Falcons vs. Raiders MNF Fantasy Football Week 15 Sit 'Em picks
Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool is extremely valuable to managers who utilize it. It gives them weekly projections and lineup suggestions to help determine which players should be targeted and faded each week. For this Monday Night Football showdown in Week 15, it has identified several players that are better off avoided in the first round of the fantasy playoffs.
Some of those fades include the depth wide receivers from both teams, such as Ray-Ray McCloud III and Tre Tucker. They have both provided fantasy upside earlier this year when playing in the right situations, but this week is not one of them. They have struggled to consistently turn in valuable performances in recent weeks, so they can't be trusted in starting lineups right now.
Some of the other fades this week include Kirk Cousins and Kyle Pitts, who have seen their weekly values plummet recently. Cousins hasn't finished better than QB17 in any of his last five games and has gone four consecutive games without a touchdown pass.
Pitts has similarly struggled in recent weeks for the Falcons, finishing as the TE34 or worse in four of his previous five games. He has also failed to score a touchdown in 11 of his 13 games, so he should be avoided in Week 15 fantasy football, despite a favorable matchup against the Raiders.
