​Daryl Worley, Cornerback

When finding defensive backs -- specifically those of the cornerback persuasion -- to stream, the two things I look for are opponents with high-volume passing attacks (high floor of tackles/passes defended) and high interception rates (high floor for big plays). Carolina Panthers cornerback Daryl Worley finds himself in a good spot for either in Week 15. Already the rookie comes in at second among the 110 qualifying cornerbacks in tackle rate and has eight pass disruptions so far this year.

In Week 15, he will face Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins and, likely, wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Washington is top-10 in both pass-heavy play calling ratio and raw passing plays this year, allowing a high floor of plays for Worley to impact. Cousins has just a 1.80 interception rate, though, which means big-plays may be few and far between.

Worley is available in 100.0% of ESPN IDP leagues, and we project him for 5.88 tackles, 0.18 interceptions, 0.28 passes defended, and a total score of 7.44 fantasy points in Week 15.
