Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings for Week 15: Patrick Mahomes, Jaxson Dart, Sam Darnold and More
Morgan gives his week 15 fantasy football rankings for quarterbacks.
Let's wrap up our week 15 fantasy football rankings by looking at the wild quarterback position.
We've gone over rankings at running back, wide receiver and tight end already, so be sure to check those out too. Check back later in the week for start/sit content!
Check out week 15 fantasy football projections for quarterbacks on FantasySP as well.
1. Josh Allen
I'm going with Allen in the No. 1 spot for week 15.
The Patriots are as average a matchup as a quarterback can have. Allen had 253 passing yards, 53 rushing yards, two passing touchdowns, an interception and a fumble in the last contest between the teams.
2. Jalen Hurts
Hurts was absolutely awful in week 14, throwing four picks and also losing a fumble.
He can only go up from there, and an average matchup against the Raiders should allow him to do that. Trust Hurts this week.
Stafford has been up and down as a fantasy asset over the past four games, but I see him being a high-end option this week because of a matchup.
His old team, Detroit, is a super favorable fantasy matchup, and I see the veteran QB starring as a fantasy asset.
Mahomes wasn't good in week 14 either, throwing three picks and not having a touchdown.
The Chargers are a tough challenge for him again in week 15. Mahomes had 258 passing yards and a touchdown, plus 57 rushing yards and a score against LA back in week 1, so you should have no issues starting Mahomes in a gotta-have-it game for KC.
5. Drake Maye
Maye is ready for the stretch run after a week 14 bye.
A clash with the Bills sets up as a super tough matchup. Maye had 273 passing yards, 12 rushing yards, but no touchdowns in the first meeting between the teams.
6. Dak Prescott
Prescott continues to deliver good fantasy results.
The Vikings are a very tough matchup on paper, but I believe in Dak and this Dallas offense enough to rank him sixth for week 15.
7. Jaxson Dart
Dart is another QB who had a week 14 bye, so he's fresh for the stretch run.
He'll make his first career start against Washington. The Commanders are a top-five fantasy matchup for quarterbacks.
8. Joe Burrow
Burrow was good again in week 14, so he's immediately returned to being a high-end fantasy QB.
He gets a slightly above-average matchup against the Ravens, who he just faced in week 13. Burrow had 261 passing yards, eight rushing yards, two passing scores and no turnovers in the first game.
Jackson finally looked a bit like his old self in week 14, so maybe he will finish the year strong.
He had 246 passing yards, but no scores and a pick in the first game against Cincy - Jackson added 27 rushing yards, but lost two fumbles for a really poor fantasy showing. Cincy is a super favorable matchup on paper, so I expect a big showing from Jackson in week 15.
10. Brock Purdy
Purdy also had off in week 14, so he's fresh and ready to go for week 15 and beyond.
The Titans are a good matchup for him, so a top-10 finish is definitely doable.
11. Trevor Lawrence
This might seem high for Lawrence, but his recent results speak for themselves.
A slightly above-average matchup against the Jets could help Lawrence push for a top-10 finish.
12. Baker Mayfield
Mayfield has been underwhelming in three straight games, but I see him kicking things up a notch on Thursday.
His matchup is the Falcons, who he had 167 passing yards, 39 rushing yards and three passing scores against in week 1. Atlanta is another slightly above-average matchup for a fantasy QB.
13. Jordan Love
Love has been great over the past two weeks, so we'll see if he can keep things rolling in week 15.
Denver is a very tough matchup, but with his recent results, I'm willing to start Love in any format for week 15.
14. C.J. Stroud
Stroud was solid in week 14 in a big win over KC.
A below-average matchup against the Cardinals is next, but I see Stroud as an average-or-so fantasy option this week.
15. Bo Nix
Nix was average again in week 14, so this feels like the perfect ranking for him.
The Packers are a tough matchup on paper, so that's why I cannot put him any higher.
16. Jared Goff
Goff was good in week 14, but a lack of touchdowns held his fantasy score back.
A below-average test against the Rams is why Goff falls to the middle of the pack.
17. Justin Herbert
Herbert gutted through an injury in week 14, and had a below-average result.
A slightly below-average matchup against Kansas City is next. Herbert had 318 passing yards, 32 rushing yards, three touchdown passes and no turnovers way back in week 1. I don't see him performing nearly as well this time around.
18. J.J. McCarthy
McCarthy bounced back in a big way in week 14, but he still only had 163 passing yards.
I'd be willing to start him in any format because of a top matchup against Dallas in week 15.
19. Sam Darnold
Darnold was great in week 14, and he will look to keep things rolling against the Colts this coming week.
Indy is a slightly below-average matchup, so he's a good deep-league option in my eyes.
20. Caleb Williams
Williams was average in week 14, despite a terrible first half.
I see him struggling in a tough test against the Browns this week, which is why he ranks so low for me.
21. Tyler Shough
Shough is starting to look like the future franchise QB in New Orleans - he's at least been a decent fantasy asset of late.
Carolina is a tougher test for him. Shough had 282 passing yards and two touchdowns, while avoiding a turnover, against Carolina in week 10, so I'm not opposed to starting Shough in deeper leagues in week 15.
22. Marcus Mariota
Mariota will start for the injured Jayden Daniels again.
His matchup against the Giants is great, but I do not trust Mariota to get the job done.
23. Jacoby Brissett
Brissett is as steady as they come right now.
However, Houston is next up for him, and with how the Texans' defense has looked of late, I'm not in favor of starting Brissett in standard leagues, or deeper leagues for that matter.
24. Aaron Rodgers
Rodgers turned back the clock and looked pretty good in week 14.
Miami is an above-average matchup for him, so he could surprise for a second straight week.
25. Shedeur Sanders
Sanders broke out in week 14, so we'll see how he responds in week 15.
Chicago is a pretty favorable matchup for him, but in a tough outdoor environment, I'm not as high on Sanders.
26. Kirk Cousins
Cousins really struggled in week 14, but the chance to bounce back is there in week 15.
Tampa Bay is a top-five fantasy matchup for a QB, so we'll see if Cousins can take advantage of things.
27. Cameron Ward
Ward underwhelmed again in week 14.
His week 15 matchup against San Francisco is also above average, so I could see the rookie surprising a bit.
28. Tua Tagovailoa
Tagovailoa has been below 10 fantasy points in four of the past five games, and barely was above that mark in the other contest.
Pittsburgh is a favorable enough matchup for Tagovailoa to make some noise, but I just cannot trust him right now.
29. Bryce Young
Young's last showing was a stellar one against the Rams, but it continued an up-and-down trend he's had over the past four weeks.
New Orleans is a tougher matchup on paper. Young had 124 passing yards, six rushing yards, no touchdowns, a pick and a fumble in the last clash with the Saints.
30. Jets' Starter
I don't know who is going to start for the Jets, but they will rank here. Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields are the most likely starters, but Brady Cook might also start.
An above-average test against the Jaguars awaits whoever starts, but I don't trust any of them.
31. Geno Smith
Smith was banged up in week 14, so his status is worth watching. If he cannot go, Kenny Pickett would rank here too.
Philly is a below-average matchup for him, so I don't see Smith (or Pickett) faring well.
32. Colts' Starter
Another team where I have no clue who the starter is. With Daniel Jones done for the season, the most likely choice right now seems like Philip Rivers. Riley Leonard is the other option, and Brett Rypien could start too.
Whoever makes the start at QB has a tough matchup against the Seahawks, so I'm against starting the Colts' QB regardless of who it is.
