Week 15 in fantasy football is here, and if your team is still alive, it's time to pat yourself on the back. About half of the teams have been eliminated in most leagues now, so the water is rapidly rising. As such, you need to keep an eye on the waiver wire now more than ever, as one player that you miss that goes to your opponent could swing everything.

Keeping this in mind, Sportskeeda has compiled a list of priority fantasy football waiver wire additions to make this week. It is a relatively slow week on the waiver wire, but there might be a good fit for you somewhere on the list. Take a look.

Top Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickups

Waiver Wire RB adds for Week 15

1] Jaylen Wright, Miami Dolphins

Ad

Jaylen Wright is coming off the best fantasy football game of his career, compiling 107 yards and a touchdown against the New York Jets. The only reason he saw 24 carries in the contest was due to De'Von Achane's injury.

Ad

Achane is likely to be back in Week 15, based on comments from Mike McDaniel via a Sunday ESPN report, but Wright's production likely made an impression on Mike McDaniel. Add Wright in case Achane has a setback, or McDaniel continues to give significant carries to Wright in Week 15.

2] Ollie Gordon II, Miami Dolphins

Ollie Gordon II scored a touchdown against the New York Jets in Week 15, keeping him in play as a scoring-dependent option. If you're desperate for anyone with a chance to float you for a week, you could do worse than Gordon.

Gordon has scored a touchdown in two of his last three games, offering a significant chance to do so again.

3] Dylan Sampson, Cleveland Browns

Dylan Sampson has ascended in the young Shedeur Sanders era as a receiving back. The back has hauled in seven catches for 123 yards and a touchdown in his last three games and has sprinkled in some extra yards on the ground.

Ad

If you're desperate for a back to help float you for a week, Sampson at least should give you some hope for your fantasy football team heading into the next matchup as a low-level flex or desperation RB2.

Waiver Wire WR adds for Week 15

1] Kayshon Boutte, New England Patriots

Ad

Kayshon Boutte was one of the top waiver wire players of October, and he appears to be trending up once again in December. The receiver caught four passes on five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown against the New York Giants, reminding Drake Maye of his teammate going forward.

Ad

When it comes to waiver wire additions, it doesn't get much safer than Boutte. The New England Patriots play either suspect defenses or teams that will push Maye to air it out. Either way, there should be plenty of passes with some headed in Boutte's direction.

2] Ryan Flournoy, Dallas Cowboys

Ryan Flournoy has lived in the background behind George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb, but Dak Prescott found the third-string wide receiver against the Detroit Lions.

Fournoy had 13 targets, nine receptions, 115 yards and a touchdown. It was his second 100-yard performance of the season. If you want a receiver with boom potential and you don't trust one of your current receivers who has disappointed in recent weeks, you could do worse for your fantasy football team than adding Flournoy.

3] Darius Slayton, New York Giants

Darius Slayton saw his first touchdown of the season against the New England Patriots. As the team's second receiver, all it could take for Slayton to have a big day in the coming weeks is for Wan'Dale Robinson to meet his match in terms of double-teams or a lockdown cornerback.

Slayton has three seasons with at least 700 receiving yards, so if Jaxson Dart wants to test him in a future matchup, Slayton should be able to handle the workload.

Waiver Wire TE adds for Week 15

1] Theo Johnson, New York Giants

Theo Johnson is still available in more than half of leagues as the 13th-best tight end in half-PPR leagues. Johnson is coming off a contest in which he saw eight targets and has been a reliable option for Jaxson Dart earlier this season.

Ad

As such, expect Johnson to continue to see looks against the upcoming Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders over the next three weeks. Get your fantasy football team in on the ground floor.

2] Colby Parkinson, Los Angeles Rams

Colby Parkinson isn't Puka Nacua or Davante Adams, but when Matthew Stafford is throwing touchdowns left and right, there's enough for everyone. Parkinson has caught a touchdown in four of the last five games.

Ad

Such a run can't go on forever, especially with the Detroit Lions and Seattle Seahawks coming up. However, you could do worse for your fantasy football team than adding Parkinson.
