2025 Fantasy Football: Week 15 Waiver Wire Adds
Chris Rodriguez Jr., RB, Commanders
While the Commanders' season may be over with star QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) suffering another setback, their running back room is beginning to take shape. During their loss to the Vikings, Chris Rodriguez Jr. once again led the way on the ground and has solidified himself as the team's primary option in the backfield.
Over his past five games, Rodriguez has logged 10.8 rushing attempts per game and averaged 50.6 yards per game. During this stretch, he has punched in three scores and has been given at least one carry within the five-yard line in all but one game.
Given his increased role and very favorable schedule down the stretch, facing three defenses within the top eight in terms of PPR points allowed to the RB position, Rodriguez is a viable plug-and-play RB2 going forward.
Bam Knight, RB, Cardinals
With Trey Benson (knee) still on the IR and now trending to miss the remainder of the season, it appears Bam Knight will lead the Arizona backfield down the stretch. This past weekend, Knight had a tough matchup against the Rams and was unable to do much with his opportunities, tallying just 16 yards on seven attempts and bringing in three of his six targets for another 16 yards.
However, over his previous three contests (Weeks 11 through 13), Knight averaged a strong 15.5 PPR points per game. During this stretch, Knight caught at least three passes per game and averaged 3.8 YPC. While he has another difficult matchup lined up in Week 15 against the Texans, he carries high-end FLEX upside in Week 16 and 17, facing the Falcons and the Bengals.

Devin Singletary, RB, Giants
The final running back to consider picking up this week is Devin Singletary of the Giants. While Singletary has typically played in the RB2 role behind Tyrone Tracy Jr., when given opportunities, he has been effective. Last Monday, when Tracy exited the contest with a hip injury, Singletary put together a solid showing, totaling 17.7 PPR points against a tough New England defense.
Over his last three games, the veteran has eclipsed 15.0 PPR points twice despite never logging more than 50% of the snaps in a single game. While Tracy is expected to be a full-go for Week 15 following his bye week, Singletary has provided that he could not only be a viable FLEX option with upside but also possess elite contingent value if Tracy were to miss time.
Luther Burden III, WR, Bears
With Rome Odunze (foot) sidelined, second-round pick Luther Burden was finally deployed in a full-time role. While Burden has already begun to earn a larger opportunity and seen his role increase since the start of the second half, he made the largest impact in this contest. In this game, Burden led the team in receiving yards (67) and tied for a team-high in receptions (four).
Over the past two weeks, Burden has seen at least six targets logged 51% of the team's total snaps. Given that Odunze could be in danger of missing more time with this injury, Burden has high-end WR3 upside going forward. His eye-catching 13.2 YPR suggests he possesses elite upside when given the ball.
Jayden Reed, WR, Packers
Jayden Reed made his return from the IR on Sunday and was immediately given a starting role in the Green Bay offense. During their victory over the Bears, Reed brought in all four of his targets for 31 yards and took an additional two carries for 22 yards. He suffered this collarbone injury in Week 2 but enjoyed a productive showing in Week 1 (12.0 PPR points) and nearly matched this total following his two-month absence.
While Christian Watson has emerged as the team's primary WR1, Romeo Doubs has begun to fall out of favor in the offense, opening up the clear No. 2 role for Reed. Following his hot start, Doubs has averaged just 2.2 receptions per game over his last five games. On Sunday, he was unable to catch both of his targets.

Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Browns
Harold Fannin Jr. enjoyed a breakout game on Sunday afternoon. During their loss to the Titans, the rookie caught eight of his season-high 11 targets for 114 yards and a score. This was the first time in his debut campaign in which he eclipsed the century mark in yards and caught eight passes in a single game. Since Shedeur Sanders has taken over the starting job, Fannin's production has become quite stable.
From Weeks 12 through 14, Fannin has seen at least five targets in each game and eclipsed double-digit PPR points twice. In addition, with fellow tight end David Njoku (knee) extending Week 14 with a knee injury, Fannin could be given a massive snap share down the stretch. Managers in need of a starting TE should dump the remaining FAAB dollars they have on Fannin.
Colston Loveland, TE, Jaguars
The final player to consider adding is another rookie TE, Colston Loveland. Similar to Burden, Loveland saw an increase in opportunities with the top wideout, Odunze, on the shelf on Sunday. In their loss to Green Bay, Loveland matched Burden's four receptions and saw just one fewer target (five), placing him second among Chicago pass catchers.
Loveland brought in four of them for 29 yards and his fourth receiving touchdown. Since Week 9, Loveland has averaged a solid 53.2 yards per game and has seen 5.2 targets per game. Prior to this second-half surge, the Michigan product tallied just 19.3 yards per game.
