Who’s ready to talk about wide receivers for the fantasy playoffs? As the season progresses, injuries occur, and quarterback play changes, creating a ripple effect throughout the team—especially for wide receivers. At this critical point in the season, making the most informed decisions about who belongs in your lineup and who should be on the bench is essential.

In this article, I will examine Malik Nabers, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and A.J. Brown, each dealing with unique situations.

I'll highlight recent statistics for these players, share my recommendations for Week 15, and evaluate whether they should be in your starting lineups.

Should I Start Malik Nabers for Fantasy Football?

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers has shown his talent throughout the year, and there is no denying that he has the skill set to be a top pass catcher in the NFL for years to come. His struggles in 2024, however, have stemmed from poor quarterback play. Despite the constant quarterback changes the Giants have experienced, Nabers has still produced for fantasy managers, posting 80 receptions, 819 yards, and three touchdowns, ranking as WR17 for the 2024 season.

This week, the Giants face the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the second-most points to opposing wide receivers this season. Additionally, the Giants are expected to be in a pass-heavy game script as (+16) point underdogs. While this situation works in Nabers' favor, inconsistent quarterback play will likely limit his ceiling.

Nabers' talent alone keeps him a volume-based WR2 for Week 15, and the matchup on paper makes him a good start this week. RotoBaller ranks him as WR23 for Week 15.

Should I Start Jaxon Smith-Njigba for Fantasy Football?

Would you believe me if I told you that Seattle's wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba was the sixth-best wide receiver in 2024? Smith-Njigba has burst onto the scene over the last six weeks, providing fantasy managers with 10-plus points during that span.

The second-year wide receiver out of Ohio State has been showing why he was a first-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. On the year, Smith-Njigba has been very productive, posting a stat line of 75 receptions, 911 yards, and 5 touchdowns through 11 games. On the season, Smith-Njigba has more catches, yards, and touchdowns than fellow wide receiver DK Metcalf.

Smith-Njigba has worked his way into a must-start every week, regardless of the matchup. This week, he faces the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, which will be a pivotal game for both teams as the NFC playoff race shakes out. Start Smith-Njigba with confidence this Sunday. RotoBaller ranks him as WR16 for Week 15.

Should I Start AJ Brown for Fantasy Football?

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught all four of his targets for 43 yards in the Eagles’ Week 14 win over the Panthers. It was an underwhelming performance for the star wide receiver, but he remains a must-start for fantasy managers in Week 15. Before Week 14, Brown produced a 30% target share over his previous four games, resulting in nine or more fantasy points in each contest.

The Eagles are a run-first team, led by star running back Saquon Barkley and their mobile quarterback Jalen Hurts. However, they may face difficulties running the football this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which could lead them to rely more heavily on their star wide receiver.

The Eagles are pushing for the top seed in the NFC and have been playing good football lately, winning their last nine games. Expect the Eagles to get Brown involved early in their Week 15 matchup. RotoBaller ranks him as WR8 for Week 15.
