Week 15 Fantasy Report

 

WR Doug Baldwin- Seattle

Percent owned (ESPN): 19.9%

Sidney Rice is done for the since so you would figure Doug Baldwin, who already leads the team with 45 catches for 718 yards and 3 touchdowns, would get even more of the targets. You would be right as Baldwin once again led the way for the Seahawks on MNF with 7 catches for 93 yards and a touchdown.

WR Demaryius Thomas- Denver

Percent owned (ESPN): 9.6%

He might not have the best hands, but Denver’s wide receivers are very thin, so he’s actually Denver’s best and most targeted receiver. In the last 2 weeks, he’s caught 11 passes for 222 yards and 3 scores. Look for that to continue.

QB TJ Yates- Houston

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.9%

This TJ Yates kid isn’t too bad. He threw for 300 yards and 2 picks against one interception against Cincinnati this week. He’s got plenty of weapons to work with and a good offensive line and defense supporting him. There’s some upside with him as a QB2. If you need a quarterback, you can do a lot worse than picking up Yates.

WR Kevin Walter- Houston

Percent owned (ESPN): 12.6%

Walter was Matt Schaub’s favorite weapon the last time Andre Johnson was out. Johnson is out again and even with TJ Yates at quarterback, Walter still has some value. Yates isn’t too bad and he seemed to like throwing to Walter against Cincinnati, when he caught 6 passes for 76 yards and a score.

 

WR Donald Driver- Green Bay

Percent owned (ESPN): 18.0%

Greg Jennings is done for at least 2-3 weeks with an MCL tear so it’s next man up in Green Bay’s explosive offense. The man to benefit most figures to be long time Packer Donald Driver, who caught 4 passes for 74 yards last week in the game in which Jennings got hurt.

RB Chris Ivory- New Orleans

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.5%

Mark Ingram isn’t healthy and Ivory was the lead back in his absence this week with 15 carries for 67 yards. This could be more than a one week thing given Ingram’s injury (turf toe).

WR Damian Williams- Tennessee

Percent owned (ESPN): 12.1%

Matt Hasselbeck got hurt and Jake Locker came in. Locker’s favorite target was Damian Williams, who saw 10 targets for 4 catches and 62 yards. The Titans haven’t had a legitimate #1 receiver since Kenny Britt went down and Williams has the most upside of any of their receivers. Locker could be the starter for the rest of the season, which would be a good thing for Williams’ fantasy value.

RB Keiland Williams- Detroit

Percent owned (ESPN): 0.5%

With Kevin Smith out, Keiland Williams got the bulk of the carries over Maurice Morris, rushing for 43 yards on 12 carries. There could be some upside going forward here.
