Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.
The fantasy football playoffs have arrived! Congratulations to all the teams that made the playoffs. It's go time, and the grind never stops. At RotoBaller HQ, we begin our early waiver wire preparations with our Week 15 fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season. Nick Mariano has ranked the top 85 free agent options to help you prioritize who to add off the waiver wire.
Several players still have low roster percentages and could have an immediate impact on fantasy teams in 2025. Will Devin Neal continue to have a role in the Saints' backfield even if Alvin Kamara returns from injury? Is Luther Burden III the Bears' No. 1 wide receiver with Rome Odunze sidelined, and DJ Moore phased out of the offense? Has Blake Corum earned more of a role in the Rams' backfield after rushing for 128 yards and two touchdowns against the Cardinals in Sunday's win?
We have answers to these questions and will guide you with our top 85 fantasy football waiver wire pickups list for Week 15. Time to go make some moves, tweak your fantasy teams, and grab some waiver wire stashes. Good luck, RotoBallers!

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Outlooks
Some of the top names include Blake Corum, Jaylen Wright, Jerry Jeudy, Mike Gesicki, Harold Fannin Jr., and more. We recap why these players rostered under 55% in Yahoo! leagues should be on your waiver wire radar for Week 15.
Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams
Week 15 Waiver Wire Rankings: 18
Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum had 12 carries for 128 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns during Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals. He also converted his lone target into a three-yard reception. Corum had one fewer carry than Kyren Williams, but he was far more productive in terms of yards, yards per carry, and touchdowns. The highlight of Corum's game was a 48-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter, but he also scored from two yards out during the opening frame.
Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur recently said that giving Corum more touches allowed Williams to stay fresh down the stretch. While that's true, the second-year running back would likely be working his way into a larger role even if the Rams weren't trying to preserve Williams' legs. Corum has been playing at an elite level lately with 19 carries for 209 rushing yards (11 YPC) and three touchdowns over his last two games.
He is the second-highest-scoring running back in fantasy football during those two weeks. Even though Williams is the Rams' lead back, Corum has worked his way into the high-end RB3 or low-end RB2 conversation against the Detroit Lions in Week 15.
Jaylen Wright, RB, Miami Dolphins
Week 15 Waiver Wire Rankings: 29
Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had a career day in Sunday's 34-10 win over the New York Jets after De'Von Achane (ribs) exited early. Wright finished with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown while also seeing three targets but not hauling in any of them. The second-year back has only been active in six games this season, with 10 touches being his most in a game, which came back in a blowout win against the Atlanta Falcons.
He's been firmly behind rookie Ollie Gordon II in the pecking order for touches. Still, Wright operated ahead of Gordon in this game after Achane left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Gordon also punched in a touchdown on seven carries. The severity of Achane's injury is currently unknown, but Wright would emerge as a priority waiver-wire addition if Achane were to miss any time.
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Cleveland Browns
Week 15 Waiver Wire Rankings: 5
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy broke out with one of his best games of the season in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, catching three of his five targets for 76 yards and a touchdown. It was the 26-year-old's first touchdown since Week 10 versus the New York Jets, which is also his only other game this season with 75 or more receiving yards.
The former Denver Broncos wideout hasn't found much production since rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders took over in Week 12, averaging just 8.4 PPR points per game, but perhaps the promising performances by both players in this game will provide some positive momentum just in time for the fantasy playoffs in most leagues in Weeks 15-17. Jeudy will look to stay productive in Week 15 as the Browns go on the road to take on the Chicago Bears.
Mike Gesicki, TE, Cincinnati Bengals
Week 15 Waiver Wire Rankings: 47
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki scored his first touchdown of the season while also recording a season high in receptions and receiving yards, hauling in all six of his targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. Gesicki hasn't played a big role in Cincinnati's offense this season, but he has been surging recently and tied receiver Tee Higgins for the team lead in receptions in Sunday's shootout with the Bills in the snow.
The 30-year-old has totaled 12 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown on 16 targets over the past three games. In Cincinnati's high-volume passing offense with quarterback Joe Burrow back in the fold, Gesicki could be in for a productive end to the season as the No. 3 option behind Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase.
Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Cleveland Browns
Week 15 Waiver Wire Rankings: 15
Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught eight of his 11 targets for 114 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's loss against the Tennessee Titans. This was the first time the rookie eclipsed 100 marks in his young career, and he set a new single-game high in receiving yards.
Additionally, he has strung together touchdowns in back-to-back games for the first time as a pro. The 21-year-old ranks as a top-10 scoring tight end in fantasy football, and he continues to showcase a strong rapport with Shedeur Sanders. Fannin should be started as a mid-range TE1 in all leagues ahead of Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.
