Week 15 Start 'Em Sit 'Em: Philip Rivers and 2 More QBs You Must Sit

Fantasy football is dominated by quarterbacks. That's true for the first week of the season and true for the playoffs. 

Every one of these quarterbacks is in a terrible matchup this week. These players aren't in the right situation to give you good fantasy productivity. If you have any of them on your team, look on the waiver wire at players like Andy Dalton.

Philip Rivers

The last two weeks notwithstanding, Rivers is in the middle of a terrible season. Playing the secondaries of the Jaguars and Bills will make a lot of quarterbacks look good. 

The Ravens are not the Jaguars or Bills. They will be bringing consistent pressure on Rivers, forcing him into early passes. Given how terrific Baltimore's secondary is, that's a bad play for fantasy quarterbacks.

I wouldn't bank on anything more than about 200 yards from Rivers this week. He'll have at least as many turnovers as touchdowns. 

Cam Newton

Keep this in mind with Newton: Any points you get from him are going to come by his legs. Houston's pass defense just doesn't allow any yards. 

Given the uncertainty that Houston has on their offense, they are going to feature a heavy dose of Arian Foster and Ben Tate. Carolina's run defense is terrible.

That hurts Newton because his offense is not going to be on the field all that often. When it is, Houston's defense has been a fantasy nightmare against quarterbacks all season.

Newton's been a stud all year, but he's going to lose a great deal of productivity on Sunday. 

Michael Vick

With the exception of LeSean McCoy, I wouldn't play anyone on Philadelphia's offense. I trust that Michael Vick will give a good effort, but I can't say the same about any of the people he'll be throwing to. 

With receivers that may or may not be trying against the Jets defense, he's not worth the risk. The Jets have the speed to limit Vick's mobility, and their secondary will keep the passing yards to a minimum.
