Darnell Mooney, WR, ATL (foot) — Questionable
Mooney was restricted at follow Thursday, in accordance with Tori McElhaney of the Falcons’ official website. He and Drake London are viable in fantasy lineups because the Falcons face the Raiders. But their success will rely on whether or not Kirk Cousins improves.

Weather report

Outdoor video games solely

According to Rotowire’s aggregated NFL-related forecasts, three matchups include a 35-plus % likelihood of rain, together with the Bengals-Titans (97 %), Chiefs-Browns (74 %) and Cowboys-Panthers (39 %). For an entire information to how climate impacts gameplay, see “Jake Ciely’s Fantasy Football Strategy Guide to Weather.” As Ciely notes, the working recreation isn’t closely impacted by rain; RBs usually get extra carries in poor climate, so I’ll deal with the passing recreation under.

Cincinnati Bengals (5-8) at Tennessee Titans (3-10)

Bengals RB Chase Brown has been averaging 22.34 PPR factors since Week 9 and will see over 20 carries in Week 15 as a result of rain. Tennessee’s Tony Pollard (if wholesome), fantasy’s RB17, additionally stands to see excessive utilization. The quarterback hole on this matchup between Joe Burrow and Will Levis is very large. With or with out rain, Will Levis is beginning for only a few groups — solely in very deep Superflex leagues — as a result of he’s QB31 under injured Dak Prescott and benched Justin Fields and Daniel Jones.

Burrow doesn’t have a lot of a document with precipitation, however within the rain on September 10, 2023, the Bengals misplaced 24-3 to the Browns and Cincy’s QB was 14-of-31 for under 82 yards. In the 2022 AFC Divisional Playoffs, Burrow led the Bengals to a 27-10 win over the Buffalo Bills — within the snow. My superior meteorological data tells me that snow will not be rain, however Burrow fared higher in it, finishing 23-of-36 passes for 242 yards with two touchdowns. No one will sit Ja’Marr Chase due to rain, however don’t ignore the forecast and plan accordingly.

Kansas City Chiefs (12-1) at Cleveland Browns (3-10)

Most groups depend on their dashing assaults within the rain, however since his return, Cleveland’s Nick Chubb has averaged solely 3.1 yards per carry. Jerome Ford averages 4.6 however has had three video games with 2.8 or fewer yards per rush. Jameis Winston may very well be pressured to throw, however he’s dismal within the rain, finishing solely 53.2 % of passes with 12 interceptions to seven TDs (TruMedia). Jerry Jeudy has been a fantasy revelation currently (with 40.5 PPR factors in Week 13), and Cedric Tillman is nearing a return. But be cautious of the forecast. Kansas City’s Isiah Pacheco will possible see a heavy workload, and head coach Andy Reid will plan across the climate. During his profession, Patrick Mahomes has performed nicely within the rain, with a 103.8 passer ranking, 70.1 % completion proportion and seven.1 yards per try (search for Travis Kelce to have a giant recreation).

Dallas Cowboys (5-8) at Carolina Panthers (3-10)

With an opportunity at rain for the QB matchup between Cooper Rush and Bryce Young, each groups could depend on the run. You can comfortably begin working backs Rico Dowdle (Dallas) and Chuba Hubbard (Carolina). According to TruMedia, Rush has just one NFL go try within the rain, providing little perception. Young, nonetheless, performed in a single rainy-day recreation throughout his rookie 12 months (2023) in opposition to the Atlanta Falcons and Desmond Ridder, coincidentally in Week 15. The information isn’t consultant given the small pattern measurement, however Young went 18-of-24 with a completion proportion of 75 % — 16 factors greater than his profession complete.

What does make sense: That recreation ended 9-7 Panthers. Hubbard led the backfield with 22 caries, and the Panthers ran 36 instances (together with 4 rushes by Young). The Panthers QB threw for under seven yards per try, and his No. 1 goal was Adam Thielen. If it rains in Carolina once more this week, anticipate an analogous recreation script. Thielen is the most secure WR possibility in Carolina, with a reception-per-target charge of 75.7 %, in comparison with Xavier Legette’s 58.2 %. CeeDee Lamb is an every-week begin for the Cowboys, no matter circumstances, however beginning a Dallas WR exterior of him is dangerous.

Zach Charbonnet excelled in Week 14 (38.3 PPR factors), dashing for 134 yards on 6.1 yards per rush and two touchdowns whereas including 59 receiving yards with Kenneth Walker III inactive. If Walker’s out once more, Charbonnet could discover much less room in opposition to a Green Bay rush protection top-10 in yards per recreation and yards per carry allowed. But that paves the best way for the resurgence of DK Metcalf, who hasn’t scored greater than 10 PPR factors since Week 11. Meanwhile, Jaxon Smith-Njigba has carried out nicely with 4 19-plus PPR level performances previously 5 weeks and seven.85 targets per recreation over the complete season.

On Green Bay’s offense, RB Josh Jacobs (fantasy’s season-long RB7) and QB Jordan Love (QB12 on a per-game foundation) are the one clear fantasy starters.

Watson solely averages 4.09, under TE Tucker Kraft (4.15). Seattle’s protection is best in opposition to the go (tenth in opponent passing yards per recreation) than the run, permitting 4.7 yards per carry and rating twenty second in defensive rush success proportion (60.4 %).

Week 15 greatest bets

Austin Mock scours his weekly projections to identify the highest values on the board.

Miami Dolphins at Houston Texans below 47 (-110)

The Dolphins have struggled in opposition to high quality opponents for nearly two seasons now, and the Texans, off a bye, ought to current a high quality protection to make life powerful for Tua Tagovailoa. On the opposite aspect of the ball, Houston’s offense is a large number. The Texans can’t run the ball by any means, and their go safety is horrible as nicely. In reality, their offensive line is committing a blown block or a stress on 30 % of offensive performs, in accordance with FTN Data. That’s the worst mark within the league by virtually 5 %. Long story brief, I feel each offenses might discover themselves struggling a bit this weekend.

• Worst worth to guess: Under 47 (-110)

Fantasy soccer playoff technique

KC Joyner affords recommendation on methods to method the fantasy soccer playoffs.

Two quarterback upgrades

Jameis Winston is [a QB] improve candidate. He is ideally suited to take flight versus the Bengals since he has led all quarterbacks in vertical FPPG since Week 11. Winston can be accessible in 80.1 % of leagues.

Russell Wilson doesn’t benefit from a Bengals matchup (until you might be in a type of uncommon leagues which have playoff video games in Week 18). But the Pittsburgh Steelers have doubtlessly high-scoring matchups in opposition to the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens, and Kansas City Chiefs. In addition, Wilson is sixth in vertical FPPG since Week 11, which means he has downfield chops and is rostered in solely 55.5 % of leagues.

Winston and Wilson is perhaps bench upgrades in lots of situations, however they’re must-replace upgrades for fantasy managers who’ve QBs similar to Geno Smith (49.8 % rostered) or Kirk Cousins (54.3 % rostered).
