Fantasy football playoff decisions are all about maximizing potential while minimizing risk. Wide receivers are often the hardest to predict, with volume, matchups, and quarterback play all influencing their fantasy outlook.
The stakes could not be higher for managers considering Wan'Dale Robinson, Tim Patrick, or Parker Washington.
These wideouts have had flashes of relevance, but can they deliver in Week 15? Let's break down their matchups and roles to see who, if anyone, deserves a starting spot.
Should I Start Wan'Dale Robinson for Fantasy Football?
Wan'Dale Robinson led the New York Giants in targets in Week 14 with 11, but he only pulled in four catches for 28 yards in a loss to the New Orleans Saints. Tommy DeVito is expected to start again in Week 15, which does not inspire much confidence despite Robinson's promising matchup versus the Baltimore Ravens.

Baltimore has given up the second-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, but its recent performances have tightened up. It has gone three weeks without a big game allowed to the position.
While the opportunity is there for the third-year player, his lack of production makes him a desperate flex in deep leagues. Most managers should keep him on the bench in Week 15.
Should I Start Tim Patrick for Fantasy Football?
Tim Patrick flashed in Week 14 with 22.3 PPR points, scoring his first two touchdowns of the season. In the Detroit Lions' win over the Green Bay Packers, the 31-year-old grabbed six passes for 43 yards on seven targets. However, a tough matchup with the Buffalo Bills awaits in Week 15.

Buffalo has been stingy against wideouts, permitting the 12th-fewest fantasy points per game and 11 touchdowns to the position this season.
With Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and Sam LaPorta commanding more consistent target shares, Patrick's Week 14 volume is unlikely to repeat. Despite his recent performance, Patrick is a sit this week due to a crowded offense and a challenging opponent.
Should I Start Parker Washington for Fantasy Football?
The matchup taking on the New York Jets makes this an easy call: sit Parker Washington. New York's defense permits the fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers and has only given up eight touchdowns through the air this season.

Despite injuries to Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis, Washington has not capitalized on his opportunities except for one week. While the second-year player had a breakout game in Week 13 with 103 yards and a touchdown, Week 14 brought just two catches for 15 yards.
Others like Brian Thomas Jr., Travis Etienne Jr., and Evan Engram have been more involved in the offense. Even if Engram (shoulder) is inactive, Washington's outlook remains bleak. Keep him on the bench, as his best fantasy output of the season is likely behind him.
