Week 14 is in the books, and if you’re lucky enough you’ve made it to your fantasy league’s playoffs. Making sure you maximise the waiver wire at this point is key to separating yourself from the competition. These are the players you should be targeting ahead of Week 15.
Running back
Chase Brown, Cincinnati Bengals – Brown has been getting more involved in the Bengals’ offense over the last two weeks and had a bumper performance in Week 14. He finished with 19.5 points, with 105 scrimmage yards on his 11 touches. Don’t be surprised if this role increases down the stretch.
Ty Chandler, Minnesota Vikings – Alexander Mattison was forced out of the Vikings’ win over the Raiders with an ankle injury, with Chandler taking over as Minnesota’s lead back. He could well be in for an increased workload next week against the Bengals, and looks set to start if Mattison misses any time.
Wide receiver
Odell Beckham Jr, Baltimore Ravens – Beckham was excellent against the Rams in Week 14. Though he only made four catches he took them for 97 yards and a touchdown. He also earned 10 targets and finished as WR7. Beckham has now scored double digit points in four of his last five games.
Noah Brown, Houston Texans – Yes, Brown just logged his second straight game with no catches. That said, Tank Dell is out for the season and it now looks like Nico Collins could miss time. Brown is still earning targets and looks like the Texans’ de facto WR1 heading into Week 15. Even with Stroud questionable he is worth an add.
Tight end
Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens – Likely has filled in well for Mark Andrews and clearly benefits from a good connection with Lamar Jackson. The second-year tight end has earned 13 targets in the last two games and had 83 yards and a touchdown in Week 14.
Gerald Everett, Los Angeles Chargers – Everett feels like a pretty safe pair of hands at a position where they are in short supply. He has now scored double digit points in each of his last three games, with a season-high eight targets in Week 14 against the Broncos.
Quarterback
Jake Browning, Cincinnati Bengals – Browning has surprised plenty of people by leading the Bengals to two wins in his three starts. He has also proven himself to be a very competent fantasy starter, with back-to-back QB4 finishes. He is well worth an add down the stretch.
