The playoffs are here, at least across the fantasy landscape -- most of it, anyway. Heck, some of you eager beavers may already be a week into the fantasy playoffs. Whether you're still fighting, in it to win it, or playing for anything from third to seventh place, we'll walk you through all the latest tidbits as they pertain to the wide receivers in week 15. We'll look at matchups, injuries, and sleepers to keep an eye on as we close in on the most important two (or three) weeks of the year. Here are your week 15 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.
Remember: an asterisk (*) next to a player's name denotes a possible injury concern for that player.
Week 15 Wide Receiver Rankings 1-10
1. Odell Beckham Jr. vs CAR- You can't ever go wrong with OBJ. Tough matchup with Josh Norman, but you know what they say about fantasy football studs, especially this time of the year: ride them.
2. Antonio Brown vs DEN- Tough matchup, but let's face it: you don't ever not feel confident in Antonio Brown. Likely headed for another double-digit dose of targets.
3. Brandon Marshall @ DAL- This is the highest we've had Marshall in our rankings all year. Great matchup at Dallas. Marshall has scored in 6 straight games, seen double-digit targets in 5 straight, and topped 100 yards in 4 straight.
4. Julio Jones @ JAX- The Falcons' once promising 2015 season has spun completely out of control, but Julio is still an elite weekly play.
5. DeAndre Hopkins @ IND- Hopkins has looked human as of late, but with a huge game on deck in week 15, it's likely Houston will be leaning on him as much as ever. Ride Nuk with confidence in week 15.
6. Alshon Jeffery @ MIN- Jeffery is the main man in Chicago's aerial attack with Eddie Royal gimpy, Marquess Wilson (foot) done for the year, and Martellus Bennett (ribs) also out for the season. He'll be peppered with a plethora of targets against Minny.
7. Calvin Johnson @ NO- Megatron is playing the Saints. We could stop right there, but we'll keep it real. The Saints looked much better defensively against Tampa Bay in week 14. Mega will see plenty of the underrated Delvin Breaux, but you still have to like his odds of producing, especially if New Orleans dares put Brandon Browner on him. Golden Tate is also a strong play against the Saints.
8. Larry Fitzgerald @ PHI- The Eagles have been better of late, but Fitzy and the Cards are a different animal. Fitzgerald is a strong WR1 play this week. He should have himself a day in the slot.
9. Allen Robinson vs ATL- A-Rob looked like a human being in week 14 with just a single catch for 4 yards. Fortunately for his owners, it was a touchdown. Look for a major bounceback against the reeling Falcons in week 15.
10. A.J. Green @ SF- Andy Dalton's untimely injury is a tough break, but this is A.J. Green. Keep riding him into the next round of the playoffs, regardless of your confidence in A.J. McCarron. The Niners are a mess, and Green should have playmaking opportunities galore.

Week 15 Wide Receiver Sleepers
James Jones @ OAK- Hashtag revenge game. Jones returns to Oakland, where it didn't quite work out for him in silver and black. He also seems due for one of his outbursts.
Andre Johnson vs HOU- Big game for Indy and another #RevengeGame for Andre. Andrew Luck is on the way back, and Andre is still at least seeing some targets. Johnson played well against his former club in the first meeting between these two teams earlier in the season with a 6/77/2 line.
Cecil Shorts III @ IND-Huge game in the AFC South race. Shorts' unique skill set could come in handy on trick plays -- a staple in these types of games. Bill O'Brien has shown he isn't afraid to mix it up, and Shorts is a weapon.
Adam Humphries @ STL- A coach's and fan's favorite, Humphries scored in week 14 and may have a bigger role with Vincent Jackson (knee) gimpy once again.
Lance Moore @ NO- If he plays, he gets a revenge game against a team that struggles all over the field defensively. Moore has made some timely plays for Detroit this season when he's been on the field.
Golden Tate @ NO- Megatron is the big name, but Tate may have a better chance to carve up the Saints' secondary.
Taylor Gabriel @ SEA- Someone's got to play wideout for Cleveland. Travis Benjamin will be out there, but Andrew Hawkins (concussion) could miss the rest of the year along with Brian Hartline (collarbone). There's even a chance Dwayne Bowe may slide back into fantasy relevance. No Cleveland wideout is a particularly highly-recommended play at Seattle, but Gabriel (concussion) looks on track to play after returning to practice last week. Monitor this situation if you're desperate.
Week 15 Wide Receiver Injuries to Monitor
Stevie Johnson (groin)
Dontrelle Inman (neck)
Ty Montgomery (ankle)
Taylor Gabriel (concussion)
Lance Moore (ankle)
Vincent Jackson (knee)
Good luck in week 15.
