Week 15 of the 2024 fantasy football season marks the beginning of the playoffs in most leagues. This means that optimizing lineups will be more important than ever with win-or-go-home matchups coming up. This starts with the quarterback position as they are often among the highest-scoring players during each week of the season.
Managers can't go wrong with using Lamar Jackson as he tops the Week 15 fantasy football quarterback rankings. He is already having an excellent season for the Baltimore Ravens and gets an extremely favorable matchup against the New York Giants this week. He is one of the best overall players to target this week and could be in line for a massive performance.
He is joined by Bo Nix as another solid quarterback to target for Week 15 lineups. The Denver Broncos rookie has been consistently productive in recent weeks, finishing among the top 12 fantasy football quarterbacks six times in his past nine games. The Indianapolis Colts have ranked among the worst defenses in the NFL this year, making Nix a strong pick this week.
Among the quarterbacks to fade in Week 15 is Anthony Richardson, who has been extremely inconsistent for the Colts this season. He has finished outside of the top 20 weekly quarterbacks three times in his past five games and draws a brutal road matchup with the Broncos' elite defense this week. They have been one of the best units this year, especially when playing at home.

Russell Wilson is another quarterback to avoid this week, despite his success since taking over as the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has finished among the top 12 weekly quarterbacks four times in his seven starts, but he should be faded against the Philadelphia Eagles. They currently rank as one of the best defenses this season in many categories, including allowing the second-fewest points per game.
Here's how all of them stack up in the Week 15 fantasy football quarterback rankings.
