Priority Pickups
Roschon Johnson
CHI - RB
Owned
8%
SITUATION:
D'Andre Swift dealing with groin injury, Johnson saw increased carries and goal-line work
🤖 AI ANALYSIS:
**Roschon Johnson (CHI RB) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickup** 1. **Why Add?** With D’Andre Swift (groin) banged up, Johnson saw 10 carries (season-high 50% snap share) and a goal-line TD in Week 14. Chicago’s backfield is fluid, but Johnson’s power profile gives him standalone flex appeal if Swift misses time. 2. **FAAB:** **8-12%** (higher if Swift is ruled out). 3. **ROS Outlook:** Moderate upside. Even if Swift plays, Johnson’s role is growing, but Chicago’s offense limits ceiling. Playoff schedule (@CLE, vs. ARI, vs. ATL) is middling—CLE is tough, but ARI/ATL are exploitable. 4.
Jalen Tolbert
DAL - WR
Owned
12%
SITUATION:
Consistent target share with Dak Prescott, red zone usage increasing
🤖 AI ANALYSIS:
**Jalen Tolbert (DAL WR) - Week 15 Waiver Wire Pickup** **Why Add?** Tolbert has seen 5+ targets in 3 straight games, with a TD in Week 14. Dak Prescott’s trust is growing, and Dallas’ pass-heavy offense (No. 1 in PPG) creates upside. With defenses keying on CeeDee Lamb, Tolbert benefits as the No. 3 WR. **FAAB Bid:** 5-8% (higher in deeper leagues). **Playoff Outlook:** Solid WR4/flex with WR3 upside. Dallas has a pass-friendly schedule (BUF, MIA, DET) and Tolbert’s red-zone role (3 targets inside the 20 last 2 weeks) adds TD potential. **Matchup Edge:** Week 15 vs.
Tyler Conklin
NYJ - TE
Owned
15%
SITUATION:
Aaron Rodgers favorite target in red zone, consistent snap count
🤖 AI ANALYSIS:
**Tyler Conklin (NYJ TE) - Week 15 Waiver Analysis** 1. **Why Add?** Rodgers’ trust in Conklin is growing (15 targets last 3 games, 2 TDs). With Garrett Wilson drawing heavy coverage, Conklin’s red-zone role (team-high 5 end-zone targets since Week 12) is valuable. 2. **FAAB:** 8-12% (TE-needy teams). Volume is there, but Jets’ offense caps ceiling. 3. **ROS Outlook:** Top-12 TE upside. Jets face MIA (29th vs. TE), CLE (middling), and NE (3rd vs. TE—fade Week 17). Best for Weeks 15-16. 4. **Matchup:** Miami allows 7.1 FPPG to
Audric Estime
DEN - RB
Owned
5%
SITUATION:
Rookie showing potential, could benefit from increased opportunity
🤖 AI ANALYSIS:
**Audric Estime (DEN RB) - Week 15 Waiver Analysis** **Why Add?** Estime, a rookie, is a physical runner with upside if Javonte Williams (questionable, knee) misses time. Denver’s run-heavy approach (4th in rush attempts) boosts his appeal. **FAAB:** 5-10% (high-risk stash with RB2 potential if Williams sits). **ROS Outlook:** Favorable playoff schedule (DET Week 15, NE Week 16, LAC Week 17). DET allows 4.6 YPC (6th-most), and LAC is bottom-10 vs. RBs. **Matchup Edge:** If Williams is out, Estime could see goal-line work vs. DET’s shaky run D.
