The fantasy football playoffs began in Week 15, and four games from this week's slate are in the books. Unfortunately, fantasy managers will have to compete in this week's win-or-go-home contest without Tyreek Hill. The NFL receiving leader will not play against the New York Jets due to an ankle injury.
With Hill out, a few Dolphins' receivers enter the fantasy radar. In deep formats, many fantasy managers might be forced to start one of these three options.
Should you start Cedrick Wilson Jr., Braxton Berrios, or Chase Claypool in Week 15? Let's get into it.

Should I Start Cedrick Wilson Jr. for Fantasy Football?
Baller Move: Sit In 14-Team Leagues
In 11 games this year, Wilson Jr. has hauled in 14 of his 23 targets for 201 yards and two touchdowns. With Hill out, he's likely to see extra opportunities as the team's outside receiver. However, the Jets have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. meaning Wilson is probably worth avoiding.
He's likely the best option outside of Waddle for Miami this week, but a matchup with Sauce Gardner is not promising. Ultra-deep league fantasy managers can roll the dice on him, but there's no reason to trust him in shallower leagues.
Should I Start Braxton Berrios for Fantasy Football?
Baller Move: Sit In 14-Team Leagues
Berrios has caught just 22 passes for 207 yards and one touchdown this year, so he's also a shaky flex option, even in deep leagues. He hasn't posted a snap share of 60% or higher in any game this year, but he could benefit the most from Hill's absence. However, the matchup is worrisome, making him a dice roll in leagues of all shapes and sizes.
Should I Start Chase Claypool for Fantasy Football?
Baller Move: Sit In 16-Team Leagues
Claypool has not played a single offensive snap in each of the team's last four games. He has continued to disappoint after being traded from the Chicago Bears early in the season, so he's a clear fade in all leagues.
There's a chance he'll see a few snaps and targets today, but based on his body of work over the last two seasons, there's no reason to be optimistic about his outlook.
