Unlock Fantasy Football Victory with Our Waiver Wire Picks
RUNNING BACKS
Sincere McCormick (LV): With the Raiders' stagnant season, rookie Zamir White's success in 2023 led to Antonio Pierce's retention. Now, Sincere McCormick, the UTSA grad, has earned the starting role. With games against the Jaguars and Saints ahead, he's a potential league winner. Only 43% rostered, he offers great value at various price points.
Jerome Ford (CLE): Nick Chubb's return wasn't vintage, but when he got injured, Jerome Ford showed his explosiveness. With 102 scrimmage yards and a 62-yard touchdown run, he's a versatile playmaker. Now that Chubb is done for the year, Ford is likely to return to RB2 territory. 42% rostered and a must-have for those seeking a reliable running back.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Jalen McMillan (TB): After two standout performances, this talented rookie is emerging. With a 23.2% target share and 4.5 receptions averaging 67 receiving yards in the last two weeks, and three scores, he's a force to be reckoned with. Against Dallas and New Orleans, who have allowed significant fantasy points to perimeter wide receivers, he's a great addition. Only 8% rostered.
Romeo Doubs (GB): Returning from the concussion protocol, Doubs had an 18.5% target share with 40 receiving yards and two scores. With nice matchups against the Saints, Vikings, and Bears in the next three weeks, where they've allowed substantial PPR points to perimeter wide receivers, he's poised for more success. 38% rostered.
QUARTERBACKS
Aaron Rodgers (NYJ): Aaron Rodgers loves the spotlight and delivered a massive second-half performance when the Jets faced the Jaguars. He could be a streaming option in the semifinal matchups, but the Rams' defense is better. Only 35% rostered, he's a risky but potentially rewarding choice.
Russell Wilson (PIT): The Steelers' loss to the Eagles might work in our favor. With the Eagles' strong defense against quarterbacks and more favorable matchups against the Ravens and Chiefs, Wilson is a cheap streaming option. 49% rostered and worth considering.
TIGHT ENDS
Brenton Strange (JAX): In Week 15, Strange was a PPR machine with a 26% target share, 11 receptions, and 73 receiving yards. While it might not be sustainable weekly, against the Raiders who have allowed a lot to tight ends, he could continue his hot streak. Only 2% rostered.
Chigoziem Okonkwo (TEN): Okonkwo started the end-of-season push in Week 15 with a 26.3% target share, 8 receptions, and 59 receiving yards. With upcoming matchups against Indy and Jacksonville, who have allowed significant fantasy points to tight ends, he's on the verge of fringe TE1 status. 5% rostered.
DEFENSES
Green Bay Packers: With a top-10 defensive fantasy scoring and a home matchup against the Saints, who might start a rookie quarterback and could be without Alvin Kamara, the Packers' defense could feast. 49% rostered and a great streaming option.
Indianapolis Colts: Drawing a home matchup against Tennessee with an uncertain quarterback situation, the Colts' defense is a co-headliner this week. They've been improving and have a favorable schedule. 21% rostered.
KICKERS
Chase McLaughlin (TB): McLaughlin was on fire in the Buccaneers' win over the Chargers, going 4-for-4 on field goals and extra points. With terrific matchups against the Cowboys and Panthers in the next two weeks, he's a reliable kicker. 49% rostered.
Will Lutz (DEN): A prolific and reliable kicker, Lutz entered Week 15 tied for fifth in fantasy points per game. With excellent kicking conditions against the Chargers, he's a solid choice. 18% rostered.
