Carson Palmer (Arizona Cardinals) at Philadelphia Eagles: Palmer is pretty much the matchup proof quarterback. He has multiple touchdowns over the past few weeks and rarely has a game where he throws for less than 300 yards. Palmer is a facing a defense that allows the 3rd most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season  and Palmer has 11 touchdowns in his last 5 games.

Russell Wilson (Seattle Seahawks) vs Cleveland Browns: Wilson has been the Seahawks offense for the last few weeks. Without Thomas Rawls the only Seattle can do with precision is to throw the ball with Wilson. Wilson has been the primary playmaker of this offense but he has been helped out by his partner in crime Doug Baldwin who has amassed a ridiculous amount of touchdowns in such a short span of time. Wilson has had more than 2 touchdowns in the last 4 games and has also thrown for 250 plus yards in that same time frame. Wilson is one of the best starts of week 15.

Blake Bortles (Jacksonville Jaguars) vs Atlanta Falcons: Bortles has had 10 touchdowns in the last 3 weeks. Atlanta may be tough against quarterbacks but they have let their season slip out of their hands so why would they suddenly step up to take on the red hot Jaguars. The Jaguars did just register their first 50 plus point win in franchise history so this is an offense that can put up points something the Falcons have failed to do week in and week out. Bortles should continue his multiple touchdown streak against this secondary.

Cam Newton (Carolina Panthers) at New York Giants: How can you not believe in Cam Newton at this point. Newton has put up a ridiculous amount of fantasy points every week. He has had 8 touchdowns in two weeks and 13 in four so far this season. He can get into the end zone with his legs and can in multiple ways. With Newton this hot he is a must start.
