Start - Quarterback:
Drew Brees (NWO)
Many attractive options for the fantasy semifinals exist, and one of the best for the weekend belongs to Drew Brees. ADF has noted previously of the decline of the future Hall of Famer, but remains confident he is more than capable of getting the job done! Coming back home on extra rest, playing the NY Jets who give up the 3rd most to fantasy quarterbacks, this matchup and potential outcome already has us smiling. Brees will once again prove his worth and not let his owners down. Enjoy this one as he will be a major reason you get to the Finals!  

Dak Prescott (DAL)
ADF preached Dak as a must start in week 14, and will keep preaching for week 15! Dallas must run the table and receive assistance to qualify for the post season, so better believe Dak will be on full tilt to produce again. Playing on Sunday Night Football in the prime time lights should reflect positively for the Cowboys. Dak is up against the Raiders who give up the 10th most to fantasy quarterbacks and he will take full advantage. Giving fantasy owners a whopping 31 points last week should be around the target to expect this week. He will produce.

Ben Roethlisberger (PIT)
Big Ben is back to playing at an elite level these last several weeks and that will continue vs the Patriots on Sunday. Statistically the Pats still give up the 6th most to fantasy quarterback and Ben is coming off another 500 yard performance against the Ravens last Sunday Night. As much as New England has improved on the defensive side of the ball, last week’s game in Miami is proof they can still be rattled. With the fire power the Steelers employ and playing at home in front of the home town faithful, Roethlisberger is prime to continue his fabulous play. Ben should see a stat line of 350 yards and at least 2 TDs on Sunday.     

Philip Rivers (LAC)
You can’t ignore what Rivers and the Chargers are doing on the offensive side of the ball. Winners of their last four games, they enter a contest with the division on the line, and we fully know Philip will come to play! Rivers will face the Chiefs who give up the 7th most to fantasy throwers as their leaky defense will definitely have their hands full. Philip at times is prone to making poor choices that inhibit his ability to generate top numbers, but in a game of this magnitude he should be on fire and on point. A 300 yard game and multiple touchdown performance is definitely on the docket. Owners will have an early start as this game takes place on Saturday, essentially primetime, another great aspect for a Rivers must start.

Play with Confidence:
Matt Ryan (ATL)
Cam Newton (CAR)
Aaron Rodgers (GB)
Russell Wilson (SEA)

Potential Big Day:
Blake Bortles (JAX)
Jimmy Garoppolo (SF)


Start - Wide Receiver:
Michael Thomas (NWO)
The bust proof Michael Thomas in PPR leagues finally provided relief to standard league owners with his best performance of the season against the Falcons last Thursday. Thomas is beginning to heat up and should be able to piggy-back last week game totals into week 15. The Saints host the Jets on Sunday who give up the 6th most to fantasy receivers which is a perfect elixir for Thomas and Brees. With the Jets having to start Brice Petty as the quarterback, there is no question the Saints offense will see a lot of time on the field. The potential to run 70-80 plays is extremely real. Saddle up and get ready for another show.    

Mohamed Sanu (ATL)
Once again the Falcons face the Bucs who gave up copious amounts of fantasy points to the Atlanta receiver core (most notably Julio Jones @ 12-253-2), back in week 12! The popular start of course is the great Julio Jones as the Bucs are his most favorite team to play against, (see career stats vs TB). The reverse outlook on this matchup to suggest Sanu is a prime must start is; do we honestly believe Tampa would allow Julio to gash them severely again in a matter of weeks? Jones should see double if not triple teams on Sunday opening up Sanu to run the show. Tampa Bay gives up the most to fantasy receivers where Mohamed saw a healthy 9 targets hauling in 8! It’s not unconceivable that Sanu will see 8-10 targets totaling over 100 yards and finding the endzone in this one.   

Devante Adams (GB)
With the return of Aaron Rodgers all Packer receivers get an instant uptick. The best receiver in the Rodgers absence has been Adams and his stock should continue to remain where it has been, this time with greater confidence. Playing the Panthers who give up the 9th most to fantasy receivers, Devante will see a healthy dose of targets and redzone opportunity. There’s a small potential of a setback performance as Aaron should spread the ball around to his many targets, which they would all welcome. Jordy could be the biggest target stealer for Adams this week, but he should see his fair share.   

Keenan Allen (LAC) (PPR)
Allen like Rivers has been on a fantastic tear these last four games. The combination of these two has been nearly unstoppable and Christmas will come early for Allen owners. The Chiefs give up the 2nd most points to fantasy receivers a benefit Keenan will definitely exploit. The Chargers haven’t seen the Chiefs since week 3 of the season where a whole lot has changed. It will be a pleasure watching Keenan carve up the Kansas City secondary with supreme skill and efficiency. Fully expect a stat line of 9 rec-125 yards-1 TD from Allen on Saturday!

