Week 15 Fantasy Preview (Playoffs edition): Chicago Bears at Minnesota Vikings, Alshon Jeffery, Matt Forte, Adrian Peterson

Dec 15, 2015 05:49 PM EST

Chicago Bears

Alshon Jeffery (Wide Receiver): The Vikings give up the 17th most fantasy points to wide receivers and Jeffery has been on a roll. In his earlier game with the Vikings Jeffery caught 10 out of 15 targets for 116 yards and a touchdown. Expect the same level of coverage that got Jeffery all of those fantasy points in the first place. He is pretty much guaranteed 10 targets a game and could easily break 100 receiving yards. Jeffery is a solid start this week.

Matt Forte (Running Back): Forte is the primary fantasy running back for this offense. Forte catches most of his targets and is currently getting the start even though he is splitting reps with Jeremy Langford. The Vikings have one of the stingiest run defenses in the NFL and the last time these two teams met Forte only had 41 yards on 10 rushing attempts. Forte is a solid sit this week.

Minnesota Vikings

Adrian Peterson (Running Back): Peterson has been a bit banged up lately so the extra day of rest should really help him get some of his burst back. Peterson is facing a defense that gives up the 17th most fantasy points in the NFL. Peterson has 6 touchdowns in 6 weeks so he is pretty productive. Obviously if you have Peterson you have to start him, in his last game against Chicago, he racked up 103 yards on 20 carries.
