Many fantasy football leagues have gone from a single starting quarterback to adding a Superflex spot.
While Superflex leagues are fun, they can leave fantasy players struggling with which second quarterback to start each week.
Should fantasy players start Justin Herbert, Aaron Rodgers, or Russell Wilson in Week 15?
Should I Start Justin Herbert For Fantasy Football?
Herbert is the QB16 for the year, averaging 15.2 fantasy points per game. The superstar has 14 passing touchdowns, totaling two or more in only 30.8% of the contests. Unfortunately, he is dealing with multiple injuries. Herbert has scored fewer than 14 fantasy points in back-to-back outings.
JUSTIN HERBERT.
DIME, SEALED, DELIVERED.

However, the superstar has an excellent matchup in Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They have surrendered 21.3 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the most in the NFL. The Buccaneers have surrendered three or more passing touchdowns in four of their past nine games. Herbert is a solid low-end QB1 this week.
Should I Start Aaron Rodgers For Fantasy Football?
Rodgers had a season-high 339 passing yards in Week 14. However, he scored only 17.6 fantasy points, totaling one passing touchdown. The future Hall of Famer has struggled this year, averaging 14.5 fantasy points per game.
Yet, Rodgers has 20 passing touchdowns, the eighth-most in the league. More importantly, he faces the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. They have given up 21 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the most in the NFL. The Jaguars have allowed two or more passing touchdowns in 53.9% of their games. Rodgers is a high-end QB2 in Week 15.
We've all seen that before 🙌

Should I Start Russell Wilson For Fantasy Football?
Wilson made his first start of the year in Week 7 against the New York Jets. The veteran is the QB16 over the past eight weeks, averaging 17.1 fantasy points per game. He has had at least two passing touchdowns in 57.1% of the games, including five over the past two contests.

Unfortunately, Wilson will be without George Pickens this week because of a hamstring injury. Furthermore, he faces a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has held quarterbacks to 14.5 fantasy points per game, the sixth-fewest in the NFL. Wilson is a low-end QB2 this week with limited upside.
