NFL Matchup Report: Week 15

Fantasy Football 2026

Our Weekly Matchup Report is here to help you build the best possible lineups. Each week, we list the ten teams that have the best matchups for QB/RB/WR/TE and the five that have the worst matchups. This list shows how defenses rank over the last FIVE weeks. I used to list the season-long rankings in this report, but I am not sure that was the most helpful. As the season progresses, defenses can get better or worse. Focusing on the most recent five games will be more relevant information for making your Start-Sit Decisions or building a team to win a DFS slate! So, here are the matchups to target or avoid in NFL Week 15.

REMINDER: Speaking of DFS. Do you want to play against our hosts and writers this year? Of course you do. Join our $2 contests by clicking the links below:
