Tonight, we have a Tuesday night football two-game slate. We have the Philadelphia Eagles taking on the Washington Football Team, along with the Los Angeles Rams taking on the Seattle Seahawks.
Information keeps changing, we do not know who will start at running back for the Los Angeles Rams, there are some players we are not 100% sure if they will play. Be sure you check out the news and Twitter for the latest updates on the slate right before lock.
In this article, I will be providing you with my Week 15 Tuesday daily fantasy football lineup picks for FanDuel and DraftKings. These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks. Please also check out our other great NFL DFS articles and NFL DFS tools to help you win big!
Jalen Hurts, QB - PHI vs WAS (DK: $6,500, FD: $8,200)
A bigger value on DraftKings than FanDuel, but I prefer Hurts on both sites. I like rostering quarterbacks with rushing ability as it provides a floor one can rely on and upside that other quarterbacks can only hit with the sheer volume of passes thrown. Hurts averages 57.92 rushing yards per game, which is on average nearly 5.8 fantasy points per game, something the other quarterbacks on the slate just don't have. On top of that, Washington has the No. 30 pass defense, allowing 259.1 passing yards per game.
At the time of this writing, Hurts is expected to play. If for some reason he is ruled out, then Matthew Stafford (DK: $6,700, FD:$8,500) is my favorite pivot. Seattle has the worst pass defense in the NFL, allowing 278.9 passing yards per game. The Rams are No. 9 in pass play percentage, passing on 61.41% of their plays.
Running Back looks difficult tonight. There are not really any amazing options, just go with the two running backs you are the most comfortable with. I am going with the two that I think will get the most carries and hope it all works out in the end.
Antonio Gibson RB - WAS @ PHI (DK: $6,800, FD: $7,400)
After Gibson was the failed chalk last week, here is back again at the top of the running back list. He is the most expensive running back on both sites and he is expected to have a large amount of volume with Washington potentially starting Garrett Gilbert tonight. Philadelphia has the No. 13 run defense in the league, but it is the third worst out of the four games playing on this slate.
Miles Sanders, RB - PHI vs. WAS (DK: $5,700, FD: $6,700)
Yes, Kenneth Gainwell and Jordan Howard are likely going to get touches in this game, but Sanders should get the bulk of the work tonight. Washington has a good run defense, however, I think Jalen Hurts starting gives another dimension for Washington to account for. If Howard plays, he will likely have the goalline touches. I am playing Sanders hoping for a floor with yards and maybe breaking one for a touchdown. I do not expect him to have another 24 carries this week like he did last week.
Also consider: whoever starts for the Rams. Seattle has the No. 21 run defense in the league. Sony Michel has been on fire, Darrell Henderson is expected to play too. My lean would be Michel but the Rams are keeping this close to the vest. I would monitor the news prior to lock to see if there is more information about how they will be used. The fear is things are split evenly between the two and they each score eight fantasy points.
Cooper Kupp, WR - LAR vs. SEA (DK: $8,800, FD: $9,500)
If you don't roster Cooper Kupp when he is on the slate, are you even DFS-ing? Kupp is averaging 114 receiving yards and 0.92 touchdowns per game. Seattle has the No. 32 pass defense in the league. He likely will be very chalky; it isn't difficult to get him in the lineup. At the same time, this is chalk to eat as if you miss out on him having a good performance you are paying the rake in your contest.
D.K. Metcalf, WR - SEA @ LAR (DK: $6,400, FD: $7,500)
It has been a down year for Metcalf and he was someone I was heavily invested in last week to only get 43 receiving yards against the lowly Texans. This week, Seattle will be down and will need to pass the ball. As long as he is healthy and priced below $7k on DraftKings, I am going to keep rostering Metcalf. The Rams just have the No. 23 pass defense in the league, so the opportunity will be there.
Terry McLaurin, WR - WAS @ PHI (DK: $6,500, FD: $7,300)
More of a GPP pick here. If Antonio Gibson is going to be the chalk running back of the slate, then I am going to consider rostering the passing game. Philadelphia has an average pass defense (No. 13 in the league) and McLaurin is such a stud that he is essentially matchup proof. I'm always going to roster one of the best Wide Receivers in the game in a lineup.
Also Consider: Odell Beckham Jr (LAR vs SEA) $4,900/$6,500, Van Jefferson (LAR vs SEA) $5,400/$6,400
Gerald Everett TE - SEA @ LAR (DK: $3,600, FD: $5,100)
On DraftKings, Gerald Everett is a no-brainer to me. I generally want to roster the cheapest tight end and pay up at other positions. He has caught a touchdown in two of the last three games, he faces his former team if you buy into the narrative street (I generally do not). If he catches a touchdown and the other tight ends do not, he has a chance to be the highest-scoring tight end on the slate. At the same time, he does not rack up many yards, he averages 26 per game, so he literally gives a floor of just three to four points which is tough.
Dallas Goedert TE - PHI vs. WAS (DK: $4,900, FD: $6,500)
Goedert is the safest play at tight end and provides the highest ceiling as well. He is the only one that has 100-yard receiving upside out of the tight ends on the slate. I wouldn't blame anyone for rostering Goedert on this slate if you can afford it.
I don't know about you, but I'm in awe of some of the games that have taken place this week. With a weekend full of tight matchups (I'm looking at you, Yankees and Rays), as well as a full slate of action on Memorial Day, more exciting times are ahead for the game of baseball!... Read More
Sometimes weeks go really well in fantasy baseball bullpens. Middle relievers get their strikeouts, setup men get their holds, and closers get their saves. No one gets hurt or blows games in dramatic fashion. This was not one of those weeks. A lot happened, and there's a lot to talk about. Injuries swept through bullpens... Read More

