Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III is a risky start in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. No matter the matchup this season, Walker has been very unpredictable for fantasy purposes. He is hovering around 50-55% of the snaps while splitting time with fellow running back Zach Charbonnet. Despite a low snap count and relatively low volume, Walker has been relatively efficient as a runner, especially over the second half of the season. Additionally, his involvement as a receiver has helped boost him into a flex player with upside. However, Walker cedes just about every touchdown opportunity to Charbonnet. Walker has scored just one touchdown since Week 3 of this season. His lack of touchdown opportunities has resulted in low-end fantasy performances. The Colts are No. 14 against opposing running backs in fantasy. They are also allowing just 3.87 yards per carry to running backs. Walker may be able to buck that trend this week, but he needs to find the end zone to provide any sort of upside. He is a possible flex player this week, but you could very well end up with another 3.8-point dud as we got from Walker in Week 14 against the Falcons.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet will be a touchdown-dependent flex in Week 15. At this point in the season, we know what the deal is with Charbonnet. If he scores a touchdown, then you are generally happy. The trick is to figure out when he is most likely to score. The Colts have a solid defense, but it is nothing that the Seahawks' offense cannot handle. With that in mind, Seattle should find itself in scoring position throughout the game. Charbonnet is a good bet to receive a carry or two inside the five-yard line, and he has been relatively effective at converting those types of carries into touchdowns in 2025. If he does not score a touchdown, do not expect Charbonnet to do much in fantasy. Charbonnet does not receive enough volume, nor is he efficient enough, to score many fantasy points as a runner. Additionally, Charbonnet is virtually a non-factor as a receiver, with several games this season featuring zero catches. Charbonnet can be flexed this week, but he will remain extremely touchdown-dependent.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is a potential streaming option in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have been middle-of-the-road against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy this season. Additionally, when Darnold is firing on all cylinders, he is virtually matchup-proof. Darnold should have no issues finding his top wide receivers in this game. If he keeps the turnovers down, Darnold has a great chance to hover around 250 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns. Darnold had faltered over the last handful of weeks before getting back on track in the second half of Week 14 against the Falcons. Perhaps he can carry that momentum into this week. Darnold is not a must-start by any means, but if you have a tough quarterback situation, you could do a lot worse than Darnold in Week 1 of the fantasy playoffs.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Rashid Shaheed finally broke out as a member of the Seahawks in Week 14 against the Atlanta Falcons. Although his production was buoyed by a punt return for a touchdown, he could carry his six-target momentum into Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Shaheed is still hovering around 50% of the offensive snaps, but Seattle seemed to make a point of getting him more involved down the field in Week 14. Shaheed is a talented outside receiver. If he can receive more opportunities down the field rather than as a gadget player, he could be great for this team. The Colts are No. 27 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. They have simply had issues containing wide receivers despite their addition of cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) at the trade deadline. Gardner is also out for this game If Seattle can continue to feed Shaheed, he could become a fantasy revelation over the final few weeks of the fantasy football playoffs. Keep an eye on Shaheed's production this week and consider throwing him on the back of your bench if you have the space.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce was essentially eliminated from last week's contest against the Houston Texans. Kelce was held to one catch for eight yards in the 10-20 loss to Houston. The veteran tight end was a non-factor, finishing sixth on the team in receiving yardage. Week 14 was the first time this season that Kelce finished without multiple catches, so it can only go up from here, but he does face a difficult matchup in Week 15. Kelce will take on the Los Angeles Chargers, who have allowed the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. The Chiefs need to win the rest of their games this season if they have any chance of making the playoffs, and Kelce should be heavily involved in making that happen. Kelce is ranked TE7 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a mid-range TE1 with another difficult matchup this week.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) missed Friday's practice with an illness and is listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup against the New York Giants. It's not ideal that Samuel was added to the injury report late in the week, but it'd be a surprise if his illness ultimately prevents him from suiting up in Week 15. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on the injury report come Sunday morning. The former San Francisco 49ers wideout is coming off a quiet game against the Minnesota Vikings, with four catches for 27 yards on six targets. He's had a solid first season overall in Washington, hauling in 62 of his 81 targets for 561 yards and five touchdowns to go with 13 carries for 49 yards and a touchdown in 12 games. Samuel will profile as a solid WR3/flex option on Sunday if he's active, but Terry McLaurin's presence certainly lowers his fantasy ceiling and floor.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers is in a great position to succeed in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Myers is on a five-week streak of scoring at least 13 fantasy points. With Seattle's offense kicking a lot of field goals of late and finding themselves in scoring positions in general, Myers has had every opportunity to score for fantasy. Myers has been especially effective as a long-range kicker lately. He has made at least one kick of at least 40 yards in every game but one this year. That type of base is anchoring a stellar fantasy season. The Colts boast a solid defense, but even great defenses have been unable to keep Seattle out of scoring position this season. Start Myers with confidence once again in Week 15.

