Welcome to our Week 15 update of the list! We’ve updated our Top 150 FLEX rankings based on practice reports and injuries throughout the week. Below are the key storylines to follow ahead of Sunday’s action:
- There are no significant updates for our quarterback rankings this week. It does appear the Raiders will be without Aidan O’Connell, meaning it’s Desmond Ridder time in Las Vegas. This unfortunately lowers the fantasy viability of all of your Raiders players.
- In a turn of events, it appears that Breece Hall will be active after all for Week 15’s matchup with the Jaguars. It’s a great matchup with the Jaguars, and we know how talented of a player he is, but his injury status does give him some risk. He’s a volatile back-end RB1, but you didn’t draft him to sit him in the fantasy playoffs unless you have three other excellent options to start in your RB and FLEX spots. Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis should be left on your benches as long as Hall plays.
- It appears Kenneth Walker III will miss this week, meaning Zach Charbonnet has a time to shine once again in his matchup with the Packers. Charbonnet excelled in Week 14 and should handle a heavy workload once again. He’s an RB2 this week without Walker taking touches.
- Bucky Irving appears truly questionable for Week 15, though he did not log any significant practice time this week, which is a bad sign for his availability. If he sits, Rachaad White would get a big boost as a solid RB2, while Sean Tucker would be a desperation FLEX. If Irving does suit up, he becomes a very risky option–we saw what happened last week when he only carried the ball four times.
- It’s mostly good news for our wide receivers this week, as Mike Evans, DK Metcalf, Jaylen Waddle, and CeeDee Lamb all look good to go for this week’s contest. The only name to keep an eye out for is Ladd McConkey, who is still listed as questionable after getting in a few limited practices this week. If he plays, look to him as a low-end WR2. If he doesn’t, Quentin Johnston would be a solid FLEX option after a solid showing against the Chiefs last week.
- Romeo Doubs looks ready to return, which complicated things for all of our Packers pass-catchers. I would recommend avoiding this positional group if at all possible due to the number of mouths to feed and the unpredictability of where those targets will go.
- The biggest casualties of the week come at the tight end position. Evan Engram is done for the season with a torn labrum, which is a huge loss for the Jaguars. There are no other TEs on the Jags worth streaming, let alone rostering, though this may provide a slight boost to the Jags receivers, Brian Thomas Jr. and especially Parker Washington.
- David Njoku looks like he will miss Week 15 as well, which is incredibly disappointing, given he’s seen 30 targets over the past two weeks, and the Chiefs are a great matchup for TEs. If he plays, he’s obviously still a great option and should be in your lineups. Jordan Akins is the next man up and is a risky TE2 if he takes over lead duties at the position.
Now, without further ado, let’s get to our Top 150 FLEX rankings in The List!
