Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Ty Chandler (MIN): 22% rostered

• Next Opponents: @CIN, DET, GB
• True value: $16
• Desperate need: $26
• Budget-minded: $8

Analysis: I’ve been preaching the Chandler gospel all season, but there’s finally an opening in the clouds for the second-year running back from North Carolina. Alexander Mattison left Sunday’s game with an ankle injury that could knock him out for multiple weeks. Chandler has been the better of the two anyway, even after a modest performance in Sunday’s 3-0 snoozer in Vegas. Chandler gets a favorable Week 15 matchup against a Cincinnati run defense that ranks 29th in DVOA. Here’s your chance to roster a potential league-winning flex play.

Odell Beckham Jr. (BAL): 41% rostered

• Next Opponents: @JAX, @SF, MIA
• True value: $4
• Desperate need: $8
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Beckham Jr. was clutch for fantasy managers last week with a 23.2% target share, 97 receiving yards and a score. He played 54% of the Ravens’ offensive snaps, his highest snap count since Week 8. Beckham is getting healthy and shining during crunch-time. Against Jacksonville in Week 15, he could be the flex/WR3 play who helps put your team over the top. Since Week 8, the Jaguars have allowed the most PPR points per target and the 10th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).

Jake Browning (CIN): 27% rostered

• Next Opponents: MIN, @PIT, @KC
• True value: $4
• Desperate need: $7
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: What more do you need to see? The most decorated high school quarterback and winningest QB in Pac-12 history is also highly successful in the NFL. Browning was sharp again in Week 14 and has now scored 52.36 fantasy points in his last two starts. For at least one more week – a date with the Vikings – he remains a viable streamer with both a stable floor and QB1 ceiling.

Cade Otton (TB): 38% rostered

• Next Opponents: @GB, JAX, NO
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $6
• Budget-minded: $2

Analysis: Otton is THE tight end streaming option who could carry you through the fantasy playoffs. Otton has been a consistent name in this article all season and could cap the 2023 season with three strong outings. In Week 15, he faces the Packers, who have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game and the most yards per reception to tight ends. In Week 16, Otton can destroy the Jaguars, who have given up the ninth-most receiving yards per game and the second-most yards per reception to the position. In Week 17, he caps the season with the Saints, who have surrendered the seventh-most fantasy points per game and the most receiving touchdowns per game. It’s a beautiful fantasy playoff schedule.
