Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty could handle increased volume in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, and he should benefit from this favorable matchup against a below-average run defense. The Raiders will be starting quarterback Kenny Pickett over Geno Smith (back, shoulder) this week, and this quarterback downgrade could prompt Las Vegas to throw the ball less and run the ball more. It could also lead to more checkdowns and fewer passes deep downfield. All of this bodes well for Jeanty, who is averaging 14.7 carries and 3.5 catches per game while ranking as the overall RB14 in PPR leagues. Not only do we think he could handle more than 20 touches in an offensive game plan centered around rushing attempts and short passes, but Jeanty should also benefit from a favorable matchup. Philadelphia has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points, fifth-most receiving yards, and second-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2025. This promising opportunity gives Jeanty top-12 running back upside for Week 15.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden has seen his production seriously limited over the past two weeks, and he caught only one pass for seven yards on four targets in the team's overtime win against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night. He faces a tough Week 15 matchup against a Kansas City Chiefs defense that ranks in the top five against the tight end position, allowing just three touchdowns all season. Gadsden is dealing with a perfect storm of issues: an injured quarterback in Justin Herbert, the league's worst offensive line, a pass-averse game plan, and an elite defense against his position. Although he is still getting targets (second on the team last week), the quality of those targets has decreased. RotoBaller drops Gadsden to TE24 this week. He has little ceiling and a low floor, so Gadsden should probably stay on your bench this week.

Although Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates saw his streak of four straight games without a missed field goal come to an end in Week 14, he still knocked in three out of four field goal attempts and all five of his extra point tries in Detroit's win over the Dallas Cowboys. Bates remains the current NFL leader in both extra-point attempts (47) and makes (45) through 14 weeks. In Week 15, the Lions will travel to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. The Lions and Rams enter the week as two of the NFL's top teams in points per game, so this game could have shootout potential. Additionally, playing indoors at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium eliminates any potential issues Bates might have with the weather. Fantasy managers can view Bates as a must-start fantasy kicker in Week 15.

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is on a hot streak heading into Week 15 after leading the team in scoring last week by making all five of his field goal attempts, including a 54-yard kick. He faces a road game against the Kansas City Chiefs, where the total is only 42.5 points, reflecting the recent trend of unders in Chiefs games. Although this low total is why RotoBaller ranks Dicker as K10, his strong performance in a run-focused, stalled-drive environment (due to quarterback Justin Herbert's injured hand) suggests he will likely get more chances for long field goals. The Chargers' potential difficulty scoring in this game keeps Dicker highly valuable. Fantasy managers should trust his leg and consistency, considering Dicker a high-end K1 for this week.
