It’s been a long season already and there are still value picks available for you to choose. Today we go over some of week 15 standouts and hopefully you can use some of these to make a winning week.
Too start off we’ll discuss the QB situation around the NFL. We of course have a lot of expensive QB’s this week, so you may want to go after a QB that may surprise you.
Johnny Manziel – Although was are not a big fan of his attitude, we are looking at a QB priced at $5900 at Draft Kings. We are talking about another rushing QB. He is someone who can not only gain a lot of yards with his legs, but he may scoot into the endzone as well. If the passing game clicks with Josh Gordon early, we could see some big numbers coming his way.
Joe Flacco – Not the most flashy QB in the league, but with a good matchup against Jacksonville, you can ride him as your QB. You never know what defense will show up for Jacksonville, but it’s a low risk option if you need cap room. He has had a couple good weeks in a row, so a let down may come, but we don’t think this week is the case. Priced at $6,900.
Latavius Murray
Latavius Murray – The Raiders are starting to come alive and with a healthy dose of Latavius Murray, you may see a couple of big runs. With a salary of $4,000, this gives you room to add guys like Foster and Charles. We’ve been watching this kid and we like what he brings to daily fantasy.
LeGarrette Blount – For $4,400 you could have a cheap three TD running back or someone that could just suit up for the game. You really don’t know with New England these days. For what it’s worth, they know Blount and they feel comfortable with him in the backfield. They may also be resting Gray for the playoffs. If the run game is working this is a nice sleeper for your lineup.
Marquess Wilson – Brandon Marshall is sidelined and Jay Cutler likes to throw the ball. Although we will see a heavy does of Forte, Jefferey and Bennett, there needs to be one more target. If he gets a big score it could give you the win in your game. For $3,000, he will give you a lot of potential, not to mention allow you to get bigger players at wide receiver. How about Calvin Johnson to go along with him. CJ is $9,400.
Cole Beasley – We know the number one target in Dallas, but a huge asset in the lineup has been Cole. Jason Witten may steal a TD, but if the scoring gets high, Cole may get a few catches and a score as well. He knows how to get open.
Donte Moncrief – Besides Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck is the hottest QB in the business. Although Reggie Wayne is due for a bounce back game. TY seems to get a lot of coverage, but they now have to follow Donte as well. The thing is, they aren’t that concerned with him yet. He can bring in some big plays and push your team to victory. For $4,000, you may have a real nice sleeper with a lot of value.
Zach Ertz
Zach Ertz – Although Zach has fallen off the happy train early in the season, he is starting to reappear for fantasy players. Tight Ends have done well against the Cowboys, so look for him to get 5 catches and 55 yards with a Touchdown. A fairly cheap option for Tight End picks.
There are of course a lot of different equations you can come up with, but you must add a sleeper or two to get a really powerful squad in other positions. Be smart with your picks and things should work out.
