Fantasy football: Top pick-ups and drops after Week 15

The Post’s Drew Loftis evaluates all the relevant fantasy football news ahead of Week 16 of the NFL season.

Title insurance

Drew Lock QB, Broncos

This serves as a reminder:💞 After Lock’s ♈big game in Week 14 against the Texans (23.9 fantasy points), we warned to steer clear this past week against the Chiefs. Hopefully you did (6.6 points). But if you made it to title week while streaming QBs, Lock is on the radar this week against the sorry Lions.

John Ross WR, Bengals

Has done virtually nothing in two games since his return from a foot injury, but chalk up one game to rust and the other uᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚp to a strong Patriots secondary. Any lingering rust will be gone for juicy matchup with the Dolphins.

Mike Boone RB, Vikings

Dalvin Cook left Sunday with a shoulder injury and Boone scored twice filling in. If Cook injury꧒ linger꧋s, and Alexander Mattison (ankle) is unable to return, Boone is playing vs. the Packers.

Mike Gesicki TE, Dolphins

He has at least five targets in seven straight games. Decent opꌍtion at a thin position.

Change the title

Raheem Mostert RB, 49ers

Don’t cut him, but find an alternative in your lineup this week.ꦉ Expecting the Rams to play angry this wee🐟k. They put the clamps on Tevin Coleman in Week 6 (2.5 yards per carry).

Anthony Miller WR, Bears

Five strai✅ght double-digit fantasy games, including a season-best 26.8 PPR point🍃s against the Packers. Plan on finding an alternative this week, when he faces a Chiefs defense that is second-toughest against WRs.

John Brown WR, Bills

The only defense stingier than the Chiefs against receivers is the Patriots. Have another option ready to 𓃲go.

Kenny Stills WR, Texans

Caught two TDs on Sunday and has ripe matchup against the Buccaneers this week. But he received just three targets, which is the norm in games when Will Fuller is healthy. Don’t put yourꦛ tiꦏtle hopes on three targets.
