This is the time when overthinking vibes enter the picture if they haven’t already. In my weekly AMA and on our podcast TMAP, I get all kinds of questions about sitting an elite player for a way lesser one based on matchup. I get it, I really do. But getting too cute during the fantasy playoffs can ruin an entire season of consistent output and good decision-making.

Take a breath or two, and set this week’s lineup with a clear head and maybe a little less caffeine than normal.

Good Vibes

Quarterbacks

Baker Mayfield @ Cowboys

I’m not sure what deal Baker Mayfield made with the vibes’ Gods but he’s the QB5 through Week 15 in both fantasy points per contest and overall. This week he gets a Dallas defense that is 29th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed in 2024. He should provide nicely this week for those of you who have been profiting off of Mayfield’s renaissance.
