As Week 15 approaches, fantasy football lineups are crucial for playoff success. Key matchups and roles are becoming clearer, and even slight edges can make a significant difference. In Week 15, several quarterbacks are poised for strong performances. Brock Purdy leads the 49ers against the Titans, who have struggled to contain layered route concepts. With the 49ers' run game forcing defensive overcommitment, Purdy is expected to excel in rhythm throws. Joe Burrow, C.J. Stroud, and Lamar Jackson are also solid choices. However, Jacoby Brissett's matchup against the Texans is a nightmare. The Texans' defense excels at applying pressure and limiting throwing windows. Brissett's lack of mobility and Arizona's likely struggles to sustain drives make him a low-floor option. In the running back department, Tony Pollard is a top pick against the 49ers. He has a high-usage role and excels in space and through the air. Pollard's combined rushing and receiving outlook gives him RB2 stability with RB1 breakout potential. Avoid Breece Hall against the Jaguars, who have been suffocating against running backs. Hall's explosive-play dependency makes him vulnerable in this matchup. Wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson is a favorable matchup against the Commanders, who struggle to contain slot receivers. He has a strong floor in PPR formats and real spike-week potential. DJ Moore is a risky option against the Browns, who have been stingy against perimeter receivers. Moore's production hinges on efficiency and big-play creation, which the Browns take away. In the tight end position, Jake Ferguson is a safe high-usage play against the Vikings. He excels in option routes and seam-breakers, and quarterback Dak Prescott trusts him in key moments. Ferguson's combination of volume, red zone usage, and matchup makes him a top-tier TE start. Other key players to consider include Bijan Robinson, Kenneth Walker III, Travis Etienne, and Nico Collins. However, Hunter Henry is an easy sit against the Bills, who match up well with tight ends.
