All 32 NFL teams are in action this week as the NFL starts the four-week push to the end of the regular season. With the three regular primetime matchups leaving 26 teams in the player pool, we have a deep 13-game main slate for Week 15 for the main DFS fantasy football contests on DraftKings. With so many options, there are many strong plays to consider as you search for fantasy football sleeper wide receivers this week.
In this post, we’ll look at the 13 matchups on the board and highlight the top fantasy football sleeper plays at wide receiver who are set up to make a huge difference in your DFS fantasy football lineups, even though they still have a bargain DraftKings salary.
The options highlighted each week as football sleeper plays for DFS can also translate into sneaky plays in your season-long league since they are in line to exceed expectations and many are still on the waiver wire. Earlier this week, I highlighted my top-30 starters at wide receiver, which can help you make all your start and sit decisions at the position. In this post, we’ll look at a few players outside those 30 who still bring a high ceiling. Here’s who I am looking at this week and how last week’s picks fared:
Week 15 Fantasy Football Sleeper WR picks (full analysis below)
- Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans ($4,300)
- Mack Hollins, New England Patriots ($4,000)
- Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers ($3,900)
- Isaac TeSlaa, Detroit Lions ($3,500)
- Jack Bech, Las Vegas Raiders ($3,200)
Week 14 Results:
- Luther Burden III, Chicago Bears ($3,800; 11 FPTS)
- Devaughn Vele, New Orleans Saints ($3,700; 7 FPTS)
- Tez Johnson, Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($3,700; 0 FPTS )
- Jack Bech, Las Vegas Raiders ($3,000; 11 FPTS)
- Andre Baccellia, Arizona Cardinals ($3,000; 1.3 FPTS)
A few of last week’s picks stepped up big time, and hopefully, this week we’ll have even more success. Whether you’re looking for value plays in your DFS contests like the NFL $2.5M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st] or a last-minute addition from the waiver wire in season-long formats, here are my top-five fantasy football sleeper wide receivers for Week 15 of the 2025 season:
Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans ($4,300)
Getting a No. 1 WR for any team under $4,500 is unusual, so Dike has been a regular part of my fantasy football sleeper picks since he began his breakout. The regularly recurring character wasn’t in last week’s picks simply because his salary was up to $4,500 against the Browns.
Dike stepped up with five catches on eight targets for 24 yards and a touchdown, matching his season-high in targets and tying his second-highest number of catches in any game this year. His touchdown came early in the fourth quarter as the former Gator frolicked in the snow in Cleveland:
Dike has at least 13 fantasy points in four of his last seven games and has emerged as the team’s go-to target with 22 targets in four games since the bye week. The return specialist can make big plays any time he touches the ball, so the fact that he’s getting so many looks gives him both a high ceiling and a high floor.
Since his salary went down $200 to make him a fantasy football sleeper again this week, he’s a great bargain play against the 49ers, who have struggled against receivers at times this season and rank as a slightly favorable matchup, allowing 153 receiving yards per game to wide receivers.
Mack Hollins, New England Patriots ($4,000)
The Patriots will come back from their bye week and host the Bills in a huge divisional matchup, and Hollins is a viable fantasy football sleeper at wide receiver in this grudge match against his former team. In the first matchup of the season against the Bills, Hollins didn’t have a catch while Stefon Diggs ($6,000) went off, but Hollins has been regularly involved in the passing attack in the last few weeks, and it could be his turn for a revenge game in Week 15.
Hollins has multiple catches in each of his eight games since going without a catch against the Bills. He had seven catches for 89 yards against the Browns and six catches for 106 yards against the Bucs in two of those games, producing over 10 fantasy points in three of his last six contests.
While he’s maybe best known for his pregame arrival fits, Hollins has also been getting it done on the field enough to be a solid play at only $4,000. The Patriots and Drake Maye spread the ball around to multiple receivers, but Hollins has enough upside to be a fantasy football sleeper to consider in Week 15.
Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers ($3,900)
Coker is another regularly recurring character in my fantasy football sleepers, and like Hollins, he’ll be coming back after a bye week. He and the Panthers control their own destiny after the Bucs’ big loss on Thursday, and they’ll take on the Saints in a favorable matchup this week.
Coker was lined up to be the team’s second receiver to start the year but the first part of his season was waylaid by injury. He battled back and now has a good matchup to showcase his solid connection with Bryce Young.
Before the bye week, the Panthers pulled off a huge upset by knocking off the Rams, and Coker had a key fourth down touchdown:
In each of his last four games, Coker has at least four targets, and he topped 10 fantasy points in two of his last three games. He’s coming off a season-high 74 yards and 17.4 fantasy points, and he brings lots of big-play potential and could finally be ready for that true breakout performance.
Even if he doesn’t go off for a huge number, the Panthers are throwing the ball enough to make him a good option as they try to secure the NFC South title over the next four weeks.
Isaac TeSlaa, Detroit Lions ($3,500)
The Lions didn’t have to play a full game without Amon-Ra St. Brown, who was able to recover from his Thanksgiving injury to play last week against the Cowboys on Thursday Night Football. Even with ARSB active, though, TeSlaa had another solid game as the rookie continues to establish himself as an option in the Lions’ passing game.
After just four catches through the first 12 weeks of the season, the rookie has totaled four catches in the last two weeks, posting 55 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Packers and Cowboys.
TeSlaa’s snap share has typically been around 20-35% this season but the last two weeks it has been 92% and 77%. If Kalif Raymond (ankle) misses a third straight week, TeSlaa will be a good bargain play again as he serves as the team’s third receiver. With Sam LaPorta (back) out for the season, there should continue to be targets available for the rookie to make an impact if he’s on the field.
Jack Bech, Las Vegas Raiders ($3,200)
The Raiders are running very low on receivers after trading Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline. Last week, rookie Dont’e Thornton (concussion) and Alex Bachman (thumb) were also out, which gave Bech a chance to step up against the Broncos.
The second rounder out of TCU hauled in all six of his targets for 50 yards in the team’s 24-17 loss.
Four of those targets came from Kenny Pickett, who will get the start this week in a revenge game for him against the Eagles. Thornton is back this week, but the team will likely try to keep Bech in the mix, especially with Pickett feeling so comfortable with the rookie. Pickett will be starting in place of Geno Smith after completing 8-of-11 passes for 97 yards and a touchdown last week. He showed a solid connection with Bech, which is definitely a hopeful sign for this week and for Bech’s potential production going forward.
The rookie is no longer at the minimum salary like he was last week, but he’s still extremely affordable and makes lots of sense as a flier play in a game where his team will likely have to be aggressive on offense to keep up with the Eagles.
