Waiver Wire Express - Week 15 Lightning Round

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.
