If you have advanced to week 15 of your fake football season, congratulations! However, you probably shouldn’t fire up that victory stogie quite yet, as there are a couple more playoff victories to be had before the corks get popped and we hit the club with Pacman Jones and Vince Young. Below are The Fake Football’s Week 15 Staff Rankings, which will be your guide to any lingering lineup issues. As always, feel free to leave those questions in the comments section. Good luck!

Big Ben or Kaepernick? PPR FLEX : Mathews or Sproles THX
Ok. I usually dont ask total line-up questions, but my team has dwindled thanks to injuries and I really need help. And, Im playing my mom (she is a fantasy beast, but still… I dont want to get booted out of the playoffs by my mother). So any help appreciated. 12 team non-ppr. Need two WRs, two Rbs, and a flex.
WRS:
Julio Jones, Blackmon, denarius moore, tb mike williams, Chris Givens, DHB, Avant
RBS
Chris Johnson, knowshon, ballard, McFadden, Shonn Greene
Also, I have gresham at TE. He can be frustrating. Should I drop him (or someone else) for one of the following:
Pitta, schefler, dressen, watson, mccoy, harbor, fasano, or cook. Or just stick with gresh
Thanks for the help
RB2 question: SJax, R. Bush, or Ridley?
Hey Jeff, Basically, what do I do this week!?
12 Team PPR: Brees, Freeman, Rivers (picked him up only because I’m playing against RG3 this week), Cruz, Dez, Garcon, DX, James Jones, Martin, Alex Green, Beanie, Graham Rudolph. Start 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex (W/R/T), 1 TE.
10 Team PPR: Eli, Luck, Dez, Cruz, Wayne, Marshall, VJax, AP, Ray Rice, DMC, Ballard, Vernon, Gates, Bennett. Start 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex (W/R/T), 1 TE.
Thanks!
I’ve got some money on the line this week, and some random injury issues to attend to. Here’s my lineup and a few questions:
QB: Ryan v. NYG
WR: Welker v. SF
WR: Cobb @ CHI
WR: Nicks @ ATL
RB: B.Brown v. CIN
RB: Morris @ CLE
TE: Graham v. TB
W/R: Forte v. GB
W/R/T: Garcon @ CLE
BN: Dez v. PIT
BN: J.Gordon v. WAS
BN: Freeman @ NO
BN: LeShoure @ ARI
BN: Witten v. PIT
D: DET @ ARI
BN: SD v. CAR
0.5 PPR. 3 point bonuses at 85 yards receiving/100 yards rushing; 6 point bonuses at 135 yards receivng/150 yards rushing.
Do you slot in any of my bench guys? With the Dez injury I’m not sure which WR fills in for him and who takes over the W/R/T flex spot. I’m leaning Nicks for Dez and then not sure on Garcon or Gordon. I have some weird feeling that Gordon may blow up this week, but Garcon has been real solid.
But my biggest question is: do I bench Matty Ice? He’s been underwhelming but I don’t know if I can bench him even with Freeman’s great matchup.
QB points: 25 yards per point; 3 point bonus at 250 yards passing; 6 point bonus at 335 yards passing; passing TDs are 4 points; interceptions are -1 and sacks are -0.5. Rushing bonuses also apply.
Thanks. I definitely appreciate the help.
Playoff time Jeff! Need your help…
Pick 3 please – Andre Johnson, Colston, Bryce Brown, David Wilson and Ryan Mathews. Sucks Bryce is playing Thursday night when deciding on giving Wilson the nod…
Thanks!
Start Maclin Thursday or wait and see what develops with the Amendola/Givens situation and start one of them?
1 pt PPR, need 1 WR, 1 RB and a FLEX
Decker, DX, Wilson, Brown, Leshoure, Mathews
1 pt PPR, need a FLEX
Mathews, Moreno, DX, Josh Gordon or Ridley
Two questions:
QB – Kaepernick, Romo or Big Ben
PPR Flex – Bryce Brown tomorrow night or wait until Sunday for either Dez or Decker
Thanks!
