NFL Fantasy Football Week 15 Preview

NFL Fantasy Football Week 15 Preview

Expert Insights & Matchups

The fantasy football playoffs are here — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. With Week 15 kicking off, NFL Pro has released in-depth analytics and matchup insights to help fantasy managers make smarter decisions. From Derrick Henry’s December dominance to Jordan Love’s uphill battle in Denver, here are the most crucial takeaways you need for a winning lineup.

1. Derrick Henry’s December Surge — Bengals Beware

Derrick Henry continues to prove that December is his season. Half of his six biggest career games have come this month, and the numbers back his case for Week 15 dominance. The Bengals rank 31st in run defense and have allowed the most fantasy points to running backs all year (30.8 PPG).

Henry’s 493 rushing yards after contact since Week 7 are third-most in the NFL. Facing sub-freezing temperatures in Cincinnati, Henry could be poised for his best fantasy performance of the season.

Fantasy Outlook: Henry is an elite start across all formats — DFS players should build around him this week.

2. Drake Maye vs. Bills — Go Deep or Go Home

Rookie sensation Drake Maye faces one of his toughest challenges yet as the Patriots meet the Bills in a high-stakes AFC East showdown. When these teams last met, Maye posted just 12 fantasy points with no touchdowns — but this time could be different. The Bills rank 23rd against deep passes, while New England leads the league in deep-ball efficiency.

Expect Maye to test Buffalo’s secondary with aggressive throws to Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas, both of whom are attractive sleeper picks for playoff managers.

3. Jordan Love vs. Denver’s Defense — Proceed with Caution

The Packers’ No.1 passing offense will be tested this week by the Broncos’ elite secondary. Denver ranks fourth in defensive efficiency and has held most quarterbacks under 16 fantasy points — including Mahomes and Prescott. Love has struggled mightily versus top-12 defenses this season, averaging just nine points in those games.

Even Christian Watson may be a risky play outside of deep leagues, making this a matchup to avoid for most fantasy owners.

4. Lions’ RB Duo vs. Rams Defense — Clash of Titans

Detroit’s backfield duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery has combined for 23 touchdowns this season, but they’ll face a daunting challenge against the Rams’ top-tier run defense. Los Angeles allows the fewest rushing touchdowns in the league and ranks second in red-zone efficiency defense.

While Gibbs remains a must-start due to receiving upside, Montgomery is best left on the bench in standard formats. Expect more passing-heavy game scripts for Detroit this week.

📊 Week 15 Fantasy Takeaways

• Top Start: Derrick Henry (RB, BAL)
• QB to Stream: Drake Maye (QB, NE)
• Avoid: Jordan Love (QB, GB) vs DEN
• Sleeper Pick: Demario Douglas (WR, NE)

Game Outlook

Both teams have strong defensive lines — Atlanta ranks 3rd in sacks, while Seattle is right behind at 4th. Expect a physical, low-scoring first half followed by explosive plays late in the game.

Playoff Picture Impact

With a 9–3 record, the Seahawks are fighting to keep pace in the NFC West behind San Francisco. A win in Atlanta could lock them into playoff contention. The Falcons, at 4–8, are looking to evaluate young talent and end the season strong under head coach Raheem Morris.

Predictions & Analysis

Analysts expect Seattle’s offense to eventually outpace Atlanta’s. ESPN gives the Seahawks a 74% chance to win, projecting a final score of Seattle 27 – Atlanta 17. The Falcons’ defense will make it competitive, but Darnold’s chemistry with Smith-Njigba may be too much to handle.

Ohio State vs Indiana: Battle for the 2025 Big Ten Championship

Ohio State vs Indiana: A Historic Big

Ten Championship Clash

The 2025 Big Ten Championship will make history as the first title game in more than a decade — and just the third ever — to feature the top two ranked teams in the nation. No. 1 Ohio State and No. 2 Indiana are both undefeated, both playoff-bound, and both ready to battle for conference supremacy under the lights at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

Two Programs, Two Stories

For Ohio State, this game represents a return to dominance. For Indiana, it’s the pinnacle of a program renaissance decades in the making. The Buckeyes (12–0) are chasing their first Big Ten title in five years, while the Hoosiers (12–0) are aiming for their first since 1967.

