The final stretch of the 2024-25 NFL regular season has arrived, so it is crucial for managers to set optimal Week 15 Fantasy football lineups. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young was one of the biggest Fantasy football busts early in the season, but he has finished in the top 20 at his position in five of his last six starts. On Sunday, he will face a Cowboys defense that ranks No. 28 against opposing quarterbacks this season, allowing nearly 21 Fantasy points per game, giving Young an opportunity to post another quality outing. Where should you include Young in your Week 15 Fantasy football QB rankings? Using a complete set of Week 15 Fantasy football rankings is the only way to know if you are making the correct start-sit decisions. Before setting your Week 15 Fantasy football lineups, be sure to check out the Week 15 Fantasy football rankings from the proven computer model at SportsLine.

Here are several sportsbooks to bet on NFL games this week, along with the various NFL sportsbook promos they currently offer.
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Week 15 Fantasy football QB picks:
1. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens: Jackson remains the top scorer in Fantasy football this season, finishing as a top 12 Fantasy quarterback in all but one game. He completed 23 of 36 passes for 237 yards and two touchdowns while adding 79 yards on eight carries in a loss to Philadelphia in Week 13. Jackson is facing a Giants team that has the worst record in the league and ranks No. 28 in defensive DVOA against the pass.
2. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals: Burrow has thrown for at least 300 yards and three touchdowns in four consecutive games, making him one of the hottest players in Fantasy football. Cincinnati desperately needs another big game from Burrow on Sunday, as the Bengals are fighting for their playoff lives. He is facing an above-average Tennessee defense, but Burrow’s form is too strong to be overlooked.
3. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills: The MVP favorite became the first quarterback to catch, rush and throw for a touchdown in the same game two weeks ago. He became the first player to rush and throw for three touchdowns each in the same game last week, posting massive Fantasy numbers in both contests. Allen has a tricky matchup against Detroit this week, but Fantasy managers can trust him to keep his MVP trajectory intact. See more top QBs here.
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Week 15 Fantasy football RB picks:
1. Derrick Henry, Baltimore Ravens: Henry is coming off a bye week and is facing a Giants defense that has allowed more than 2,000 scrimmage yards to opposing running backs this season. The Ravens are favored by more than two touchdowns in this contest, so the game script should call for a heavy dose of Henry on Sunday.
2. Saquon Barkley, Philadelphia Eagles: The Eagles star was held out of the end zone by the Panthers last week, but he still ran for 124 yards to top the century mark for the seventh time in his last eight games. Barkley is facing a Steelers defense that has allowed an average of 113.2 scrimmage yards per game to opposing running backs this season, so he remains near the top of the running back rankings.
3. Bijan Robinson, Atlanta Falcons: Robinson has not been fazed by Atlanta’s struggles, posting his seventh top-12 Fantasy finish in his last eight games in last week’s loss to the Vikings. The 22-year-old has gone over 100 scrimmage yards in all seven of those games while scoring a touchdown in six of them, and Atlanta will continue to lean heavily on him due to quarterback Kirk Cousins’ rough stretch. See more top RBs here.
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Week 15 Fantasy football WR picks:
1. Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals: After catching 14 passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns while carrying the ball once for 14 yards in a win over the Cowboys, Chase now has three games this season of at least 190 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. He’s the NFL leader in receptions (93), receiving yards (1,319) and receiving touchdowns (15), and there’s simply no reason to bench him ever barring injury.
2. Nico Collins, Houston Texans: Collins missed four games entirely and played less than 50% of the snaps in two others because of a hamstring injury and a snap count limit, but he still has 49 catches for 832 yards and four touchdowns in eight games. He’s had an extra week to continue rehabbing his hamstring after playing less than 80% of snaps in his first three games back and he shouldn’t have any limitations moving forward.
3. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings: The 25-year-old is coming off his best Fantasy football output of the season after having seven receptions for 132 yards and two touchdowns last week against the Falcons. He was the WR4 in Fantasy football on the week, even with his teammate Jordan Addison finishing as WR3 after Sam Darnold threw for 347 yards and five touchdowns for Minnesota. Jefferson is WR2 in Fantasy football this season and remains an elite option for Fantasy football lineups. See more top WRs here.
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top Week 15 Fantasy football TE picks:
1. Brock Bowers, Las Vegas Raiders: Bowers leads NFL tight ends in receptions (87) and also set a single-season record in that category for a rookie tight end. He also leads his position group in receiving yards (933) and targets (118). Now he’ll match up with a Falcons pass defense that ranks 25th in the NFL.
2. Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals: McBride has been targeted a staggering 41 times over the last three weeks and has 31 catches for 299 yards during that span. His only touchdown on the season came on a running play but he was targeted a season-high four times inside the 10-yard line in a Week 14 loss against the Seahawks.
3. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs: For the most important plays, Patrick Mahomes continues to seek out Kelce. The future Hall of Fame tight end had five receptions for 45 yards last week and hauled in a crucial 9-yard reception on third-and-7 following the two-minute warning to set up the winning field goal. Kelce is TE5 on Fantasy football despite averaging the fewest receiving yards (52.5) of his career but he’s had at least 45 yards in six of his last seven games. The Chiefs play the Browns, who allowed 48 yards and a touchdown to Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth last week. See more top TEs here.
Here’s a look at SportsLine’s top three Week 15 Fantasy football D/ST picks:
1. Ravens D/ST: The Ravens are a bit of conundrum, as they’re the worst pass defense in the NFL but the best run defense. Luckily, the Giants have no passing game to speak of with either Drew Lock or Tommy DeVito starting at quarterback on Sunday.
2. Vikings D/ST: Minnesota ranks 17th in total defense but sixth in scoring defense, in large part because it’s one of the most disruptive units in football. The Vikings lead the NFL with 20 interceptions and rank fourth in sacks (40). The Bears mustered four yards in the first half against the 49ers in Week 14 and only managed 162 for the game.
3. Chiefs D/ST: Kansas City hasn’t been quite as dominant defensively this season as it was in 2023, but the Chiefs still rank seventh in points allowed and sixth in yards allowed. Now they’ll take on a Browns offense that has moved the ball effectively since Jameis Winston entered the lineup but has struggled with turnovers, giving the ball away nine times in the last three weeks. See more top D/ST here.
