As fantasy football playoffs arrive, the pressure mounts for quarterback streamers to deliver. For those without a consistent starter like Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen, the need for a reliable option becomes urgent. Fortunately, just below the elite quarterbacks, Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa has emerged as a strong contender. Over the past four weeks, he has been the No. 1 fantasy quarterback, excluding Josh Allen, averaging over 325 passing yards per game. During this stretch, Tagovailoa has thrown 11 touchdowns without a single interception, proving his worth as a solid fantasy quarterback option when the stakes are high.
Fantasy football rankings for Week 15, which are based on point-per-reception (PPR) scoring, follow specific rules. Players earn one point for every 10 rushing or receiving yards, and one point for every 20 passing yards. Touchdowns are awarded six points while passing touchdowns earn four points. Receptions add one point to a player’s total. These rankings, compiled by Daniel Dobish from TheHuddle.com, provide valuable insights for fantasy football managers heading into the playoffs.
In Week 14, Tagovailoa continued his hot streak, throwing for 331 yards and two touchdowns. This marked his third consecutive game with over 300 passing yards, solidifying his status as a top-tier fantasy quarterback option. Heading into Week 15, his performance places him as the 9th-ranked quarterback, just below other prominent names like Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and Joe Burrow.
The full Week 15 quarterback rankings, compiled by Dobish, feature several standout names. Lamar Jackson is ranked first, followed by Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Baker Mayfield. Tua Tagovailoa holds the 9th spot, just behind rising star C.J. Stroud. Other notable quarterbacks include Jalen Hurts, Jared Goff, and Patrick Mahomes.
