Welcome to Week 15 of the fantasy football season and the start of most fantasy playoffs. With many weeks of data available, we can officially make more educated start/sit decisions and roster moves. Pay attention to injuries and how to set lineups to cover your risk and maximize your best players.
Every league is different — especially in the IDP world. These rankings are based on our fantasy scoring to help you adjust to your league while acknowledging that there will be some variations across different platforms. If you have any questions, join our free PFN Fantasy Discord and let us know.

Best IDP Players To Start in Week 15
Bobby Okereke, LB, New York Giants
Bobby Okereke has been a little worse the past couple of weeks, but don’t fear that when setting lineups. This week, Okereke and the Giants face a New Orleans Saints team that’s in the middle of the pack in points allowed to the LB position.

The Giants LB exceeded seven tackles in ten of the last eleven weeks before Monday’s six-tackle game. Fire him up in Week 15.
Azeez Al-Shaair, LB, Tennessee Titans
For a few weeks, Azeez Al-Shaair was losing some playing time, but he finally hit 100% of snaps in Week 14 again. Al-Shaair has now hit double-digit tackles in two straight games and six of his last nine. The Houston Texans matchup is strong, as they allow the fifth-most fantasy points to LBs. Al-Shaair is now a locked-and-loaded starter this week.
