STLCards' NFL Field Stretcher: Week 15

Week 15

Welcome back to the NFL Field Stretcher for Week #15! I am not trying to be negative right off the bat, but this is the ugliest main slate we have seen all season. The Chiefs and Chargers have good offenses but played on Thursday. The Rams play on Sunday night. The Saints and Panthers play on Monday night. We also lose four teams off the main slate thanks to Saturday games this week. There is a lot of firepower that simply isn’t available on the main slate, and it shows in the lineup builds when we start to put them together.

The good news is that everyone is playing with the same slate and salary cap, so we can still try to find an edge. Let’s roll up our sleeves and try to make lemonade out of this lemon of a Week 15 slate.
