Tight End Matchups and Opportunities
Pat Freiermuth: Trending Upward
Pat Freiermuth has emerged as a reliable option for the Steelers, especially with George Pickens sidelined. Coming off two games with touchdowns, Freiermuth has caught nine of his last 10 targets. The Eagles’ secondary may be tough, but their linebacking corps remains a vulnerability that Freiermuth can exploit. His touchdown equity makes him a strong fantasy and DFS play this week.
Cade Otton: High Snaps, Low Impact
While Cade Otton has seen significant snaps for the Buccaneers, his recent production has been disappointing. With the return of Mike Evans, Otton’s role in the offense has diminished, making him a risky start in Week 15. Consider other options unless his matchup improves.

Quarterback Analysis
Josh Allen: All-In on Scoring
Josh Allen is priced at $9,500 and remains a cornerstone of the Buffalo Bills’ offense. Allen controls nearly all of the team’s scoring, making him a top-tier fantasy quarterback. Pairing him with a lower-cost option like Khalil Shakir can offset his price in DFS lineups. Alternatively, Allen is viable as a standalone play due to his rushing and passing touchdown potential.
Lamar Jackson: Dynamic Dual Threat
Lamar Jackson, at $9,000, offers a slightly cheaper yet equally dynamic option. His rushing ability and central role in the Ravens’ offense make him a strong pick. Pairing Jackson with Derrick Henry in cash games provides a stable floor, though it may limit budget flexibility elsewhere. Jackson’s red-zone usage further enhances his fantasy value.

Tua Tagovailoa: A Hot Hand
Tua Tagovailoa, priced at $8,300, has been red hot over the last month, avoiding turnovers while delivering consistent performances. Though the Dolphins have struggled against winning teams, Tua’s efficiency and connection with his receivers make him a viable option for both DFS and season-long formats. Bettors can consider his touchdown props for added value.
Kyler Murray: Mobility Matters
Kyler Murray’s mobility makes him an intriguing investment at $7,600. His potential for rushing yards and big plays through the air provides a high ceiling. Pairing Murray with Trey McBride, who has a favorable matchup, creates a strong stack option in DFS.
Jared Goff: Budget-Friendly Option
Jared Goff offers a budget-friendly alternative at $8,000. In a high-scoring matchup, Goff’s steady production and red-zone opportunities make him a solid choice for fantasy managers who want to save salary cap space for other positions.
