Fantasy football thoughts for Week 15

Jimmy Garoppolo and Jared Goff are must starts while you should stay away from Jameis Winston and Mitchell Trubisky in Week 15 of fantasy football.

It’s semifinal playoff week in fantasy football leagues and that means it’s imperative to make the right decisions on your lineup. Especially at quarterback.

Pick the right guy at quarterback and you could be playing for a championship next week. Pick the wrong guy and you won’t even be playing next week.

I’ve scoured the advice that’s out there from a bunch of fantasy gurus and I don’t agree with the consensus on several quarterbacks, mainly Tampa Bay’s Jameis Winston and Chicago’s Mitchell Trubisky. Most experts are saying to start them both because they’ve put up big numbers lately.

I disagree with that and think you should sit Winston and Trubisky unless you have no other choice. Winston will be playing with a slight fracture in his right thumb and will be without receiver Mike Evans. Trubisky will be going against a tough Green Bay defense. Stay clear of both these guys.

The quarterbacks I think you should be starting are Jared Goff and Jimmy Garoppolo and that’s based mainly on the fact that both have favorable matchups. Goff and the Rams play the Cowboys, who have struggled with pass defense recently. San Francisco’s Garoppolo plays the Falcons, who have struggled against the passing game all year.

The quarterbacks are the headliners and I’ll share more thoughts on them later. But I also cover the other positions in my thoughts for Week 15 in fantasy football.

Robert Woods is a must-start

The Rams receiver has had at least 95 receiving yards in each of the last four games he’s played in. He’s got a favorable matchup this week. The Cowboys have allowed seven touchdown passes to wide receivers in the last four weeks.
