Fantasy Football: Seven Week 15 Waiver Pickups To Carry You To A Fantasy Championship

Welcome to the Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups! These are the free agents you want to target if your roster is in need of some help. Let's kick ass in the playoffs!

QB Trevor Siemian, TEN

If you're still playing in Week 15, you're likely set at quarterback. Week 14 was a brutal week for quarterbacks, and some of the top quarterbacks have difficult matchups in Week 15 too. Siemian is a solid streaming option. The Broncos running game is awful, and Siemian will have to pass a lot again against the Patriots. Siemian went 35-for-51 for 334 yards and a touchdown against the Titans. Siemian has multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games and has two excellent receivers in Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. The Patriots haven't been a dominant defense and have allowed eight touchdowns passes in the last four games against the Seahawks, 49ers, Jets and Rams.

RB Kenneth Farrow, ---

Melvin Gordon was carted off the field with a hip injury on Sunday and is going for an MRI. The reports indicate the injury wasn't that bad, but test results will tell the story. The Chargers don't have anything to play for, and Gordon has received a huge workload. It won't be surprising if they sit Gordon the final three weeks. If that's the case, Farrow will be the lead back. He had 16 carries for 55 yards and caught six passes for 23 yards. Volume is extremely important in fantasy and Farrow will get it if Gordon is out. The Chargers play the Raiders in Week 15 and the Browns in Week 16. Those are two favorable matchups, so even if you don't need Farrow, block your opponents.

RB Justin Forsett, ---

The Broncos have apparently soured on Devontae Booker. Kapri Bibbs was beginning to get more touches and his season ended last week with an ankle injury. The Broncos signed Forsett, who played with the Ravens and Lions this season. He didn't look great, but he's very familiar with the offense since he played under Gary Kubiak. Forsett played three fewer snaps than Booker in Week 14 but had more touches. Forsett had six carries for 17 yards and three catches for 18 yards, while Booker had three carries for one yard and two catches for 10 yards.

RB Ty Montgomery, ---

Montgomery has some eligibility at running back depending on the league software. He led the Packers backfield in snaps in Week 14. He had nine carries for 41 yards and scored a touchdown and caught three passes for 45 yards. The Packers offense is rolling, and it appears that Montgomery is the preferred option out of the backfield. Christine Michael had ten carries for 36 yards, and James Starks had two carries for three yards. Montgomery played 30 snaps, Michael played 17, and Starks played seven.

RB Bilal Powell, ---

Matt Forte left Sunday's game with a knee injury and was ruled out for the game very quickly. Forte said there was cracking and popping in his knee. The Jets play on Saturday against the Dolphins. We don't know Forte's status just yet, but with nothing to play for, the Jets will likely be very cautious with Forte. Powell led teams to fantasy titles last season in the final few weeks, and it could happen again if Forte is out. It will lead to a big workload for Powell. While it was against the 49ers putrid defense, Powell had 29 carries for 145 yards with two touchdowns and caught all five of his targets for 34 yards.

WR Robbie Chosen, WAS

It's clear who the preferred target is for Bryce Petty, and it's Anderson. Petty loves to take shots downfield to Anderson, and he continued to do so in Week 14. Anderson had a team-high 11 targets and caught six passes for 99 yards and had two carries for 12 yards. In Week 13, Anderson caught four passes for 61 yards with a touchdown on 12 targets.

TE Jermaine Gresham, ---

Gresham isn't the most exciting option, and he doesn't have a high ceiling. If you're struggling at tight end in a deeper league, he's a solid option. He has at least seven points in PPR formats in five straight games. He has at least six targets in four of the last five games. Gresham had five catches for 45 yards on seven targets in Week 14.
