Week 16 Waiver Wire Targets & Week 15 Injury Updates

FullTime Fantasy reviews the injury report from Week 15 and highlights the top waiver wire targets for Week 16 of fantasy football.

Week 15 Injury Report

Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC)
Suffered torn ACL and LCL, and will miss the rest of the season. Mahomes will attempt to recover before the start of the 2026 season.

Bhayshul Tuten (RB – JAX)
Left game early with a finger injury and will require surgery. Tuten is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, and Travis Etienne will take on an increased role during his absence.

Woody Marks (RB – HOU)
Exited game early with an ankle injury and did not return. Marks is questionable to play in Week 16, and we will monitor his progression during the week.

RJ Harvey (RB – DEN)
Picked up a rib injury at the end of Week 15. His current status for next week is unknown, but it is worth noting that Denver claimed Cody Schrader off the waivers on Monday.

Devin Neal (RB – NO)
Left early with a hamstring strain and did not return. Due to the level of injury, Neal is not expected to suit up for Week 16.

Davante Adams (WR – LAR)
Aggravated his hamstring injury and left the game early. The Rams play on Thursday night in Week 16, which will make it very difficult for Adams to recover in time to play.

Christian Watson (WR – GB)
Suffered a SC Joint Sprain in his left shoulder. Watson was taken to the hospital where he received clean reports, but he is expected to be sidelined for at least one week.

Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF)
Re-aggravated the PCL sprain that has been bothering him all season. He has not been ruled out for Week 16 yet, but it appears that there is a good chance he will not play.

Week 16 Waiver Wire Radar

1. Jayden Reed (WR – GB)
Led the Packers with 55 receiving yards in Week 15. If Christian Watson is ruled out for Week 16, Reed will see an increased role in the passing game.

2. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB – WAS)
Posted 18 carries for 96 yards and a touchdown in Week 15. If Chris Rodriguez Jr. misses another week, Croskey-Merritt should have another solid fantasy performance.

3. Jawhar Jordan (RB – HOU)
Received 15 carries for 101 yards on the ground, and added 2 catches for 17 yards through the air. If Woody Marks is unable to go in Week 16, Jordan will see a big role in the Houston backfield.

4. C.J. Stroud (QB – HOU)
Had an impressive performance in Week 15 with 260 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. Stroud looks to continue his hot streak against the Raiders this week.

5. Darren Waller (TE – MIA)
Posted his best performance of the year with 7 catches, 66 yards, and two touchdowns in Week 15. Waller should continue to see a big role in the Dolphins’ offense.

6. Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU)
Continues to see increased usage in the Houston offense. In Week 15, Schultz had 8 catches for 76 yards and a touchdown.

7. Colby Parkinson (TE – LAR)
Continues to benefit from the absence of Tyler Higbee. Parkinson hauled in 5 receptions for 75 yards and two touchdowns. He has now scored six touchdowns over the last six weeks.
