Welcome to the Week 15 waiver wire watch! Think about making a waiver declare in your fantasy soccer leagues for the next gamers (out there in not less than 50% of ESPN leagues).
Jameis Winston, QB, Cleveland Browns
Well-known Jameis leads the league in dropbacks, move makes an attempt, passing yards, and air yards since he grew to become Cleveland’s starter in Week 8. There might not be a extra risky participant on the market — however no person’s getting extra possibilities with the soccer of their arms both. Winston is a volume-based fantasy participant with probably high-scoring duels in opposition to the Chiefs, Bengals, Dolphins, and Ravens on deck to shut the season.
Tank Bigsby, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
With Trevor Lawrence out for the yr and the Jaguars eradicated from the playoffs, Bigsby quietly took the lead function from Travis Etienne on Sunday. Etienne began the sport however solely noticed 4 carries for 20 yards; Bigsby obtained 18 totes for 55 yards and the go-ahead rating. He’s solely trusted as a rusher and performs for a very unhealthy offense, but Bigsby may present respectable fantasy worth in upcoming video games in opposition to the Jets and Raiders.
Isaiah Davis, RB, New York Jets
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that New York isn’t contemplating shutting down Breece Corridor regardless of him lacking Sunday’s sport as a consequence of a lingering knee harm. That mentioned, Davis and/or fellow rookie Braelon Allen are price including in case Corridor stays out. Davis had 13 touches for 67 yards and a landing on Sunday; Allen had 15 touches for 81 yards. I choose Davis — who supplies extra juice, particularly as a receiver — however each Jets ought to be on each fantasy supervisor’s radar.
Honest McCormick, RB, Las Vegas Raiders
With Zamir White and Alexander Mattison knocked out of motion as a consequence of accidents, McCormick has taken the chance in Vegas’ backfield and run with it. The UTSA product has 27 carries for 142 yards over the previous two weeks. As soon as a observe squad common, McCormick is out of the blue a must-add in all codecs as long as he retains his beginning job.
Patrick Taylor, RB, San Francisco 49ers
Niners operating backs have been dropping like flies. The poster baby of final week’s column, Isaac Guerendo, joined Elijah Mitchell, Christian McCaffrey, and Jordan Mason on the harm report after spraining his ankle on Sunday. Taylor performed nearly all of snaps in his absence and completed with 7 carries for 25 yards and a landing. His traits aren’t practically as thrilling as that of Guerendo, not to mention McCaffrey, however the rule: backs beginning for Kyle Shanahan musn’t be ignored.
Romeo Doubs, WR, Inexperienced Bay Packers
Few out there gamers deliver the identical weekly ground as Doubs: he’s had not less than 3 catches and 28 yards in eight of 10 video games this yr, and he ran extra routes than some other Packer till his Week 12 concussion. That harm has made Doubs up for grabs in most fantasy leagues however don’t sleep on the previous fourth-rounder. He’ll have loads of scoring alternatives in Weeks 16 and 17 notably with Inexperienced Bay taking part in New Orleans and Minnesota — every ranks bottom-three in targets and bottom-eight in fantasy factors per sport allowed to wideouts.
Jalen McMillan, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
This yr’s 92nd total decide scored his second and third NFL touchdowns on Sunday. He additionally had a career-high 59 yards. Patrons ought to watch out for regression, because the Bucs have a troublesome draw in opposition to the Chargers subsequent week, however McMillan remains to be price flagging contemplating his rising function in one of many league’s hottest offenses.
Adam Thielen, WR, Carolina Panthers
Hand up — I used to be mistaken about Bryce Younger, who’s been taking part in nice ball after wanting like one of many worst no. 1 picks in current reminiscence. The most important beneficiary of Younger’s turnaround is 34-year-old Adam Thielen, who’s posted 8-plus catches and 99-plus yards in consecutive weeks. With vulnerable secondaries on the horizon (Dallas, Arizona, Tampa Bay, Atlanta), he ought to be a plug-and-play consideration for any fantasy squad.
Ravens D/ST
Baltimore’s Protection/Particular Groups is offered in most leagues as a consequence of its Week 14 bye week. If you happen to can, scoop them up earlier than Sunday’s showdown in opposition to Drew Lock’s Giants. (The Jets D/ST additionally has a juicy matchup in opposition to Mac Jones’ Jaguars.) Defenses usually aren’t price dropping a prime waiver spot, however if you happen to’ve made it this far, contemplate taking each alternative to enhance your beginning lineup.
