This column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less each week. For reference, the threshold used for Wins and Losses in this article will be if the quarterbacks can score at least 17 points, if the tight ends can score at least eight PPR points, and if the rest can score at least 10 PPR points.

Jake Browning was a complete afterthought entering the season as Joe Burrow\u2019s backup but now has been thrust into the starting position on a team fighting for playoffs. Even more surprising is the fact he\u2019s been playing so well. Over the last two weeks, he\u2019s scored 24.70 and 29.66 fantasy points. Browning has scored a rushing touchdown in both of those matchups as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week he gets a nice matchup as the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cincinnati Bengals<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> take on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/vikings\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minnesota Vikings<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Vikings stop the running game much better than they stop the passing game so Browning will once again be asked to carry the load for Cincinnati. In a crucial first week of playoffs in most fantasy leagues, Browning looks set up to be one of the best Week 14 streamers among quarterbacks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Joe Flacco<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>CLE<\/b> <b>&#8211; 7%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><b>v CHI<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Gardner Minshew II <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(<\/span><b>IND<\/b> <b>&#8211; 28%) v PIT<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Jerick McKinnon (KC &#8211; 41%) @ NE<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clyde Edwards-Helaire (who is also a good play) was the leader in carries for the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kansas City Chiefs<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the absence of Isiah Pacheco but it was Jerick McKinnon who outscored him in fantasy. McKinnon tends to always get hot late in the season and that\u2019s what might happen again if Pacheco misses more time. He only had four carries but scored a touchdown on one of them. McKinnon also had three targets and caught all three for 18 yards. That\u2019s really where he makes it happen in the passing game. The Chiefs currently sit as 9.5-point favorites with a solid 23.5-point implied total against the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/patriots\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New England Patriots<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. McKinnon should be a vital piece of a great offense and that makes him one of the better Week 15 streamers options at running back regardless.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jerick McKinnon last year from Weeks 14-17<\/p>\n<p>32.4 FPs (RB1)<br \/>34.2 FPs (RB1)<br \/>12.8 FPs (RB19)<br \/>22.6 FPs (RB7)<\/p>\n<p>Yes, McKinnon is a phenomenal Week 14 stream with Isiah Pacheco out.<\/p>\n<p>For more\ud83d\udc47<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/t739jrwTU5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/t739jrwTU5<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Wolf of Roto Street (@RotoStreetWolf) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RotoStreetWolf\/status\/1733219909448917102?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 8, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Clyde Edwards-Helaire (KC &#8211; 50%) @ NE,<\/b> <b>Ty Chandler (MIN &#8211; 22%) @ LV<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Odell Beckham Jr. (BAL &#8211; 42%) @ JAX<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Odell Beckham Jr. has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence as of late. He\u2019s scored double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games now. This past week was the best one and the most encouraging as well. Beckham Jr. was able to catch four passes for 97 yards and a score on his way to 19.70 fantasy points. On top of that, he saw ten targets in this game. That was a season-high for Beckham Jr. in his 2023 campaign. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week he has a chance to build upon that when the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baltimore Ravens<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> take on the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jaguars\/\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jacksonville Jaguars<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. The Jaguars have allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to wide receivers this year. That game could turn into one of the better games of the week as the Ravens are 3.5-point favorites and the projected combined total is 43.5 points. Beckham Jr. has seemingly emerged as one of Lamar Jackson\u2019s more trusted options in the absence of Mark Andrews and that makes him one of the better Week 15 streamers among wide receivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Ravens continue to limit Odell Beckham&#39;s route participation, but the veteran WR has still been the Ravens&#39; best weapon over the last five games.<\/p>\n<p>His 30% targets per route run (TPRR) almost doubles Flowers.

Might as well keep with the tradition especially when it\u2019s the trusty veteran Logan Thomas. Thomas has been a solid streamer all season and looks like one of the better Week 15 streamers as well. As mentioned last week, the Rams are a good defense overall but their biggest weakness is against the tight end position. They have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends this year after giving up a big game to last week\u2019s featured player, Isaiah Likely. They do a great job stopping the run and have strong perimeter corners but that leaves the middle open. That should be much to the benefit of Thomas and the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Washington Commanders<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Cade Otton<\/b> <b>(TB &#8211; 49%) @ ATL, Gerald Everett (LAC &#8211; 39%) v DEN<\/b><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo: Tommy Gilligan &#8211; USA Today Sports<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week 15 Streamers; This column will analyze a player at each position rostered in 50 percent of Yahoo leagues or less each week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3451,"featured_media":155005,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,10,7,16,8896],"tags":[7811,349,9314,618,5894,514,7638],"class_list":["post-154981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","category-ravens","category-bengals","category-chiefs","category-washington-commanders","tag-chiefs-featured","tag-fantasy-football-rankings","tag-jake-browning","tag-jerick-mckinnon","tag-logan-thomas","tag-odell-beckham-jr","tag-ravens-featured"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3451"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154981"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154981\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/155005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
