Updated Waiver Wire Rankings Week 15 (2024) - Mid-Week Fantasy Football Pickups Include Braelon Allen, Christian Watson, Cedric Tillman, Stone Smartt

Sincere McCormick - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy football mid-week waiver wire rankings for Week 15 of the 2024 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Most waivers in fantasy leagues run on Tuesdays and Wednesdays; fantasy managers can still add players until Sunday game time. Week 15 is the beginning of the fantasy playoffs, and we are back with our updated mid-week fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 15 of the 2024 season to help your teams advance to the next round.

There were more crucial injuries last week, with Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku expected to miss Sunday's game with a hamstring issue. At the same time, it's still unclear if New York Jets running back Breece Hall will suit up in Week 15. Hall and Njoku missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. The fantasy playoffs have arrived, and more questions must be answered after Sunday's results. Which tight end should fantasy managers add to help replace David Njoku if he is ruled out? Is Braelon Allen or Isaiah Davis the Jets' primary back if Hall is inactive?

Our mid-week waiver wire rankings will help answer these questions. One of the industry's sharpest fantasy football minds, Nick Mariano, brings you his weekly waiver wire rankings and priority adds for the top 60 potential options. Good luck in Week 15 on the waiver wire!

Editor's Note: Access RotoBaller’s trusted fantasy football rankings for PPR, Standard, Dynasty, Super Flex, and Best Ball formats. Get tiered cheat sheets, expert analysis, and player outlooks to dominate your draft from every angle.

 

Who To Pick Up for Fantasy Football Week 15?

For anyone unfamiliar, we release all sorts of fantasy football waiver wire articles every week. As part of that, Nick Mariano releases our waiver wire rankings list on Mondays to help you prioritize which players to target as free-agent adds off waivers.

In addition, we are also putting out a second waiver wire rankings list mid-week. Since many fantasy leagues have multiple waiver-wire runs per week for adding players, this mid-week rankings list should help you keep track of players emerging in the middle of the week before we reach Sunday.

Finally, below, you'll see our weekly rankings for the relevant waiver wire pickup options, including how to prioritize them for your league (depending on the league size). Quarterbacks and Defenses (D/ST) are grouped together at the bottom of the list:
