If you haven’t yet clinched a playoff spot in your fantasy football league, you’re probably going to be sweating for the rest of the day on Sunday (and potentially Monday). If you’ve already clinched a spot, you’re already thinking about Week 15 and what your roster will look like for the first round of the playoffs. If you were lucky enough to get a bye, better yet, you’re taking anticipatory steps to shore up your roster for Week 16.
Either way, you’re here for a reason: you need fantasy football waiver advice. Let us give you some first things to keep in mind as we approach week 15.

Jaylen Wright, RB, Dolphins (2% listed on Yahoo)
It’s never easy to see one of the players who got you there fall. Miami RB De’Von Achane has been one of the best players in fantasy football in 2025 and there’s a good chance that backcourt managers have an eye toward the playoffs. Achane was injured before the end of the first half, exiting Week 14 against the Jets with a rib injury. We’ll need more information, but rib injuries for a position that takes a lot of hits are not ideal.
Wright returned from injury in Week 8, but has been little more than an insurance policy for Achane, providing little standalone fantasy value. He had eight carries for 31 yards and a score before Achane left Sunday. Wright would finish with 24 carries for 107 yards and a 16.7 fantasy point score. He also saw three targets.

If Achane misses for a while, Wright figures to get one of the most attractive roles for a RB in fantasy under Mike McDaniel. Wright is a staple in all formats with the potential to be bumped up to RB2 status (with RB1 upside) if Achane finds himself knocked out in Week 15 or beyond.
Ryan Flournoy, WR, Cowboys (1% on roster)
The Cowboys’ playoff hopes were fleeting after a 44-30 loss to the Lions at TNF in Week 14. Forced to play from behind, Dak Prescott finished with 376 passing yards, including 115 to Flournoy. Top player CeeDee Lamb left the game in the third quarter with a concussion and his status for Week 15 against the Vikings is unclear. If Lamb fails to clear protocol, Flournoy would see an uptick in snaps/targets on a team that we know loves to pass the ball. We also know that Flournoy is capable; returning in Week 5 with Lamb sidelined, he had six catches on nine targets for 114 yards (plus two carries for 10 yards).
Devin Singletary, RB, Giants (24% on roster)
The Giants had their bye in Week 14 and will look to finish what has been a disappointing season with some positives. The offense hasn’t had much to celebrate this season outside of Jaxson Dart, but the ground game didn’t look too bad last week against the Patriots. Singletary surpassed Tyrone Tracy Jr. with 12 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown, plus three catches for 34 yards. Singletary shouldn’t be on your radar at this point given his role on the goal line for New York. He has scored three rushing touchdowns in the last three games and has 42 carries in that span. The Giants will also enjoy a great matchup against the Commanders in Week 15 and face the Raiders in Week 17 (probably your league championship).

Harold Fannin Jr., TE, Browns (39% on roster)
The Browns offense has some juice with rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders (8% effective) under center and we saw what the passing game can be in Week 14 against the Titans. For most of the game, Cleveland was forced to punt and almost managed a comeback. Sanders finished with 364 yards and three touchdowns, with one of those scores going to Fannin, who finished with eight catches on 11 targets for 114 yards. His fantastic 21.4 points could allow him to become the overall TE1 of the week.. It’s also back-to-back games with Sanders in which Fannin has a TD. The rookie has potential for the rest of the season and is a great addition if you need a TE or depth at the position.
