FanDuel Quarterbacks - Week 15 DFS Picks

Josh Allen - at DET ($9,500) 

Allen is coming off a dominant performance in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. The signal-caller threw for 342 yards, ran for 82 yards, and accounted for six touchdowns.

Still, it wasn’t enough for his team to earn the win. Fresh off a loss, the Bills will head to Detroit in Week 15. Undeniably, this will be one of Buffalo’s most difficult games of the year.

With that said, the Bills need a win to gain ground in the AFC, meaning Allen will be ready to get his squad back on track. Of course, his services won’t come cheap, although that is to be expected for an MVP candidate. 

Justin Herbert - vs. TB ($7,500) 

Herbert took a beating in the Sunday night loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. As a result, he didn't practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday.

#Chargers QB Justin Herbert (ankle) is off the injury report.

Coach Jim Harbaugh: “He's got the strength of 10 men.”

However, the 2020 No. 6 overall pick was a full-go on Friday and will play in Week 15 versus Tampa. Despite the loss to Kansas City, the Chargers are still in the hunt for a playoff berth. With an unreliable Bucs’ defense on tap, Herbert should have no problem getting it done for DFS managers.  

Also Consider: Kyler Murray ($7,800) 

FanDuel Running Backs - Week 15 DFS Picks

Chuba Hubbard – vs. DAL ($7,500) 

The end of the 2024-25 campaign can’t come soon enough for the Panthers. With only three wins this season, Carolina will take on Dallas in Week 15.

Unfortunately, rookie Jonathon Brooks suffered an ACL tear in his right knee for the second time, putting an abrupt end to his inaugural year. With Miles Sanders on the Injured Reserve list, Hubbard should handle most of the carries out of the backfield against the Cowboys, a team that has had a tough time against the run this season.  

Rico Dowdle – at CAR ($7,100) 

Chuba Hubbard isn’t the only running back in line for a quality performance at Bank of America Stadium, considering Dowdle will go up against a Panthers defense that has surrendered 1,802 yards and 15 touchdowns to opposing backs this season, both the worst in the NFL.

Dowdle began the year splitting carries with Ezekiel Elliott. While that was the case early on, things are much different at this point of the season. With only one rushing touchdown this season, Dowdle, who has gone for over 100 yards in his previous two appearances, has an excellent chance of finding the end zone versus Carolina.  

Also Consider: Chase Brown ($8,100), Zach Charbonnet ($6,700)

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Week 15 DFS Picks

Ja'Marr Chase- at TEN ($9,400) 

The Bengals are still alive to make the postseason. However, with Cincinnati picking up a much-needed victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night, the team must take care of business in Tennessee.

With a lousy defense, the Bengals' postseason hopes will begin and end on the offensive side of the ball, specifically, the performances of Chase and Joe Burrow. Without question, Chase has been the best wideout in the National Football League this season.

He’s coming off a monster showing, catching 14 of his 18 targets for 177 yards and two scores in Week 14. Although it will be tough for the former LSU Tiger to match that level of productivity, he should continue to get plenty of looks from Burrow.  

Calvin Ridley - vs. CIN ($6,000) 

Ridley had over 1,000 receiver yards with the Jaguars last season. Yet, he’s not a lock to surpass that mark in 2024-25. To be fair, the relationship between Will Levis and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine has compromised some of Ridley’s touchdown opportunities.

Still, the Titans have the luxury of facing a shaky Bengals defense, so Ridley’s odds of having a quality game are higher than usual, even if he doesn’t find the end zone.  

Also Consider: Amon-Ra St. Brown ($8,500), Tee Higgins ($7,800), Ladd McConkey ($7,100 – Questionable), Marvin Harrison Jr. ($6,600) 

FanDuel Tight Ends - Week 15 DFS Picks

Trey McBride – vs. NE ($7,500) 

McBride began the week by logging limited practice sessions on Wednesday and Thursday because of a knee injury. However, he was a full participant on Friday and doesn’t carry an injury designation heading into Sunday’s showdown with the Patriots.

#Cardinals TE Trey McBride (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday vs. the #Patriots.

— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) December 13, 2024

The 25-year-old is having the best season of his career, catching 80 passes for 851 yards. Despite his contributions on the offensive end this season, he still hasn’t scored. But with so much noise surrounding this topic, Kyler Murray should be looking in his direction even more in Week 15, especially inside the red zone.  

Also Consider: Hunter Henry ($5,000)
