NFL Week 15 fantasy football rankings: Kyler Murray takes aim at Lions secondary
![Portrait of Steve Gardner](https://cdn.statically.io/img/www.usatoday.com/gcdn/-mm-/487dd4f32bbb9ad1228c3b85ca7d1fb6d56a8114/c=0-100-599-699/local/-/media/2018/12/11/USATODAY/USATODAY/636801427009785381-steve-gardner.png?width=48&height=48&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp)
The fantasy football postseason has arrived ... and with it, a disturbingly high number of COVID-19 cases. That will make setting lineups even more perilous than it would normally be when the stakes are this high.
We're keeping an eye on the latest developments and will continue to update the rankings. In the meantime, Kyler Murray looks like he's back to full health, and he has one of the best matchups of the week against the Detroit Lions (even if he won't have his top receiver).
Fantasy football rankings for Week 15 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by FantasySharks.com.
