Matchup We Love - QB Kirk Cousins
Kirk Cousins has struggled in recent weeks, but he can be a solid QB2 play in Week 15 against the Raiders. Las Vegas has given up the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season while allowing a top-12 fantasy quarterback in four of the past five games. As a result, Cousins does have some potential in Superflex formats this week.
Matchup We Love - QB Desmond Ridder
Desmond Ridder will likely draw the start in Week 15 after Aidan O’Connell left last week’s game early due to a knee injury. Although Ridder has never really been a strong fantasy option, he does have potential in deeper Superflex formats this week. The Falcons have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks while allowing 26 passing touchdowns this season (tied for the most in the NFL).
Matchup We Love - WR Jakobi Meyers
Even with Ridder under center, Jakobi Meyers will continue to be a solid WR2 option in Week 15. This Falcons secondary just allowed both Jordan Addison and Justin Jefferson to score over 30 PPR fantasy points a week ago, and Meyers has seen double-digit targets in three straight games. So, make sure to get him into your lineups this week against an Atlanta defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wideouts.
Matchup We Love - TE Kyle Pitts
It might not be wise to start Kyle Pitts in fantasy this week. He has caught one pass or fewer in four of the past five games and doesn’t seem to be a major part of this Atlanta offense. However, Pitts could be a potential TE1 option in deeper leagues in a great matchup against the Raiders. Las Vegas has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season.
Other Matchup - RB Sincere McCormick
The buzz around Sincere McCormick is real. He is averaging 5.47 yards per carry on the ground this year and just totaled a career-high 78 rush yards against the Buccaneers last week. McCormick was also named the team’s starter out of the backfield moving forward. As a result, he could be a potential flex play in Week 15 against a Falcons defense that is allowing almost 4.5 yards per carry on the ground this season.
Other Matchup - RB Bijan Robinson
Bijan Robinson will remain a must-start in Week 15 against the Raiders. Robinson has scored over 20 PPR fantasy points in seven of the past eight games and has seen 56 touches over the past two weeks. So, keep him in your lineups this week as a strong RB1 play.
Other Matchup - Falcons WRs
Despite Kirk Cousins’ struggles in the passing game in recent weeks, both Drake London and Darnell Mooney have remained solid options in fantasy. London has totaled at least 17 PPR fantasy points in two of the past four games, and Mooney just totaled 142 receiving yards in last week’s loss. As a result, both wideouts will be viable plays this week. London will be a low-end WR1 option following his second straight double-digit target game, while Mooney will be more of a high-end WR3 play against the Raiders.
Other Matchup - TE Brock Bowers
Brock Bowers should remain in fantasy lineups this week against the Falcons. Bowers had a disappointing showing last week against the Buccaneers, only catching three passes for 49 yards. But he’ll be a strong TE1 option in Week 15. The rookie has finished as a top-6 fantasy tight end in six of the past nine games.
