Fantasy WR Rankings & Analysis: Will Roddy, Bowe and Lloyd Return to Greatness?

Week 15 WR Player Rankings

Brought to you by pyromaniac.com

Rankings for QBs, RBs and TEs

1. Roddy White (at Sea)

Roddy has been one of those guys (Kyle Orton and Dwayne Bowe are a couple others) who have killed many an owner's playoff hopes the last few weeks, but if you happened to skate by and make it into the postseason, he won’t disappoint you again. 

Seattle’s pass D is close to as bad as it gets (30th in the NFL), so have confidence in Roddy serving well as your WR1 this week, just as the Falcons will down the stretch.

2. Andre Johnson (at Ten)

Andre vs. Cortland Part II: The Rematch. 

To be honest, I don’t know if the Titans can afford to put Finnegan on him this weekend seeing that before their little Brouhaha a few weeks ago, ‘Dre was consistently making him look like a kindergartner out there. 

Finnegan or not, Johnson is going to light it up this weekend.

3. Reggie Wayne (vs Jax)

Wayne had a monster game against Jacksonville the first time around, going off for 15 catches and 196 yards.

With Manning realizing his Colts are backed into a corner right now, I’m not sure it’s going to matter what the Jags do to slow him and Wayne down this Sunday.

Their 28th-ranked pass D is simply overmatched.

4. Terrell Owens (vs Cle)

Terrell Me-O Owens went absolutely ballistic in their first showdown to the tune of 10 catches, 222 yards and a 78-yard TD. 

Those numbers won’t be repeated this weekend, but then again, hell, they just might!

5. Hakeem Nicks (vs Phi)

Nicks came back looking like he never left last weekend and won’t have a whole hell of a lot around him to compete for targets with this Sunday. 

Steve Smith is gone for the year due to knee surgery, Mario Manningham is hobbled by a hip flexor and Derek Hagan is, well, Derek Hagan. 

Expect Nicks to put up nice WR1 numbers this week.

6. Calvin Johnson (@ TB)

Megatron won’t have to deal with the Bucs top cover-corner (Aqib Talib) as he’s out for the season, so there’s hope for Calvin, despite the Lions being down to their third-string QB, Drew Stanton. 

Stanton isn’t what you’d call an “elite” QB, but he’s not bad and you can bet your ass he’ll be looking Johnson’s way a ton this game.

7. Marques Colston (at Bal)

Colston is one of the hottest receivers in the game right now, as he’s put up seven TDs and three 100-yard games in his last starts. 

Matt Schaub and Andre Johnson showed that a good QB and a big WR can beat the Ravens D, so expect Marques to keep his hot streak alive in Week 15.

8. Vincent Jackson (vs SF)

He’s back, and he looks like he just might be in midseason form! 

Rivers didn’t seem to have a problem making fourth-string WRs look good this year, but believe me, the guy is ecstatic to have his main man back. 

Plant VJax in your starting lineup this Sunday against a beatable 49ers secondary and expect some WR1 numbers to come your way.

9. Pierre Garcon (vs Jax)

Manning has been passing the ball a ton lately, and I don’t expect the Colts to all of a sudden turn to the run at this point in the season. 

Garcon’s numbers have been steadily increasing since he was called out for his butterfingers problem over a month ago, culminating in a two-TD, 93-yard effort last week against the Titans. 

Both Pierre AND Wayne have a chance to put up WR1 numbers this weekend.

10. Miles Austin (vs Was)

With Dez Bryant going down for the year, Austin becomes the sole WR1 on this team and will demand a ton of targets because of it. 

He may have been held at bay last week against the Eagles, but Miles showed that the Redskins D isn’t nearly as good as them by putting up 146 yards and a TD on 10 catches during their first game this season.

11. DeSean Jackson (at NYG)

DeSean had himself quite a game last week against the Cowboys weak defense, but it won’t come as easily this Sunday playing a top-five Giants defense. 

He’ll get his chances to shine and he might come away with another great performance, but it’s hardly a game where you can expect WR1 numbers from The Green Blur.

12. Wes Welker (vs GB)

The Slot Machine just keeps on churning out the big paydays. 

Wes continued his hot streak last week against the Bears, putting up 115 yards on eight catches in basically the worst weather the NFL season has seen so far. 

Ride this kid as a solid WR2 play through to the end of the year.

13. Larry Fitzgerald (at Car)

Whether it’s John Skelton or Skeletor himself, Larry is going to be getting a ton of targets from here on out and should be able to capitalize on them against the Panthers this weekend. 

He’s no longer a dependable WR1 for your team (nor has he been all year), but he should be able to put up WR2 stats this fantasy playoff weekend.

14. Dwayne Bowe (at StL)

The fantasy team killer struck again last weekend, as Bowe was held to just one catch and three yards against the Chargers. 

The good thing heading into Week 15 is that he won’t have to face this week what he’s come up against the past two Sundays.  

Two weeks ago, it was perennial All-Pro Champ Bailey on him, while last week it was the top ranked pass D in the league he had to deal with. 

The Rams won’t be able to throw either of them at Bowe.

15. Mike Williams – TB (vs Det)

Super-stud rookie WR Mike Williams was held to just one catch for 15 yards last week by DeAngelo Hall. 

Thank goodness the Lions don’t have anyone even close to that for him to have to worry about.
