The first round of the 2025 fantasy football playoffs has arrived! QB-WR rapports, target shares and more have been established among the league’s receiving corps. With all of that in mind, let’s break down my WR start/sit Week 15 fantasy football picks.
Check out my full Week 15 start/sit article with picks at each position here!
Start ‘Em: Wan’Dale Robinson (New York Giants) vs. Washington Commanders
At his best, Robinson has proven capable of being a true WR1 this season. Just a few weeks ago, he dropped 30.6 points thanks to nine receptions for 136 yards and a touchdown against Detroit.
Unfortunately, we don’t see this version of Robinson on any type of consistent basis. However, his target share since Malik Nabers’ departure has given the shifty slot receiver a strong floor. The fourth-year Kentucky product has amassed double-digit points in four of the Giants’ last five outings.
In Week 15, Robinson will take on a Commanders squad that is allowing the third-most passing yards and ninth-most fantasy points to receivers per game. With Jaxson Dart healthy and back in the equation, his top playmaker has WR2 value.
Sit ‘Em: Xavier Worthy (Kansas City Chiefs) vs. Los Angeles Chargers
This is not Xavier Worthy’s first appearance in the WR sit section this year, and with a few weeks left, I doubt it will be the last.
No one is doubting Worthy’s talent. He showcased plenty of it in his rookie campaign. That’s what has made his apparent Year 2 drop-off so bizarre. Worthy simply hasn’t been a significant part of Andy Reid’s game plan this season, especially since the return of Rashee Rice. The speedster has caught more than four passes in just one game since Week 6, failing to score more than 12 fantasy points in a contest over that span.
And yet, his start percentage across major fantasy platforms remains ridiculously high because of his big-play potential and the quarterback he catches passes from. This week, Worthy draws a matchup against the Chargers, who allow the second-fewest fantasy points to receivers per game. In the first round of the fantasy playoffs, there are better options out there at WR.

Start ‘Em: Christian Watson (Green Bay Packers) at Denver Broncos
Watson was the headliner among my Week 14 WR start selections, and we’re going to continue riding that positive momentum for at least another week.
The big play threat has hauled in just 17 balls over his last four weeks, yet in three of those matchups he finished with at least 18 fantasy points. The reason for that, as you may assume, is the ridiculous five touchdowns he scored over that span. Coming back from a torn ACL, Watson slowly but surely reestablished himself as the top receiver for Jordan Love.
That continued last week in Green Bay’s huge win over the Bears, as the fourth-year wideout caught four balls for 89 yards and a pair of scores. The matchup is tough this week, as Denver boasts one of the best secondaries in football. However, it’s impossible to fade someone as hot as Watson is at the moment.

Sit ‘Em: Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings) at Dallas Cowboys
Sigh.
I almost don’t even want to lay out the numbers for Justin Jefferson as of late. If you have him on you’re team, you know them. They’re bad.
After somehow scoring double-digit fantasy points in eight straight games to open the season while dealing with shaky QB play, Jefferson has failed to hit that mark in four of his last five outings.
Arguably the best receiver in football has amassed 5.5 points over his last two matchups. To make matters worse, the Vikings aren’t even getting him involved. Jefferson’s target share has been shockingly low over this recent stretch. Even in an objectively successful performance from J.J. McCarthy, the superstar receiver only caught two passes for 11 yards.
The Cowboys’ secondary has been atrocious all year long, but that doesn’t really matter. In the first round of the fantasy playoffs, you need to roll with a more consistently productive option at WR.
Those are my WR start/sit Week 15 fantasy football picks! Stay tuned for more fantasy football start/sit advice throughout this week.
