Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 15

Congratulations on making it to the fantasy football postseason. Undoubtedly, proactive waiver wire choices were a big help in that achievement, especially in a season as wild as 2021.

Now that we’re in do-or-die mode, each remaining FAAB dollar is more valuable than ever. Let’s take a look at some of the key free agents ahead of Week 15 and figure out how much of that remaining budget we should use.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget 

Rashaad Penny (RB) Seattle Seahawks (40% FAAB) – The talent has always been there but Penny has always struggled to stay healthy. Week 14 delivered on that skillset as Penny took lead back duties for the Seahawks and turned 35 snaps into 17 touches, 138 yards, and two scores. With Adrian Peterson inactive and Alex Collins playing just 14 snaps, Penny is poised to be a real difference-maker while healthy and is worth a substantial FAAB bid.

D’Onta Foreman (RB) Tennessee Titans (10% FAAB) – Tennessee continues to trot out a two or three-man backfield but Foreman appears to be the easy choice in fantasy formats. Even though he was out-snapped by Dontrell Hilliard and Jeremy McNichols…

The fantasy playoffs are right around the corner. Now is the time to make free agent moves to secure must-win late-season victories, or beef up your bench for the postseason run.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Russell Gage (WR) Atlanta Falcons (8% FAAB) – Still available in over three-quarters of ESPN fantasy leagues, Gage has averaged nine targets per game over Atlanta’s past three contests and just had a season-best 11 grabs and 130 yards against Tampa. Gage is unquestionably Atlant’s No. 1 wideout and offers weekly WR3 value.

Ricky Seals-Jones (TE) Washington Football Team (7% FAAB) – Logan Thomas‘s return to the lineup didn’t last long. With Thomas projected to be back on the shelf for an extensive amount of time…

Last Thursday was a bit overwhelming, with three games filling up an entire day. Week 13 sees a return to normalcy as the Dallas Cowboys travel to New Orleans in our primetime showdown.

This will be the Cowboys’ second consecutive Thursday tilt and the Cowboys, losers of three of their last four games. For Dallas to get back into the conversation as the NFC’s top team they need to quickly right the ship.

New Orleans has been even worse, losing four straight and falling out of the wild-card chase. In an effort to right the ship, Sean Payton has made a quarterback change, but will it be enough to save the Saints’ season?

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13

The Thanksgiving slate certainly had more than its fair share of drama and unexpected performances but out of that chaos comes opportunity. A slew of injuries has opened the door for several key free agent players that might be available on your league’s waiver wire.

Here are the key free agent players to target ahead of Week 13, with remaining FAAB recommendations.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget 

Alexander Mattison (RB) Minnesota Vikings (75% FAAB) – Odds are that Mattison is already rostered in your league, but if he happens to be available, Mattison offers league-winning upside down the stretch. Mattison has routinely shined in the featured role when given opportunities and should have multiple weeks to star as Davlin Cook is sidelined multiple weeks by shoulder injuries. If Mattison is available in your league, be prepared to make an aggressive bid to add a potential RB1 to your roster.

Chuba Hubbard (RB) Carolina Panthers (55% FAAB) – Like the Vikings, the Panthers also lost their starting running back, this time Christian McCaffrey for the remainder of 2021. When CMC miss several weeks earlier this season, Hubbard did a fine job in relief, averaging 12.9 PPR points per start. At this point…
