3 bold fantasy football predictions for Week 15 – USA TODAY
(Jeremy Brevard, USA TODAY Sports)
Fantasy football players often have to take chances to win. Our staffers made some bold calls for this weekend.
Consider these possibilities for Week 15 fantasy football lineups and daily fantasy football rosters.
Wocka, wocka … Fozzy laughs last
No Jonathan Stewart? No problem. Forget Cameron Artis-Payne. Do you really think the Panthers will put their undefeated season into his untested hands? At least we know one thing about Whittaker: He has been productive when called upon (63 touches, 324 offensive yards, three TDs) in Carolina’s system. Furthermore, Fozzy hasn’t lost a fumble in his NFL career. Mike Tolbert will rock the tough-yardage situations, while Fozzy will bear the load when Cam Newton isn’t slinging it. Whittaker put your opponent into hibernation with a 20-plus-point day.-Cory Bonini

Climb that Hill again
The Cincinnati Bengals will change things up now that AJ McCarron must replace Andy Dalton at quarterback. When McCarron entered the game in Week 14, Cincy was in need of a comeback. They probably don’t want to put the game in his hands if they can control the pace for the duration.
Enter Jeremy Hill. Adept offensive guru Hue Jackson will adapt by featuring the bruiser in concert with Giovani Bernard against the San Francisco 49ers, a sieve thanks to the second-most PPR points per game to opposing carriers.
In the latest chapter of a sophomore season of peaks and valleys, Hill (a reasonable $4,400 on FantasyScore) will return to the top with two touchdowns and close to 100 scrimmage yards. -Tim Heaney
You like that, Rex!?
Most folks don’t view Kirk Cousins as an adequate NFL starting quarterback. But he’s quietly managed five 300-yard games this year and will put up a fourth against Rex Ryan’s disappointing defense. The former Michigan State Spartan has just one scoring strike in each of the last four contests, but he’ll uncork three in Week 15 as the Redskins stay relevant in the putrid NFC East for another week.
He’ll spread the pigskin around nicely to DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Jamison Crowder and Jordan Reed. Buffalo will have no answer. –Keith Hernandez
