Uncover Hidden Gems for Your Fantasy Team
Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Early Week 15 Pickups to Add
Tank Bigsby (RB – JAX)Bigsby took 18 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown today. He might be just a Travis Etienne handcuff, but considering the chaos of the Jacksonville season, he seems more likely to lead the Jaguars' backfield in the coming weeks. In 12-team leagues, it's safe to start Bigsby as a flex.Injuries and team situations can change quickly in the fantasy world. Bigsby has shown potential and could be a valuable addition to your roster.
Rostered: 35.7%The Jacksonville Jaguars' backfield situation is uncertain, and Bigsby has the opportunity to step up. Keep an eye on his performance as the season progresses.
Sincere McCormick (RB – LV)
As the Raiders' lost season nears its end, it would be wise for them to keep feeding their young and talented running back, McCormick. At 24 and undrafted in 2022, he's had a tough road but is now getting his chance.Over the last three weeks, McCormick has shown great promise with 32 carries for 175 yards (5.5 yards per carry). If Zamir White and Alexander Mattison continue to be out, he should be a must-start in all formats.
Rostered: 11.2%McCormick's emergence is a positive sign for the Raiders' offense. His ability to gain yardage and score touchdowns makes him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues.
Isaiah Davis (RB – NYJ)
Breece Hall missed today's game, and Davis, a 2024 fifth-round pick, took advantage, scoring a first-half touchdown. Hall is expected to return this season, but in a Jets season that seems lost, it's hard to be certain. In games without Hall, Davis is likely to see double-digit touches.Davis has shown he can perform when given the opportunity and could be a solid flex option in deeper leagues.
Rostered: 3.4%The Jets' running back situation is in flux, and Davis has the potential to make an impact. Keep an eye on his development as the season goes on.
Jaylen Wright (RB – MIA)
Raheem Mostert was inactive today, making Wright the RB2 behind De'Vone Achane. With Achane's injury history, it's a concern. While I wouldn't consider Wright a starter with Achane active, his potential is there.Wright could be a valuable addition in deeper leagues or in situations where Achane is injured.
Rostered: 4.8%The Miami Dolphins' running back situation is a bit of a mystery. Wright's role could increase if Achane gets hurt, so it's worth keeping an eye on him.
Tyler Allgeier (RB – ATL)
Allgeier is not only the Bijan Robinson handcuff but also actively involved in the Falcons' game plan. If you roster Robinson and Allgeier is available on the waiver wire, it's a priority to acquire him.Allgeier provides stability and a reliable option in the Falcons' backfield.
Rostered: 37.8%With Robinson getting a lot of attention, Allgeier offers a complementary option. He's been consistent and could be a key contributor down the stretch.
Adam Thielen (WR – CAR)
Thielen, at 34 years old, missed weeks four through 11 with an injury but has still been performing. In his last three games, he has 20 catches for 258 yards and a touchdown. Given the Panthers' tendency to pass to catch up in games, Thielen is a reliable flex play in most formats.His experience and ability to make plays make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues.
Rostered: 38.7%Thielen's resurgence is a welcome sight for Panthers fans and fantasy owners alike. He's been a consistent performer and could continue to be so.
Tim Patrick (WR – DET)
Patrick's two-touchdown performance on Thursday may not be repeatable, but his recent stats are impressive. With 38.6 fantasy points in his last three weeks, he should be rostered in more than 0.6% of leagues. In 12-team leagues, he's flex-worthy in precarious situations and even more valuable in deeper formats.Patrick's ability to score and make plays gives him value in fantasy football.
Rostered: 0.6%Patrick's emergence is a surprise and could be a valuable addition to your fantasy team. Keep an eye on his performance as the season continues.
Ray-Ray McCloud (WR – ATL)
McCloud is becoming an important part of the Falcons' game plan. He's getting plays designed for him at all levels of the field, and Kirk Cousins is looking to him on crucial third downs. While his ceiling is limited with Drake London and Darnell Mooney healthy, his floor is solid given his roster status.McCloud provides depth and versatility to the Falcons' offense.
Rostered: 12.0%McCloud's role in the Falcons' offense is growing, and he could be a valuable contributor in the coming weeks.
Atlanta Falcons D/ST
The Falcons are heading to Las Vegas next weekend to face the Raiders and then host the New York Giants in Week 16. These matchups make the Falcons D/ST a viable start option.Their defense has the potential to perform well in these games and provide valuable points in fantasy leagues.
Rostered: 8.8%The Falcons' defense has shown some promise this season and could be a key factor in your fantasy lineup.
