Fantasy sports news, analysis, and waiver wire advice.

By Fantasy Roundup · December 9, 2025

Week 15 fantasy football is here, and the fantasy playoffs are officially underway. Injuries are piling up, depth charts are shifting, and teams are redefining roles at the worst possible time for unprepared managers. This is the stage of the season where sharp fantasy players gain a true edge — because the waiver wire matters more now than ever in fantasy football. The biggest mistakes happen right here: dropping the wrong bench stash, chasing a fluky box score, or overlooking a player whose role is about to blow up. To help you stay ahead of your league, here are the top waiver wire adds before Week 15 — the kind of pickups that can fuel your playoff push. Top Waiver Wire Running Backs Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams Roster % on ESPN: 22.1%Corum continues to get more work and is looking efficient every time he touches the ball. He’s the clear next man up behind Kyren, but more importantly, he’s beginning to carve out standalone value. In a late-season landscape where running back depth is everything, Corum is one of the best stashes available. If anything happens to Kyren, Corum instantly becomes a playoff-winning asset. Jaylen Wright, Miami Dolphins Roster % on ESPN: 1.8%If De'Von Achane were to miss any time, it appears this would be Jaylen Wright's backfield. Wright has the juice to fit the role, and he out-touched Ollie Gordon by a lot in week 14. Kyle Monangai, Chicago Bears Roster % on ESPN: 65.7%Monangai should not be on waivers. He continues to take on more backfield work and has earned weekly flex usability. His physical running style fits seamlessly with how the Bears want to operate offensively. If he’s available in your league, fix that immediately. Devin Neal, New Orleans Saints Roster % on ESPN: 56.1%Neal’s workload has been steady with Kamara’s situation unclear. While he’s not a massive upside swing, he’s exactly the type of reliable RB3/4 depth playoff teams need. If you’re dealing with injuries or bye-week gaps, Neal is a stabilizing option you can plug in right away. Top Waiver Wire Wide Receivers DeVaughn Vele, New Orleans Saints Roster % on ESPN: 8.5%A fast-rising name at the perfect time. Vele has quietly carved out meaningful usage and is becoming a trusted option in the intermediate and deep passing game. As New Orleans continues to search for consistent receiving weapons with a banged-up Chris Olave, Vele is trending up sharply. A strong stash with sneaky flex viability. Jayden Higgins, Houston Texans Roster % on ESPN: 39.7%Higgins is one of the best late-season breakout profiles in fantasy football right now. He’s consistently producing, showing strong chemistry with CJ Stroud, and firmly establishing himself as a high-volume intermediate and downfield option. Legit late-season riser who should not be treating waivers as home. Ryan Flournoy, Dallas Cowboys Roster % on ESPN: 0.4%If CeeDee Lamb were to miss in week 15, Ryan Flournoy is a must roster for one week. Flournoy has flashed in limited opportunities and he dominated in the team's starting lineup in week 14. Pat Bryant, Denver Broncos Roster % on ESPN: 2.6%I mentioned in a livestream in week 14 that Bryant is beginning to show chemistry with Bo Nix and is seeing increased snaps and routes. He’s still a deeper stash, but with the Broncos’ WR room moving Franklin to a more part-time role, he’s a sneaky late-season addition who could deliver usable flex weeks. Jayden Reed, Green Bay Packers Roster % on ESPN: 42.2%Reed should not be on waivers. Period. His versatility and explosiveness give him legitimate weekly WR2 upside whenever he’s on the field. His role will increase weekly at this point, and he has a real shot to be a league-winning add. Top Waiver Wire Tight Ends Colby Parkinson, Los Angeles Rams Roster % on ESPN: 6.2%Parkinson continues to gain involvement and is seeing meaningful red-zone looks. The Rams rotate tight ends, but Parkinson’s size and usage trends make him the most valuable of the group. A viable streaming option with touchdown upside. Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears Roster % on ESPN: 39.8%Loveland has become a reliable safety valve and is increasingly used in key situations. His floor is rising each week, and in this tight end landscape, that’s gold. A weekly TE streamer with legitimate TE1 upside on the right matchup. Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens Roster % on ESPN: 8.1%Likely is always one step away from relevance every time Mark Andrews is banged up — and when he steps into the starting role, he produces. Even in a secondary role, he’s involved enough to matter. In deeper leagues, Likely is one of the highest-upside TE stashes you can make. Ready to Win Your League Off the Waiver Wire? Championships aren’t won on draft day — they’re won right now. Every roster spot matters in Week 15. The best fantasy managers stay aggressive, stash breakouts early, and position themselves for the playoff run.