Chet and Jeff,
Who do you guys like this week at WR2? Maclin, Britt or Stevie Johnson?
Thanks,
B-Real
I have Rodgers and Cam. Don’t know what to do. 2 out of the 3 of you have Cam as the slightly better play. When the rankings are this close should I go with the better talent (Rodgers) or the rankings (Cam)?
Need lineup help on a standard league:
RB: Starting Peterson and Spiller
WR: Starting Marshall and Colston
Need help with 3rd WR from D. Moore, A. Hawkins, B. Lloyd, or A. Brown
Need help with Flex: B. Brown, D. Wilson, K. Moreno
Thanks in Advance
PPR
Flex: Sproles, Maclin, Decker, J Bell, J Gordon?
Thanks for your help this season!
I have D. Martin, Alf, Ridley, and D. Wilson. Is Ridley’s matchup with SF that tough that I should play Wilson if Bradshaw is out? Or do my other backs assure me of enough points that I can play it safe and go Ridley?
Garcon or Wilson for Flex this week? I assume this depends on Bradshaw.
0.5 ppr, need 2: CJ?K, Bryce, DX, or Sproles?
Need to start any two: DMc, Bryce Brown, Cobb, Dez.
Would you start Gordan over Cobb this week? Assuming the answer is no, need a flex pick from Gordan, David Wilson and Ballard. Thanks!
What 2 WR n 1 RB do I start? Garcon, Torrey S, Lloyd or Hartline. Mathews, J Bell, M Owens, LaMiChael James. Thanks a lot!
‘m going crazy trying to pick a playoff defense: Broncos, Bengals, Dolphins or I can try and get the Lions off waivers?
PPR Flex: BJGE, SJax or MWilliams?
Too many flex options!! Who would you start between Welker, Garcon, DMC, B Brown? Standard scoring.
Great work guys. Looking for best 2 upside RB between BGE, al Morris, bryce brown, steve Jackson
.5 pt ppr yardage league. Dez or Cobb?
Then pick 2, b brown, Wilson or mathews
Which 2 at Flex in Standard 12 League: Moreno, Leshoure, R. Bush, Cobb or D. Alexander? Thanks!
RGIII or Russell Wilson?
Ashlon, Baldwin, or D. Harris?
.25 PPR yardage league. Pick 3:
Cobb, Dez, Wilson, Bryce Brown, Mathews.
Tough one here…
B. Brown or SJax.
B.Brown or SJax or DWilson (if I sit Brown it’s to wait till Sun to see if Bradshaw plays)
Chet could you check on my 2 PPR questions above. Thank you.
Non-PPR WR Amedola or Hawkins?, also kicker S-Bas or Graham
Eli Manning or Josh Freeman?
So I have to decide between R. Bush, R. Mathews and Dwyer at the flex. Differing opinions among the staff on the first two, and each of you thinks Dwyer is around the early 20s in the ranks. Since I’m looking for upside only, I’m leaning Bush against the Jags. Mathews gives up too many snaps to Brown and Dwyer looks to be rotated with Redman quite a bit. Thoughts?
Who do you trust more this week, Dez (if he plays) or Shorts. It is a PPR league. Also, Rudolph or Scheffler at TE (assuming Pettigrew is out). Thank you very much.
Rank order ppr pls and assume ab out… Wilson, Murray, Greene, sproles need two
What makes you like Eli over Luck this week?
Week 15 is the first week I this season that I may actually have to make a RB v. WR in my flex spot. With some less than great RB choices, I have been using a WR all season at Flex in a full PPR league (1 pt per reception, 1 point per 15 rec. yd, 1 point per 10 rush)…but managed to grab Moreno a couple weeks ago and then Wilson as a lottery ticket last week. Assuming Bradshaw doesnt play, i have the following
WR – Megatron
WR – Julio Jones
RB – J. Charles
RB -
Flex -
For the last two spots, need to pick 2 of 3 from – R. Cobb, Moreno, Wilson.
