Get Involved in Some NFL DFS Action with our Sleeper Picks
Editor’s Note: RotoBaller is proud to be partnering with FantasyScore, our new and exclusive DFS partner. For RotoBaller readers, FantasyScore is offering an instant 50% deposit bonus up to $250. No other DFS site offers an instant match bonus like this!
Other sites claim to provide users with matching dollars on their initial deposits. What they forget to mention is this is not an instant match, and you have to earn those “matched dollars” slowly over time, penny by penny. This can be misleading, and discouraging to new depositors.
FantasyScore does not do this. They really, truly match your deposit, instantly. When you make your first deposit, you immediately get half of that amount, and you can immediately use it to play. No waiting, no earning it slowly, no gimmicks – just a really good offer, that no other DFS is matching. Now, back to your regular scheduled programming...
FantasyScore Lineup Sleepers for Week 15
Some of us are blessed enough to have made it into the fantasy football playoffs after a long, hard-fought, regular season. For that fortunate minority of us, we bode you good luck in your pursuit of the championship.
For the rest of us sitting around in Week 15 of NFL action twiddling our thumbs, it's about time to embark on the most fun you've been missing out on thus far: playing in weekly leagues on FantasyScore.
To make your life easier, a few of our RotoBaller staff experts are participating in a FantasyScore tournament in Week 15, and we've solicited 1 favorite DFS sleeper of theirs along with a short explanation of why they are so sure this player is bound to go bonkers and win them some extra holiday spending cash. Good luck to all the participating writers! Without any further delays, we present to you our staff picks from RotoBaller's FantasyScore DFS Tournament for Week 15:
Kenny Stills - WR, NO ($4800)
After a disappointing week against the lowly Panthers, Stills price drops to a reasonable value. With elite receivers having such high dollar amounts this week, Stills becomes a strong buy-low option against a defense that is getting absolutely shredded by big play receivers.
Jonathan Stewart - RB, CAR (5,000)
Okay, so following last weeks breakout he isn't exactly a sleeper this week but he still comes at a sleeper price at $5000. There are certainly reasons for concern with Cam out and DeAngelo Williams expected to return but it's a very nice matchup and they will likely lean on the run throughout the game. I've slotted JStew in as my flex in this league and I like him better than anyone else in his price range.
Donte Moncrief - WR, IND (3,100)
With the 6'2" athletic freak officially wrangling the WR3 duties on the Colts from plodding veteran Hakeem Nicks, we finally saw an increase in snaps in Week 14. Now with future hall of famer Reggie Wayne running on fumes with a torn tricep, it's fair to project an increase in targets for young Donte. Even if he doesn't put together a monster day, he only needs to yield a score that is 3-4 times his salary's value (9.3-12.4 points), making him both a high upside play and a budget busting option on FantasyScore for Week 15 of DFS action.
Harry Douglas - WR, ATL (3,200)
With Julio Jones running a marathon worth of routes in Week 14, it seems he may still be letting his sore bones heal as we head into Week 15's showdown in Atlanta. The Steelers are 12th in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers and allow a healthy 24.49 points per contest. Keep an eye on this situation as the injury report unfolds over the weekend because if Julio Jones sits out versus Pittsburgh, Harry Douglas may put up WR2-WR3 numbers at a near minimum price tag.
Marqise Lee - WR, JAC ($3,300)
Marqise Lee is finally healthy and has begun to emerge as as WR2-WR3 option for fantasy owners depending on weekly matchups. Blake Bortles has been looking his way quite a bit of late as evidenced by the 16 total targets he's received over the past 2 contests, and Baltimore allows the most points per week in the NFL to fantasy wide receivers, a bonkers 28.18 average. He may not be the sexiest pick ever but Marqise Lee may be in for a great matchup in Baltimore on Sunday, so don't hesitate to use the Jags #1 wide receiver as your WR2 or Flex play option in Week 15 of DFS action on FantasyScore.
Toby Gerhart - RB, JAC ($3,000)
Anything priced at the bottom of the barrel usually implies either a great deal for the consumer or something a store is desperate to get rid of at any cost. Well Toby "The Stanford Sledgehammer" Gerhart is a little of both entering Week 15 versus the Baltimore Ravens. The Jaguars stink at football, but Denard Robinson is officially out for the season and we smell a true PPR running back sleeper here for Week 15. We anticipate a lot of passing as Bortles and company try to stay pace with Flacco's deep wide receiving corps. That means a bunch of screen passes and opportunities for Gerhart who should play the role of third down/passing down back versus the Ravens stout run defensive front. Get him in if you are going huge at your RB1 or using two stud WR1's and need a budget buster at Flex or RB2.
Latavius Murray - RB, OAK ($5,000)
If you want the sexy running back plays for Week 15, you go further up the food chain and get the Joique Bell's and Justin Forsett's of the world into your lineup. If however you want to save over 1000 DFS dollars in Week 15, Latavius Murray has a great matchup versus a Kansas City Chiefs run defense that has been hemorrhaging points to fantasy running backs since Murray had his breakout game against them in Week 12. If you need to save a few shekels for your perfect FantasyScore lineup, then we think you should give New York State's finest a shot at glory in Week 15 and see if he can return 15-18 points and show some nice return on your investment.
Now that you have all the ammunition needed to go to battle in a FantasyScore tourney for Week 15, we look forward to seeing you out there fellow RotoBallers. Remember to check back every week for our latest FantasyScore DFS fantasy football sleeper picks to help give you the edge you need over the competition.
