Fantasy Football Start em, Sit em Lineup Advice: Week 15
Nix is the QB10 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 8, among 32 qualifying quarterbacks, he has ranked 15th in yards per attempt, eighth-best in passing touchdowns and fantasy points per dropback, tenth in passer rating, and 20th in highly accurate throw rate. Nix should have another decent QB1 outing in Week 15. Since Week 9, Indy has allowed the 11th-most yards per attempt, the tenth-most passing yards per game, and the tenth-highest CPOE.
Addison has been on fire. I love seeing him prove me wrong in his second season. In Weeks 1-8, he was the WR46 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 9, he has been scorching secondaires as the WR6 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 9, among 56 qualifying wide receivers, he has ranked 15th in YPRR and 18th in FD/RR. Addison roasted the Bears in their last meeting with eight receptions, 162 receiving yards, and a score as the WR1 for the week. Since Week 4, Chicago has utilized single high at the second-highest rate (64%). Since Week 9, against single-high, Addison has had a 22.2% target share, 3.76 YPRR, and a 30.6% first-read share. Since Week 9, Chicago has allowed the seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Addison should cook again in Week 15.
In the five games that Calcaterra has operated as Philly’s full-time tight end, he has finished as a TE1 twice (TE12, TE9). He has only one score and one red zone target. In that sample of games, he has had an 80.6% route share, a 15.2% target share, 1.66 YPRR, and a 12.3% first-read share. This isn’t the week to stream Calcaterra. Over the last five weeks, Pittsburgh has allowed the eighth-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game to tight ends.
