If you have Taysom Hill, Lamar Jackson, or Jalen Hurts as your starting quarterback in the Fantasy playoffs you should, at the very least, have a backup plan. And you may want to make your Plan B your Plan A.
On the surface, all three look like a must-start quarterback, but with injury concerns neither Hurts or Jackson can be counted on to be what they've been in the past. And Hill has been very fortunate two weeks in a row.
In Week 13 it took a 70-yard touchdown pass in garbage time (down 17, less than three minutes to go) to push Hill from 16 Fantasy points to 24. In Week 14 Hill needed a 44-yard touchdown run on 3rd and 12 with 1:15 to go in a two-score game.
In Week 15 Hill will face arguably the best defense he has yet, and definitely the best run defense. While there may be garbage time, and he could possibly pull it off again, there are too many good streaming options to have to count on that, especially in the Fantasy playoffs.
I would start Tua Tagovailoa, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Justin Fields over Hill. As for Jackosn and Hurts, I'm starting Tagovailoa over both of them but a decision on Garoppolo probably comes down to whether I need floor or ceiling this week. Garoppolo certainly has a higher ceiling than both, but he doesn't have much upside.
Let's get to the rest of the Week 15 preview:

Fields is still struggling as a passer, but there has been improvement. More importantly, he's using his legs more. He has at least eight rush attempts in each of his past four complete games. And the Vikings defense has not been very good at all lately.
As long as Allen's foot is okay by the end of the week, he's my No. 1 quarterback this week. He's the entire Bills offense right now and I would expect them to bounce back in a big way against the Panthers.
