Doug Baldwin (Seattle Seahawks) vs Cleveland Browns: Baldwin has been absolutely incredible over the last few games. Baldwin has 8 touchdowns in the last 3 games alone. He also has amassed 321 yards in the last 3 games making him a true number 1 wide receiver. With the running game missing the Seahawks have relied on Russell Wilson to lead this offense and he has been ridiculously good at it. The Browns give up the 10 most points to wide receivers.

Jeremy Maclin (Kansas City Chiefs) at Baltimore Ravens: Maclin has had 3 touchdowns in the last 3 weeks. He averages at least 10 targets a game and this Baltimore Ravens secondary allows 101.3 quarterback rating to opposing QB's. The Ravens give up the 2nd most fantasy points to wide receivers and Maclin has caught fire towards the end of the season, he will be a solid start.

Michael Floyd (Arizona Cardinals) at Philadelphia Eagles: Floyd typically leads this offense in targets as he has become the true number 1 receiver for Carson Palmer. Floyd has over 100 yards receiving in 4 of his last 5 games and 6 touchdown catches in his last 7 games. The Eagles allow the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season so Floyd should have a feeding frenzy in week 15.

Sammy Watkins (Buffalo Bills) at Washington Redskins: Watkins has been on fire these past few games recording 348 yards in his last 3 contests. Watkins also has 4 touchdowns in his last 3 games making him a clear red zone target. The Redskins allow the 12th most fantasy points to wide receivers and has allowed 24 passing touchdowns this season. Watkins will be an excellent option for week 15.
