Here's Matt Pitzer look at the fantasy football landscape for Week 15. Matt will take questions about your fantasy team Thursday, noon ET.  QB Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints: After seeing the Baltimore Ravens' soft pass defense surrender another big game, you shouldn't have any worries about Brees. He is on a tear with 10 passing TDs over the past four games. The Saints also had no problem in cold weather in Week 13 against the Cincinnati Bengals.  RB Steven Jackson, St. Louis Rams: If you're buying into the Rams' chances vs. the Kansas City Chiefs, you're playing Jackson at home. The Chiefs have allowed an average of 157.3 rushing yards over their past three games.  WR Steve Johnson, Buffalo Bills: After a couple of quiet weeks, be sure to keep Johnson in the lineup at the Miami Dolphins. The Bills will not have to worry about cold weather, and the Dolphins are 1-5 at home.  WR Hakeem Nicks, New York Giants: Nicks returned from an injury with a team-high 96 yards vs. the Minnesota Vikings. With Steve Smith out, the Giants need Hicks badly vs. the Philadelphia Eagles.  RB Michael Turner, Atlanta Falcons: The Falcons are going for their third road win in a row and have been riding Turner. He's getting stronger as the season goes on, scoring in his last four games and topping 100 yards in three. The Seattle Seahawks have allowed an average of 152 rushing yards over their past four.  WR Dwayne Bowe, Chiefs: You're taking a big risk in starting Bowe if Brodie Croyle is the quarterback. Croyle completed seven passes for 40 yards last weekend and needs to make huge strides for Bowe to get back to his status as one of the top fantasy receivers.  RB Brian Westbrook, San Francisco 49ers: He had a big game last weekend vs. the Seahawks but will have a much tougher time after a short week vs. the San Diego Chargers. San Diego is fourth in rushing yards allowed and should not be susceptible to the big plays Westbrook had vs. Seattle.  WR Santonio Holmes, New York Jets: Holmes returns to face his old team, the Pittsburgh Steelers. This might be a low-scoring, defensive game; when you include poor field conditions and Mark Sanchez's interceptions, it gets hard to see how Holmes has a big game.  QB Kyle Orton, Denver Broncos: Orton has thrown for 283 yards with three interceptions over the past two weeks. While anything can happen in the Broncos-Oakland Raiders series, Orton is a big risk.  WR Sidney Rice, Vikings: Both Brett Favre and Tarvaris Jackson might be out, and the passing offense could be exposed to the outdoor elements at home in a night game. None of that adds up to a great day for Rice, especially if Percy Harvin also returns.  RB Cedric Benson, Bengals: If you still have him on the roster, you might use him. As a Bengal, Benson has averaged 101.7 rushing yards in three games vs. the Cleveland Browns.  QB Kerry Collins, Tennessee Titans: With the Titans unable to ride running back Chris Johnson consistently, Collins has had big games. He threw three TD passes against the Indianapolis Colts, should have No. 1 receiver Kenny Britt back at full strength and faces the Houston Texans' league-worst pass defense.  TE Owen Daniels, Texans: After missing five games because a bad hamstring, Daniels returned with a season-high 91 yards last weekend. Daniels has two good matchups coming and gives QB Matt Schaub a reliable secondary option.  RB Tim Hightower, Arizona Cardinals: Hightower ran for 148 yards and two TDs last weekend when Chris "Beanie" Wells was ill. That puts him back atop the running back rotation going into a matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed 17 rushing touchdowns, second-most in the NFL.  WR Vincent Jackson, Chargers: It's go time for Jackson. He made it through last weekend's game OK and is ready to step up his game as one of the team's big-play options. The 49ers will be accommodating.
