Modified Dec 09, 2024 17:30 GMT

Week 15 of the 2024 fantasy football has arrived and managers must begin working on their starting lineups. The fantasy playoffs start this week in many leagues, so it's more important than ever to ensure every position is optimized. A full slate of 16 games is on the schedule with bye weeks completed, so here are some of the best targets and fades.

Fantasy Football Week 15 Start 'Em picks

Malik Nabers is having a strong 2024 fantasy football season with the New York Giants, ranking as the overall WR17 this year. The superstar rookie has excelled despite the Giants featuring one of the worst offenses in the NFL. He will have an ideal opportunity to keep things rolling when he faces the Baltimore Ravens, who allow the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

He is joined by Bo Nix, who has also been one of the best rookies in fantasy football this year. The Denver Broncos quarterback has finished as the QB12 or better in six of his past nine games and gets a favorable Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Their defense has struggled in all areas this season, making Nix an excellent lineup option.

Fantasy Football Week 15 Sit 'Em picks

Since returning from injury, Cleveland Browns RB Nick Chubb has played in seven games in the 2024 fantasy football season. He has failed to return to his status as an elite running back option, recording just one weekly finish better than the RB20. This makes him a fade this week against the Kansas City Chiefs, who also allow the fewest fantasy points per game to running backs.

Another fade in Week 15 is Kyle Pitts, who is having another frustrating fantasy football season with the Atlanta Falcons. He finishes among the top 15 weekly tight ends six times in his first eight games but has now finished as the TE28 or worse in four of his past five games. Despite a favorable Week 15 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, he can't be trusted in starting lineups.
