Fantasy Football Week 15 Rankings: Updated Positional Breakdown for Flex and PPR

It's playoff time in the fantasy football world, as the NFL season is already rolling through Week 15.

The schedule started with a wild Thursday night affair between the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers, which was overloaded with ridiculous stats, though most likely didn't help fantasy managers. Not unless they somehow had the foresight to start Aidan O'Connell or Easton Stick, who combined for more than 500 passing yards and seven touchdowns.

If you missed out on those numbers, though, fear not. More will be on the way soon, as Saturday features a three-game slate.

Let's help find some of those stats with updated point-per-reception rankings at each of the three flex positions.

18. Chuba Hubbard, CAR (vs. ATL)

19. De'Von Achane, MIA (vs. NYJ)

20. D'Andre Swift, PHI (at SEA)

Who's hot: James Cook, Buffalo Bills

Cook has shined ever since Buffalo handed over the play-calling duties to Joe Brady. In three games since the change, Cook has tallied 43 carries for 174 yards, 14 receptions for 169 yards and two touchdowns.

Who's not: Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks

Walker missed multiple games with an oblique injury and potentially found himself in a timeshare upon his return. Neither he nor Zach Charbonnet could get much going against the San Francisco 49ers, but Charbonnet had the edge in carries (nine to eight) and a huge advantage in rushing yards (44 to 21).

Top 20

2. Tyreek Hill, MIA (vs. NYJ)

3. A.J. Brown, PHI (at SEA)

4. Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET (vs. DEN)

14. Rashee Rice, KC (at NE)

15. DeAndre Hopkins, TEN (vs. HOU)

16. Puka Nacua, LAR (vs. WAS)

17. DeVonta Smith, PHI (at SEA)

18. Calvin Ridley, JAX (vs. BAL)

19. Chris Olave, NO (vs. NYG)

20. Courtland Sutton, DEN (at DET)

Who's hot: Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos

Sutton might need to start paying rent in the end zone given how much time he's spending there. The 28-year-old has a touchdown catch in seven of his last eight games. And despite finishing with three receptions or fewer in four of those contests, he's only posted less than 50 receiving yards twice in this stretch.

Who's not: Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills

Digs is one of the league's most talented receivers, but that doesn't always translate to fantasy success. It certainly hasn't of late. He has topped 40 receiving yards in just one of his last four games, and he has a single touchdown catch during this stretch. He could snap out of it at any moment—he has seen 11 targets in each of his last two contests—but this is an awful time for a rough patch.

Top 10

1. Travis Kelce, KC (at NE)

2. George Kittle, SF (at ARI)

3. Sam LaPorta, DET (vs. DEN)

4. Evan Engram, JAX (vs. BAL)

5. David Njoku, CLE (vs. CHI)

6. Trey McBride, ARI (vs. SF)

7. Jake Ferguson, DAL (at BUF)

8. Dalton Kincaid, BUF (vs. DAL)

9. Isaiah Likely, BAL (at JAX)

10. Darren Waller, NYG (at NO)

Who's hot: David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

Njoku took a while to get going this season, but once he started rolling, almost no one has stopped him. In six of his last seven games, he's had either 50-plus receiving yards or a touchdown catch. In two of those games, he's checked both boxes, most recently delivering six receptions for 91 yards and two scores.

Who's not: Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills

Kincaid is TE12 in average PPR scoring on the season, per FantasyPros, but since Week 11, his ranking has slipped to TE16. His floor hasn't bottomed out thanks to strong volume marks in targets (21 over these three games) and receptions (16), but his ceiling is sinking due to diminishing yardage. He's managed just 105 yards (and zero scores) across these three contests combined, and in his last outing, his five receptions yielded all of 21 yards.