If Bradshaw plays, pretty clear I go with Cobb and Moreno, just not sure what the pecking order would be if Wilson plays.
Start/Sit questions:
1) Bennett is still available @ TE. I have Rudolph. (Even if Bennett is the better option, I may have up to 3 Giants starting. Don’t feel great about that)
2) WRs: Nicks/Jennings/Brown/Hartline – go w/staff rankings?
3) Speaking of other Giants. Bradshaw/Wilson or LeShoure?
I get the feeling I’m over-analyzing because it’s playoff time.
Ok, I have to ask, is there any way you start Freeman over Brady?
Crazy to think about starting Freeman over Peyton? Pick two of these five for flex positions: Bryce Brown, Knowshon Moreno, Montell Owens, Joique Bell or Denarius Moore? Thanks.
.5rec –Who do I NOT play?–Darren McFadden vs Pit,Bryce Brown vs Cin,DeMarco Murray vs Pit, Pierre Garcon vs Cle(J. Haden )
Need 2 of these 3: B. Brown, Moreno, or D. Wilson in 1 pt. PPR?
Bryce Brown, BJGE, DeMarco Murray, Matt Forte or P. Garcon in a flex? Thanks!
Which two do I play:
Bryce Brown
Green-Ellis
Mikel Leshoure
Pick 3 in a .5PPR
Eric Decker, Mike Williams, Greg Jennings, Denarius Moore, Chris Givens.
Thank you!
In a PPR league, who do you like between Dez and Shorts
Same league, what about Rudolph or Pettigrew at TE
Thank you very much.
Am I crazy for thinking about starting Andre Hawkins over Britt? Hawkins looks so good next to Green.
Which 2 RBs should I start out of these 3: Bryce Brown, Green-Ellis, and Davud Wilson.
Which QB should I start? Nick Foles or Matt Schuab?
Bryce Brown or DeMarco in PPR? and why, cuz i’m clueless LOL
PPR: Brown or McFadden?
Need 2 RBs in PPR, Sproles, Moreno, and McFadden. Which 2? Thanks.
Jeff,
Who do you guys like this week at WR2? Maclin, Britt or Stevie Johnson?
Thanks,
B-Real
Need 4 in a standard scoring league: Roddy White, Randall Cobb, Pierre Garcon, Dez Bryant, Kenny Britt, Vick Ballard.
Leaning towards the first fours. What do you think?
I know it’s early, especially considering my strategy can and will likely change after tonight’s game (have Bryce Brown, facing AJ Green), but where does it stand right now with all exterior factors removed?
2 Flex positions in .5 PPR w/ Return yards:
Options:
SJax / David Wilson / K. Moreno / Leshoure / C. Shorts
FYI: I am leaning Wilson and Moreno
Thanks!
Steven Jackson or the law firm? Maclin or mike Williams?
Need to start 2 in a PPR @ flex:
Bryce Brown, Wilson, Sproles, Garcon, Austin. If I sit Brown and Bradshaw plays, I ‘d need to start Sproles and Garcon. Do I need to start Brown tonight?
bryce brown or sproles in PPR? thanks!
torn between the bengals def tonight or the packers on sunday…what do you guys think?
also…bryce brown tonight or play david wilson or bradshaw sunday? thanks!
Welker, B Brown, Alfred Morris, David Wilson, Sproles. Who ya got?
1-point PPR. I need to start 2RB and 1 Flex.
Playing the guy who called out that he was taking me down at the draft so I want to crush him. What do you think is my optimal lineup? Currently starting:
QB: Brady
WR: Alexander
WR: Austin
WR: Blackmon
RB: Martin
RB: Charles
TE: Scheffler
RB: Spiller
K: Bryant
DST: Detroit
Bench is: Maclin, Britt, Fitzgerald, Chris Johnson, Vernon Davis, Bears DST.
