It\u2019s the most important week of the season for fantasy football purposes, so it\u2019s important to know who you should and who you should sit. Below is a list of players to avoid if you want to potentially win your league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Taking The Points on Pats vs Colts? | BetOnline All Access | NFL Picks for Week 15\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CJd3uprWATQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Carson Wentz (QB) vs. New England Patriots<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indianapolis has won four of its last five games, but Carson Wentz is not playing well. In the Colts\u2019 last four games, he has only thrown for 180 yards or more one time, and he has only thrown more than one touchdown once too. Wentz is averaging just over 6.0 YPA in that stretch, and now he has to take on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">an elite New England defense<\/a>. The Patriots have a top three pass defense, allowing opponents to complete 58.6% of their passes for 5.9 YPA and lead the league in interception rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Miles Sanders (RB) vs. Washington Football Team<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miles Sanders is coming off his best performance of the season. He ran for 120 yards in the win over the New York Jets two weeks ago, and he has averaged 5.0 YPC or better in each of his last five starts. However, Sanders has been slowed by an ankle injury, and he has yet to run for a touchdown this season. This offense asks for Jalen Hurts to run the ball often, and if Gardner Minshew starts under center, he is likely to throw the ball more than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR) vs. Arizona Cardinals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve seen Amon-Ra St. Brown play very well for Detroit the last two weeks. St Brown has 18 receptions for 159 yards and a touchdown in that time, and he caught the game-winning touchdown in the Lions\u2019 lone win of the season. It\u2019s likely that St. Brown takes a back seat in his role this week though. T.J. Hockenson and D\u2019Andre Swift might both suit up for Detroit, and the Lions are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/sportsbook\/football\/nfl\">facing one of the fastest defenses<\/a> in the NFL in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Kyle Pitts (TE) at San Francisco 49ers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The top tight end in the 2021 NFL Draft was Kyle Pitts. The rookie was expected to be a revelation in Atlanta, and he is the leading receiver for the Falcons. Pitts hasn\u2019t been targeted more than seven times in a game in two months though, and he hasn\u2019t found the end zone since Week 5. San Francisco is superb at stopping tight ends, so Pitts could be in line for a poor outing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Seattle Seahawks (D\/ST) at Los Angeles Rams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most fortunate defense in the NFL this season has been Seattle. The Seahawks are fifth in scoring defense (20.2 PPG), but they rank dead last in total defense (394.9 YPG). They are allowing more passing yards than any other team in the league, and Matthew Stafford has the potential to torch this secondary even without Odell Beckham Jr. available for the Rams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Follow our\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\"><em>Twitter account\u00a0<\/em><\/a><em>for the latest sports news and wagering odds, and come to our\u00a0<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\"><em>Instagram<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0for more useful betting info too.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is either the first week of the fantasy playoffs or the last week of the regular season for almost&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":6708,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20428"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20428\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20436,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20428\/revisions\/20436"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6708"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=20428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=20428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