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is right back in the mix as a WR1 in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. Smith-Njigba has just one dud this season. Outside of his 4.8 fantasy point performance against the Vikings in Week 14, JSN has been an absolute league-winner this year. Smith-Njigba has been matchup-proof this season, and his play has been great both at home and on the road. To add to the excitement for the week, the Colts are No. 27 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy this season. As if JSN needed more space to operate, the Colts have been very leaky in the secondary, even since adding cornerback Sauce Gardner. RotoBaller currently has Smith-Njigba ranked as the No. 1 wide receiver for the week, and rightfully so. If you have JSN on your team for the first week of the fantasy playoffs, you should be very excited about the production you may be about to experience.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional game against the New York Giants. Rodriguez was a non-participant on Wednesday, but he was able to practice in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. The third-year running back has operated as Washington's lead back in recent weeks, handling double-digit carries in four of the past games. He exited early with a shoulder injury during the first half of the Week 10 game against the Lions after recording six carries for 16 yards and a touchdown. Rodriguez has totaled 54 carries for 253 yards with three rushing scores since then. He'll profile as a solid flex option in a favorable Week 15 matchup against the Giants if he's active, while rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols would handle the work if Rodriguez is unable to go.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy caught three passes for 55 yards to lead the team in last week's 10-20 loss to the Houston Texans. The Texans focused their defensive attention on Rashee Rice, which allowed Worthy to emerge with the most receiving yards on the team in Week 14. Worthy has quietly strung together three games with at least three catches and 55 yards, giving him a serviceable fantasy floor, albeit without much of a ceiling. The speedy wideout has only topped 70 yards once this season and has one receiving touchdown in 10 games. Things may not get easier as Worthy faces the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 15. The Chargers defense has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, making it a tough spot for Worthy to succeed. Fellow receiver Marquise Brown has already been ruled out for this week's contest, which could open up more opportunities for Worthy, but the matchup is difficult nonetheless. Worthy is ranked WR45 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a desperation flex option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was cleared from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 15's divisional matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. McConkey was limited every day in practice this week with a foot injury, but he will head into Sunday without an injury designation. The second-year wideout is coming off one of his least productive games of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles, recording just one catch for 12 yards on five targets. It marks his second game this season with just one catch, with the other coming back in Week 4. McConkey will look to rebound against the Chiefs, whom he faced back in Week 1 and tallied six catches for 74 yards on nine targets. The second-year wideout will have a higher fantasy ceiling if receiver Quentin Johnston (calf) is ruled out.

Coming off the best game of his young NFL career, Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy will see another quality fantasy matchup when the Vikings travel to Dallas in Week 15. The former Michigan star has been particularly hot-and-cold, even for a young quarterback, but managers in Superflex formats can consider him an option this week against the Cowboys' defense. While Dallas leads the NFL in pressure percentage, the Cowboys rank 31st in passing yards allowed, 30th in net yards per attempt, and 32nd in passing touchdowns surrendered. The biggest issue for McCarthy has been turnovers, but he's coming off a week in which he played turnover-free ball and set a career-best mark for passer rating in a decisive win against Washington. McCarthy is rushing for nearly five yards per attempt and still has an excellent collection of weapons, giving him lineup potential if he can continue to build upon last week's blueprint.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was held in check by the Houston Texans in last week's loss. The Chiefs WR1 caught four passes for 34 yards, finishing third on the team in receiving yardage. Despite his lackluster performance, Rice still finished with a team-high eight targets, demonstrating the team's determination to keep him involved. The 26-year-old may once again struggle to find success this week against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers defense is allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, making them one of the most difficult matchups at the position. Rice has been the team's focal point on offense since his return, so he should continue to be heavily involved despite the matchup. Rice was also listed on the injury report with a hamstring injury this week, but was a full participant in every practice and does not have an injury designation for Sunday's game. Rice is ranked WR4 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a top-end WR1 option again this week despite his recent struggles.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) was cleared from the injury report Friday and is good to go for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Herbert broke his left hand during the Chargers' Week 13 win over the Raiders and played through the injury last week against the Eagles. The team will continue to manage his reps during practice, but he isn't expected to miss any game action. The 27-year-old signal-caller wasn't at his best in the overtime win over the Eagles, completing just 12 of 26 passes for 139 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding 10 carries for 66 yards. He took a career-high seven sacks as he continues to operate behind a makeshift offensive line. Herbert's fantasy upside is capped due to his injury while working with poor protection from his offensive line. He profiles more as a QB2 in the Week 15 divisional matchup against the Chiefs on the road.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (Achilles) should be considered a high-risk, high-reward WR3/flex candidate with the Vikings set to travel to Dallas in Week 15. Minnesota's typically dangerous passing game has taken a significant step back in 2025 as second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy has faced both injuries and periods of struggle, prompting the Vikings to simplify the offense and prioritize their running attack. McCarthy has favored Addison, however, as the receiver has 17 targets in the past two weeks. That offers breakout potential against a Dallas defense that ranks 30th in net yards per attempt allowed, 32nd in passing touchdowns allowed, and 32nd against fantasy wide receivers. Off the injury report and now facing a quality matchup, Addison has a pathway to a big week, albeit with risk, given the Vikings' offensive volatility this year.

