NFL Survivor Picks Week 15: Washington Commands Attention Against Giants
Washington Commanders are coming off their bye week and host the New York Giants in the NFC East rematch. The Commander's are one of the top survivor picks for Week 15. Last week's losses for the Titans, Raiders, Seahawks and the 49ers hurt the chances of poolies.
Washington commands attention against Giants.
Carolina Panthers have won three of their past four games. They rank fourth in defensive DVOA. Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett is in concussion protocol. He could miss Sunday's game. Backups Mitch Trubisky and Mason Rudolph will get first-team reps in practice this week.
Desmond Ridder will start for the Atlanta Falcons against the New Orleans Saints. The Falcons are on a 1-4 slide and their defense is one of the worst in the league. New Saints cornerback Marshon Lattimore, linebacker Pete Werner and defensive end Cameron Jordan should be able to play after their bye week.
The Cleveland Browns play the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. It will be the first home start for quarterback Deshaun Watson. Backup quarterback Tyler Huntley is in the NFL's concussion protocols. The game will also be Huntly's first start in freezing temperatures.
Washington Commanders and New York Giants played each other in Week 13. Washington Commander won the game 20-20. New Giants lost 48-22 to the Philadelphia Eagles in the previous week.
The Minnesota Vikings are 10-3 and play the Indianapolis Colts (3-6) in a game that could be a bounce-back game for Minnesota after their 34-23 loss to the Detroit Lions last week.
The Los Angeles Chargers play the Tennessee Titans this week. Los Angles ranks 30th in run defense grade per PFF and allows the fourth-highest EPA per rush. Titans running back Derrick Henry is coming off his first 100-yard rushing game since Week 9. Tennessee has a three-game losing streak and grades ninth in the run offense per Pro Football Focus.
Washington beats New York Giants in Week 15.
