A look at fantasy football happenings heading into Week 15:
Hot read
D.J. Hackett, WR, Seahawks: If you own injured Darrell Jackson and are looking for a replacement, just take a glance down the Seahawks’ depth chart. Hackett had four catches for 104 yards and a TD last week against the Cardinals and this week he could get plenty of opportunities against 49ers’ 24th-ranked pass defense at home.
Broken play(er)
Javon Walker, WR, Broncos: He hasn’t scored in the last four weeks and has just six catches for 69 yards in two games with rookie Jay Cutler at quarterback. However, Walker has a great matchup this week against the Cardinals’ 30th-ranked pass defense. Start Walker and look for him to break out of his slump.
Off the bench
Ahman Green, RB, Packers: Vikings backup Artose Pinner gashed the Lions for 125 yards and three TDs last week. Green gets his shot at the Lions’ 23rd-ranked rush defense this week.
Safe bet
Tony Romo, QB, Cowboys: Look for Romo to rebound from his second straight shaky outing. The Cowboys face the Falcons’ 31st-ranked pass defense, giving Romo a good shot to approach 250 yards and two touchdowns.
Extra point
In many leagues the playoffs have arrived or are in their second week. With a lot on the line, owners often overanalyze. Stick with the stud players that got you in the playoffs and don’t get cute.
