Welcome to our Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings for Week 15 of the 2019 NFL regular season. This week we examine whether Tennessee Titans rookie AJ Brown can build off of his breakout performance a week ago.

Plus, a devastating injury to one of the league’s very best at the position could not have occurred at a worse time for fantasy owners looking to make their final championship push.

Reminder: These rankings are based on full-PPR scoring formats.

Wide Receiver Outlook Week 15

AJ Brown (WR28) exploded against the Oakland Raiders in Week 14 to the tune of 153 yards, two touchdowns, and 33.6 fantasy points, the second-highest scoring total by a wideout for the week.

Brown has now recorded 135 receiving yards or more in two of his last three games, and his connection with Ryan Tannehill continues to blossom.

This week, Brown will face off with a Houston Texans defense who, while overall have struggled to defend the pass, have not been overly welcoming to wideouts’ fantasy production over recent weeks. Houston has held all but one WR to 46 yards or fewer since their Week 10 bye.

With that said, it’s extremely difficult to bet against Ryan Tannehill at the moment. Plus, Brown owns the majority share of the Titans passing targets. That should be good enough to make him a low-end WR2/FLEX starter this Sunday.

Mike Evans (WR5) suffered a hamstring injury on what was a 61-yard touchdown reception this past Sunday. While the play saved his fantasy stats for Week 14, it’ll likely destroy any possibility of Evans being in your Week 15 lineup. The Bucs have already all but proclaimed him out moving forward.

No Evans means Chris Godwin (WR3) becomes even more of a rock-solid WR1 in Week 15. While Justin Watson (WR78) and Breshad Perriman (WR88) have sneaky sleeper appeal against the seventh-worst fantasy unit at defending WRs this season in the Detroit Lions.
