Fantasy Football: 7 sleeper options if you need to dig deep in Week 15

Week 14 was a mediocre one for your loyal sleeper page. The Tennessee passing game did little and the tight ends fizzled out — Will Dissly getting hurt didn’t help. On the plus side, Adam Thielen was not a difficult pick but he came through, and Sincere McCormick was solid. Let’s see if we can build on things in Week 15.

With the fantasy playoffs here and all 32 NFL teams in play, I’ll throw out a standard caveat — I hope your team is loaded with heavily rostered players who essentially start themselves. I hope you’re playing a lot of hits this week, not looking too hard for overlooked options. That said, leagues vary by size and depth, and I know in some of those larger pools, the picks are more challenging.

RB Sincere McCormick vs. Falcons (35%)

The more I see of McCormick, the more I like. He hits the hole quickly and usually gets what’s blocked plus some additional yardage. His success rate on runs is a superb 62.5%, which is why head coach Antonio Pierce went out of his way to praise McCormick this week.

RB Isaiah Davis at Jaguars (17%)

For this pick to qualify, Breece Hall needs to be out for another week. Track the news closely on that. Without Hall last Sunday, the Jets split the backfield work evenly between Braelon Allen and Davis — and Davis showed more burst. Credit the Jets for finding two value backs in the 2024 draft. Now the assignment is cushy, a date with a Jacksonville defense that’s allowed the second-most points to opposing running backs. Davis has a fair chance to push into double-digit touches again, and it wouldn’t be shocking if he outplayed Allen.

QB Jameis Winston vs. Chiefs (34%)

I know the Chiefs are sailing along merrily at 12-1, but don’t fear this matchup or this defense. Kansas City has actually allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing…
