Jake Kumerow catches one pass in Week 15.

Kumerow gained five yards on his one reception against the Bears. Kumerow has upside as a dynasty-league hold, but he doesn’t need to be owned in redraft leagues heading into fantasy championship weeks.

Garrett Celek scores in win over the Seahawks.

Celek caught two passes for 61 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown in the first half. The 49ers consistently got the tight ends open against Seattle, and Celek was fortunate to find himself in open space for his catch-and-run to the end zone. The veteran can stay on the waiver wire in fantasy leagues.

Equanimeous St. Brown catches one pass against the Bears.

St. Brown gained seven yards on his lone reception in the Week 15 loss. The rookie receiver was open in the end zone, but Aaron Rodgers missed him with a throw that appeared too far to the inside. St. Brown isn’t a highly-recommended fantasy option heading into fantasy finals.

Ben Roethlisberger throws two touchdown in win over the Patriots.

Roethlisberger was 22/34 for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Steelers’ Week 15 victory at home. The first touchdown was on an out-and-in type of route for five yards to cap Pittsburgh’s opening drive, and he found Antonio Brown open down the seam for 17 yards in the second quarter. Roethlisberger’s first interception was an overthrow of JuJu Smith-Schuster, and the second was on a tipped pass intended for Brown that was deflected for a turnover. Overall, Big Ben did a good job of buying time and making some plays in what was surprisingly a defensive game against the Pats. Roethlisberger has big point potential when he heads to New Orleans to face the Saints next week, so he should be a strong QB1 option in the first week of fantasy championship games.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling catches one pass against the Bears.

Valdes-Scantling gained 12 yards on his lone reception in the Packers’ Week 15 loss. The rookie receiver hasn’t had more than two receptions in a game since Week 10, so he’s obviously difficult to trust in fantasy championship lineups.

Dante Pettis caught five passes for 83 yards in Sunday’s win over the Seahawks.

Pettis brought in all five of his targets as he led the team in receiving. The rookie has now gone for lines of 4/77/1, 5/129/2, 3/49/1, and 5/83 over the past four games, so he is fast-tracking towards low-end WR2 status. Plus, his dynasty stock is pointing up in Kyle Shanahan’s offense. We’ll see if Pettis can keep it going against Chicago next Sunday.

Lance Kendricks catches four passes against the Bears.

Kendricks gained 27 yards on his four Week 15 receptions. The veteran tight end is not a recommended fantasy option as the No. 2 tight end for the Packers.