Head coach Curt Cignetti has guided Indiana from obscurity to national relevance in just two seasons. “A year late,” Cignetti joked after the Hoosiers clinched their spot by routing Purdue. “We’ve earned this. A Big Ten championship means an awful lot.”

Ohio State: Legacy Meets Opportunity

The Buckeyes’ football pedigree is unmatched — eight national titles, over 990 program wins, and a legacy stretching back to the 1930s. But despite their dominance, Ohio State hasn’t won a Big Ten Championship since 2020. Four straight losses to Michigan had cast doubt on their era of control — until last week’s revenge victory reignited the dynasty narrative.

All-American safety Caleb Downs summed up the mood: “We’ve put ourselves in the position we wanted. Now it’s time to finish.”

Indiana: From Underdog to Unstoppable

Indiana’s rise is one of college football’s most remarkable stories. Long labeled as the FBS’s “losingest” program, the Hoosiers have rewritten their history in 2025 — going unbeaten for the first time ever and earning national respect. Their balanced attack and resilient defense have silenced critics and energized a fan base starving for success.

“We fell short in big moments last year,” linebacker Aiden Fisher recalled. “This year, there’s no doubt. We walk in every game expecting to win.”

The Hoosiers feature one of the nation’s most efficient quarterbacks, Fernando Mendoza, whose composure and accuracy have transformed Indiana’s offense into a top-15 unit nationally. On the other sideline stands Ohio State’s Julian Sayin — another Heisman Trophy contender. Saturday’s showdown could decide college football’s most prestigious individual award.

The Coaches: Experience vs. Evolution

For Cignetti, this isn’t uncharted territory. He was part of Nick Saban’s Alabama staff during back-to-back SEC title clashes between Florida and Alabama in 2008 and 2009. He knows what it takes to win on this stage. Across the field, Ryan Day of Ohio State leads with a cool hand — but faces immense pressure to deliver after years of heartbreak in December.

Adding to the intrigue, Buckeyes offensive coordinator Brian Hartline accepted the head coaching job at South Florida earlier this week — but will remain with the team through the playoffs. “The timing isn’t ideal,” Day said, “but we’re embracing it. He’s earned this opportunity.”

Numbers That Tell the Story

• Ohio State: 12–0 overall, ranked No. 1 nationally
• Indiana: 12–0, first perfect season in program history
• Both teams: Top 15 in scoring offense, Top 3 in scoring defense
• Heisman hopefuls: Julian Sayin (OSU), Fernando Mendoza (IU)
• Game location: Lucas Oil Stadium, Indianapolis

Both teams have already secured College Football Playoff spots, but Saturday’s game carries massive implications for seeding — and bragging rights. The winner will likely earn a first-round bye in the new 12-team playoff format.

More Than a Game

The Big Ten title game caps a historic Saturday in Indiana sports. Alongside the football matchup, top-ranked Purdue hosted No. 10 Iowa State in men’s basketball, while No. 22 Indiana faced No. 6 Louisville — turning Indianapolis into the epicenter of college athletics.

But all eyes will be on Lucas Oil Stadium, where two undefeated teams, two fan bases, and two Heisman candidates collide for glory.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the 2025 Big Ten Championship Game?

The game will be played on Saturday, December 6, 2025, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Who are the quarterbacks to watch?

Ohio State’s Julian Sayin and Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza — both Heisman contenders and among the nation’s most efficient passers.

What’s at stake?

Beyond the Big Ten crown, the winner is expected to secure the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff.

