The fantasy football playoffs are in full swing, and for those still in contention, the remaining weeks of the 2024 NFL season will determine who claims the ultimate bragging rights and league title. To aid in this quest, here’s a detailed breakdown of the top point-per-reception (PPR) rankings for Week 15 across key positions.
Quarterback
The top-ranked QB this week is Lamar Jackson (BAL), facing the Giants. His consistent dual-threat capabilities keep him atop the rankings. Josh Allen (BUF) and Washington’s rookie standout Jayden Daniels (WAS) follow, with Daniels excelling despite limited NFL experience. Notably, Caleb Williams (CHI) emerges as a sleeper. While his rookie season has been turbulent, his recent form — seven touchdowns in three games with no interceptions — and his strong performance against Minnesota in Week 12 (340 passing yards, two touchdowns, 33 rushing yards) make him a high-upside pick.
Running Back
Philadelphia’s Saquon Barkley reigns supreme, with Bijan Robinson (ATL) and Derrick Henry (BAL) close behind. Barkley remains a focal point in the Eagles’ offense, while Robinson faces a vulnerable Raiders defense. The sleeper pick, Rico Dowdle (DAL), has seized control of the Cowboys’ backfield. Over his last three games, he’s tallied 329 rushing yards, a touchdown, and consistent receiving involvement. This week, he faces Carolina’s porous run defense, making him a potential top-five scorer.
Wide Receiver
The receiver rankings are led by Cincinnati’s electrifying Ja’Marr Chase, who faces the Titans. Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) and Justin Jefferson (MIN) round out the top three, offering elite upside. Buffalo’s Amari Cooper, highlighted as a sleeper, has seen fluctuating usage but shined last week with six receptions for 95 yards on 14 targets. Against a Detroit defense that struggles against receivers, Cooper could have a big game if he stays involved.
Tight End
Tight ends are notoriously boom-or-bust, but Brock Bowers (LV) leads this week, followed by stalwarts like Travis Kelce (KC) and Trey McBride (ARI). Sleeper pick Zach Ertz (WAS) has quietly become a key target for Washington, especially with key injuries in their receiving corps. Over the last four games, Ertz has logged 19 receptions, 151 yards, and three touchdowns, positioning him for a strong close to the season.
With these insights, you’re better equipped to dominate your fantasy matchups in Week 15.
