Amari Cooper or Jakobi Meyers or DK Metcalf: Week 15 Fantasy Playoffs Start/Sit Advice

Week 15 of the 2024 fantasy football season has arrived and it will kick off the playoffs in most league formats. Managers must make sure to optimize all of their lineup positions to reduce the risk of them being eliminated in the first round. For those debating between Amari Cooper, Jakobi Meyers and DK Metcalf for one of their wide receiver spots, here's which one is best pick.

Is Amari Cooper a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Amari Cooper

Amari Cooper improved his overall value in fantasy football when he was traded to the Buffalo Bills, one of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL. He has battled through some injuries this year, but he has finished among the top 24 weekly wide receivers twice in his five games with his new team.

The veteran also set new season-highs with 14 targets and 95 yards in his most recent game last week, so his offensive role appears to be growing. This makes him an intriguing lineup option this week against the Detroit Lions in what is expected to be one of the highest-scoring games on the slate.

Is Jakobi Meyers a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

Jakobi Meyers

Jakobi Meyers has received increased volume as the WR1 for the Las Vegas Raiders since they traded away Davante Adams. This has been even more significant in recent weeks as he has averaged eight receptions on 12 targets across his past three games.

His improved workload has helped Meyers to finish among the top 24 weekly wide receivers four times in his past six games ahead of his matchup against the Atlanta Falcons this week. Their defense has been struggling recently, making him an interesting streamer for fantasy lineups.

Is DK Metcalf a good fantasy pick in Week 15?

DK Metcalf

DK Metcalf has struggled a bit in recent weeks for the Seattle Seahawks following his strong start to the 2024 fantasy football season. He recorded three weekly finishes among the top 10 wide receivers in his first seven games, but has now finished outside of the top 30 in each of the past four weeks.

The Seahawks have been faturing breakout star Jaxon Smith-Njigba in their offense recently, but Metcalf has still been averaging eight targets per game across the past four weeks. This suggests that he could be in line for a breakout game soon, which could potentially come against the Green Bay Packers this week.

Amari Cooper or Jakobi Meyers or DK Metcalf: Who should I start in Week 15 fantasy football?

Who Should I Start

DK Metcalf is the recommended wide receiver to use in Week 15 fantasy football lineups over Jakobi Meyers and Amari Cooper. Despite his recent skid, Metcalf maintains the most upside based on his past results for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Metcalf will score an additonal fantasy point than Meyers and nearly three more than Cooper in PPR scoring formats this week. He is projected to turn in the most yards and is also the most likely to score a touchdown of this trio, making him the preferred pick.
