The Titans have three players to consider as sleepers for Week 15 against Cincinnati with Will Levis, Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. All three have fantastic matchups against the Bengals defense at home.
Start with Levis, who is only going to be used in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues in Week 15, which is the start of the Fantasy playoffs. Levis injured his shoulder in Week 14 against Jacksonville and scored just 7.1 Fantasy points, but prior to that he scored at least 20.1 Fantasy points in three of his previous four games.
He practiced this week without limitations, and now he’s facing a Cincinnati defense that is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Three quarterbacks in the past four games against the Bengals have scored at least 28.4 Fantasy points, and Levis will hopefully take advantage of this secondary.
This should also benefit Ridley and Westbrook-Ikhine. Ridley scored 12.9 PPR points in Week 14 against Jacksonville, which was somewhat disappointing since he had 12 targets, but he only managed seven catches for 59 yards. He hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 10, but this could be a breakout game for him given the matchup. He’s a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues.
In their past four games, the Bengals have allowed 41 catches for 704 yards and eight touchdowns to receivers from Baltimore, the Chargers, Pittsburgh and Dallas. Tylan Wallace, Rashod Bateman, Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston, George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb all scored at least 12.8 PPR points against Cincinnati over that span, which will hopefully help Ridley and Westbrook-Ikhine, who is a good flier in deeper leagues.
It would be great if Westbrook-Ikhine got back in the end zone. Prior to Week 14 against Jacksonville when he was held to one catch for 19 yards on two targets, he scored a touchdown in three games in a row and seven times in his past eight games.
This could be a fun game between the Bengals and Titans in Week 15, especially if the Tennessee offense shows up. I’m expecting that to happen, which is why I like Levis, Ridley and Westbrook-Ikhine as sleepers.