Play with Confidence:
Julio Jones (ATL)
Jarvis Landry (MIA) (PPR)
Robert Woods (LAR) (PPR)
Mike Evans (TB) (PPR)
Antonio Brown (PIT)
Golden Tate (DET) (PPR)
Michael Crabtree (OAK)

Potential Big Day:
Dede Westbrook (JAX) (PPR)
Randall Cobb (GB) (PPR)
JuJu Smith-Schuster (PIT) (PPR)
Trent Taylor (SF) (PPR)


Start - Running Back:
LeSean McCoy (BUF)
Once again the Bills find themselves in a must win contest and the lead dawg to be leaned upon will be Shady. McCoy is the Buffalo Bills offense to this point as everything seems to go better when he is going strong. With Tyrod back in the mix and preparing to start, should only benefit Shady as he shouldn’t see too many stacked boxes. The Fins give up the 3rd most to fantasy runners and we fully expect Shady to be ready to rock and roll. His numbers in the pass game should also get an uptick favoring the PPR leagues. Either way, LeSean will not disappoint and will find the endzone once again.  

Jordon Howard (CHI)
At times Jordon Howard has frustrated his owners with his up and down play this season. All the trash cannot be put squarely on his shoulders as the Bears were in an impossible situation at quarterback. Howard has had a good season never the less, and as ADF advised last week to play Jordan with confidence, once again we endorse the must start. Howard and the Bears are up against the Lions this week as they intend to play the role of spoiler to perfection. Detroit gives up the 6th most to fantasy running backs and the Bears should continue to improve their solid performance from last week. The Lions defense started strong against the run but has fallen off as the season wore on – Howard will feast.

Devonta Freeman (ATL)
As the Falcons gear up to run the table and secure their position in the 2017 post season, a massive contributor will be Devonta Freeman. Last week vs the Saints, Freeman looked rested and electric running the ball with extreme burst and agility. With his running mate Tevin Coleman not expected to suit up for this one, the lion’s share of the carries will be handled by Freeman. Tampa Bay gives up the 10th most to fantasy running backs and Freeman will produce. He may not find the endzone this week with so many mouths to feed on the offense, but the possibility is very high. Start him and don’t look back.

Alvin Kamara (NWO) (PPR)
It was incredibly apparent how much Alvin means to the Saints offense after he went down early last Thursday due to concussion. Kamara is that X-factor in a scheme that allows creativity from the offensive coordinator’s game plan to adequately incorporate all his weapons easily. When Alvin was absent the offense struggled mightily with consistency we have become accustomed to so far this season. If by chance you made it through the first week of the playoffs despite the lost production from Kamara’s injury, there’s no question to go back to the well and start him. His upside always remains in PPR formats but he will come back right where he left off.      

Play with Confidence:
DeMarco Murray (TEN)
LeVeon Bell (PIT)
Latavius Murray (MIN)
Mark Ingram (NWO)
Alfred Morris (DAL)
Christian McCaffrey (CAR) (PPR)
Jay Ajayi (PHI)
Alex Collins (BAL)
Kenyan Drake (MIA)

Potential Big Day:
Jerik McKinnon (MIN) (PPR)
Rod Smith (DAL)
Jonathan Stewart (CAR)


Start – Tight End:
Zach Ertz (PHI) (PPR)
Not much this week for the endorsement of tight ends but we must include the great Zach Ertz. Even with the loss of Carson Wentz, Ertz will remain a top producing tight end in PPR formats. Nick Foles will look and find his check down early and often in his first start of the season. The Eagles face the Giants to which they give up the most points to fantasy tight ends which increase’s the Zach Ertz start stock. He may not find the endzone this week but should have enough PPR points to get you through.   

Jason Witten (DAL)
ADF encouraged the start of Witten last week to which it paid off handsomely. As the game wore on Witten was an afterthought and hadn’t received more than one target for most of the game. It appeared the start was due to bust, until Dak found the best tight end in Cowboys history over the middle for the touchdown to save his fantasy day. This week will view very similar to the way last week’s game played out. Witten is being held on the line to assist in pass-pro in hopes in keeping Prescott off the tuff. He should see more targets this week but will find the endzone once again. Oak gives up the 7th most to fantasy tight ends and Dak will find his man on Sunday Night Football.     

Play with Confidence:
Jimmy Graham (SEA)
Travis Kelce (KC)
