RosterWatch Week 15 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet Now Available

Byron BylineBuilding a championship-caliber fantasy roster requires basic weekly waiver-wire management. We’ve created the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet so that in a just a few minutes a week, our users can make the same expert waiver maneuvers we personally make in our own leagues, throughout the season.

Whether you play in a standard waiver-claim format, or in a free-agent bidding system – we’ve got you covered. Read the chart top to bottom, and use it like the Draft Cheat Sheet. It’s not mandatory to go after the very top pick up every single week – use some basic discretion. Insane value can be cultivated through the bottom of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet over the course of the season.

All players listed on the WWCS are currently on the waiver wire in at least 50% of fantasy leagues across all major formats.

*Our advice is to recycle an average of 1-2 players per week from the bottom of your roster into hot waiver-wire pickups for the current week. This can be accomplished via waivers, or on the cheap as free-agent pickups post-waiver period .

    Drop Fournette, any of the waiver players above that I would wish to keep away from my opponents?
    Any WR waiver players above better than LAMB at this point?

    Thank you

      I think you should consider Higgins and Edwards

  2. ↓ Post By R A

    Made it to round 2. Full PPR. Would you start J Robinson vs Ravens or Kupp vs Jets? Also, any changes you’d make?

    QB: Herbert
    WR: Allen
    RB: Chubb
    Flex: AJB
    Flex: J Taylor
    Flex: Robinson or Kupp
    DEF: Ravens
    K: Sanders

    Bench;
    Evans
    Godwin
    Pittman
    Gaskin
    Bears D

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Boy, I think you have to consider Evans or Godwin this wk too. Probably Robinson as of this minute, but boy it’s hard to bench Kupp, Evans, Godwin in those matchups

  3. ↓ Post By jrcs851315

    If John Brown practices/plays this week, where would he fall on the sheet?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob a sport or two below Agholor and that crew at the top of tier 2

  4. ↓ Post By Bigmanmike

    Its on to round 2 of the playoffs and 3 of 4 my teams are still in the running. Thanks again RW. A have a few lineup few lineup questions…
    – I need a flex TY Hilton, Coutee, M Gordon, M Pittman, J Wilson, Agholor, C Hansen, Golladay if he plays.
    – Need 2 WR’s and a flex A Rob, Godwin, Parker, Connor, T Higgins, AB. J Wilson
    – I need 2 WR’s A Rob, Godwin, Parker, C Davis, M Pittman , AB and at TE Fant or Gronk.
    Thanks again.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      -Probably Hilton, maybe Gordon

      -Prob Robinson + Godwin + not sure yet

      -Same as above at this point, will have to examine the matchups and also consider Davis

  5. ↓ Post By Bselle

    Torn between between Herbert and Tannehill. Also picked up Carr as a defensive move.
    Who do like best? Leaning Tannehill but it could be a Henry day. Herbert has been on the downside lately.

  6. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

    Goodness, will be a close call like them both—will need to examine the matchup ratings and game totals. My inclination is Herbert

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob have to lean to Tannehill now w/ possible LAC WR injuries

  7. ↓ Post By cwink

    Can I trust Mike Gesicki to get me 10+ in PPR? Logan Thomas, Irv, Higbee among those available.

    Also, Big Ben vs Hurst?

    Plus need a Kicker – Gay, Carlson, Zuerlein, Badgley, Boswell, Gostkowski – among top options.

    Thanks guys. You’ve helped me crush this league and would love to keep going.

    Current starters – ARob, Ridley, Karma, Jacobs, James Robinson and Ty Hilton at Flexs with Cleveland D.

    Also have KeKe Coute if you think that’s a better flex2 over Hilton but I like what I have so far.

    Thanks again.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Gesicki is prob out this wk, and has a bad matchup anyway. I’d probably look at one of those other guys. I’d go Big Ben!

  8. ↓ Post By timraytx@yahoo.com

    DJ Moore just got upgraded from the COVID list to healthy. Where does this put him in your flex/WR rankings?

    For WR – I assume he falls behind my current starters Ridley and Woods.

    For flex – I assume he would be preferred over Claypool, Fournette, David Johnson and Goedert.

    Bonus question – any scoop on if Mixon comes back this week or next?

    1. ↓ Post By timraytx@yahoo.com

      Always forget to include PPR = 1pt

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Generally agree w/ you assessment on Moore’s value this wk. I think you could argue it’s close w/ Claypool or DJ.

      At 2-10-1, and a horrible matchup this week- I wouldn’t lose any sleep over Joe Mixon for this wk—- and I wouldn’t really bet on him next wk either, however since that is vs HOU— he’s a good guy to stash and keep away from your opponents

    Looking for a little help this week since LV plays on Thursday.

    Full point PPR, I need 1 RB and 1 Flex. I already have Dalvin locked and loaded.

    Taylor
    Jacobs
    Swift

    Appreciate any help you guys can give.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d go Taylor and Jacobs

      1. ↓ Post By DJ

        That’s what I had in there. Appreciate it!