You think I have the best lineup in or do I gamble with one of Maclin or Britt over Blackmon and risk fantasy suicide with Davis at TE and the Bears against Rodgers?
Thanks a lot for the help all season, can’t say I would be in 3 playoffs without you guys here!
Have Bryce Brown, David Wilson. Should I play Bryce Brown as RB2 tonight and decide at Flex between David Wilson and Brandon Lloyd, Antonio Brown, and Kendall Wright on Sunday? Or get Bryce out now?
Need best 2 wr, 1Rb, and flex out of..dez, Julio, Denario, Ryan Matthews, dmc..thx
1PPR in my question
Having major trouble deciding between Bryce Brown and Sproles? It’s a PPR league…I also own D Martin, Mathews, Murray, and R Bush. Martina’s my other RB I’m starting and flex is already filled by Julio.
I love the upside of Bryce but I have him starting in another league I’m still alive in. I really don’t want a bust in 2 leagues but Sproles doesn’t really get carries so I feel like Bryce’s talent and workload outweighs the PPR value for Sproles…..help?
bryce brown or matt forte?
NE DST OR CIN DST I have CIN in right now
Now that it seems like both RG3 & Dez will play. Do I roll with Garcon over Dez & flex DX over Dez? How would you rank these WRs this week: Cruz, Marshall, Wayne, VJax & Dez? (PPR)
Playoff time…every point counts! PPR league.
DST Steelers or Rams?
Need two….Rudolph, DMoore, orDavery?
PPR Pick 2
Spiller
Brown
Murray
Le Shoure
Morris
Dwyer
You agree with this order/ranking:
D. Martin, Spiller, Forte, B. Brown, BJGE, D. Murray, R. Matthews?
My main concern is Forte (who doesnt have a good history vs GB) or B.Brown on TNF (have had bad luck on thursdays).
Lastly, should i scoop Bengals D, or play MIA over JAX? I have NE D also.
I appreciate it.
Who should I start need 1 WR and a flex… Kenny Britt, Crabtree, Stevie Johnson, Amendola, Beanie Wells or W. Powell? PPR and half point every rush attempt. Also Luck, Wilson or Rivers. You get 6pts per td whether passing or rushing. Also half point every rush attempt for qb as well.
Charles, DMC, or Ridley? Choose 2 in PPR league.
Would you start Kap or Weeden over Romo this week?
need 3 out of 4 for 2 WR and FLX
DX, Dez, Cobb, Gordon….I currently have DX and Cobb locked in at WR with Gordon in at flex but if the weekend reports on dez are good would you play him over gordon at flex?
Luck or Kaepernick (6 per pass TD)
McFadden, Murry, Danario Alexander…..need 2 PPR
Big Ben or RGIII?
What up Chet-frey! Thanx for the rankings all year! Start 1 wr: Fitz, Miles, Shorts, Torrey, Gordon. Which 3 rbs: T Rich, Morris, Murray, Bradshaw, Wilson. And which TE would you roll with: Olsen, Bennett, or Rudolph? Thanx!
Standard league
6 weapons, 5 spots:
Moreno, Martin, Wilson, Megatron, Julio, DX
Thank you
PPR: DX, S. Smith or D. Sproles in my flex? Thanks!
Howdy- PPR league, need 2 flex options out of: M. Bennett/B. Meyers/D. Amendola/S. Greene
For a flex this week, start Cecil Shorts, Torrey Smith, Vernon Davis or Alex Green?
actually, pls. rank them for me. Thanks.
Hi guys, I need two:
¿Nicks, Wallace, Austin, Shorts or Dez?
Thanks.
would you play either kyle rudolph or martellus bennett over jimmy graham this week? standard league. also, broncos, rams, titans, or browns def this week?
