Fantasy football, Week 15: Start or sit Jaguars QB Blake Bortles vs. Texans?

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Blake Bortles are closing in on an AFC South title as they host the Houston Texans in Week 15.

While Jacksonville’s defense is why they’re in the playoff mix, Bortles has become a more efficient quarterback, and he’s someone you can even start in the fantasy playoffs.

Bortles is on a mini-hot streak as the playoffs heat up, throwing for 575 yards and four scores over his last two games. He also ranks ninth in fantasy points scored among quarterbacks over the last five weeks.

He’ll now face a fading Texans team that’s been depleted on defense heading down the stretch of the regular season, and this game is in Jacksonville.

Fantasy Advice: Houston is allowing the second-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. It’s a risk playing Bortles, but with such a great matchup, he is a worthy starter on your fantasy team in this round of the playoffs.
