Week 15 of the 2022 NFL season is over. And what a week of football it was!
If you play fantasy football, you’re already planning ahead with waivers after a busy week of games, especially because in many leagues, THE PLAYOFFS ARE STARTING OR CONTINUING!
That’s what we’re here for, a roundup of some of the players you could be targeting ahead of Week 16.
Some of the names below might be taken already, but if not, there are a bunch of dudes who could change your fantasy fortunes. Let’s run through them, in no particular order, and we’ve updated it after the Green Bay Packers and Los Angeles Rams played on Monday Night Football.
1
RB Zack Moss, Indianapolis Colts
It looks like Jonathan Taylor will miss the rest of the season, and it was the ex-Bill who got the majority of the carries after Taylor went down (24 to Deon Jackson’s 13, although Jackson did score).
So, yeah: You know what to do, even though the Colts’ offense stinks.

RB Deon Jackson, Indianapolis Colts
Hey, 13 carries and a touchdown is nothing to sneeze at! Plus, if Moss gets injured, he’s next man up.
3
RB Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons
My guess is he was picked up earlier in the year, but if not? His Week 15 performance means he’s very, very relevant right now.
4
RB Royce Freeman, Houston Texans
We’ve been here before with Freeman. And someone has to carry the ball for the Texans now that Dameon Pierce is out for the year. It turned out to be Freeman, who averaged 4.6 ypc on Sunday. Not terrible!
The answer to which Texans running back would step up in Dameon Pierce's absence was none
Royce Freeman led them with 6.6 fantasy points

WR Noah Brown, Dallas Cowboys
Is he WR2 behind CeeDee Lamb? He was on Sunday, getting nine targets and catching six of them including two touchdowns.
Intriguing enough to warrant a pickup even if he’ll sit on your bench in the playoffs.
6
WR K.J. Osborn, Minnesota Vikings
SIXTEEN targets this week for 157 yards and a score. Not sure if that repeats, but again: You’ll want to pick him up to see if this is a late-season trend.
7
QB Brock Purdy, San Francisco 49ers
He’s pretty good! If you need a streamer for the playoffs, here you go.
