Brown's +18.00 NEP this week raised his cumulative Reception NEP to second-highest among all receivers, same as his Target NEP. Brown led all wide receivers in fantasy points in Week 15, putting up 46.9 PPR points. In a rough year for many early-round fantasy draft picks, Brown continues to provide consistent high-end fantasy outings.

Looking at the rest of this week's top receivers, Emmanuel Sanders had one of his best performances of the season, catching 10 passes for 181 yards and a score. Same went for Jordan Matthews, who, after several disappointing weeks, was able to have a nice individual performance catching 8 of 11 for 159 yards and a touchdown. Sammy Watkins tried to keep the Bills in their game this week, catching two scoring passes and surpassing the 100-yard mark. Ted Ginn Jr. and DeSean Jackson utilized their deep speed and were able to provide big plays for their respective teams.
