Fantasy Football: Week 15 sleepers


Its playoff time for fantasy football owners and with teams clinching playoff spots, players may see reduced playing time. I was fortunate enough to dominate my first round playoff matchup and I am hoping to advance to the finals after this week.  I’ll keep you posted. Let’s take a look at some guys that you might be able to sneak into your line-up that will help you get a victory.

Ryan Fitzpatrick (Buffalo QB) – Fitzpatrick has been sluggish of late, but faces a Miami secondary that has been weak at times. Miami has a new coach and have given up 19 passing touchdowns this season along with 244 yards per game. Miami’s run defense has been solid in the last 5 games, so the Bills will likely being throwing more often.

Felix Jones (Dallas RB) – With DeMarco Murray on IR, Jones will see almost all the carries for the remainder of the season. He looked good against the Giants, rushing for over 100 yards. Tampa Bay has struggled to stop the run this season, allowing close to 140 yards a game.

Steve Breaston (Kansas City WR) – It looks like Kyle Orton is going to return for the Chiefs this week against Green Bay. They will definitely be throwing the ball, as they will be fighting to keep up with the Packers. Green Bay is giving up 302 yard per game and have allowed 23 touchdowns to receivers this season.

Jake Ballard (New York Giants TE) – Ballard has 589 yards and 4 touchdowns this season. Tight ends seem to find success against Washington this season. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ballard finds the end zone on Sunday.
 
Arizona Cardinals Defense – There is always a chance of Patrick Peterson returning an interception for a touchdown. The Browns offense is only averaging 13.7 points a game this season and has not been sharp lately. The Arizona defense is probably available in most leagues and could be a nice start for week 15.
