QB: Aaron Rodgers, Packers
NFL.com QB scoring rank: No. 4. Matchup: Bears
I'll take him in honor of my son Ben -- a Packers fan. A-Rod has a big day in the Windy City.
WR: REGGIE WAYNE, COLTS
NFL.com WR scoring rank: No. 10. Matchup: Texans
In honor of my son Jack -- a Colts fan. Andrew Luck and Wayne take advantage of a struggling Texans secondary.
RB: ADRIAN PETERSON, VIKINGS
NFL.com RB scoring rank: No. 1. Matchup: Rams
In honor of my son Eric -- a Vikings fan. AP continues march to 2,000 yards in St. Louis.
MICHAEL RAND'S WEEK 15 FANTASY PICKS
QB: JOSH FREEMAN, BUCCANEERS
NFL.com QB scoring rank: No. 11. Matchup: Saints
Freeman has quietly had a very nice season, and it figures to continue against New Orleans, which has one of the worst pass defenses around.
WR: MILES AUSTIN, COWBOYS
NFL.com WR scoring rank: No. 22. Matchup: Steelers
With Dez Bryant nursing a broken finger, I'll take a chance on Austin and bank on 100-plus yards and a touchdown vs. the Steelers.
RB: C.J. SPILLER, BILLS
NFL.com RB scoring rank: No. 11. Matchup: Seahawks
Fred Jackson is hurt, and Spiller has been a pretty consistent scorer regardless.
