Fantasy Football WR Rankings for Week 15
Fantasy Football Best WR Matchups for Week 15
#1] Drake London vs. Las Vegas Raiders
Kirk Cousins has been very volatile of late, and extremely poor recently. There are no two ways about it as in his last four games, Cousins has thrown eight interceptions and zero touchdowns.
I wouldn't blame you if you couldn't trust the grizzled vet with your fantasy championship aspirations on the line. However, the 36-year-old has a history of manufacturing decent fantasy days for WRs when he's not at the top of his game. In a losing effort last week, Cousins completed 23 throws for 334 yards against the Vikings on the road. That's a win in the fantasy world.
After not attempting a red zone throw in Weeks 10-11, Cousins rebounded with six each in Weeks 13 and 14. Four of Cousins' high-value attempts went to the team leader in the red zone, Drake London. Is it a sign that Cousins is coming out of his funk?
Despite his struggles, London continues to dominate targets as the primary pass catcher in Atlanta's offense. He'll get a vulnerable Raiders secondary on Monday night. Since Week 11, Las Vegas has allowed the fifth-most passing yards per game (290.5), the fifth-most targets per game (41.3), and the eighth-most receptions per game (24.3) in its previous four games. Start your studs. London should be in the WR1 conversation this week.
#2] Courtland Sutton vs Indianapolis Colts
I don't know about you but I missed Courtland Sutton last week. Playing in industry and charity leagues, you must survive and advance even with six teams on bye in Week 14. No complaints. Play like a champion. For most of you, the playoffs start this week, and you should have a rested Sutton playing host to a poor pass defense in Indianapolis.
The Colts have allowed the sixth-most passing yards per game (248.2), the seventh-most receptions per game (22.9), and the third-highest catch rate (65.5%) this season.
Sutton has been a consistent WR2 this year with 14.0 fantasy points per game and 14th-best 846 receiving yards. Sutton will be elevated into WR1 territory this weekend. We hope he gets involved early and often in this contest, as the Colts have allowed the third-highest rushing rate on the road this season (47.9%).
#3] Davante Adams vs Jacksonville Jaguars
I'm still not used to writing in Davante Adams as a WR2 but that's precisely where he should be ranked as long as the Jets continue to be a mid-level fantasy offense. However, Adams has me intrigued with a touchdown in consecutive games and his best performance since joining New York back in Week 7.
For the first time as teammates, Adams and fantasy star Garrett Wilson topped 100-plus yards in the same game. Wilson turned seven catches into 114 receiving yards against a decent pass defense in Miami, while Adams had season-highs in catches (9) and yards (109).
The Jets will get one of the best matchups to wideouts this week when it travels to Jacksonville to take on the last-place Jaguars. Could Adams get back into our good graces with a memorable playoff run?
Jacksonville will come into Week 15 with three victories all season and a secondary that has allowed the second-most passing yards per game (277.1), the fifth-most receptions per game (23.6), and the second-highest catch rate (65.9%) this season.
Adams has just 14.8 fantasy points per game this season but has been trending toward 21.8 in the last two weeks. That's what we're used to in the All-Pro receiver. He will at least help you survive and advance this week in this enticing matchup.
