Fantasy Football: Week 15 Picks

With the final weeks of fantasy football upon us, it's time to lock up the big win.

Most leagues will have their championship games played next week, meaning a lot of you (including myself admittedly) have already been bounced from the playoffs. But, there's still time to win in daily fantasy, or just playing to beat your friends in the consolation rounds.

The Good

Running Backs, Running Backs, Running Backs!- There are a lot of great match ups for running backs this week, but especially in the NFC South. Atlanta star Devonta Freeman crushed it all year, but has been having up and down performances since getting hurt. He'll have a chance to turn it around against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Enough said.

Tampa Bay running back Doug Martin will have a tougher day against a stout Rams D-line, but he'll still get good numbers.

Tim Hightower for the Saints had a good game last week, and could come up big against the Lions. However, Detroit's Theo Riddick could have the bigger game, but both are good cheap options at under $4,000 on DraftKings.

Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona- Although Fitz is a bit expensive at $7,300 on DK, the Philadelphia Eagles won't be able to keep the man down like the Vikings did last week. Chip Kelly doesn't have the personnel to cover Fitzgerald, or any other Cardinals WR with Carson Palmer at quarterback.

The Bad

Stephon Diggs, WR, Minnesota- Diggs looked like the next big thing earlier in the season, but has dropped off the planet since week 8. Don't expect that to change this week against the Bears. Diggs gets cheaper and cheaper each week on DK, and shouldn't be in your lineup in any league.

The Risk

Philip Rivers- Since losing Keenan Allen for the season Rivers hasn't had a top notch wide receiver. Granted, he has Antonio Gates, Malcom Floyd, and Danny Woodhead. Rivers just hasn't been the same as he's struggled against any decent defenses this year.

The Chargers will get a lovely match up against the Miami Dolphins, and Rivers is rather cheap on DraftKings at $5,500. Rivers will be a value pick, but there's a good chance he'll be in the points leaders this week.