Week 15, which marks the start of the fantasy playoffs in many leagues, brings about an especially difficult call for fantasy managers who roster Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson ahead of a primetime game against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. On one hand, Jefferson remains one of the game's best; he's healthy, and he's up against a Cowboys defense that has allowed more points to fantasy receivers than any other team. On the other hand, the superstar receiver's recent lack of production is staggering. Jefferson hasn't finished among the top 20 PPR receivers since Week 9, and he has just 15 combined receiving yards in Minnesota's past two games. Managers who have been burned surely feel cautious; however, the matchup is favorable, and Jefferson is still too good to completely overlook. Factoring in the offense's struggles as they break in quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Jefferson is more of a WR2/high-end flex, but there is serious potential against a Dallas defense that has given up a ton of production to wide receivers this season.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason is coming off a solid performance last week, but remains a risky, mid-tier option when his team travels to Dallas in Week 15. The first-year Viking has been solid when called upon, but has only finished better than 20th among PPR running backs one time this season. The Vikings have favored the run more than usual as they attempt to acclimate second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy, though Mason has drawn double-digit touches only once in the past five weeks as Minnesota has continued to favor Aaron Jones Sr. The Cowboys rank a lowly 28th against PPR running backs, but Mason has just 13 catches on the season and has become a touchdown-dependent fantasy play. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 41 running back for Week 15, Mason is likely best saved for deeper formats.

From RotoBaller

The Minnesota Vikings may have developed a rest-of-season formula last week, which could mean continued RB3/flex potential for Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) against the Dallas Cowboys. In a 31-0 rout of Washington last week, the Vikings leaned on their running game, which led to 14 carries and 76 rushing yards for Jones. The veteran still hasn't had a breakout game this season, but has maintained a steady floor, even as the Vikings have struggled for much of the year. Additionally, he'll see a plus matchup against a Dallas defense that ranks 28th against PPR running backs and presents added potential for Jones, who has 31 targets in nine games. Jones has been battling a shoulder injury for over a month now, but has still appeared in all five games since sustaining the injury, so managers can consider him a high-floor flex option in Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Despite going up against a struggling Dallas Cowboys defense in Week 15, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard should be considered an average fantasy kicker option this week. Reichard, the 12th-ranked fantasy kicker, has been mostly reliable despite the Vikings' struggles on offense. He's 22-for-24 on field-goal attempts, which includes eight makes from 50 or more yards. Ironically, Dallas has been one of the poorer matchups for fantasy kickers, but mostly because its defense is having such a hard time getting to fourth down. The Cowboys have allowed 29 passing touchdowns and a 47.8% third-down conversion rate, both the worst marks in the NFL, and they are allowing red-zone touchdowns at the third-highest rate in the league. While Reichard has been consistent, managers may want to consider a stronger option if they're in the fantasy playoffs.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (shin) is coming off a highlight-worthy touchdown last week, but a decrease in passing volume will once again keep him as a low-end TE2 option when the Vikings travel to Dallas in Week 15. Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy played the best game of his NFL career last week, which coincided with a tight-end-friendly gameplan. All three of McCarthy's passing touchdowns went to tight ends -- two to Josh Oliver and one to Hockenson -- but just three overall targets went Hockenson's way as Minnesota prioritized its running game. The Cowboys have been abysmal against the pass overall, surrendering the most passing touchdowns and second-most yards, but receivers have done much more damage: Dallas ranks a respectable 11th against half-PPR tight ends. While Hockenson is off the injury report, he's averaging just 3.5 catches and 28.5 yards per game, so he's best saved for formats that start more than one tight end.
