Here’s the NFL daily fantasy football lineup to play in week 15
It’s week 15 in the NFL. Here’s the NFL daily fantasy football lineup to play to win on Sunday, December 15, 2019.
Hey, y’all. We’re coming down the stretch. We had a good week last week; here’s this week’s daily fantasy football lineup. With five games in the late afternoon slate, it’s a huge day to swap out guys in the middle of the day. If injury decisions open things up, keep your FLEX spot available just in case you get a chance at a value play.
As always, my emphasis is primarily cash games, with an eye on getting into the money in tournaments. These plays are primarily valued for their high floors and low risk, although some of them have a chance to go off for big games.
I always play my own lineups. I will be playing this lineup, among others featuring a lot of the same players, on Sunday. This lineup is optimized for DraftKings’ salary in the main Sunday slate. Don’t bet what you can’t afford to lose.
Okay, let’s do this.

QB | Jameis Winston | $6,900 | @ Detroit
The Lions’ secondary is in shambles, and Jameis throws the ball all over the park. Even if he throws an interception or two, the multiple-touchdown equity here makes this a solid play. If Ryan Griffin plays instead due to Winston’s “questionable” designation, *he’s* a viable option at $4,300 that saves you salary elsewhere.
RB | Adrian Peterson | $4,400 | vs. Philadelphia
This isn’t a great matchup, but it’s a great price for a guy who has shown that he gets almost all of touches when Darrius Guice is out.
RB | Patrick Laird | $4,500 | @ NY Giants
Another one of those “*someone* has to get the ball” situations. He’s involved in the passing game, which gives him a relatively safe floor, and a touchdown means he almost immediately makes value.
WR | Curtis Godwin | $7,700 | vs. Detroit and WR | Kenny Golladay | $7,200 | vs. Tampa Bay
These two defenses are hobbled and can’t defend the pass, and both Godwin and Golladay will see an uptick in their targets as both of their teams will be missing their other main options at receiver.
WR | Darius Slayton | $4,700 | vs. Miami
Slayton’s floor is in double-digits in the past month, and he’s been averaging almost 10 targets a game. There are other options in this offense, but there should be plenty of footballs to go around, especially for a guy who can take the top off a very poor Dolphins secondary.
TE | Darren Waller | $5,500 | vs. Jacksonville
Waller is a favored target in Oakland’s offense and has a pretty safe five-to-six target floor in a matchup with a subpar Jaguars defense. Also, another late swap option.
FLEX | Jarvis Landry | $6,700 | @ Arizona
With the well-documented struggles of Odell Beckham, Jr., Landry has become the top target in the Browns’ offense, especially in the redzone, which gives Landry huge touchdown equity against the Cardinals’ struggling secondary. Landry in the FLEX also opens up late swap opportunities in the FLEX in a five-game late slate.
DST | Arizona | $2,200 | vs. Cleveland
Arizona loves to blitz, and the Browns turn the ball over. Baker Mayfield has 16 interceptions this year. Two takeaways and two sacks equal value for the Cardinals. It gives you more salary elsewhere, as well as a late swap.
