Week 15 Waiver Wire Rankings - Fantasy Football Pickups

Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 15 of the NFL season. These are free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Welcome to Week 15 RotoBallers, aka the fantasy football playoffs. Congrats to those of you who made it -- now lets's go win those leagues! There are no more teams on byes, so that's one less thing to worry about, but plenty of other injuries and moving pieces to deal with. As always we're here to help you sift through it. Our NFL team puts out a complete array of fantasy football waiver wire articles, and here is a quick rundown if you're not familiar:

Our fantasy football waiver wire articles get published on Mondays and Tuesdays each week. First up is our overall waiver wire article, by lead editor Pierre Camus, and the famous waiver wire express lightning round compliments of Nick Mariano. These give a nice overview of the waiver wire pickup options each week.

If you're in a league with FAAB waivers (blind bids), this top-notch FAAB waiver wire article by Nick Mariano is a must-read. He lists the players to target off the waiver wire, and how much of your remaining FAAB budget to spend. In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: running backswide receiverstight endsquarterbacksdefenseskickers, IDP leagues and players to consider dropping.
