Welcome to the Week 15 Quarterback Rankings. If you’re reading this, you’ve likely made it to your fantasy football playoffs. Congratulations! Moving forward, it’s crucial to make the correct lineup calls. At this point in the season, I generally subscribe to the idea that you should stick with your studs and continue playing the guys who got you to this point.
Also, be sure to stay on top of all the injury and COVID-related issues affecting players, as you may need to have some backup plans in mind. With all of that to consider, let’s get to those rankings and notes.

Week 15 Quarterback Notes
- Lamar Jackson sprained his ankle last week and his Week 15 status is up in the air. If he plays, he gets a tough matchup against the Packers. The sprain could affect his mobility, so consider him a fringy QB1. If he can’t suit up, Tyler Huntley will get the start and is an option in two-quarterback leagues. Be sure to monitor the situation throughout the week.
- Taysom Hill continues to get it done with his legs. In the past two weeks, he combined for 174 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns and finished as the QB6 and QB4. His rushing ability should be able to keep him afloat in Week 15 as well. He gets a plus matchup against the Buccaneers, who give up the sixth-most rushing yards to quarterbacks – an area Hill can exploit.
- Kirk Cousins is the QB8 on the season. He’s thrown multiple touchdowns in each of the past six games, against three interceptions during that span. Cousins gets a nice Week 15 matchup against the Bears, who allow the third-most fantasy points to quarterbacks. They’ve also given up 24 passing touchdowns on the season, tied for fourth-most.
- Tua Tagovailoa has a fantastic matchup against the Jets. As of this writing, all three Dolphins running backs are on the COVID-19 list, which could mean that Tua leans more on the passing game in Week 15. The Jets allow the ninth-most passing yards to quarterbacks, as well as the fifth-most fantasy points to the position. The last time Tua faced the Jets, he threw for 273 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception.
- Ben Roethlisberger has quietly put up solid fantasy numbers recently. He’s been a top-10 quarterback in three of the past four weeks and has thrown multiple touchdowns in four of the past five weeks. This week, Roethlisberger gets a plus matchup against the Titans, who rank seventh-worst against quarterbacks.
