Week 16 Waiver Wire Targets & Week 15 Injury Updates
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. Written by Duke Deming 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. Points Allowed|Depth Charts|YTD Points Scored|Rankings

All 10 Circa Survivor Entries Advance: Week 15 Recap
All 10 Circa Survivor Entries Back The Heavy Chalk and Advance: Week 15 Recap Jaguars, 49ers & Eagles Win By A Combined Margin of 116-44 Resulting In Stress-Free Slate – Picks, Results, and Strategy Insights From The Week That Was Written by Frank Taddeo @RespectedMoney on X After back-to-back weeks of mass eliminations, the remaining 10 contestants enjoyed a stress-free slate, backing three double-digit favored teams that won by a combined margin of 116-44. Jaguars Dominate Jets The five contestants who backed Jacksonville to extend their winning streak over the hapless Jets were rewarded with a start-to-finish 48-20 victory. The Jaguars, who closed as 12-point home favorites, enjoyed a record-setting performance by Trevor Lawrence, who became the only player in NFL history with 5+ pass TDs, 1+ rush TD, and 50+ rush yards in a single game. Watch the highlight: View on X Eagles Shutout Raiders The two entrants who saved the Eagles until Week 15 were handed the biggest blowout of the slate as Philadelphia blanked the Raiders, 31-0. The 14-point home favored ‘Birds, who posted their first shutout since 2018, held a disastrous Raiders offense to a historic low of only 75 total yards—the fewest yards allowed in a game in the Super Bowl era. Watch the highlight: View on X 49ers Roll Over Titans Finally, the three players who used San Francisco as 13-point home favorites over Tennessee enjoyed a wire-to-wire 37-24 victory in the late-afternoon window. Fresh off their bye, Brock Purdy and the 49ers looked dominant, opening up a 21-point lead on the strength of scoring on each of their first five possessions. Watch the highlights: View on X Contest Update & Season Trends The 10 remaining players, who are each in ownership of an entry with an estimated value of $1,871,800, still have to make four more correct selections as Circa’s Survivor contest makes Christmas Day its own week. View update on X On the week, favorites went 10-6 Straight-up (SU) as well as 9-7 Against the Spread (ATS). Overall, favorites maintain a sizable 146-72-1 SU (4 pick-ems) mark, while ‘dogs hold a 110-108-1 ATS (50.5%) advantage on the year. Home teams hold a 119-97-1 SU (55.1%) advantage with 7 neutral-site International games, while also owning the more coveted 113-104 ATS (52.1%) edge. For the second straight week, games were higher scoring than the oddsmakers predicted with Overs posting a 10-6 mark. Overs now hold 116-106-2 (52.3%) lead on the season. The Circa Survivor contest is a grueling contest which forces entrants to pick one winner every week, with no spread, with one pivotal caveat: Entrants CAN NOT use the same team more than once during the course of the season. Circa Survivor, which requires a $1,000 entry fee, will once again be a massive sweat for those who run deep into the season due to the massive winner-take-all prize pool. As for the look-ahead to the Week 16 slate, it is expected that: Houston (-14) vs Las Vegas, Buffalo (-10) at Cleveland and Detroit (-7) vs Pittsburgh – will be among the most heavily chosen teams among the 10 players remaining in the contest.

