If you did, indeed, make the playoffs, then it is time to prepare for the stretch run. Unless you have a first-round bye, every week is considered a must-win week. You need to make the right decisions each week to ensure you move forward. Win three in a row and you will hoist the championship hardware.
There are no more bye weeks, unless, as mentioned above, you finished first with your fantasy team earning a bye. There are injuries aplenty, so make sure you work the waiver wire each week. Do not stop your activity once waivers run overnight. You need to keep an eye on all dropped players in case another manager makes a mistake. Those mistakes are magnified during the final three weeks of the season. Put your top lineup out there versus trying to get cute. You should only consider streaming DST at this point with all other positions being accounted for.

WAIVERS:
ADD OF THE WEEK = Ryan Flournoy – 1% rostered grabs the top slot for a couple reasons. The first is CeeDee Lamb being in concussion protocol. The second is Flournoy stepping up each time Lamb has missed time. The third is the Cowboys love to throw the football. The fourth being George Pickens should see the CB1 if Lamb sits. And the fifth, and final reason, is the Dallas defense cannot stop a nosebleed so will throw early and often will their slim playoff hopes in the balance.
QB: I like Jacoby Brissett – 61% rostered but not so much this week based on the tough matchup. Consider leaning into Marcus Mariota – 8% rostered with both Tyler Shough – 8% rostered and Shedeur Sanders – 8% rostered deserving some consideration.
RB: Blake Corum – 33% rostered put up big numbers in Week 14, but do not get fooled by the output. Corum is still splitting reps, at best, with Kyren Williams. In a Week 15 matchup against Detroit, I do not foresee the Rams being so far out in front that they can rest Williams whilst allowing Corum to carry the garbage time load. This is the playoffs. Know everything about the player you are adding, and considering starting, before you run him out there.
Honorable Mention/Cheaper Options:
Zonovan “Bam” Knight – 37% rostered is the starter in Arizona. I do not see that changing as Trey Benson seems no closer to playing than he did when he first hit the IR. Matchup is tough in Week 15, so be cautiously optimistic with Knight. We want volume and Knight is providing that, with scoring potential.
Devin Singletary – 25% rostered is the sneaky, on the down low add for Week 15 with his smash matchup against the Commanders brutal defense. Word is Tyrone Tracy will be back this week, but Singletary outpaced Tracy even before Tracy left Week 13 banged up. Singletary looked to be more explosive and was gaining momentum even prior to Tracy’s injury.
Luther Burden III – 17% rostered is the name to roster in Chicago. DJ Moore ended Week 14 with one catch for minus four yards. You read that right…minus four yards. Burden is a YAC guy and the Bears will need to throw in Week 15 to keep their playoff aspirations alive.
Honorable Mention/Cheaper Options:
Jayden Higgins – 36% rostered has separated as the clear WR2 alongside Nico Collins for the Texans. With C.J. Stroud back at QB, Higgins should continue to thrive in an offense that is clearly challenged in the running aspect of offense. The targets kept coming in Week 14, so ride the wave.
Christian Watson – 54% rostered is proving to be the WR1 in Green Bay as is evident by his team leading 10 targets against Detroit and two TDs against the team from Chicago. Temper expectations for Week 15 as Watson may see Patrick Surtain for most of the game. That is not a recipe for success.
TE: Harold Fannin Jr. – 40% rostered needs to be the only TE consideration unless other managers have made big mistakes. Fannin appears to have the best of rapports with S. Sanders, so keep hope alive that Cleveland players can help you win a game or two or THREE!
