QUARTERBACKS

RYAN TANNEHILL- $6500 DRAFTKINGS, $7600 FANDUEL

Ryan Tannehill is on an impressive 7 game run after taking over for Marcus Mariota. I would have never thought at the beginning of the season I would be writing Tannehill’s name in a DFS writeup but here we are. Not only has he forced the franchise quarterback to the bench but Tannehill is averaging 19 points per game this season. Now he gets a dream matchup at home versus the Texans who rank 30th against quarterbacks. I love Tannehill for a low owned value play on both sites in Week 15.

JIMMY GAROPPOLO- $6100 DRAFTKINGS, $8400 FANDUEL

Coming off monster game versus a good New Orleans Saints defense on the road Garoppolo gets a cupcake matchup versus the Atlanta Falcons. This 49er team are true super bowl contenders and their leader is averaging 18 fantasy points per game this season and has massive upside in this matchup. The Falcons rank 24th against opposing quarterbacks and if this game stays close I like Jimmy to hit value on both sites.

RUNNING BACKS

DERRICK HENRY- $8500 DRAFTKINGS, $9400 FANDUEL

Is Derrick Henry the most improved player in the NFL this season? The man is a consistent workhorse with high upside who has been posting McCaffrey type numbers the last 5 weeks. Henry is averaging 20 fantasy points per game and gets a nice matchup at home against the Texans who rank 27th against opposing running backs. Keep an eye on his injury tag going into the week and if you see any news of limiting touches or a worsening injury I would advise pivoting to Dalvin Cook who also has a nice matchup versus the Chargers.

CHRIS CARSON- $7500 DRAFTKINGS, $7400 FANDUEL

Chris Carson is in for a big workload if he can hold on to the ball in Week 15. With Rashaad Penny out for the season, Carson should be on the field in what is a must-win game for the Seahawks. Even with all the ups and downs of the season, Carson is still averaging 16 fantasy points per game. He should have a nice floor and ceiling this week versus the Panthers and their league worse run defense. Carson should be a lock on both FanDuel and DraftKings in both your cash games and tournaments.

WIDE RECEIVERS

CHRIS GODWIN- $7700 DRAFTKINGS, $8400 FANDUEL

The trend this week is to target players whose workload has increased due to injuries around them. Chris Godwin is in line for more targets and receptions with Mike Evans out for this week and possibly the rest of the season. We had issues deciding between the two receivers every week but now the decision is clear. Let’s lock up Godwin who is averaging 21 points per game against the Lions who rank 25th against opposing wide receivers.

KENNY GOLLADAY- $7200 DRAFTKINGS, $7900 FANDUEL

Let’s stay in Detroit in what looks to be a shootout game versus the Buccaneers. I love to target dome games during the winter months so I don’t have to worry about snow, wind, and harsh elements. Combine that with the fact Golladay is averaging 17 points per game and facing a Buccaneers team who rank 32nd against opposing wide receivers, and we got ourselves a winner. Golladay has surpassed 1000 yards receiving this year and has 5 games of 100+ yards so the upside and consistency are there for another solid week ahead.

TIGHT ENDS

GEORGE KITTLE- $6200 DRAFTKINGS, $7200 FANDUEL

Kittle is coming off a big game and some late-game heroics in the win versus the New Orleans Saints. Kittle is Jimmy G’s favorite target and a safe play at tight end in Week 15. He is averaging 15 fantasy points per game and the Falcons rank 24th against opposing tight ends this season. I think the combination of Garoppolo and Kittle provide a nice cash floor for your cash lineups.

ZACH ERTZ– $6000 DRAFTKINGS, $6700 FANDUEL

With all the injuries the Eagles have on offense Ertz is the safe way to attack this Redskins defense. Ertz is getting the majority of targets in the passing game and is the first option whenever they get in the red zone. He has the upside to double the points of any tight end of the slate and is averaging 15 points per game. He comes in as my number 1 overall play at tight end in Week 15.

DEFENSES

PATRIOTS- $4000 DRAFTKINGS, $5000 FANDUEL

Coming off a back to back losses the Patriots have to show up versus the Bengals in Week 15. This is a get right spot for the Patriots and let’s not forget their defense is averaging 15 fantasy points per game this season. The Bengals offense has struggled all year and I expect that to continue when the Patriots come into town.

CHIEFS- $3500 DRAFTKINGS, $3900 FANDUEL

This Chiefs defense has quietly gotten better as the season has progressed. They have been solid in their last 3 games and are averaging 8 fantasy points per game on the season. I have not yet bought in on Lock and I think he faces a tough task going on the road to Arrowhead stadium. I think the Chiefs bring pressure and cause some turnovers and hopefully push into double digits this week.
