Week 15 Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Andy Dalton and Rookie QBs to Keep in Your Lineup

For those of you still alive in your respective fantasy football leagues, I offer my sincerest congratulations.

And condolences to those of you whose luck ran all too short in the NFL's virtual counterpart.

Assuming you've still yet to set your lineup for Week 15, be sure to give these three rookie quarterbacks a gander, as they're all looking good to put up some points for your fantasy team on Sunday.

Andy Dalton

Andy Dalton isn't the sort to wow anyone with his fantasy production on any given Sunday, but the guy's been solidly consistent from week to week in his debut season.

As far as Week 15 is concerned, Dalton may not seem like the best play, at least on paper, considering the Rams' pass defense ranks as the seventh-stingiest in the NFL.

However, upon further review, you'll notice that St. Louis has surrendered strong performances to such "juggernauts" as Tarvaris Jackson and Alex Smith, thanks in large part to losing 10 members of its secondary to injury this season. 

Jake Locker

Jake Locker has some rather tantalizing fantasy potential, assuming, of course, that he starts on Sunday.

Matt Hasselbeck is listed as questionable for the Titans' game against the Colts on Sunday, though he's participated fully in practice this week.

That being said, Locker, who threw for 282 yards and a touchdown against the Saints last weekend, may well be worth the risk against an Indy D that's fourth-friendliest for opposing fantasy signal-callers in the NFL this season.

TJ Yates

What's not to like about TJ Yates? He's been solid under center in Houston since taking over the injured Matts (Schaub and Leinart), notching 300 yards and two touchdowns against the Bengals in Week 14, and this time around will have the distinct privilege of throwing against Carolina's crumbling defense.

Granted, the Texans will probably have Arian Foster and Ben Tate loosen up the Panthers a bit first, but once they're done wreaking havoc, look for Yates to victimize what little is left of Ron Rivera's unit.
