sidelined for Week 15, Cook will get a chance to build off his debut, but won't be afforded any favors in an underrated Jacksonville defense. The Jags are beatable through the air, although they've clamped down on the opposition's scoring chances, yielding the eleventh-fewest points per game in the NFL (20.9). Cook won't be in fantasy consideration outside of superflex and 2QB formats, and officially ranks as RotoBaller's QB34 for his matchup with Jacksonville.

Tyler Warren • TE • Colts

Tyler Warren Looking to Keep Colts in the Playoff Conversation in Week 15

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren is only 13 games into his career at the professional level. However, he's already established himself as one of the top tight ends in the National Football League. The 2025 No. 14 overall pick has had a few rough showings, although he still ranks among the top names at the position in several statistical areas, including receptions (60), receiving yards (699), and touchdowns (four). With Indy hoping to remain in the playoff picture, the team will need a win over Seattle on Sunday. Without question, the Seahawks have one of the most imposing defenses in the NFL, meaning it could be a difficult day for the Colts offense, especially with Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard under center in place of Daniel Jones (Achilles), who is done for at least the remainder of the 2025 campaign. Still, there aren't many tight ends with as high of a ceiling as Warren, so fantasy managers should keep him starting and hope for the best. It's also worth noting that Seattle has struggled against opposing tight ends throughout the season, giving fantasy managers a reason to stay optimistic.

Alec Pierce • WR • Colts

Alec Pierce Could Have Trouble Surpassing Fantasy Projections in Week 15

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (rib) practiced in full all week and doesn't carry an injury designation heading into Sunday's clash with the Seahawks. Pierce finished the 2024 campaign with seven touchdowns, a career-high. However, he has only scored twice this season. While the decline in trips to the end zone is a significant concern, he at least appears well on his way to having his best year in terms of receptions and receiving yards. With Indy desperately trying to remain in the postseason conversation, the team will look for a win over Seattle on Sunday. The Seahawks have one of the most formidable defenses in the National Football League, which would make life difficult for anyone. Yet, it may be an even tougher week for Pierce and the rest of the pass-catchers, considering Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) will take over in place of Daniel Jones (Achilles), who will miss the remainder of the year. With that in mind, Pierce isn't the safest fantasy option by any means in Week 15, so managers might want to consider other options, especially with Jonathan Taylor rumored to be more involved than usual.

Raheem Mostert Remains in Change-of-Pace Role Against Philly

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert has spent most of this season backing up rookie Ashton Jeanty, and he should remain in that role ahead of Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. The 33-year-old battled a knee injury during practice this past week but has been removed from the injury report and will play on Sunday, barring a setback. He has been held to just one touch in each of his last two games, and he ranks as the overall RB75 in PPR leagues this season. On one hand, the Eagles present a favorable matchup for any running back. After all, Philadelphia has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points, fifth-most receiving yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2025. On the other hand, though, the Purdue product is clearly nothing more than a change-of-pace back behind Jeanty in this Vegas offense. He's averaging just 3.1 touches per game and has played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last eight contests. Mostert ranks as the overall RB72 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, and he can be left on waivers in all leagues.

Brock Bowers a High-Impact Security Blanket for Replacement QB

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers has been a terrific fantasy football contributor lately. In six weeks since returning from injury, Bowers is averaging 5.7 catches, 65.7 yards, and one touchdown per game, and he ranks as the overall TE2 in half-PPR leagues during that span. He has posted double-digit fantasy points in five of those six contests, and he has found the end zone in each of his last two games. All in all, Bowers has been one of the few bright spots in Las Vegas' otherwise bleak offense. Because of that, we expect that he'll continue to thrive as a strong fantasy option when quarterback Kenny Pickett replaces Geno Smith (back, shoulder) in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Bowers should serve as a dependable high-volume target in this Pickett-led offense despite the Eagles allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. Bowers has shown that he is matchup-proof and should be started in all leagues, regardless of opponent. That's why he ranks as the overall TE3 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.

Tyler Lockett • WR • Raiders

Tyler Lockett Faces Competition Amidst Quarterback Change

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett remains a somewhat risky fantasy option heading into Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Lockett had 12 catches and 139 yards from Week 10 through Week 12, but his productivity has dwindled over the last couple of weeks. He has just four catches and 55 yards over his last two games. Now, heading into Week 15, Lockett faces signification competition for targets from Dont'e Thornton Jr., Tre Tucker, and Jack Bech not to mention superstar tight end Brock Bowers. The 33-year-old receiver has played through inconsistent volume and will now head into a tricky matchup against the Eagles, who have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points and second-fewest touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025. He will also deal with a quarterback downgrade this week as Kenny Pickett takes over for Geno Smith (back, shoulder). Although Lockett is a talented veteran receiver, his difficult matchup and unfortunate quarterback change have left him ranked as the overall WR87 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. He can be left on waivers in most leagues.
