Week 15 Fantasy Football Rankings: Ranking the Top WRs

The following receivers sit at the top of our Week 15 fantasy football rankings: 

Marques Colston, Saints

There have been very few teams in recent years that have played as poorly in the secondary as the Vikings have over the past month or so. Colston should take full advantage on Sunday. 

Calvin Johnson, Lions

At this point of the season, teams are doing everything in their power to make sure Johnson doesn't beat them. But after watching the Raiders try to cover some of the Packers receivers last week, Johnson should get plenty of open looks.  

Hakeem Nicks, Giants

The Giants are throwing the ball around as well as any team right now, and Nicks is one half of the beneficiary. The Redskins aren't terrible against the pass, but we're rolling with a hot Eli Manning right now. 

Jordy Nelson, Packers

You could argue that coverages will shift to Nelson now that Greg Jennings is out two to three weeks. You could make a similar argument that some of Jennings' targets, especially in the red zone, will now be going to Nelson.  

Roddy White, Falcons

Fifty targets and three touchdowns over the past month are proof that White is still a top fantasy receiver. You can't ask much more than targets and touchdowns. The Jaguars should allow plenty tonight.

Wes Welker, Patriots

He's always the forgotten man in fantasy rankings (likely because of Rob Gronkowski), but Welker continues to produce. With more focus on the big tight end, Welker will keep seeing favorable matchups.  

Victor Cruz, Giants

There are plenty of footballs to go around to keep both Nicks and Cruz happy. And how do you keep Cruz out of these rankings? He's been as consistent as anyone over the past seven weeks, as all seven games have resulted in seven or more fantasy points. 

Vincent Jackson, Chargers

If you trust Jackson's roller-coaster season, then this week he is due for big numbers. The Ravens defense is a tough matchup, but the trend of disappearing one week then dominating the next is hard to deny.
