After the first week of NFL Fantasy Football Playoffs, here are some players that we hope you didn't start or that we hope you played against. This compiles a list of Fantasy Football players that laid an egg in the NFL Week 15.
NFL Fantasy Football Playoff Zeroes
Starting at the top, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott found his way on this list by only putting up six fantasy football points this week against the Buffalo Bills. Prescott has been on a pretty good run the last few weeks, so we guess he was due for a bad game.
Next we have a couple running backs that couldn't get anything going in week 15. Firstly, based on first round draft value, we have Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler; who only put up just shy of eight points. Not much on Ekeler as his offense in general is staggered by the loss of quarterback Justin Herbert for the year. Maybe with the interim head coach Giff Smith the Chargers will be able to put together a better offensive game plan.
Another underwhelming performance by a first round running back is Atlanta Falcons Bijian Robinson. The hyped rookie had a decent season fantasy football wise, but this week he logged his second worst game with not even scoring a point against the lowly Carolina Panthers. Hopefully Falcons head coach Arthur Smith can get it together this season with game plans, at least for our sake in fantasy football.

Two wide receivers, each entering their second year in the NFL, that left more to be desired this week are New York Jets Garrett Wilson and Falcons Drake London. Wilson ended the day scoring just shy of six fantasy football points as he struggled with being at the mercy of Jets backup quarterback Trevor Seimian for most of the game. While Drake London posted only four points and has had a hard time finding consistency in an underperforming Atlanta offense.
Another first round fantasy pick that failed to live up to their status this week is Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Kelce only scored about seven fantasy points this week, given he left the game early with an injury some time after he dropped a touchdown pass.
Piling onto the Los Angeles Chargers woes, if you started their defense in week 15, you regretted it. It seemed like a decent matchup going against Las Vegas Raiders rookie quarterback Aidan O'Connell... But it wasn't, as they lost you five fantasy points. This probably also contributed to Brandon Staley losing his job.
No one cares about kickers unless they cost you fantasy points. Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus missed two kicks and negated owners a point in fantasy. Not a big deal in the grand scheme of the NFL Week 15 but someone had to be the worst kicker of the week.