Each week, I spotlight undervalued gems from waivers or benches, proven by FullTime Fantasy’s Week 6 success, winning $26,331.41 by combining our projections with Vegas data. Let’s dive into the Week 15 targets! TOP PLAYER PROP TARGETS Trevor Lawrence INT – NO (-125 BetMGM) – There have been 270 interceptions in the NFL this season – 0 by the New York Jets in 2025 – Jags being 14-pt favs could limit pass attempts as Jacksonville leans heavily on the run-game with a sizeable lead Patrick Mahomes OVER 19.5 Rush Yds (BetMGM) – Mahomes has surpassed this demand in 9 of 13 games (69.2%) this season – Loves to run MORE at home – eclipsing this number in 6 of 7 home games (PHI 66; BAL 5; DET 32; LVR 28; WSH 30; IND 30; HOU 59) Top Anytime Touchdown Values By The Projections WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba +100 (BetMGM) – Fulltime Projection: 1.00 (100%) – Fantasy Football’s overall WR1 in PPR formats, faces a favorable matchup in Week 15 against a Colts defense that has allowed 13 total touchdowns to opposing wideouts this season. JSN, who ranks 1st in Receiving Yards (1,428), 1st in Target Share (35.7%), 1st in Air Yards (1,459), 1st in Deep Targets (23) is tied for second with 9 Receiving Touchdowns, including 4 over his last 3 games. RB TreVeyon Henderson +110 (DraftKings) – Fulltime Projection: 0.75 (75%) – The Patriots’ talented running back finds a plus-matchup in Week 15 against a Bills defense that has surrendered the most rushing touchdowns (18) to opposing running backs this season. In a game with serious AFC Playoff seeding implications on the line, it’s imperative to invest in a player who has 472 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards and 5 touchdowns over his last 6 games. Top Anytime Touchdown Moonshots That Could Lead To Glory WR Jauan Jennings +200 (BetMGM) – Fulltime Projection: 0.54 (54%) – Jennings, who has quietly scored a touchdown in 4 of his last 5 games, encounters a Titans defense that has allowed 14 Receiving Touchdowns to opposing wideouts this year. Since Week 9, Purdy’s top wideout owns a 21.2% target share (5+ targets in every game), averaging 49.2 receiving yards per game. Over that same span, Tennessee has struggled containing perimeter wide receivers. As I often say, the juice is worth the squeeze! TE Isaiah Likely +240 (BetMGM) – Fulltime Projection: 0.50 (50%) – From a fantasy perspective, Likely is a top tight end streamer on Sunday drawing a vulnerable Bengals defense that is allowing the Most Fantasy Points to opposing TEs this season while also surrendering a league-high 15 touchdowns to the position. The fourth-year TE has drawn a season-high 6 targets in consecutive games and my model likes both Mark Andrews (+145) and Likely to find paydirt. However, let’s invest in the player with better odds!

Week 15 Start/Sit
Week 15 Start Sit: Your Fantasy Playoff Game Plan by Adam Krautwurst Maximize Your Lineup as the Fantasy Playoffs Heat Up! Written by Adam Krautwurst Week 15 has arrived, and with the fantasy playoffs in full swing, the margin for error is gone. Lineups are tightening, injuries are mounting, and every Week 15 start sit decision could determine your season’s fate. Here’s a strategic breakdown of the players you can trust this week—and those who might derail your playoff run! Start: Players to Power Your Week 15 Start Sit Lineup Quarterback Jaxson Dart (NYG) Dart stumbled in his first outing without Brian Daboll, posting just 13.56 fantasy points—his lowest as a starter. However, he confirmed he won’t cut back on running, averaging 21.7 points as a starter. Washington ranks top five in passing yards, touchdowns, and fantasy points surrendered to QBs, recently allowing J.J. McCarthy three scores. Dart is a strong Week 15 start sit play. Brock Purdy (SF) Purdy’s season has been uneven with eight missed games, but Week 15 offers a turnaround. Tennessee, eighth in fantasy points yielded to QBs, saw Shedeur Sanders drop 39.5 points last week. Six of the last seven QBs against them cleared 21.7 points. Purdy is a top-tier Week 15 start sit option at home. Check QB rankings. Running Back Woody Marks (HOU) With Nick Chubb sidelined by a rib injury and missing practice, Marks dominated Week 14 with 89% of snaps and 28 touches. If Chubb stays out, Marks faces Arizona, which has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to RBs, including 142 rushing yards and 10 TDs over five games. A mid-range RB2 for Week 15 start sit. See RB depth. RJ Harvey (DEN) Since J.K. Dobbins’ season-ending injury, Harvey has played 60% of snaps, handled two-thirds of rushes, and led in routes/targets, topping 21 fantasy points in two straight games. Green Bay’s defense has softened, allowing the sixth-most rushing yards since Week 6. A league-winning Week 15 start sit candidate. Tyrone Tracy Jr. (NYG) Tracy, on track after a Week 13 hip injury, recorded 16+ PPR points in two straight games with 23 touches each. He splits work with Devin Singletary (a viable flex) against Washington, which has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to RBs. A solid Week 15 start sit option. View RB rankings. Wide Receiver Jauan Jennings (SF) Jennings thrives with San Francisco’s high point total projection. Tennessee collapsed defensively last week, and Jennings leads the 49ers’ receivers with a 25% target share, averaging 12.8 PPR points since Week 11 with two straight TDs. A must-start for Week 15 start sit. Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG) Robinson has averaged 10.6 targets and 14.9 fantasy points since November, facing Washington, which ranks among the most generous defenses to WRs. Ideal for slot targets, he’s a strong Week 15 start sit pick. Explore WR rankings. Tight End Dalton Kincaid (BUF) Back from a three-game absence, Kincaid caught four passes for 41 yards and a TD in Week 14, hitting 14.1+ PPR points in five of nine healthy games. New England, ninth in fantasy points allowed to TEs, makes him a top-10 Week 15 start sit option. Mark Andrews & Isaiah Likely (BAL) Cincinnati has surrendered the most catches, yards, TDs, and fantasy points to TEs. Both shined in their last meeting, with Likely slightly outpacing Andrews recently. Start both for Week 15 start sit dominance. See TE rankings. Sit: Players to Avoid in Week 15 Quarterback Jacoby Brissett (ARI) Brissett has topped 20.7 fantasy points in eight straight games, but Houston has allowed the fewest QB points this season, holding Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes to 8.1 or fewer. Risky for Week 15 start sit in single-QB formats. Justin Herbert (LAC) Herbert hasn’t finished top 12 since Week 9, with low yardage (81, 151, 139) in three games. His injured hand and a porous O-line face Kansas City’s pass rush. Avoid for Week 15 start sit unless no alternatives exist. Check QB injuries. Running Back Breece Hall (NYJ) Breece Hall remains a boom-or-bust RB2 with both elite upside and a low floor. He has already posted six single-digit fantasy efforts this year and was bottled up in Week 14 despite a favorable matchup. Even more concerning, he saw only one target. Jacksonville poses one of the league’s toughest tests, allowing the fewest rushing yards to running backs and smothering pass-catching specialists over the last five games. If Brady Cook starts for the Jets, the offense could stall even further. Start Hall only if you lack a stronger option. Kareem Hunt (KC) Hunt has become almost entirely touchdown-dependent, and the Chargers have allowed only four rushing scores to running backs since Week 7. Hunt scored in Week 14 but still managed just 9.0 PPR points, totaling 30 rushing yards and failing to make an impact as a receiver. Kansas City’s offensive line problems add more risk. Hunt can be used as a flex based on his recent touchdown streak, but any game without a score likely sinks him. Wide Receiver Christian Watson (GB) Christian Watson will likely draw Patrick Surtain II, and Denver has allowed only five receiver touchdowns all season. Watson has found the end zone five times over his last four games, but he has also been held under 60 yards in four of seven outings since returning from his ACL tear and has been held to five or fewer targets five times. Limit expectations and treat him as a three-receiver-league play only. Courtland Sutton (DEN) Courtland Sutton has cooled off considerably. After averaging 13.2 PPR points through Week 9, he has dropped to 11.2 per game since Week 10. His only top-24 finish in that stretch came against Washington — a very favorable matchup — and he has struggled whenever facing strong pass defenses. Green Bay has allowed only one wideout to surpass 70 yards since Week 8 and ranks near the top of the league in limiting receiver production. Sutton is a tough sell this week. Tight End Orande

Riley Leonard stepped in at quarterback after Jones left the game, signaling a major shift for the Colts’ offense. Geno Smith (QB – LV) Exited early with a shoulder injury but did not return. Early tests are promising, with the injury deemed non-serious, and he’s expected to start in Week 15. Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS) Re-injured his left elbow and did not return. His Week 15 status is questionable, with Marcus Mariota poised to start if Daniels is sidelined. De’Von Achane (RB – MIA) Left the game with a rib injury and did not return. Fortunately, Achane appears to have avoided a serious issue and has a strong chance to play in Week 15. Nick Chubb (RB – HOU) Exited early with a rib injury and was held out for the remainder of the game. Woody Marks will see an elevated role if Chubb is unable to play in Week 15. Explore RB depth. CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) Suffered a concussion and did not return. Lamb has received a positive progression report, but his Week 15 status remains uncertain. Rome Odunze (WR – CHI) Inactive in Week 14 due to a foot injury. The injury is not considered long-term, giving him a solid chance to return next week. See WR injury updates. Zach Ertz (TE – BUF) Suffered a serious injury believed to be a torn ACL. Ertz will almost certainly miss the remainder of the season, opening opportunities for others. Week 15 Waiver Wire Radar 1. Devin Neal (RB – NO) With Alvin Kamara missing the last two games and unlikely to return soon, Neal seized the moment. He posted 19 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 14, making him a must-add. Find premium matchups. 2. Jaylen Wright (RB – MIA) Stepped up with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown after De’Von Achane’s injury. Wright is a prime pickup if Achane misses more time. 3.

