Week 15 DraftKings Fantasy Football Playoffs Rankings Cheat Sheet

Week 15 DraftKings Fantasy Football Playoffs Rankings Cheat Sheet

Updated:

By: Zach Thompson

The NFL has a big 13-game main slate lined up for Week 15, in action for the next four weeks for the final playoff push. With the typical three prime-time matchups, 26 teams are in the player pool this week, providing plenty of great options to consider for your roster.. In this cheat sheet, we’ll take a look at the fantasy football rankings for each primary position on the main DraftKings slate.

Just like last week, eight games kick off at 1:00, but this week, there are five games in the second wave, all of which kick off at 4:25 p.m. ET. Each wave has some spicy matchups mixed in, including divisional games like the Patriots-Bills and Ravens-Bengals in the early wave. In the later wave, the Rams and Lions clash in Los Angeles, while the Seahawks host the Colts and the Packers travel to Denver to face the Broncos.

The fantasy football rankings in this post are based on what we know coming into the week on Monday, so stay tuned to DK Network for more news throughout the week to see if your lineup should be adjusted at all.

These player rankings are based solely on total output, independent of the players’ salaries. They do not account for value, ownership, ceiling or correlation, which should all be factors in assembling your final roster. They are, however, a great starting point as you start to look ahead or as you compare specific options in a particular position.

To catch up on the top lineup from the Week 14 contest, check out my breakdown of the winning lineup. You can also find full rankings for the week at each position on my author page. The rankings on this page do not include any players from the prime time matchups, which are on separate slates. Each of the position-specific rankings includes all the players for the entire week.

Be sure to set your lineup for all Week 11 contests, highlighted by the NFL $2.5M Fantasy Football Millionaire [$1M to 1st].
