Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16

Congratulations on advancing to the semi-finals. Only the best of the best- or luckiest- teams make it this far. However, more untimely injuries complicate rosters in this penultimate week. FullTime Fantasy‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 16 breaks down all the players you should ahead of your semi-final matchup.

Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings – Chandler was our top add last week and came up huge, posting the best game of the season for any Minnesota running back with his 157-yard performance. If somehow Chandler slipped through the cracks and is still available, do whatever it takes to add him to your roster.

Noah Brown (WR) Houston Texans – Brown led Houston’s depleted receiving corps in snaps (66) and posted a massive 32.4% target share. Even when Nico Collins returns, Brown is cemented into a solid role with a Texans offense that will have C.J. Stroud back under center. Subsequently, he has WR3 value for the remainder of the season.

Justice Hill (RB) Baltimore Ravens – With Keaton Mitchell’s season over, Hill should…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 15

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 15

Easton Stick vs. Aidan O’Connell. This is, uh…., not what we signed up for. After 14 up-and-down Thursday contests, this week’s offering is the NFL version of going through the motions. It is what it is. Regardless, the FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 15 breaks down this week’s contest from a fantasy and sports betting perspective.

After losing Justin Herbert for the rest of the season, the Chargers are now riding out the clock. A new regime now seems inevitable for Los Angeles. Additionally, Easton Stick will make his first NFL start on streaming TV against an equally moribund Raiders franchise.

As for Vegas, they hit rock bottom last week, losing their third consecutive game by a paltry 3-0 score. Both teams sit at 5-8 in the mediocre AFC West.

However, on the bright side, there’s no way these two teams will score fewer points than last week. Right?

The Chargers opened as 3-point favorites. However, when news of Herbert’s season-ending injury hit, the line shifted oppositely. Las Vegas now stands as a field-goal favorite. Conversely, the total plummeted 8.5 points from its opening of 42.

Matchup 

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
Los Angeles Chargers 17 10 26 14 16
Las Vegas Raiders 29 22 32 26 28

Both of these teams have faced more than their fair share of adversity.

Brandon Staley faces a lot of scrutiny as the Chargers have been one of the most under-achieving teams in the AFC. The addition of offensive coordinator Keelen Moore from Dallas has not panned out as expected. The Chargers have been an average offense that will surely plummet without Herbert under center.

Meanwhile, the Raiders have a brief resurgence under interim head coach Antonio Pierce. However, after three consecutive defeats with three total touchdowns scored, that success is a distant memory.

Las Vegas has rushed for an NFL-worst 1,048 yards. A struggling offensive line plays a big part in the struggles. But making matters worse, the Raiders will be without star RB Josh Jacobs, who will miss this game with a quad injury.

Las Vegas Offense

Further hampering the offense is QB Aidan O’Connell. The fourth-round rookie has thrown just four touchdowns in seven games…

How will Thursday’s Chargers vs. Raiders game go?

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 15

Congratulations on persevering through a challenging 2023 regular season and making the playoffs! It’s now do or die, with FAAB no longer applicable. However, more costly injuries have undoubtedly derailed many championship hopefuls. Our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 15 will help you identify the players to add ahead of the first round.

Also, a friendly reminder there are three Saturday games this week, in addition to Thursday Night Football.

D’Onta Foreman (RB) Chicago Bears – Returning from a two-game absence, Foreman dominated touches and playing time out of Chicago’s backfield. Foreman rushed 11 times for 50 yards while Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert combined to accumulate 14 yards on four totes. For now, it looks like Foreman is Chicago’s lead back. And that makes him quite fantasy-releveant where he can be added on the fantasy football waiver wire: Week 15.

Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings – It looks like Alexander Mattison is poised to miss some time with an ankle injury. That will put Chandler in a position to…
