Week 15 of the NFL season is here which means bye weeks are over and we have a larger main slate this week than usual with 12 games on DraftKings and 13 games over on FanDuel.

Fresh off Thanksgiving week, we have an exciting slate with a lot of top QB options to build our lineups around which includes a headlining matchups for Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts and more!

 

 

As with every week, this week, we once again look to take advantage of some top matchups for our NFL DFS Week 15 QB coach as I bring you my NFL DFS Week 15 QB coach top targets, values and fades to build your lineups around this weekend.

What a week for the QB coach as we had the top three scoring QB's in the top and mid tier section and five of the top 10 as playable targets in the QB coach which included our QB Play of the Week in Sam Darnold.

Yes, our fade of Brock Purdy finished QB4 and our value plays weren't great but by in large, we have to be happy with the results. 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Top Tier Picks For Week 15

 

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills - DraftKings: $8,500  | FanDuel: $9,500

The way to attack the Lions has been through the air this season and the Bills offense has been rolling of late and could be at full strength this week with Keon Coleman ready to go and Dalton Kincaid possibly returning as well. We've also seen the rushing upside from Allen really start to come through with six rushing TD's over the last four weeks.

 

Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals -  DraftKings: $7,300  | FanDuel: $8,600

The Bengals losing record this season has absolutely nothing to do with Joe Burrow's production as the Bengals QB has 3,706 passing yards with 33 touchdowns on the year. The Titans defense has been good this season but injuries to their secondary have made them much more vulnerable and this weekend they will be dealing with covering Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins…that's good news for Burrow.

 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Mid-Tier Picks For NFL Week 15

 

Bo Nix, Denver Broncos - DraftKings: $6,300 | FanDuel: $7,600

Off a bye and in a pretty good spot. We may finally be getting some consistency from a number two receiver with Marvin Mims which will help but either way he and Courtland Sutton are in lock step and Nix is going to be a favorite in the mid-tier this week.

Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers - DraftKings: $5,900 | FanDuel: $7,500

If Ladd McConkey suits up then I'm all in here with Herbert this week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Chargers are at home and the Buccaneers pass defense is not very good at all. If McConkey is ruled out I'm a bit more indifferent due to the questionable upside of his wide receivers. 

NFL Week 15 DFS QB Value Picks

 

Jameis Winston, Cleveland Browns - DraftKings: $5,500 | FanDuel: $7,000

Another game with 40+ pass attempts for Winston and the volume is his main appeal for me this week against the Chiefs. Expectations here are that the Browns will be trailing the Chiefs and Winston will need to be throwing to keep them in this game. An added bonus is the fact that David Njoku is trending towards playing this weekend and the team could be getting and could be getting Cedric Tillman back this week as well. It won't be pretty but for the price, at the number of passes he's going to be throwing, it won't take a ton for him to hit value if he's even moderately successful.

 

Aaron Rodgers, New York Jets - DraftKings: $5,400 | FanDuel: $7,100

Rodgers always draws ownership because he has elite wide receivers to throw the football to and last week both Davante Adams and Garrett Wilson had big games against the Dolphins and in turn we saw Rodgers as one of the better DFS options. This week he has the best matchup on the board as the Jets take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.

 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Fades For Week 15

 

Jared Goff, Detroit Lions - DraftKings: $6,500 | FanDuel: $8,000

The way to beat the Buffalo Bills is on the ground and with two elite running backs in David Montgomery and Jahmyr Gibbs likely getting a heavy workload, I just don't think Goff is better than the other QB's in his price range, especially on FanDuel where he is overpriced.

 

 

 

NFL Week 15 QB Play Of The Week

 

Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins - DraftKings: $6,100 | FanDuel: $8,300

He's my top QB play per dollar this week. He's throwing the football a ton right now, with 11 touchdowns and 0 interceptions over the last four weeks while averaging over 300 yards passing per game. This matchup against the Texans has a high game total and expected to be competitive. I'd look for Tua again to have himself a big game in this matchup with his high volume, accurate passing attack.
