A.J. Brown or Jakobi Meyers Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Fantasy football projections for WRs

Week 15 of the 2024 fantasy football season is the first round of the playoffs this year in most league formats. This means it's more important than ever for managers to fully optimize all their starters this week, including their wide receivers. Some of them may be debating between using A.J. Brown and Jakobi Meyers, so here's which one is a better pick.

Is A.J. Brown a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

A.J. Brown

A.J. Brown has been in a bit of a slump for the Philadelphia Eagles in recent weeks, but he is still having another strong fantasy football season. He has finished as the WR36 or worse in three of his last four outings but has also recorded four finishes of WR7 or better in just 10 total games this year.

The superstar wide receiver will look to bounce back in Week 15, but it won't be an easy task against the Pittsburgh Steelers' elite defense. He has recorded at least five receptions in four of his previous five matchups, so his reliable volume suggests that a breakout could be coming soon.

Is Jakobi Meyers a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Jakobi Meyers

Jakobi Meyers has significantly increased his overall volume in recent weeks for the Las Vegas Raiders since they traded away Davante Adams. He has been targeted at least 10 times in four of his last five matchups and has recorded six or more receptions in five of his previous six outings.

The veteran has also finished among the top 25 weekly fantasy football wide receivers during this same stretch, so he carries some momentum into his Week 15 matchup. It will come in a favorable situation against the Atlanta Falcons' struggling defense.