  10. ↓ Post By Haydenb55@yahoo.com

    I have Aaron jones, Stefan diggs, tyreek hill locked in. I Need 1 RB and a Flex out of the following bunch.
    Chris Carson
    Cam Akers
    Calvin ridley
    J.K dobbins

    1. ↓ Post By Haydenb55@yahoo.com

      .5ppr

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d play Dobbins and choose b/t Ridley and Akers for the other.

  11. ↓ Post By team gooch

    Standard scoring. Starting RB Henry WRs Metcalf, Michael Thomas. Which 2 to play out of RBs-Ekeler(if he plays), Jacobs, Hunt, Dobbins, WR Diontae Johnson?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Great options-

      The obvious thing to probably do is start Ekeler and Jacobs– if you have a hunch on Dobbins I could see adding him to that mix and picking 2/3 of those guys.

      ALL HAIL KING HENRY

  12. ↓ Post By caswell3030@yahoo.com

    PPR league..
    Keenan allen or mckissic/gibson
    Im projected to win by 17..

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Prob McKissic

  13. ↓ Post By mccoley

    I need 2 of the following 3 in 1 pt ppr: Keenan Allen, TY Hilton, Cooper Kupp

    With Allen limited I’m leaning Kupp and Hilton

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Hilton and Kupp

    Championship Semifinal Game and wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for all your support and amazing tools my RW fellas! Thanks again as always Alex, Byron and Trashman!

    Now let’s get to the ship!

    Need to start 2 RBs and 1 FLEX here and need to decide today since Jacobs is playing tonight.

    Montgomery @MIN
    Jacobs vs. LAC
    Akers vs. NYJ
    Hunt vs. NYG
    Diontae Johnson @CIN
    Evans @ATL

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Probably Jacobs and Akers, then decide b/t Montgomery vs Evans

  15. ↓ Post By kcyates@hotmail.com

    Love your work guys! Watched Akers go off on my bye just want to make sure I’m not chasing points. He clearly has taken over that backfield right? I have to assume we like him more than J. Jacobs or Diontae Johnson for Flex in 12 tm PPR. (D. Cook and A Jones Starting RB).

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Don’t think I like him more than Jacobs this wk, but if you do I don’t hate it.

  16. ↓ Post By fasttimes

    Im stressing over QB. i have Herbert and Cam, but i hate playing a Thursday night qb. now with the WRs iffy im really second guessing

    waivers include
    Stafford (questionable)
    Goff
    Mayfield
    Rivers

    do i roll with herbert or grab one of those guys?

  17. ↓ Post By gurpindersdeol@gmail.com

    With DJ Moore back and Mike Williams out, would you go Tyron Johnson over Curtis Samuel? 0.5PPR.

    Also Gus Edwards over David Johnson or is that a little too cockamamie?!

    Thanks RosterWatch nation! Let’s get these dubs

  18. ↓ Post By DJ

    Up for another Chargers debate question? 1st plyoff rnd game in PPR league – I have Herbert, Allen, & Henry. Could pivot to Big Ben and DJ Moore, or Hurts and Johnson on wvrs. Hate the Thursday games…thanks for a great season…trying to take it to the finish line.

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      That’s a lot of eggs in the LAC basket, but I’m not sure I love your other options. Think I’d stand pat and pray. GL

  19. ↓ Post By Bselle

    With Allen and Williams most likely out tonight, would it be wise to start Tannehill over Herbert? Even though they are run oriented?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I’d start Tanny either way

  20. ↓ Post By toddwest

    I don’t see Mostert or Wilson in the rankings. I have Wilson, where would you put him if Mostert doesn’t play?

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      Wilson should be in there, we’ll update it but we’d like him a lot of Mostert is a no-go.

  21. ↓ Post By nicholsm430@comcast.net

    Need this as soon as possible please: Tough one here. If both K. Allen and M. Williams sit tonight do I use Tyrone Johnson or TY Hilton over the weekend? Thanks as always!!!

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      You don’t need that as soon as possible you need it when we have all the info. ;;) I wouldn’t have played Tyron over TY even if both those guys were out.

  22. ↓ Post By Big-Al

    With Gibson likely out, I need one for flex (standard):
    T Higgins
    J Williams (already have A Jones starting)
    S Watkins
    J Wilson Jr
    K Coutee

    Thanks!!

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      If Mostert is out, then Wilson. If he’s in, please check Trashman’s flex rankings for final answer.

  23. ↓ Post By FrankGrimes

    Boys cockamamie With Allen hurting would you Sit Herbert in 2QB league??
    Would start Hurts with Trubisky instead

    Also start 2 RBs: Sanders JRob Taylor or Dobbins??

    1. ↓ Post By Alex Dunlap

      I wouldn’t sit Herbert. Taylor and J Rob. GL Grimes and thanks for all the help in the comments. Lets get a W
