| 0:00.0 | If you want to win your week 15 fantasy matchup and advance in the playoffs, well, you've got to |
| 0:04.4 | start the right wide receivers. So in this video, we're going to break down the five wide receivers that I would consider must starts this week. They don't seem that obvious for week 15 so you can win your playoff match. And the first guy is going to be a 32 year old wide receiver. Stefan Diggs just celebrated his 32nd birthday. He's now playing into December, which normally |
| 0:22.5 | is when these older wide receivers are going to slow down. So why is Stefan Diggs a must start this |
| 0:26.9 | week? Well, he's coming out of his by week, so that helps. It allows him to get healthier and have |
| 0:30.2 | an extra week to prepare for his former team, the Buffalo Bills, who he actually got to face earlier |
| 0:35.1 | this season. And boy, was that matchup beautiful. |
| 0:38.0 | 10 catches, a whopping 10 catches, 146 yards. |
| 0:41.9 | He dropped 25 ppr points on the bills when he faced them earlier this year, absolutely |
| 0:46.5 | took over. |
| 0:47.7 | And now he gets to face them again in a spot where it's an important matchup, not only |
| 0:52.0 | for playoffs, seating, the division, all of this. |
| 1:27.5 | And the game total looks nice. According to Draft Kings the patriots they've been bouncing around they're now one and a half point underdogs at one point this week they were one point favorites earlier this week you can see they have a 49 and a half point total projected for 49 and a half points some sites have them at 50 some sites have them at 50 and a half this is a nice spot. You're a slight underdog at home with a game that's supposed to have a high total for a wide receiver who already dominated this matchup once already this year. We could expect a lot of offensive production and pass attempts for the Patriots. And that should only help Stefan Diggs, who's also motivated by this helpful tweet right here by Andrew Cooper on Twitter, if Stefan Diggs averages 4 to 5 catches a game in about 75 yards per game to close out |
| 1:32.1 | the season, he can make an extra $1.5 to $2 million on his incentives. He's an older wide |
| 1:37.3 | receiver. He signed a lot of incentive heavy contracts. You can see right here, he gets a 500K |
| 1:42.4 | escalator for every 70 catches, 80 catches, 90, 100, and then he gets 500K more for 1,100, 1,100, 1,100, 1,300, 300, 300 yards. So there's a pretty good chance, as long as he's seeing around 5 catches a game, as long as he's seeing around 75 receiving yards per game, which is a good stat line, would give you at least 13 fantasy points, not even taking into account touchdown upside. Diggs could make another $2 million, which is a pretty big number. You might say, oh, this is a millionaire already. Why does he want $2 million? Are you kidding me? It's $2 million. And when his target competition remains nobody. Yeah, Kyle Williams before the buy the rookie had a nice touchdown. Okay. Yeah, DeMario Douglas sees a couple of targets out of the slot. Yeah, Kayshan Booty's healthier now, so maybe he'll be more involved, although he's never been a target hog. There is nobody who's going to see targets. 12 targets the first time Stefan Diggs faced the bills. Now out of the buy week. This is a wide receiver in Stefan Diggs, who in past years was very vocal about wanting to hit it in his incentives. |
| 2:34.8 | I expect him to do the same starting this week. So make sure Stefan Diggs is in your lineup. He's a top 24 wide receiver for me this week in my overall rankings. You could check those out at join the blueprint.com and join 10,000 other people who currently have access to all of our blueprint tools. Make sure he's in your lineup this week. and also make sure Wondell Robinson, the wide receiver one. |
| 2:52.1 | Yes, the wide receiver one when Malik neighbors done for basically this entire season for the Giants. By the way, Wondell Robinson, since week six, dealing with like three different quarterbacks over that span of time, has been a target hop. Over that span of game, according to the road of his game splits tools, the last eight games, Wanda Robinson, 14.76 fantasy points per game, a top 20 fantasy receiver, |
| 3:12.6 | nine and a half targets per game during this stretch is top 10 amongst wide receivers, |
| 3:16.8 | 70 receiving yards per game is also very strong. This is legitimate top 20 fantasy production. |
| 3:21.9 | I mean, in terms of his targets per game, like nine and a half targets per game over that stretch of games has him next to guys like Jackson Smith and Jigba. George Pickens, top three fantasy receivers in terms of the volume he's currently getting. And he's doing this despite not playing in like a juggernaut offense. He has just no target competition. Darius Slayton battling multiple hamstring injuries this year. I mean, nobody else is even all that involved in this offense. Like Isaiah Hodgson signed off the street a month ago, got some targets from I got some targets from James Winston, not so much from Jackson Dart since he returned. And now you're getting this wide receiver coming out of his byweek, out of his by week into the perfect matchup. The Washington commanders, due to injuries, due to just being bad in general, due to having older players on their defense, have been atrocious all year against opposing wide receivers and passing attacks. In fact, the commanders, as of right now, heading into week 15, allow the third most passing yards per game, 247 per game. You know the Cowboys, if you've been watching football this year, have been a fantasy gold mine. You know the Bengals for two years now have been atrocious on defense. The commanders are right up there as being that bad. According to PFF, they have the dead last 30 second rank secondary in terms of overall player grades and performance. So you're looking at a spot where Rodner Robinson should be very good. I mean, the commanders last week literally just gave up to J.J. McCarthy, um, his best game. Over seven yards |
| 4:31.4 | per attempt, three touchdown passes. J.J. McCarty in that game didn't look good. He was still making plenty of mistakes. Sure, he had a couple of nice plays. He had a couple of nice carries to move the chains, but he still didn't look good, but he looked good enough because he was facing the Washington commanders to put up a three touchdown game. So you got to get one though Robinson in your lineups this week. |
| 5:04.5 | He is easily a flex option or wide receiver two this week. And it's going to be a nice spot against the Washington commanders. Where as of right now, the Giants are two and a half point home favorites, a game that actually surprisingly has a nice total because both of these defenses are terrible. They're both bottom five secondaries in the NFL, both struggle against the run as well. A 47. a half point total this late in the season in the Northeast where weather is going to be colder, maybe some precipitation. That's a pretty nice total to expect points from both sides. Expect Juan La Robinson to see his normal eight to 10 targets. Now before we get into the next player, I've got something for the people watching who actually watch football. Because I've teamed up with Draft King's pick six to give you more ways to win while watching the games. Here's what I mean. All you do is pick more or less on two or more player stats, whether it's passing yards, touchdowns, stuff like that. And if your picks hit, well, you win. It's simple. There's no complicated rules. it's basically just you calling how a player performs and getting rewarded when you're right. Now here's the part that you need to know. |
