It's the playoffs for many fantasy football leagues this week.
There will be many tough decisions on the table heading into the quarterfinal of your league.
I'll help out. Here are 20 players to start and sit in Week 15.
Quarterbacks To Play in Week 15
1. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
2. Russell Wilson, Denver Broncos
Jordan Love has looked so much better in the second half of the NFL season. He threw multiple touchdowns in four consecutive games before losing to the Giants. But a matchup against the Buccaneers should help Love get back on track, especially if Christian Watson and Aaron Jones return.
Meanwhile, Detroit's defense struggles while Russell Wilson and the Broncos continue to thrive. Wilson added 224 yards passing with two touchdowns against the Chargers. He'll be just as good against the Lions this week.
Jordan Love is heating up and he can only get hotter in Week 14 so it's an easy decision. Make sure you're hammering Love prop bets at DraftKings right now
Quarterbacks To Sit in Week 15
3. Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
4. C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
5. Desmond Ridder, Atlanta Falcons
Tua Tagovailoa didn't look his best against the Jets a few weeks ago. After a major loss to the Titans, I'd probably look for another quarterback this week.
Meanwhile, C.J. Stroud doesn't only have a concussion. But he also looked pretty bad agaisnt the Jets last weekend. If he plays, Stroud won't have Tank Dell and might not even have Nico Collins.
Finally, I know Ridder added 347 yards against the Buccaneers last weekend. But that's why I'd much rather play Jordan Love against Tampa Bay this week.
Running Backs To Play in Week 15
6. Ezekiel Elliott, New England Patriots
7. Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals
8. D'Onta Foreman, Cleveland Browns
Ezekiel Elliott earned 22 carries for 68 yards. But he also had seven receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown against the Steelers. Elliott has the potential to help you earn a fantasy championship if you play him moving forward.
Meanwhile, Chase Brown could be the guy if you're desperate for a flex player. He just added eight carries for 25 yards and caught three targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. He's splitting carries with Mixon and has been super efficient.
Lastly, D'Onta Foreman isn't getting enough love right now. He added 11 carries for 50 yards and earned two receptions for another 22 yards last week. He's another guy you can turn to for a flex spot if needed. Yes, even against the Browns.
Running Backs To Sit in Week 15
9. Alexander Mattison, Minnesota Vikings
10. Gus Edwards, Baltimore Ravens
Will the Vikings score a touchdown ever again? Mattison rushed ten times for 66 yards but didn't add a catch in a 3-0 win for the Vikings. He got injured in that game, and it's unclear if he'll even play on Saturday. Keep that in mind.
Keep Gus Edwards out of the lineup unless you're fishing for a touchdown. He only saw six carries for 15 yards last week against the Rams.
Wide Receivers To Play in Week 15
11. Terry McLaurin, Washington Commanders
12. Noah Brown, Houston Texans
Terry McLaurin won't be held reception-less in back-to-back weeks. The Commanders will address this and get him the ball early and often this week.
On the other hand, if Nico Collins has to miss some time, Noah Brown would be the lead guy for Houston against the Titans. I'd take a gamble on Brown.
Hammer Noah Brown overs at Ceasars right now. Bet up to $50 and get $250 that Brown takes over the job and don't worry about losing!
Wide Receivers To Sit in Week 15
13. Zay Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars
14. Jordan Addison, Minnesota Vikings
15. Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals
Zay Jones earned 14 targets against the Browns. But he only caught five of those 14 targets for 29 yards. I love the volume, but the execution was super weak.
With Jordan Addison, it's hard to trust any Vikings players offensively right now. They're struggling. Addison couldn't even record 30+ receiving yards last game.
Finally, Tee Higgins probably won't succeed much against a Vikings defense that has played very well recently. Higgins had just two catches against the Colts last week.
Tight Ends To Play in Week 15
16. Taysom Hill, New Orleans Saints
17. Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens
Taysom Hill didn't play for the Saints last weekend due to a foot and hand injury. But when he's active, Hill fills up the box score with rushes, passes, and catches. If he's healthy and playing, he's a legitimate option at tight end.
Isaiah Likely saw seven targets and caught five balls for 83 yards and a touchdown last week against the Rams. He's undoubtedly a high-upside tight end who will have the starter role for the rest of the season.
Can Taysom Hill step up and deliver in Week 14? He's back to consistently producing. Well, FanDuel is the place to bet on Hill props right now!
Tight Ends To Sit in Week 15
18. Tanner Hudson, Cincinnati Bengals
19. Brevin Jordan, Houston Texans
20. Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers
The Bengals have plenty of tight ends that steal from Hudson's targets. Meanwhile, Brevin Jordan hasn't made a significant impact with Dalton Schultz out.
Plus, don't bother with Pat Freiermuth as long as Mitch Trubisky is at quarterback.
