Week 15 Quarterback Rankings
The Top Three
Russell Wilson - Last week against the Jaguars I had Russell Wilson in the top three. I thought it was reputation suicide seeing how it was the first time that I posted my rankings for all to see here on Steemit. I trusted my models and garbage time or not, he delivered. Wilson finished inside the Top 5 at #5 with 24.84 fantasy points. This week he's going up against the Rams who aren't the Jaguars. Don't get me wrong, the Rams have a really good pass defense this year - but they don't have a Jaguars pass defense (aka great).
Ben Roethlisberger - Ben is playing at home and has all his offensive weapons firing on all cylinders. The Patriots defense hasn't been as bad lately as they were most of the early part of the season but they did just get eaten alive by smokin' Jay Cutler. On the second leg of road games, I don't see how the Patriots slow down this offense. I can't really say whether or not the Steelers will win - there's a lot at stake here in the AFC and should make for an exciting game. One major benefit to Ben's fantasy production is that they've been throwing the ball to Le'Veon Bell A LOT. He had only 13 rushes last week compared to 9 receptions on 12 targets.
Cam Newton - The Panthers are at home and going against the Packers in Aaron Rodgers' return game. The Packers have one of the worst pass defenses by any metric you look at which is great for Cam Newton but we're here for the rushing upside. Cam has been rushing for over 50 yards per game as of late and anytime you can get 5 extra fantasy points from your QB then you take it.
Good luck this week and go quarterbacks!
