Waiver Wire Express - Week 15 Lightning Round

The Week 15 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2019 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Raheem Mostert, A.J. Brown, Zach Pascal & more.

An injury-laden Week 14 decided many matchups, with several big names going down in a Red Wedding-esque affair. Not only was Josh Jacobs was a late inactive, but Jared Cook, Devante Parker, Albert Wilson all left with concussions, Mike Evans pulled up with a hamstring injury, Calvin Ridley and Ryan Griffin hurt their ankles, Derrius Guice suffered a knee injury, and Mark Andrews left with thigh bruise. To navigate the medical records and push on towards glory, here is the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 15.

This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order and broken down by position. Players must be owned in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
