Joe Flacco is Elite and Waiver Adds
Below are all my favorite week 15 waiver wire options with roster percentages under 68% on Sleeper. Rankings are HPPR with the help of PFF before MNF. .
As a kid, I remember watching my uncles play an alumni tackle football game; at the time, I thought it was cool. I always said I would do it if given the opportunity so my kids could watch me. The older I get, the more I think that is a terrible idea. Why would I want to do that? I would need a forklift to get out of bed the following day. Then I look at a guy like Joe Flacco, who has nothing to prove the guy won a Super Bowl; 3 weeks ago, he was watching football at his mom's house, just like me. He probably just wanted a break from his family and to spend more time with the boys; let's be honest, none of us would play fantasy football if our bodies didn't betray us. We all have to respect a 39-year-old with nothing to lose who is just letting it rip; as I type this, I'm getting my hopes up for that alum game to make a comeback.
Below are all my favorite week 15 waiver wire options with roster percentages under 68% on Sleeper. Rankings are HPPR with the help of PFF before MNF. .
Quarterbacks
Matthew Stafford (54%) Just threw 3 TDs vs the Ravens and almost won the game. The Rams take on the Commanders, and over the past 5 games, they have averaged 289 yards through the air. Fire Stafford this week for your first week of playoffs.
Jake Browning (27%) played great football this past week, and Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase weren't involved, both only catching a combined 5 passes. He needs to get those two fed this week vs. the Vikings.
Hail Mary
Joe Flacco (9%): he just threw 300 yards and 3 TDs against the Jaguars. The Bears' defense has been challenging in recent weeks, but Flacco does a good job getting his playmakers involved.
Desmond Ridder (16%) Do you want to put your playoff hopes in Desmond Ridder? Before you do, the Panthers are tough against the pass, or teams run the whole game because they are milking the clock. Ridder had a good game last week, but the Bucs are terrible against the pass: only Superflex or emergencies.
Running backs
Tyjae Spears (54%). Has back-to-back games with 100 yards from scrimmage. He is becoming a favorite target for Will Levis.
Chase Brown (13%) has gotten involved in back-to-back weeks. He is doing the best he can with little opportunity.
Rico Dowdle (14%) had 12 rushing attempts to Pollard's 16 attempts. Touchdown is dependent, but the volume could keep ticking up.
Wide Receiver
Odell Beckham Jr. (52%) has at least 12 fantasy points in 4 out of his last 5 games. OBJ had 10 targets on Sunday, and the volume is there. You can pick him up and play him vs. Jacksonville.
Jayden Reed (67%) has at least 13 fantasy points in 4 out of his last 5 games. Has a juicy matchup this week vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
YOLO Ball
Demarcus Robinson (1%) has back-to-back double-digit games. He caught 3 of 10 targets on Sunday. Could be in line for another big game on Sunday vs. the Commanders.
JuJu Smith-Schuster (23%) revenge game for JuJu, but Zappe didn't look bad on Thursday night vs. the Steelers. WR3 is a flex play, but he shouldn't be on your waiver wire.
Tight Ends
Taysom Hill (67%) has been on here for 5+ weeks. If he suits up, play him. He will be on next week's list too.
Isaiah Likely (59%) caught 5 of 7 targets, including a 54-yard TD catch.
Hunter Henry (21%) scored 2 TDs last week vs. the Steelers, so he is on the list. Hopefully, he keeps it going. He was putting up great numbers earlier this season.
