Week 15 QB fantasy football rankings including injury news, sleepers, more
Which quarterbacks will shine in Week 15 for your fantasy football teams? We’ll take a look at all of them in our rankings.
The fantasy playoffs are officially here and Byemageddon is now in our rearview window. It’s been a wild season as usual, but once again the cream continues to rise to the top, as the top fantasy players at each position aren’t going to completely surprise you. For quarterbacks, those names are Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen and Jalen Hurts. We were right! Baker Mayfield and Jayden Daniels follow those three, so it wasn’t exactly as the masses predicted, but every season we worry about players early on who end up doing their usual.
This week we get some good matchups for some quarterbacks that underperformed this season, as Aaron Rodgers, Bryce Young, Brock Purdy, Whoever is QB’ing the Giants and Raiders, Justin Herbert, Cooper Rush, and Will Levis all have top tier statistical matchups. That of course means that some top tier quarterbacks have tougher matchups in this, the fantasy playoffs.

Week 15 quarterback injuries
Aiden O’Connell, Raiders
What appeared to be an end of season injury looks to be a bone bruise. He still has a shot at playing on Monday night against the Falcons. If he can’t, Desmond Ridder should get the nod against his old team.
Derek Carr, Saints
Carr suffered a concussion and injured non-throwing hand last week. He is considered week-to-week and it appears doubtful he’ll be available to take on the Commanders on Sunday. The starting job looks to be between Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener.
Week 15 quarterback sleepers
Aaron Rodgers, Jets at Jaguars
Rodgers hasn’t played well this season because he’s old. But, he did have one of his best games of the year last week, when he threw for 339 yards and one touchdown against a good Dolphins pass defense. This week he’ll get a much easier matchup against the Jaguars, who have statistically been the worst team against the pass this season.
Justin Herbert, Chargers vs. Buccaneers
Tampa Bay has given up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, which correlates with them giving up the most pass attempts overall. Baker Mayfield and Tampa Bay’s offense are one of the best in the league at moving the ball and I expect they can do exactly that against the Chargers. At least enough to push them to throw, which is exactly what they need to do against the Bucs. Hopefully Ladd McConkey will be back this week, but either way I expect Herbert to be successful.
