Fantasy football rankings for Week 15: Purdy, McCaffrey fueling playoff runs

View Date：2025-04-13 21:26:06

Survive and advance. The late Jim Valvano popularized the phrase while speaking about the NCAA basketball tournament, but it's just as applicable to fantasy football.

You only need to beat your opponent this week. Then you can start thinking about taking the next step toward winning a championship. To help you keep your focus, here's how the players stack up in their upcoming games.

START OR SIT? 15 players on the borderline for your Week 15 lineups

Fantasy football rankings for Week 15 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 15

C.J. Stroud remains in the concussion protocol after leaving last week's game early. If he can't go, Davis Mills would get the start.
Derek Carr (rib/shoulder) still has a questionable tag after playing a full game last week despite the injuries.
Easton Stick will be the Chargers' starting quarterback for the rest of the season after Justin Herbert underwent surgery for a broken index finger on his passing hand.
Sleeper pick: Jake Browning has thrived after taking over for Joe Burrow in Cincinnati. Minnesota is no pushover on defense, but Browning has handled the challenge admirably so far.

Fantasy football running back rankings for Week 15

Isiah Pacheco (shoulder) didn't play last week and remains questionable.
Josh Jacobs (quadriceps) has yet to practice this week after leaving Sunday's game early. Zamir White and Amir Abdullah would split time if Jacobs has to sit out.
Alexander Mattison (ankle) isn't practicing yet while dealing with a low-ankle sprain.
Sleeper pick: D'Andre Swift is primed for a rebound few will see coming after the Eagles' past two tough games against Dallas and San Francisco.

Fantasy football wide receiver rankings for Week 15

Ja'Marr Chase is dealing with an ankle injury that will limit his practice participation this week. He hopes to be able to play on Saturday vs. Minnesota.
In that same game, Justin Jefferson is questionable with a chest injury that knocked him out of last week's game after just 13 snaps. If he does play, he'll have a new quarterback in Nick Mullens throwing to him.
Sleeper pick: Odell Beckham Jr. looks fully healthy, with 97 receiving yards and a touchdown last week vs. the Rams. He's facing a Jaguars defense that gives up the eighth-most fantasy points to wideouts.