After another high-scoring slate last night it seems like the bats around the league are finally warming up.

Making the right trades can be crucial to championship success in fantasy baseball, almost as much as the draft, if not more. While most trades can have a significant impact on your fantasy team, it’s the deals where you acquire undervalued players and then see their production improve that can really tip the scales in...

Fantasy football leagues can be won in many different ways, but one way to certainly increase your chances is by finding players that go in the later rounds but end up breaking out. Of course, there is no shortage of content out there about players that can break out this season. There are already some... Read More
Few prospects were as polarizing as Malik Willis during the pre-draft process. With a cannon for an arm and blazing speed, Willis is one of the most exciting dual-threat quarterback prospects to arrive in the NFL since Lamar Jackson and Jalen Hurts. Some scouts had knocked him for losing out on a positional battle to... Read More
While touchdowns are the most coveted play outcome for wide receivers in fantasy football, total receiving yards must be taken into serious consideration when deciding who to draft for the position. It is true that receivers have to work harder to rack up yards, and that they don't have an overly great value at only... Read More
Injuries happen at all times of the year in football but sometimes unexpected events can also affect an NFL roster. Before training camp has even begun, the Arizona Cardinals have discovered they will be without their star wideout for nearly half the season. What happened with DeAndre Hopkins and what is the fantasy football impact... Read More
As soon as the NFL Draft winds down, dynasty leagues kick into action. Many rookie drafts have already begun and some, including FFPC leagues, have already wrapped up. There are plenty of other leagues that prefer to wait until rookie mini-camps end or training camps approach in order to have more time to prepare. That... Read More
Fantasy managers are no strangers to managing injuries and determining how to handle those injured and other players who are indirectly affected by that player's absence. That is, after all, a major component of football – injuries. They're always going to happen, they're absolutely unavoidable. However, typically fantasy managers aren't left with so many questions...

Once again, I am going to re-introduce the concept of ADP, which you may already be familiar with. Average Draft Position (ADP) indicates the average position where a player is drafted over more than one fantasy football draft. You can consider it as the price you have to pay to draft and get a player... Read More

Not only can you prove that the... Read More
Throwing a lot of touchdowns? Good! Throwing a lot of touchdowns at a rate that surpasses either your average level or the league average level? Good when it happens, but maybe not so good the next year, when you can come crashing back down to Earth. Not every quarterback is going to throw for Aaron... Read More
The Arizona Cardinals used their 55th pick in the 2022 NFL Draft on Trey McBride, tight end out of Colorado State. He was the consensus No. 1 tight end among draft experts and analysts and that's the way the actual draft played out, which from a fantasy perspective, is always a good thing. Fantasy managers,...

The New Orleans Saints have one of the most intriguing wide receiver rooms for fantasy heading into the 2022 season. None of their top three wide receivers suited up for the team last year. They added former Cleveland Brown Jarvis Landry, drafted Chris Olave of Ohio State with the No. 11 overall pick, and have... Read More
On the opening night of the NFL Draft, pins could be heard dropping all across the NFL landscape as the Tennessee Titans traded A.J. Brown to the Philadelphia Eagles for the rights to the 18th and 101st overall selections. Moments later, wide receiver Treylon Burks was chosen as his replacement. While it did come as... Read More