Though behind Kyren Williams, Corum’s recent output makes him a fantasy-relevant option. Check RB rankings. 4. Jayden Reed (WR – GB) Returned from injured reserve after missing time since Week 2. Reed’s high-upside role in the Green Bay offense makes him a valuable waiver target for Week 15 waiver wire and injuries strategies. Explore WR rankings. 5. Harold Fannin Jr. (TE – CLE) Continues to shine with 8 catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in Week 14. Fannin Jr. is a rising star at tight end, perfect for addressing Week 15 waiver wire and injuries gaps. See TE rankings. 6. Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU) Had a quiet Week 14 (3 catches for 22 yards), but his season-long stats rank him top 10 among tight ends in receptions and receiving yards, making him a reliable add for Week 15 waiver wire and injuries planning. 7. Shedeur Sanders (QB – CLE) Burst onto the scene with 364 passing yards, three touchdowns, 29 rushing yards, and a rushing score.

Week 14 DraftKings DFS Sunday Main Slate Breakdown
Week 14 DraftKings Main Slate DFS Breakdown Optimal Picks, Stacks, and Lineups for Week 14 Written by Adam Krautwurst Week 14 delivers one of the most condensed DFS landscapes of the season, with the Sims pointing to clear positional priorities and roster construction trends. This is a slate where RB chalk is unavoidable, mid-range WRs carry the highest median projection, and value QBs unlock nearly every optimal build. If you build around these structural trends, you’re already ahead of most of the field. Quarterback Strategy Top Ceiling — Josh Allen Allen is the only QB on the slate with true separation in ceiling projection. Even without double-stacking, his rushing role and TD equity make him a standalone tournament winner. The Sims prefer pairing him with: – Chris Olave – Tre Tucker – A cheap TE (Barner / Johnson) This keeps salary balanced while capturing Allen’s ceiling. Top Values — Mayfield & Darnold – Baker Mayfield — Ideal in balanced, RB-heavy builds. – Sam Darnold — Shows up in multiple optimal stack combinations, especially with JSN. – Marcus Mariota is a sneaky hybrid play, bringing rushing upside at a low salary. Running Back Breakdown This slate is defined by two absolute core plays: – Aaron Jones Sr. — Slate’s Most Important Play Jones is essentially mandatory. His role, matchup, and price combination make him the top value on the entire slate. – Josh Jacobs — RB2 With Massive Exposure Combines elite usage with touchdown equity. One of the safest and highest-ceiling RBs on the slate. Mid-Tier RBs with Strong Projection These help differentiate builds without sacrificing median points: – Bucky Irving – James Cook III Top Leverage RB – Kenneth Walker III — Strong GPP pivot who correlates well with Darnold + JSN stacks. Wide Receiver Pool Ceiling WR — Ja’Marr Chase True ceiling in a possible shootout game. Strongest Mid-Tier Play — Michael Wilson A reliable WR with elite target share and a clean fit in almost any lineup construction. Salary Smoothers – Jaxon Smith-Njigba – Romeo Doubs – Tre Tucker These players appear frequently as secondary stack pieces or flexible salary fillers. High-Ceiling WRs for Lineup Differentiation – Jaylen Waddle – Puka Nacua Tight End Overview A condensed TE slate with three clear paths: – ✔️ AJ Barner — Best Value Cheap and widely used to open salary for studs. – ✔️ Brock Bowers — Premium Option When lineups fade a top WR, Bowers becomes the best ceiling replacement. – ✔️ Mid-Range Consistency – Juwan Johnson – Cade Otton – Harold Fannin Jr. (sneaky value) If Dalton Kincaid plays then jam him in!!
