Five quarterbacks racked up at least 300 passing yards in Week 15. The most impressive stat line came from Trevor Lawrence, who threw for 330 yards and five touchdowns, while also adding a rushing score. He led the week with 44.3 fantasy points. A distant second was Bo Nix with 29.1 fantasy points.

Week 16 brings a different type of schedule with two games being played on Saturday. There are still important decisions to be made as fantasy managers push for a championship. The good news is, there are some great quarterback streaming options for those who need help at the position.

For streaming purposes, 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) is a metric we rely heavily on to determine weekly matchup strength. As the season progresses and more data is available, aFPA becomes more and more reliable, using rolling 10-week data.

To provide advice you can implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

Week 15 Recap

Our best performer from last week’s column was Kirk Cousins, who finished as QB3. He led the Falcons to an upset win over the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, throwing for 373 yards and three touchdowns. Another big winner was J.J. McCarthy, who posted three total touchdowns in a victory against the Cowboys.

The lone disappointment from Week 15 was Shedeur Sanders, who threw three interceptions in a lopsided loss to the Bears. That matched his total from his first four starts combined. He also failed to record a touchdown after racking up four of them the week prior against the Titans.
