Our DraftKings Week 15 lineup will feature a pair of rookies that receive generous merchandise on bad teams. However, Nico Collins and Amon-Ra St. Browns are sure-fire bets to outperform their modest price tags. Sure enough, Collins and St. Brown isn’t a “safe” daily fantasy football pick, but we’re building daily fantasy football lineups for GPP competitions, so we’re being cautious. The savings they offer allow us to include a couple of high-priced DFS studs that we’re excited about this week.
Before we break down our picks, here are the most notable scoring rules for DraftKings contests: Full point PPR, TDs pass four points, three point bonus for 100 yards, 100 yards receive, and 300 yards pass.

DraftKings Week 15 Picks: NFL DFS Lineups for GPP Tournaments
Main blocking vehicle Sunday, budget $50,000
QB Jalen Hurts, Eagles vs. Football Team ($6,600). The Hurts are scheduled to start Sunday after missing Week 13 with an ankle injury. For all the hands squeezing out his high level gem traits – or lack thereof – Matches are good for the fantasy. He’s scored at least 23.0 DraftKings points seven times, including twice eclipsing the 30-point plateau.
RB Joe Mixon, Bengals @ Broncos ($7,200). Mixon posed a patch for the Bengals, but he should still be seen as a dark horse, especially in a game against the Broncos where they would be favored. He was a timid performer in the late game – 10.4 and 8.8 DK in the last two games – but we saw him continue to play where he was a lock for 20 points. add. It’s fair to predict a performance other than that quality.
RB Antonio Gibson, Football Team @ Eagles ($6,000). This is a throwback for Gibson, who scored over 20.0 DK points in three of the four games that led to Week 14’s disappointing effort. The Soccer Team will enter the game as underdogs. , but scores don’t get out of hand – or quickly – as it did with the Cowboys Team last week.
WR Odell Beckham Jr., Rams vs Seahawks ($5,400). Beckham seems to be finding a more comfortable level in his new digs. He earned 10 goals in Week 12 and scored the goal in Weeks 12-14. Cooper Kupp remains the dominant force in this attack, but Beckham remains a dynamic and explosive player capable of delivering a big score on Sunday. The advantage is too tempting to surpass him at this modest price.
WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, Lions vs. Cardinals ($5,200). St. Brown has enjoyed his best two games as a pro in the past two weeks. He hit 12 goals in each competition and scored the first goal of his career in that span. Even when TJ Ho Chickenon (hand) returns, St. Brown seems to have become one of Jared Goff’s hunting targets.
WR Nico Collins, Texans @ Jaguars ($3,500). We’re going to roll a little dice with Collins here against a team of Jaguars floundering. Collins scored 10 goals last week, easily the best of his career and it would make sense for the team to design ways to feature him more in the passing attack opposite Brandin Cooks . Collins is turning heads in the camp, and he will likely earn a chance to do the same in the rest of Texas’ regular season competitions.
WEEK 15 STANDARD RATINGS:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
TE George Kittle, 49ers vs Falcons ($7,500). Kittle is pretty popular right now and no one can say anything bigger than the 79.7 DK he accumulated in Weeks 13-14. He’s scored 27 goals in that span, and while teams will adjust, trying to stop or slow a player is different from actually doing so. The Falcons will certainly try, but they have not yet proven exactly that they will be able to succeed in that area.
FLEX (RB) Myles Gaskin, Dolphins vs. Jets ($5,600). Gaskin was shortlisted for COVID/reserve while saying goodbye to the Dolphins’ Week 14, but he is expected to return on Sunday. He’s received a more consistent workload in recent weeks and as a result, more consistent scoring. He picks up 18.6 DK points from 26 encounters with the Jets in Week 11, and another strong start will be on the cards against the league’s 32nd-ranked defense per DVOA.
WEEK 15 PPR RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker
DEF Texans @ Jaguars ($2,800). No one will praise the Texans, but the Jaguar is simply an unsolvable disaster. Generally as bad as the Texans, they played better defensively by various performance metrics. We love the near-minimal price and love the upstream against a horrible team of Jags.
