Week 15 is here, and it brings with it the fantasy playoffs for most. If you’re in need of a victory, you’re likely keeping an eye on all the games. This Thursday matchup brings some fantasy relevant players as we get the clash between the Chargers and Raiders. These division foes are fighting to stay out of the AFC West basement at this point.

The Chargers are also breaking in a new quarterback in Easton Stick. Justin Herbert broke a finger on his throwing hand in Week 14 and will have surgery, ending his season. That’s a blow for the Chargers, especially on the road on a short week. The Raiders, meanwhile, are just hoping to score some points this week. Likely, if you roster Raiders players, you’re hoping that too.

For fantasy, for the Chargers, Keenan Allen has been ruled out. He’s the team’s best receiver, but with Joshua Palmer tracking to return, he’d be the only other receiver I’d trust as a flex. Tight End Gerald Everett is a TE2 for me. In the backfield, Austin Ekeler is still a start, but a low-end RB2 unfortunately. I’m not bullish on playing Stick at this point.

For the Raiders, Aidan O’Connell is a low-end QB2 for me, while Josh Jacobs is an RB2 option with RB1 upside. He’s been slowed with injury, so pay attention in case he is forced to miss. Davante Adams is the top Raiders’ receiver, and he’s a low-end WR1 for me. I like Jakobi Myers as a WR3, while Michael Mayer is a TE2.

Now, on to the Week 15 picks.
