Week 15 Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Christian Ponder and Struggling QBs Bouncing Back

What do you do when you fall down?

No, you don't just lie there waiting for someone to pick you up, silly.

You get back up.

Week 14 was the source of discomfort for more than a few quarterbacks, but three struggling quarterbacks in particular will bounce back in Week 15.

3. Carson Palmer, Oakland Raiders

It's safe to say Carson Palmer had a bad game in Week 14 against the Oakland Raiders.

He tied his career-high with four interceptions, set in 2007 against the Arizona Cardinals, and threw just one touchdown in the process.

But I have hope for Palmer in Week 15.

He does face the Detroit Lions, who aren't exactly the easiest defense to deal with, but they did just almost allow Joe Webb of the Minnesota Vikings to come back against them in Week 14.

Palmer is still interception-prone, but he's better than what he showed in Week 14. I expect him to bounce back.

2. Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals

Andy Dalton has proven he can play in the NFL this season, but he's still a developing rookie quarterback.

Against a tough defense in the Houston Texans, he predictably struggled.

But he faces a better matchup against the St. Louis Rams in Week 15, who just gave up 30 points to Tarvaris Jackson and the Seattle Seahawks.

The Bengals are a playoff contender. The Rams are a complete mess.

1. Christian Ponder, Minnesota Vikings

Christian Ponder is inevitably going to go through his struggles as he develops to the NFL, but he's surprised many people in a good way this season, showing promise.

In Week 14, he basically had an awful game, but I see this as a hitch.

I have faith in Ponder, and I'm pretty sure the Vikings do, too, as they are set to start him in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

The Vikings are likely going to fall behind early to the Saints, which means a lot of passes from Ponder, and the Saints have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.

Ponder will have a good fantasy day.
