Week 15 starts the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues, which makes setting your lineup a do-or-die situation.
While everyone focuses on running backs and wide receivers, quarterbacks have weekly winning upside.
Should fantasy players start Kyler Murray, C.J. Stroud, or Jameis Winston in Week 15?
Should I Start Kyler Murray For Fantasy Football?
Murray is the QB9 for the year, averaging 17.1 fantasy points per game. However, the star quarterback has been inconsistent. He has five games with 20 or more fantasy points. Unfortunately, Murray also had four games with fewer than 12 fantasy points this season.
The star quarterback has 15 passing touchdowns, totaling one or fewer in 76.9% of the games. However, he has added four rushing touchdowns. More importantly, Murray faces the New England Patriots in Week 15. They have surrendered 3.3 passing touchdowns and 25.8 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks over the past three weeks, making Murray a top-six option.

Unfortunately, Stroud faces the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. They have held quarterbacks to 13.3 fantasy points per game, the third-fewest in the NFL. The Dolphins have given up more than 19 fantasy points to quarterback only twice this year. Stroud is a mid-range QB2 with limited upside.
Should I Start Jameis Winston For Fantasy Football?
Winston is the QB26 for the year, averaging 12 fantasy points per game. However, he has been productive since taking over as the starting quarterback. The veteran has averaged two passing touchdowns and 20.3 fantasy points per game in his six starts, totaling 23.6 or more in half of the matchups.
