It is finally time to plan for your fantasy football playoffs, as your Week 15 waiver wire pickups are the most important of your fantasy season. With injuries to CeeDee Lamb, Jayden Daniels, Tee Higgins, and others impacting who is available, nailing your pickups this week is crucial.
The following list includes players rostered on 50 percent or more of ESPN rosters, as this week’s list focuses on potential game winners rather than depth pieces. Heading into the first week of the playoffs, try your best to find that final missing piece your roster needs to win your opening-round matchup.
1. RB Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams
22.1% Rostered
The Los Angeles Rams’ coaching staff seems to want to vary the workload between their top running backs to help save both for the postseason, and that came true between Kyren Williams and Blake Corum in Week 14.
Corum is the top player in the Week 15 waiver wire pickups, coming off a 128-yard rushing performance against the Arizona Cardinals, one that saw him score twice on the ground and outpace Williams. Look for him to continue to earn a solid workload that will have him sniffing RB2 territory.
2. RB Chris Rodriguez Jr., Washington Commanders
31.1% Rostered
While it might be tough to trust any player from this offense, the Washington Commanders continue to feature Chris Rodriguez as their top running back, ahead of Jeremy McNichols and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Rodriguez led the WAS backfield in their Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, earning 10 carries but not recording a reception.
His passing game work is tough to rely on, but a Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants offers Rodriguez a solid bounce-back opportunity for your fantasy football roster.
3. WR Jayden Higgins, Houston Texans
39.7% Rostered
The top receiver in the Week 15 waiver wire pickups is Houston’s Jayden Higgins, who continues to earn a WR2 workload alongside Nico Collins. It has been five consecutive weeks of seeing five-plus targets for Higgins, and up until Week 14, Higgins had recorded at least four receptions in four straight games.
The Texans face off against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 15, which gives Higgins a shot at offering FLEX value for your Week 15 matchups.
4. TE Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns
54.7% Rostered
Week 14 was Harold Fannin Jr.’s best showing of his NFL career, as he caught eight passes for 114 yards and a touchdown, clearly looking like Shedeur Sanders’ top target. The Cleveland passing attack is, to put it nicely, a work in progress, and Fannin looks to be the best pass catcher this team has.
SHEDEUR TO FANNIN. WOW

A Week 15 matchup with the Chicago Bears favors Fannin and this tight end group, so if he is available, add him to the top of your Week 15 waiver wire pickups if your...
