Fantasy Football Week 15 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em

Set your Week 15 lineups with Dalton Del Don’s key start/sit advice for every game on the slate.

Dallas Cowboys @ Carolina Panthers

Start: Rico Dowdle

Dowdle has completely taken over as Dallas’ workhorse, seeing 66-of-76 RB touches over the last three games. He gets a Panthers’ defense allowing 5.0 YPC and the most average rush attempts (27.8), rushing yards (138.6), touchdowns (1.4) and fantasy points to running backs this season. Game script should remain manageable against the Panthers, so Dowdle is a borderline top-15 back this week.

Kansas City Chiefs @ Cleveland Browns

Sit: Nick Chubb

Chubb has three touchdowns over the last three games, but he hasn’t seen a single carry in the red zone over the last two weeks. Chubb saw just 38% of the snaps and 12-of-26 RB opportunities last week, and Jerome Ford has out-snapped him in two straight games. The Chiefs’ pass defense has taken a step back recently, but Kansas City has ceded the fewest RB rushing yards per game (58.5) and fantasy points to running backs this season. Chubb has averaged just 1.4 targets and 3.1 YPC since returning from injury; he’s a bench candidate to start the fantasy playoffs.

Miami Dolphins @ Houston Texans

Start: Tua Tagovailoa

Tagovailoa was the QB25 in fantasy points per game over the first 10 weeks, but he’s been the QB2 behind only Josh Allen over four games since. The Dolphins rank second in neutral pass rate (65.4%) and third in pass rate over expectation (+9.6%) while Tagovailoa has averaged 325 passing yards and 2.8 TDs over that span. Sunday’s matchup looks primed for a shootout while featuring teams both ranked top seven in neutral pass rate over the last five weeks. The Texans have yielded the fifth-fewest fantasy points to RBs but the 10th-most to QBs this season.

New York Jets @ Jacksonville Jaguars

Start: Brian Thomas Jr.

Thomas Jr. saw career highs in targets (12) and target…
