Fantasy Football Week 15 Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em

Fantasy football sit-and-start advice should always be relative and league-dependent. Note that some players are targeted for DFS. Good luck with your Week 15 lineups!

Start: Ty Chandler

Sit: Jake Browning

Chandler saw 79% of the second-half snaps last week after Alexander Mattison exited with an ankle injury. Mattison is out Sunday, so Chandler figures to get 15-18 touches against a soft Bengals run defense. Chandler will be helped by a surging Vikings defense, Nick Mullens replacing Josh Dobbs and the return of Justin Jefferson (again).

Browning threw 91 touchdown passes as a senior in high school and deserves credit for winning back-to-back games, but his fantasy production has been something of a mirage. He’s benefited from Joe Mixon getting stopped at the one-yard line three times over the last two weeks, with the QB punching in two scores at the goal line. Moreover, Browning somehow already has the most passing yards on backfield screens among all quarterbacks this season, as he owes Chase Brown for last week’s big play. Browning’s air yards per attempt would rank last in the league by a mile if he qualified.

Browning faced a couple of highly favorable matchups over the last two weeks, and the Bengals now get an incredibly stingy Minnesota D that’s allowed just one opponent to hit their implied team total over their last 10 games; Vikings matchups have averaged the sixth-fewest combined plays since losing Kirk Cousins. Browning has proven to be an above-average backup who won’t sink the Bengals offense, but he belongs on fantasy benches this week.

Start: Diontae Johnson, Zack Moss

Johnson has scored in back-to-back games and led Pittsburgh in targets last week with Mitch Trubisky starting. George Pickens has become an afterthought in the Steelers offense, and Johnson plays indoors this week against a beatable Colts secondary.

Moss has killed fantasy teams (and DFS lineups) while averaging just 7.2 fantasy points over the last two weeks. But he’s…
