Fantasy Risers After Week 15 📈

Jacory Croskey-Merritt:
With Chris Rodriguez missing Week 15, JCM saw 18 carries for nearly 100 yards and a TD. It was a great matchup, but his next two games are good matchups as well (Philly and Dallas). Even with the Commanders eliminated from playoff contention, it stands to reason that the Commanders would continue to see what they have in Bill, especially if Rodriguez is favoring an injury.
Blake Corum:
Blake Corum has continued to be an excellent option for the Rams, as well as in fantasy. He continues to not only be a vital handcuff, but he is also providing substantial standalone fantasy value. He should be rostered in every single fantasy football league the rest of the way.
Kyle Pitts:
Pitts had one of the greatest fantasy performances of all time for a tight end. scoring 45.6 PPR points in Week 15. He is going to be incredibly difficult to bench moving forward. He has a juicy matchup with the Cardinals in the second round of the fantasy playoffs.
Trevor Lawrence:
Lawrence had the best performance of his career against the Jets, scoring six total touchdowns (five passing, one rushing). It is worth noting that his next matchup is a daunting one with Denver, a team that just caused Jordan Love to have issues. After that, he is taking on the Colts, a defense that does not scare anyone at this juncture. He is worth stashing if you are having QB issues.
Fantasy Fallers After Week 15 📉

Breece Hall:
Breece Hall cannot be started in fantasy for the remainder of the season. Even though he sees substantial amounts of touches, this offense is too dreadful to have any stock in it.
Ladd McConkey:
McConkey has scored 4.3 or less PPR points in three of his last four games, and this week was particularly concerning because Quinton Johnston was out. Next week, he has a spectacular matchup with Dallas, and will likely be worth another spin. But margin for error is thin in the fantasy playoffs and McConkey is currently a source of anxiety.
Rashee Rice:
Rice has scored 12.4 or less PPR points in two straight games, and now he will be without Patrick Mahomes for the remainder of the season. Additionally, the Chiefs have been removed from the playoffs, leaving them no incentive to potentially put their players in harm’s way. He is likely someone to continue starting next week against Tennessee, but temper your expectations with Gardner Minshew at the helm.
Michael Pittman JR.:
With Philip Rivers at the helm, the deep passing on the Colts’ offense is going to disappear. This damages MPJ in a big way. His floor is going to be near-zero, and his ceiling is not going to be high enough to warrant playing him in either of his two remaining matchups with San Francisco and Jacksonville.

Add Candidates

ADD C.J. Stroud:
Stroud played very well against the Cardinals in Week 15, and has the Raiders next. The Texans would be wise to continue sharpening their offense before the playoffs begin, and Las Vegas provides an excellent opportunity for the Texans’ QB to pick up where he left off. He is a great waiver option in the second round of the playoffs.
Add Colby Parkinson:
Parkinson has put two good performances together in a row, and this week he is taking on the Seahawks, a team weak against TEs. Davante Adams is also going to miss this game, opening up even more opportunities for the Rams’ TE. If you need a tight end, or perhaps even a flex, consider the services of Colby Parkinson.
ADD Jayden Reed:
Jayden Reed has been a top 35 WR in each of his two games since returning, and if he continues to see more snaps, he could help some fantasy players win championships. He has two good matchups ahead of him with the Bears and Ravens, and he should be rostered in leagues with ten or more teams.
ADD Bills Defense:
Buffalo’s defense has played better as of late, and now they are taking on a very iffy Cleveland offense. They are, surprisingly, available in most leagues, and they have a high ceiling and safe floor in Week 16.
