Modified Dec 18, 2022 09:30 GMT

Week 15 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season marks the beginning of the playoffs in most leagues. It also features all 32 NFL teams in action as the bye weeks have all concluded. This means managers will enter their most critical game of the 2022 Fantasy Football season, but will have a full slate of available options to choose from when setting their lineups.

The quarterbacks are the highest scoring players in Fantasy Football. Managers must pay close attention to their weekly matchups in order to optimize this position. Obtaining a massive quarterback score may be what helps a fantasy advance, while a disappointing quarterback performance could mark the end of your Fantasy Football season.

Justin Fields has been one of the most pleasant surprises of the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has finished inside the top ten quarterbacks in each of his last seven games, including five top-fives and two QB1's. While the Philadelphia Eagles have an excellent defense, Fields should be trusted in the fantasy lineup for as long as his scorching hot streak continues.

Dak Prescott - Dallas Cowboys vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

Dak Prescott will be looking to bounce back in Week 15 following a disappointing performance last week against the Houston Texans. He has an ideal matchup to do so in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. They rank in the bottom eight in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. This game also has shootout potential against second-year breakout quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Daniel Jones - New York Giants vs. Washington Commanders

Daniel Jones currently ranks among the top ten quarterbacks in total fantasy points scored. He has also finished among the top 12 quarterbacks in three of his last four games, including in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders. He faces off against them again in Week 15 and is a solid streaming quarterback option.

NFL Week 15 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Sit 'Em

Derek Carr - Las Vegas Raiders vs. New England Patriots

While Davante Adams continues to be one of the best wide receivers during the Fantasy Football season, Derek Carr has been one of the most disappointing quarterbacks. He has finished inside the top ten quarterbacks just twice in his 13 games. He's unlikely to turn things around against the New England Patriots and their top 12 passing defense.

Tom Brady - Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Tom Brady led the entire NFL in passing yards and touchdowns during the 2021 NFL season. The 2022 season has been a much different story. He ranks just 20th in fantasy points per game in 2022 after a QB3 finish last season. He now enters a challenging matchup in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

While Joe Burrow and their offense gets most of the credit for their success, their defense has been quietly impressive. This includes ranking in the top five against opposing fantasy quarterbacks.

Jared Goff - Detroit Lions vs. New York Jets

Jared Goff finished inside the top eight quarterbacks in Fantasy Football four times during the 2022 season. All four performances occurred while playing in a home game against a favorable opponent. Week 15 presents a bigger challenge in a road game against an excellent defense. The New York Jets rank towards the top of the NFL in almost every defensive category.
