Russell Wilson or C. J. Stroud or Geno Smith: Who should I start in Week 15 Fantasy Football?

The trio of Russell Wilson, C. J. Stroud and Geno Smith are three strong contenders to start in your fantasy football in Week 15. Although picking a quarterback to start is often straightforward, we are now in playoffs mode, so fantasy owners have to think about their choices carefully.

Is Russell Wilson a good pick in Week 15?

If there's a player you should avoid in Week 15, Wilson is the name. Since he became a starter for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he has done a great job, leading the team with a 6-1 record and throwing 12 touchdowns to just three interceptions, with a 64.8% completion rate.

The reason? He'll face the Philadelphia Eagles, whose defense has allowed just 2,320 yards this season, the second-lowest mark in the league. They have also allowed just 14 passing touchdowns in 13 games. The veteran quarterback is unlikely to have a great Sunday.

Is C. J. Stroud a good pick in Week 15?

An easier matchup will be available for Stroud, who'll play against the Miami Dolphins, whose defense allowed 2,766 passing yards this season and is always prone to enter a shootout.

Miami allowed 319 passing yards to the New York Jets on Sunday, and it's important to point out that Houston has more talent on the offense than Aaron Rodgers' team. Stroud in 2024 has 3,117 passing yards, a 63,3% completion percentage and 15 passing touchdowns.

Even if his numbers aren't that superior, the matchup is easier.

Is Geno Smith a good pick in Week 15?

Even if he has more passing yards than the two other quarterbacks, his level of efficiency has not been great. Since the 2024 season started, Smith has a single game with multiple touchdown passes and no turnovers.

Seattle is winning, but the Green Bay Packers are a tough matchup for many reasons. They'll keep the ball for long with their great offense, and they have the tools to defend. They have already intercepted 12 passes this season.
