Week 15 Fantasy Football: Start/Sit Review
After two questionable weeks in our Fantasy Football Start/Sit Column , we finally turned it around (just as we promised) and delivered a solid record in our player picks for Week 15 .
And we weren't just a "little" right this week, folks: we hit it big with Tony Romo and Joe Flacco as starts, as well as Brett Favre as a great sit call. Read on for our overall record, as well as some quick analysis on each player from last week's column:
Start: 4-1
Sit: 4-1
Sleeper: 1-4

Colts Release Kenny Moore

Projecting Every NFL Team's Starting Lineup 🔮

Rookie WRs Who Will Outplay Their Draft Value 📈
Tony Romo, QB, Dallas Cowboys (Start)
Romo didn't throw for 398 yards like he did against the Chargers two weeks ago but he still had a great day. He threw for nearly 300 yards and a score and didn't have an interception for the fourth straight game. He probably didn't win you a playoff game all by himself, but he was still a quality start in Week 15.
Joe Flacco, QB, Baltimore Ravens (Start)
Flacco lived and actually exceeded our ungodly expectations with over 200 yards passing and four scores. We knew Flacco could (and should) tear up the Chicago Bears pathetic pass defense, but we were still pleasantly surprised with a dominant performance. Needless to say, he was a fantastic call for Sunday.
Jamaal Charles, RB, Kansas City Chiefs (Start)
Charles was just one of the many Browns/Chiefs players to go off on Sunday, and with a fantastic matchup against the Browns, we clearly saw it coming. Mark it down: another 150+ rushing day makes Charles officially a RB2 for the rest of the season.
Austin Collie, WR, Indianapolis Colts (Start)
Collie didn't blow us away this week, but for what we were hoping for (WR3 numbers), he produced at about the clip we thought he would. Three catches for 27 yards and a score was just enough to make him a solid start as your third option, or even as a Flex.
Brett Favre, QB, Minnesota Vikings (Sit)
We knew the Carolina Panthers pass defense would give Favre some fits, but we didn't expect the pass rush to be as effective as it was. Nor did we think the Panthers would bottle up Adrian Peterson like they did. Favre only managed a little over 220 yards and threw zero touchdowns to one pick, making him a poor play this week.
Matt Hasselbeck, QB, Seattle Seahawks (Sit)
We're not about to say we knew for certain that the Buccaneers would destroy the Seahawks, but we did have a feeling that Hasselbeck would continue his average to pathetic ways. If this game didn't show you his true colors, we're not sure anything will.
Laveranues Coles, WR, Cincinnati Bengals (Sit)
Coles wasn't as atrocious as we expected, but he still didn't produce as a No. 2 receiver should, and ultimately his four catches and 46 yards weren't enough for a supposed WR3.
Brian Hartline, WR, Miami Dolphins (Sleeper)
Hartline only caught two balls this week, but considering they went for 90+ yards, he gets the nod as a success this week. If you felt the need to give him a try as a WR3 or Flex, he did a fine job and made you a happy camper.
Ryan Grant, RB, Green Bay Packers (Sit)
If we give Moreno the "dud" call, then Grant has to be a win. Sure, he scored a touchdown, but his meager 37 yards and just eight total touches has to leave a bitter taste in your mouth, especially after seeing everything else the Packers offense did. He was a weak start this week.
Duds
Knowshon Moreno, RB, Denver Broncos (Start)
We almost want to count him as a "win", as he did total over 80 yards, which isn't a bad day. But we vouched for him as an elite option, and Moreno failed in that respect.
Jonathan Stewart, RB, Carolina Panthers (Sit)
Stewart took over for the injured DeAngelo Williams and stepped up big-time, totaling 114 yards (109 rushing) and a score. He became the first back in over 35 games to rush for 100 yards against the Minnesota Vikings, and likely took everyone by surprise with his elite performance.
Jason Campbell, QB, Washington Redskins (Sleeper)
Campbell threw for under 200 yards and two picks while throwing just one touchdown in a horrible 45-12 loss to the Giants on Monday night. Needless to say, he was not a good sleeper pick for Week 15.
Arian Foster, RB, Houston Texans (Sleeper)
What happened to this guy being "featured" in the offense? Two rushing attempts and a lost fumble made Foster a terrible play this week.
Danny Woodhead, RB, New York Jets (Sleeper)
Woodhead continues to be somewhat involved in the Jets offense, but was low on the totem pole in an offense that never found its groove against the Atlanta Falcons. Woodhead touched the ball just three times and didn't even manage 30 yards, making him a very weak sleeper call for Week 15.
Evan Moore, TE, Cleveland Browns (Sleeper)
No receiver in Cleveland amounted to any kind of fantasy value this week, as Brady Quinn didn't throw a touchdown and only managed 66 yards through the air. The story for Cleveland was Jerome Harrison's 286 yards rushing and not Moore making things happen in the passing game.
