Week 15 Must Starts: Playoff Lock Edition

If you are reading this, you have made it incredibly close tot he promise land! Only two more wins and you have reached the pinnacle of Fantasy Football glory. Keep your eyes on the prize and let us help you get to the title big game!

Chris Carson RB vs Carolina: With Rashard Penny tearing his ACL, Caron is now the undisputed number one option out of the Seattle backfield. He has a prime matchup this week against Carolina and is an absolute must start with RB1 upside. Roll him out there with confidence.

Kareem Hunt RB vs Arizona: Hunt is becoming a must start and if we weren’t so close to the end of the season I would be saying we won’t be writing about him anymore, but because we still get several questions on him we will continue to include him for the rest of the year. Bottom line; with touchdowns in three straight games and a matchup that should see him find the end zone again; Hunt is a lock to get you into the fantasy final.

David Montgomery RB vs Green Bay: It is no secret we are a big fan of Montgomery here at GCF. We don’t pick him all the time, but when we do he is a slam dunk for your fantasy team. Montgomery gets a juicy matchup against Green Bay and the Bears are fighting for their lives. We love Montgomery this week to put up strong RB2 numbers.

Saquon Barkley RB vs Miami: I literally cannot believe I typed that name just now, but here we are. To say Barkley has been a disappointment this fantasy season is the definition of an understatement. However, this week we think Barkley breaks his five games touchdown drought and will put up over fifteen fantasy points against a weak Miami defense. Barkley is a strong Flex with RB2 upside.

Austin Ekeler vs Minnesota: Just start Ekeler. He has been a must start for weeks now and we still get a lot of questions on him. He is San Diego’s do it all back and he will continue to be this week. If you have Ekeler then you are most likely going to the fantasy title game.

 

Darius Slayton WR vs Miami: Slayton and Eli Manning connected in a major way last week and we expect him to do so again this week. The rookie has something special going here and if you hop on the Slayton train it will take you to the final. Sterling Shepherd is also a great play here.

Michael Gallup WR vs LAR: Gallup is coming off a monster game against a tough opponent and he is essentially a must start this week while his teammate Amari Cooper will be shadowed by  Jalen Ramsey. This will create big opportunities for Gallup who is sure to put up WR2 numbers.

Deebo Samuel WR vs Atlanta: Deebo is the most consistent wide receiver on the board lately. Do not get caught up in Emmanuel Sanders’ breakout performance last week. Deebo will be the main guy in this offense and is a solid WR2 play.

Zach Pascal WR vs New Orleans: We are continuing to ride the hot hand with Pascal and expect him to have a monster day against the NOLA in the Super Dome. Pascal’s targets have gone up along with his production.

Terry McLaurin vs Philadelphia: Scary Terry ended his touchdown drought last week surprising a lot of fantasy players. He gets the best matchup for fantasy receivers going up against this Eagles secondary. McLaurin is the guy in this offense and now with Guice out, look for him to have a monster day.

 

Baker Mayfield QB vs Arizona: Mayfield has not been a consistent QB this year, but one thing is for sure; if he has a great matchup he delivers. Mayfield has a tremendous matchup this week against a terrible Arizona Cardinals defense. We expect him to put up big numbers for your squad.

Ryan Fitzpatrick QB vs NYG: Fitzmagic was riding high until he hit a speed bump last week against the Jets. Regardless, Fitzpatrick is a stud this week against a Giant secondary that is ranked amongst some of the worst groups in NFL history. Fitzpatrick will surely go off this week and help you get where you need to go.
