Below you will find our picks for FlurrySports fantasy football start ’em, sit ’em for wide receivers in Week 15! No matter what, good luck this week!

Fantasy Football Start ’em, Sit ’em: Week 15 WRs
Start: Davante Adams Fantasy Outlook vs Jacksonville Jaguars
The 31-year-old pass catcher will be a start for us this week. How this guy is so low on the FantasyPros ECR for this week is very surprising, to say the least, but that’s why FlurrySports ranks in the top five for fantasy football rankings this season. Adams is still a prime receiver in the NFL. He hasn’t had a game under nine points since Week 7 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Aaron Rodgers has proven time and again that his favorite target is Adams, so he will continue to look for him downfield.
The New York Jets will head south to play against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars played the Tennesee Titans’ top receiver well. Calvin Ridley totaled seven catches for 59 yards (12.9 points). Despite that, the Jags still give up the fourth-most points to receivers. Davante Adams should be able to take full advantage of the Jags defense. Start him.
Start: DJ Moore Fantasy Outlook vs Minnesota Vikings
Another receiver who is ranked lower than he should be is DJ Moore. The Bears’ star receiver gashed the Minnesota defense three weeks ago to the tune of seven receptions for 107 yards, a TD and a two-point conversion. Moore has come down a bit since then, but not by much. Caleb Williams has continued to use Moore and that won’t stop this week.
The Minnesota Vikings defense has been abysmal this season at covering wideouts. The Vikings give up the most points to receivers this season. In their last four games, eight wideouts have scored over 10 points and three have scored over 20 (which includes Moore). DJ Moore should be in your lineups.

Sit: Marvin Harrison Jr. Fantasy Outlook vs New England Patriots
The rookie pass catcher for Arizona will be a sit for us. Marvin Harrison Jr. has had a roller-coaster season. In the last three weeks, he has been bad, mediocre and bad again. Against Seattle, he was WR49. Against the Vikings, he was WR21. Then, against Seattle, he reverted back to WR41. There are other better options to start than MHJ.
Harrison will face off against Christian Gonzalez and the New England Patriots. The Patriots give up the 12th-most fantasy points to wideouts. Before the bye, Gonzalez was able to stifle Michael Pittman, Tyreek Hill, DJ Moore and Davante Adams in the previous five games. With an extra week to prepare for Harrison, the Patriots should be ready for him. Leave Harrison on your bench.
Sit: Brian Thomas Jr. Fantasy Outlook vs New York Jets
If you followed me last week in not starting this guy, my apologies. However, this week is still the same story and the matchup is tougher. Brian Thomas Jr. will still have Mac Jones under center this week with Trevor Lawrence on Injured Reserve. Thomas was able to go for 16.6 fantasy points last week against the Tennesee Titans. This week, the defense takes a step up.
The New York Jets defense has been great at putting the clamps on opposing receivers. The Jets have given up the second-fewest points to wideouts. The Jets trio of Michael Carter II, DJ Reed and Sauce Gardner have done a great job at covering receivers and this week should be no different. Sit Thomas this week.
