Fitz’s Fantasy Football Takes

Jameis Winston has averaged 43.2 pass attempts over his six starts for the Browns, with at least 41 pass attempts in all but one of those games. Winston is averaging 315 passing yards and two TD passes a game. Winston’s Week 15 matchup against Kansas City isn’t easy, but since it’s so hard to run on the Chiefs, it’s easy to see Winston airing it out 40-plus times again this week. I think we’re going to see Winston put up another big yardage total.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been wildly impressive this season, but it’s hard to feel great about his prospects for Week 15. Tracy has a brutal matchup against the rugged Baltimore run defense, and his offensive line is falling apart. The Giants have been without stud left tackle Andrew Thomas for a while. They’ve been playing without tackle Jermaine Eluemunor for a couple of weeks, and they just lost guard Jon Runyan to an ankle injury. Tracy has had fewer than 50 rushing yards in three straight games, and his last two games have been against the Cowboys and Saints — not exactly tough matchups for RBs.

Jordan Addison is a hard player to rank. He’s had two smash games over the last three weeks, with 8-162-1 against the Bears in Week 12 and 8-133-3 against the Falcons last week. But Addison has had 42 or fewer receiving yards in five of the 11 games he’s played this season. The Bears’ pass defense ranks a respectable 14th in DVOA and has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. But Addison lit Chicago ablaze like Mrs. O’Leary’s cow a few weeks ago, and I don’t want to bet against a good receiver who’s on a heater. I’m ranking Addison as a midrange WR3 and want to find a way to get him into my lineup if he’s on my roster.

Jake Ferguson has played three games with Cooper Rush at quarterback and missed two of Rush’s starts with a concussion. Ferguson has eight catches for 67 yards in the three games he’s played with Rush — although in fairness, it’s more like two games, since Ferguson only played seven snaps against the Texans in Week 11 before being knocked out with that head injury. Those aren’t exciting numbers, but Ferguson is about to face the Panthers, who have given up the most fantasy points to TEs. Tight ends have racked up 10 TD catches against Carolina this season.
