2015 NFL Fantasy Football Week 14: Waiver Wire Pickups

If you are reading this your team has probably made the playoffs, so congratulations!   This is the time to get a backup QB, backup kicker, backup tight end as well as an handcuffs.  Here I will throw out a few names that could be relevant for your playoff run;

QB

  • Jacksonville Jaguars QB Blake Bortles: He is now a QB1.
  • Kansas City Chiefs QB Alex Smith:  He has been nothing but solid and he has an upcoming schedule that is great.
  • Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Jameis Winston:  He is just rolling along, a great emergency guy to stash.

RB

  • Philadelphia Eagles RB Ryan Matthews:  He is coming back this week and the spot is there for him to take.
  • New England Patriots RB James White:  I do not think I have the guts to plays him in playoffs but if you are a gambling guy, go for it.
  • New York Jets RB .Bilal Powell:  This is for PPR as he continues to split snaps and get 10 plus targets per week.

WR

  • Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin: He is now the WR10 in standard leagues for the season
  • Miami Dolphins WR Devonte Parker:  He is getting 90% of the snaps and is getting better and better.
  • Pittsburgh Steelers WR Marcus Wheaton:  He is now at least a WR3 with the way the Steelers are moving the ball through the air.

TE

  • San Francisco 49ers TE Vance McDonald:  He got banged up last week but worth an add as an emergency option.

Defense

  • Detroit Lions:  Go against the Rams offense every week.
  • Buffalo Bills:  I still have doubts about this Eagles offense.
  • San Francisco 49ers:  Who knows what is going to happen with Johnny Football.
Best of luck and I hope you all win in your playoff game!
