In the fantasy playoffs, each start/sit decision becomes more crucial. In this article, I’ll be covering a handful of players that I believe will either exceed expectations or let your team down in a major way. Here’s who you should be looking at for Week 15.
Amidst a total sports shutdown, bettors everywhere are embracing whatever they can get their hands on to keep them entertained during these times. Fortunately, the NFL’s offseason has whetted many sports fans’ appetites. Meanwhile, the NFL Draft is still slated to proceed as planned on April 23; not only is it a blast to see the culmination of these young men’s journeys, but it’s an exciting opportunity to place some fun prop bets as well.

Not that I planned it this way, but we might as well start at the beginning. In what was the 2012 fantasy championships for most leagues, a rookie Kuechly served his owners well against the Raiders. Kuechly notched nine solo tackles, four assisted tackles, a tackle for loss, two passes defended, and the interception below off of Matt Leinart. That interception could be what won the Panthers the game as well. It led to a Carolina touchdown before halftime, in a game that ended 17-6.

Higbee is the poster child for this article. In the first eight weeks, he played in seven games, recording just 18 receptions on 23 targets for 170 yards and a touchdown. This made him utterly irrelevant in fantasy. However, over the final eight games, Higbee totaled 51 receptions on 66 targets for 564 yards and two touchdowns. He averaged 11.7 points in half PPR scoring over that stretch, good for sixth-best among all tight ends. Let’s get some more context. Over a full season, Higbee’s second-half pace was 102 receptions, 1128 yards, and four touchdowns. These numbers project him as a dominant TE1.
The IDP world is always changing and owners need to keep their eyes open for value. Last year the Giants invested a third round pick in former UCLA defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa. He came into the league a bit banged up and ended his rookie season quite early on injured reserve with a foot injury, although the Giants called it a hamstring issue. There is something of great value there buried behind a newly beefed up New York defensive line. I decided to re-review five of his 2014 collegiate games against Virginia, USC, Utah, Texas, and Arizona State, and it was clear this Giant has the skill set to wreak havoc in the NFC East and beyond. Here are my thoughts: DE – Owamagbe Odighizuwa, NY Giant formerly of UCLA 6’ 3” 267 lbs. Cons: Although, the aftermath did not show on the game tape I viewed, the former Bruin had hip surgeries in 2013, which caused him to miss that entire year. This injury may have affected his last season’s performance and might sap his fluidity. Once Odighizuwa comes out of his stance in pass rushing situations, he can get tunnel vision on the quarterback and tends to over pursue, while getting much too high, letting blockers into his body. Pros: The Giant defensive lineman lined up at both defensive end spots and occasionally kicked inside to defensive tackle. He mostly used a four-point stance off the line of scrimmage, but sometimes would stand up like a linebacker near the line. Odighizuwa has a quick first step and gets great

Every so often a player comes along who could have played a few decades ago, old school as it were; that guy is former Bama backer Reggie Ragland. His physical, no-nonsense style translates to the modern-day smash mouth defense that the Ryan brother like to run. I reviewed his 2015 performances against Wisconsin, Georgia, Texas A&M, Clemson, and his Senior Bowl game and practices to get a better understanding of the skill set this young backer will bring to the Bills. This is what I saw: LB – Reggie Ragland, Buffalo formerly Alabama 6′ 1″ 247 lbs. Cons: Although, the former Crimson Tide member varied where he lined up, this defender is an inside backer in the NFL. He is not a fluid athlete and possesses limited quickness and speed. Ragland, at times, has a bad habit of trying to take on multiple blockers and will get overpowered, instead of taking a more direct angle. The backer is more of a true thumper at heart and will struggle if forced into man to man coverage. This is because he is clunky, mirroring looser hipped play makers. As it stands today, I have my doubts Ragland will be a three down linebacker, but you never know with those wiley Ryans’ in charge. Pros: Despite some limitations, the backer is quite athletic with great balance. He sees the entire field well and is very instinctive with amazing football intelligence. Ragland steps up to take on blockers and can quickly disengage them with a strong, powerful punch, then flows to the ball carrier. The
