The fantasy football playoffs are finally here, and for those still in contention, this is the most exciting (and nerve-wracking) time of the season. Congratulations to all managers who have made it this far—you’re on the cusp of glory, with a league championship within your grasp! As we head into Week 15, it’s time to lean heavily on your star players. Their performances will play a pivotal role in determining your fantasy fate. However, the importance of matchups for your supporting cast cannot be overstated—choosing wisely could be the difference between advancing or going home.
To help with those critical decisions, here are the updated positional PPR player rankings for Week 15. This week features some intriguing moves in the rankings, reflecting recent performances and upcoming matchups. Notable risers include quarterback Sam Darnold and running back Zach Charbonnet, both of whom have favorable opportunities this week. On the other hand, Alvin Kamara and Michael Pittman Jr. slide down, making them less attractive options unless alternatives are limited.
The rankings are broken down by position: quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, flex, kickers, and defenses. Among quarterbacks, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Jalen Hurts lead the pack, with Allen facing a high-scoring potential matchup against Detroit. Running back rankings are headlined by Saquon Barkley and Bijan Robinson, with Derrick Henry remaining a powerhouse option. Wide receivers are topped by Ja’Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Justin Jefferson, while tight ends like Travis Kelce and Brock Bowers remain elite picks.
