Emerging from that Week 15 with a fantasy football playoff victory took immense skills or luck. Either way, consider yourself fortunate if you were able to navigate that slate and move on to Week 16.

To win one more, you’ll likely need reinforcement after last week’s debacle. Here are some of the key fantasy football free agents to target heading into the semi-finals.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Ronald Jones (RB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (65% FAAB) – This is what you saved up some of your FAAB for. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) expected to miss the remainder of the fantasy season, Jones is now in prime position to see 15 touches for a Bucs’ offense that should be motivated to rebound quickly against the Panthers. Jones isn’t much of a receiver but looked more explosive as a runner Sunday night. View Jones as a locked-in Weekly RB2 moving forward and try to add him everywhere you can.

Duke Johnson (RB) Miami Dolphins (40% FAAB) –

Urban Meyer finally getting dismissed isn’t the only positive thing for football fans this Thursday. For a change, we get an excellent matchup on Thursday Night Football with two playoff teams armed with high-scoring offensive capabilities.

While the Chiefs aren’t putting up their normal numbers, Kansas City enters this showdown in the midst of a six-game winning streak. The Chiefs still have the NFL’s No. 4 overall offense but it’s the defense that has really stepped up over the last month to vault Kansas City back up the AFC playoff standings.

The Chargers have won 3-of-4 and have also racked up 37-plus points in those three victories. These two rivals met back in Week 3 at Arrowhead with the Chargers coming away with a 30-24 victory. Will the Chargers be able to win at home and sweep their AFC West nemesis or will the red-hot Chiefs extend their winning streak and even the series?

Congratulations on making it to the fantasy football postseason. Undoubtedly, proactive waiver wire choices were a big help in that achievement, especially in a season as wild as 2021.

Now that we’re in do-or-die mode, each remaining FAAB dollar is more valuable than ever. Let’s take a look at some of the key free agents ahead of Week 15 and figure out how much of that remaining budget we should use.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget 

Rashaad Penny (RB) Seattle Seahawks (40% FAAB) – The talent has always been there but Penny has always struggled to stay healthy. Week 14 delivered on that skillset as Penny took lead back duties for the Seahawks and turned 35 snaps into 17 touches, 138 yards, and two scores. With Adrian Peterson inactive and Alex Collins playing just 14 snaps, Penny is poised to be a real difference-maker while healthy and is worth a substantial FAAB bid.

D’Onta Foreman (RB) Tennessee Titans (10% FAAB) – Tennessee continues to trot out a two or three-man backfield but Foreman appears to be the easy choice in fantasy formats. Even though he was out-snapped by Dontrell Hilliard and Jeremy McNichols…
