The fantasy football playoffs have arrived. That means every lineup decision carries real weight. Week 15 is a true crossroads moment. Win, and you advance toward glory. Lose, and your season ends with a thud. With bye weeks finally in the rear-view mirror, fantasy managers have access to all 32 NFL starting quarterbacks. Well, that means they can access at least those healthy enough to take the field.
Week 14 delivered major injuries and unexpected twists that will send many scrambling to the waiver wire. Whether you’re searching for a high-end QB1 to anchor your postseason push or a sleeper capable of delivering a surprise boost, our Week 15 quarterback rankings are here to help you survive and advance.
Before diving into the sleepers and matchups that could swing your playoff fortunes, here are the top quarterbacks entering Week 15 and the context shaping their fantasy value.
Drake Maye continues to reward fantasy football managers who trusted his upward trajectory. He enters Week 15 as one of the most compelling quarterback plays on the board. In the Patriots’ 33-15 win over the Giants, Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns. He controlled the game from the opening snap. His poise against New York’s aggressive front—taking just three sacks while maintaining efficiency. It was a testament to his maturity and command of the offense.
Maye has now thrown for at least 270 yards in four straight games. He keeps adding layers to the Patriots’ vertical attack. Coming out of a Week 14 bye well-rested, he draws a Buffalo defense that has fluctuated wildly in 2025. His accuracy is trending upward, and his confidence is growing. Maye profiles as a high-end QB1 capable of carrying fantasy teams deeper into the postseason.
Matthew Stafford is scorching hot at the perfect time for fantasy football managers. His 281-yard, three-touchdown demolition of the Cardinals in Week 14 was his seventh straight game with multiple touchdown passes. Stafford now sits at 35 touchdown passes on the season. That’s nearly 10 more than Dak Prescott and Jared Goff.
The Rams offense is flowing through Stafford’s surgically precise intermediate and deep passing. Also, his rapport with both Puka Nacua and Davante Adams remains one of the NFL’s most dangerous combinations. As if the matchup didn’t already favor him, Stafford now faces his former team: the Detroit Lions. Detroit’s secondary has struggled against accurate timing-based passers. That makes Stafford a near-elite fantasy option as the playoffs kick off.
Week 14 wasn’t Baker Mayfield’s sharpest performance. He finished with 122 passing yards, one touchdown, one interception, and 42 rushing yards in a loss to the Saints. Context, though, is critical. Mayfield battled through a shoulder sprain, worked behind a shaky offensive line, and still kept Tampa Bay competitive.
Now, the arrow is pointing up heading into Week 15....
