Dynasty Takeaways From Week 15

Kevin gives his top dynasty takeaways from Week 15!

The first week of the fantasy playoffs was an absolute bloodbath, but in dynasty leagues, the chaos hit on a different level. Not only did Week 15 crush playoff dreams with disappointing performances from supposed cornerstones, but it also forced dynasty managers to start reevaluating their rosters for the long haul. Veterans who were supposed to carry the load faltered, while younger players and emerging stars flashed their potential at just the right time.

For contenders, it was a week where survival meant navigating through the wreckage of underwhelming studs. For rebuilders, it was a reminder of why we invest in youth and draft capital—because in moments like these, the next wave of talent can flip the script. Whether you’re contending or preparing for 2024, Week 15 was a wake-up call to stay sharp and think big picture.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker Is An Off-Season Stash

Carolina’s offense hasn’t been lighting up the scoreboard, but Jalen Coker is starting to carve out a role that dynasty managers should keep an eye on. After missing several weeks with a quad injury, the undrafted rookie out of Holy Cross made a statement in his return, posting 110 yards, including an impressive 83-yard touchdown that showcased surprising breakaway speed. For a player who began the season as a long shot to make the roster, Coker’s rise has been nothing short of remarkable.

Before his injury, Coker was already gaining traction, playing a career-high 88% of snaps and earning eight targets in a game against the Giants. Now that he’s healthy, his ability to create separation, haul in tough catches, and provide a reliable target for Bryce Young is becoming more evident. With Xavier Legette battling inconsistency and Adam Thielen continuing to handle slot duties, Coker has a real chance to secure more opportunities in the Z receiver role.

Carolina’s passing game isn’t potent enough to support multiple fantasy-relevant wideouts right now, but Coker’s skill set makes him an intriguing stash. As Bryce Young grows into his role, having a reliable weapon like Coker could pay off for both the Panthers and dynasty managers willing to bet on his potential.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Stepping Up

Xavier Worthy has been on a steady upward trajectory, and his usage in recent weeks is a clear sign that the Chiefs are starting to trust the rookie more. Over the last two games, Worthy has solidified his role in Kansas City’s offense, setting a career high in receptions twice and showcasing his versatility as a rusher with a 21-yard touchdown run. He’s been a consistent presence, logging at least four receptions and 46 receiving yards in each of the last five games.

What makes Worthy’s rise even more noteworthy is how he’s separating from the rest of the Chiefs' crowded receiving corps. While veteran DeAndre Hopkins saw his snap share and route participation drop below 50%, Worthy has taken full advantage of his increased opportunities. The Chiefs clearly made it a priority to get the ball into his hands, as he led the team in receptions, targets, and receiving yards in their win against Cleveland.

For dynasty managers, Worthy is becoming a player to trust. His strong rookie campaign and consistent production make him a potential top-24 dynasty wide receiver asset if he continues to deliver during the closing stretch of the regular season and into the playoffs. With Patrick Mahomes at the helm, Worthy is a long-term investment who could pay big dividends.
