NFL.com analysts provide one bold prediction for Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season, from fantasy forecasts to team-based takes.
De'Von Achane runs circles around Steelers on Monday night.
Achane has been on fire in the Dolphins' four-game win streak. The explosive back is averaging 130 rush yards per game during this stretch, and he keyed Miami's shocking Week 10 upset of Buffalo with 225 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns. On Monday night, he scorches the Steelers with 150 rushing yards and a pair of touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving.
Justin Jefferson scores 20-plus PPR fantasy points.
Predicting a big game from Jefferson is like predicting the end of the world. Say it enough times, and eventually you’ll be right. This week’s reason for hope comes in the form of a Cowboys defense that, while improved, still gives up yards through the air. Also, because the Vikings are likely to be playing from behind, that’s a recipe for Jefferson putting up 20 fantasy points for the first time since Week 4.
Rams duo connects for four touchdowns.
The last time a wide receiver scored four receiving touchdowns in a regular-season game, it was Marvin Jones Jr., playing for the Lions, with a guy named Matthew Stafford at quarterback. That was more than six years ago. On Sunday, we’ll see it again ... when Rams WR Davante Adams logs four scores against the Lions, with a guy named Matthew Stafford at quarterback.
Seahawks shut out Colts.
Facing a dominant defense in one of the toughest road environments in football, the Colts are either going to trot out a 44-year-old quarterback who hasn't played in five years or a sixth-round rookie who hasn't started a game. What could possibly go wrong? Seattle's defense, which ranks second in scoring D and fourth in sacks, smothers Jonathan Taylor, limits Indy's QB (whether it's Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard) to fewer than 200 passing yards and shuts out the Colts to earn the team's 11th win of the season.
Justin Jefferson gets back to doing Justin Jefferson things.
Yup, after whiffing on this very prediction last week, I am doubling down! Minnesota isn't likely to shut out a second straight NFC East team. If the Vikings find themselves trailing the Cowboys' top-ranked offense, they will be forced to throw the ball against a Dallas defense that has allowed the most yards and touchdowns to receivers aligned out wide and on deep passes. Give me Jefferson to have 100 receiving yards and a score in the same game for the first time this season.
