Week 15 Fantasy Football Starts & Sits: Expert Lineup Advice for 2025 Playoffs

Top Quarterback Starts for Week 15

• 🎯 Brock Purdy is highlighted as a strong start against the Tennessee Titans, who have struggled against opposing quarterbacks, allowing over 21.7 fantasy points in six of their last seven games.
• 💡 Despite some recent struggles, Purdy has exceeded 20 fantasy points in three of his five healthy starts this season, and the matchup against a Titans defense that allowed over 360 yards and four touchdowns to Shadur Sanders is seen as favorable.
• 🚀 Jackson Dart is also recommended as a start against the Washington Commanders, with six of the last eight opposing quarterbacks scoring 21 or more fantasy points against them.
• 📈 Trevor Lawrence is a solid QB1 start against the Jets, having scored 23 or more fantasy points in three straight games and 19.6 or more in six of his last eight.

Key Wide Receiver and Tight End Recommendations

• 🌟 Jawan Jennings is a target against the Titans, having scored a touchdown in four of his last five games and averaging around seven targets per game.
• 🏈 Wandell Robinson and Theo Johnson are strong starts against the Giants, with 50% of Jackson Dart's passes going to these two players, who have significant target shares (28% for Robinson, 22% for Johnson).
• 🎯 Kyle Pitts is expected to have a good game against Tampa Bay, averaging 14.9 or more PPR points in three of his last four games with Kirk Cousins.

Running Back Starts and Considerations

• 💪 Devin Singletary is a recommended start against the Panthers, who have allowed at least four yards per carry to running backs in their last six games and have given up a rushing touchdown in three straight.
• ⚡ Trayvon Henderson is a strong RB2 play against Buffalo, offering a good one-two punch with Rhamondre Stevenson and averaging 4.8 yards per carry compared to Stevenson's 3.2.
• 📈 Alvin Kamara is a player to watch, with his workload potentially increasing due to his absence, and he is seen as a better option than Jaylen Warren.

Players to Sit or Avoid in Week 15

• ⚠️ David Montgomery and Aaron Jones are flagged as players to sit, as they are considered touchdown-dependent and have struggled with limited touches in recent weeks.
• 📉 Jordan Love and Bo Nix are players to avoid due to the likelihood of low-scoring games and pressure from opposing defenses.
• 🚫 Jaylen Warren is also a sit recommendation, having scored 12.8 or fewer PPR points in four of his past five games.
• ❓ Kenneth Walker III is a player fantasy managers might be left perplexed by, due to inconsistency and uncertainty around his workload and touchdown opportunities.
• 📉 Kareem Hunt has a very low floor, and despite scoring touchdowns, his role is not that of a workhorse back, making him a risky start.
