NFL Week 15 Predictions: Projecting the Week's Most Impressive Performances

I've got a handle on this NFL prediction stuff. 

I really do. 

It's all about matchups.

Find a talented offensive guy who's facing a defense that's looked susceptible over the last few weeks, and you've got your best bet. 

Making predictions certainly isn't an exact science, but here are the guys who will have the most impressive performances in Week 15. 

Drew Brees against the Minnesota Vikings 

Could this be anymore obvious? 

Brees is on an absolute tear and is playing just as efficiently as he did in the Saints' magical Super Bowl run in 2009. 

He's thrown for at least 322 yards in his last four games and has 11 touchdowns with no interceptions over that stretch. 

The Vikings secondary allowed a total of 14 incompletions between Tim Tebow and Matt Stafford over the last three weeks and surrendered four touchdown passes with no picks. 

New Orleans' heart and soul behind center has pieced together one of his best seasons as a professional, with a multitude of almost unbelievable individual games, but this contest has the potential to be his greatest performance of the year. 

Roy Helu against the New York Giants

Roy Helu against the Giants? 

Really? 

Really. 

Helu has three consecutive 100-yard rushing efforts, and he has averaged 29 touches in those three games. 

The Giants undoubtedly have a dangerous pass rush, but they allow nearly 128 yards per game on the ground. Even if they can bottle up Helu, remember that he's a go-to check-down-and-screen option for Rex Grossman. 

The former Nebraska Corn Husker has 13 grabs over his last three games. 

Jordy Nelson against the Kansas City Chiefs 

With Greg Jennings out for the Packers' game with the Chiefs, Nelson will be the favorite target of Aaron Rodgers, if he wasn't already. 

Nelson has 10 touchdowns this year and is outstanding over the middle as well as on the outside. 

He is big enough to overwhelm Brandon Flowers physically, and is there a better receiver at catching the "back shoulder" throw in the NFL? 

I'm not sure. 

In their aerial assault of the KC defense, Nelson will play a huge role.
