Every week, Mike Mital is responsible for telling fantasy football owners around the world who to sit and who to start. This is not your grandpa’s ordinary, boring start em sit em list–this is bold! You’ve been warned…
Last week’s start ’em sit ’em predictions for our featured players (start Winston, sit Booker) was fairly accurate considering quarterback play has been down the last couple weeks. Jameis Winston did not perform well, but Devontae Booker was a complete bust racking up only 1 rush yard last week against the Titans.
Week 15 Start em
Tyreek Hill – KC WR
Tyreek has been a freak in his rookie campaign and is on the cusp of overtaking the Saints’ Michael Thomas as the most dynamic first-year receiver in the league thanks to his blazing 4.2 speed.
He has already established himself as the most dangerous return man in the NFL and has scored an offensive touchdown and a return touchdown in the same game not once…but twice this season! Against a weak Titans secondary that gives up large chunks of yards to opposing wideouts, I predict the Hill to continue his freaky streak in Week 15.

Week 15 Sit em
Julian Edelman – NE WR
Tom Brady’s favorite target sees a ton of targets each week, but draws a tough matchup against the physical No Fly Zone secondary of the Broncos in Mile High. The Patriots will find a way to move Edelman around and get him some short passes with the hopes of getting him into open space, but will have a hard time going over the top for big plays. In the fantasy playoffs, it’s smart to minimize risk with guys like Edelman, but I want touchdowns! Avoid this low-upside play and live to see another day.
