Week 15 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Guide + Playoff Strategy, Waiver Decisions & DFS Picks (2025)

December 11, 2025·1 hr 12 min·4 clips

Christian Watson has the better scoring floor, but RJ Harvey still gets the lean in Week 15.

Playoff time takes over Operation Domination. Dan Mader opens with Adam LaRue and Chase Thornton and pulls the show away from the Dynasty temperature check so the conversation can stay on playoff decisions. The tone stays urgent. They keep coming back to the questions that matter most for managers still alive: who to start, who to stash, who to cut loose, and where a DFS edge might still be hiding. The panel leans on practical fantasy clues. Targets, routes, projected role, matchup, injury context, and the sort of volume hints that usually settle a close call are the markers they keep returning to. One of the sharper moments comes when they discuss whether Luther Burden is even worth a roster spot in redraft. The answer is basically no, and they say it plainly. Another question sends the group into the weeds on a set of waiver wide receiver options. They compare the upside and floor of the names on the board and settle on DK as the most comfortable starting choice for most lineups. Jerry Jeudy and Darius Slayton get treated as different kinds of compromises. Jeudy is framed as a volatile pop-off play, while Slayton looks steadier but with less ceiling. The conversation keeps circling back to team context. If a manager is the favorite, this is probably not the kind of roster puzzle they are facing, and if they are asking these questions, they are likely trying to survive as the underdog. That framing helps the episode feel honest. Instead of pretending every option is equally good, the hosts admit that some answers are just the least ugly ones. The show also leaves room for the lighter stuff that tends to break up a long fantasy session. There are side comments, quick jokes, and the familiar casual rhythm of a group chat that still wants the final answer to be useful. The episode closes by shifting into DFS and playoff good-luck mode. It leaves with a practical, week-specific mindset: survive the round, make the sharper start/sit call, and keep the lineup moving.