Chicago Bears’ Cultural Rebirth Under Coach Ben Johnson

The Chicago Bears’ Winning Revival:

How Ben Johnson Became “The Man of

the People”

Just one year after being considered a franchise in disarray, the Chicago Bears are back — and it’s thanks, in no small part, to a head coach who’s become something of a folk hero. Ben Johnson, the 39-year-old first-year coach, has transformed the Bears’ locker room, their game plan, and even their cultural identity.

A Viral Celebration and 2,000 Free Hot Dogs

After a 24–15 Thanksgiving weekend victory over the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, Johnson ripped off his shirt in the locker room, roaring in celebration. The moment went viral across social media — not just because of his intensity, but because it triggered a promise made by The Wiener’s Circle, a famous Chicago hot dog stand: free hot dogs for the city if the coach ever went shirtless after a win.

True to their word, they served over 2,000 free hot dogs the next day. Fans lined up in freezing weather — not for the food, but for the symbol. For the first time in years, Chicago had something to celebrate.

From Rock Bottom to First Place

A year ago, the Bears finished last in the NFC North. Today, they lead the division with a 9–3 record. Their offense, ranked 28th in 2024, now sits at eighth in the league. Their defense remains inconsistent, but their energy is undeniable.

“We’re winning in spite of our passing game,” Johnson joked, before clarifying that he still fully supports his quarterback, Caleb Williams. The rookie-turned-leader has guided multiple fourth-quarter comebacks this season, proving resilient under pressure.

Building a Culture, Not Just a Game Plan

Johnson’s influence extends beyond tactics. He’s reshaped how the Bears see themselves — instilling a sense of accountability, belief, and fearlessness. ESPN reported earlier this season that under Johnson, the team’s “buy-in and culture feel different.”

“I think anytime you get a chance to feed the city, you want to do it,” Johnson said in his Monday press conference. “Man of the people.”

That humility resonates deeply in Chicago — a city built on hard work and loyalty. Johnson has become a symbol of that ethos: unpolished, authentic, and fiercely competitive. It’s no wonder fans see him as one of their own.

The Stats Behind the Story

• Record: 9–3 (First in NFC North)
• Offensive Ranking: 8th overall (up from 28th in 2024)
• Rushing Offense: 2nd in NFL
• Turnover Margin: +9 (1st in NFC)
• Defensive Takeaways: League-best 23

Though their point differential (+6) suggests the Bears aren’t a dominant team yet, their resilience and composure have set them apart. They’ve won five straight, including two comeback victories in the fourth quarter.

Caleb Williams: Progress in Real Time

Williams, last year’s No. 1 overall draft pick, has shown uneven progress. He ranks near the bottom of the league in completion percentage but leads all second-year quarterbacks in fourth-quarter touchdowns. Johnson has adjusted his play-calling to favor Williams’ athleticism — emphasizing movement, rollouts, and ball security.

“He’s learning,” Johnson said. “We’re growing as a team — together.”

More Than Football: The Return of Chicago’s Identity

In many ways, Johnson’s Bears embody Chicago itself — gritty, passionate, flawed, but full of heart. The team that once symbolized frustration now stands for revival. Fans who had long tuned out are tuning back in. Social media is filled with the hashtag #BearDownForBen, a nod to their coach’s emotional connection with the city.

Can the Bears Sustain Their Momentum?

Chicago faces two matchups against the Green Bay Packers in the next three weeks — a rivalry that could decide the NFC North title. Analysts remain divided: are the Bears lucky, or are they clutch? Johnson insists it doesn’t matter.

“You earn every win,” Johnson said. “Luck doesn’t call plays. Belief does.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Ben Johnson?

Ben Johnson is the first-year head coach of the Chicago Bears, previously serving as offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Known for his creativity and leadership, he’s credited with turning the Bears into contenders.

Why is he called “Man of the People”?

After a viral shirtless celebration following a big win, Johnson jokingly referred to himself as a “man of the people.” Fans and media have since embraced the nickname.

Are the Bears playoff-bound?

At 9–3 and leading the NFC North, Chicago is projected to make the playoffs for the first time since 2020.
