There are 5 games in the Late Slate this week, I have to tell you it feels so good to have more options.
Week 15 NFL DFS for the Late Slate
Quarterbacks
Justin Herbert
The Chargers play the Buccaneers in Week 15. The Buccaneers give up the most fantasy points in all of football to opposing quarterbacks. Quarterbacks average just under 300 total yards and 2 touchdowns per game against the Buccaneers. This should be a very good week to play Justin Herbert.

Bo Nix
Nix is a solid play this week against the Colts. The Colts give up the eleventh most fantasy points to opposing teams’ quarterbacks. Nix has multiple touchdowns in three out of the last four games. He has simply been producing this season. Bo knows passing.

Baker Mayfield
Mayfield has a tough matchup in Week 15 against the Chargers. But Baker has only scored less than 18 fantasy points 3 times this season. He is the overall QB5 right now in fantasy for the season. It looks like Bucky Irving may miss this week which means the Buccaneers will throw the ball even more. The Buccaneers pass the ball 55% of the time already.

Running Backs
David Montgomery
Montgomery has been a model of consistency this season, posting double-digit fantasy points in all but one game and currently ranking as the RB10 overall. In Week 15, he faces a Bills defense that’s been a goldmine for opposing running backs, allowing the third-most fantasy points to the position. The Bills’ defensive scheme funnels production to the ground game, making Monty a strong start.
But don’t overlook Jahmyr Gibbs! With the game carrying the highest over/under on the main slate at 54.5 points, there’s plenty of fantasy upside for both Lions backs in what should be a high-scoring affair. This matchup has all the makings of a fantasy bonanza!

Jaleel McLaughlin
The Colts give up the fifth most fantasy points to running backs this season. The Broncos play the Colts in Week 15. McLaughlin is second on the team in running back snaps but looked to have taken over the touches in the last game. He is a nice play this week at his price point.

Rachaad White
White has double-digit fantasy scores in 6 out of the last 7 games. With Bucky Irving leaving last week’s game with an injury, White’s usage saw a huge uptick. White capitalized with 90 yards and a touchdown rushing and 2 receptions for another 19 yards and a touchdown receiving. If Irving is out Rachaad White is a great play this week.

Jahmyr Gibbs
Jahmyr Gibbs has been electric this season and is set up for a smash spot in Week 15. He’ll face a Bills defense that allows the third-most fantasy points to running backs, thanks to a scheme that funnels production to the ground game. With his versatility and big-play ability, Gibbs is primed to take advantage.
This matchup has the highest over/under on the main slate at 54.5 points, promising plenty of scoring opportunities. While David Montgomery remains a strong play, Gibbs’ explosiveness gives him massive upside in what should be a high-scoring affair. Get ready for fireworks!

Wide Receivers
Amari Cooper
In Week 14, Cooper dominated the Bills’ passing attack with 14 targets, accounting for a massive 38% target share. He turned those opportunities into 6 receptions for 95 yards. Up next in Week 15, he faces a Lions defense that allows the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers.
With the game boasting the highest over/under on the main slate at 54.5 points, a shootout is on the horizon. Expect plenty of action between the Bills’ pass catchers and the Lions’ dynamic running backs. Cooper is set up for another strong outing

Khalil Shakir
Shakir led the Bills in yards in Week 14 with 106. He also scored a touchdown. In this matchup against the Lions Shakir should be targeted heavily by Josh Allen. I think we can expect him to shake things up on the Lions in Week 15.

Ladd McConkey
As we have already called out, the Chargers play the Buccaneers in Week 15. The Buccaneers give up the 10th most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. The best part is that slot receivers are the ones who seem to get the best of the Buccaneers. Ladd is leading the Chargers in targets with 81, which is a 22% target share. He will see the volume in Week 15 and should have the production.

Courtland Sutton
In the past six games, Sutton is averaging 9.5 targets per game. He does not have less than 70 yards in any of those games and has surpassed double-digit fantasy scores in each game. With the Colts, who are average at defending wide receivers up this week, there is not a more solid play. Sutton brings some serious floor play to your lineup this week.

Tight Ends
Pat Freiermuth
In the last three games, Freiermuth has either surpassed 58 yards or has a touchdown. His usage has been up. The matchup in Week 15 is not ideal. The Eagles defense is good. Muth is simply a good option at the moment, especially in the late slate.

Grant Calcaterra
With Dallas Goedert on IR Calcaterra is the starting tight end for the Eagles. I know people were talking last week like Calcaterra was going to save their season at tight end. Well, I am here to tell you NO he is not. But, Calcaterra can grant you the wish of having a serviceable body at the position even though he is touchdown-dependent. He is a good GPP play this week.

Defense
Broncos
The Bronco’s defense is very good. Anthony Richardson throws a lot of interceptions. I expect the Broncos to get a couple of sacks, maybe an interception and keep the Colts from scoring too many points in Week 15.
