Week 15 Fantasy Football Playlist Advice, Waiver Targets, and Assembly Tips

The Fantasy Football playoffs are here. The post-season starts in week 15, and if you’re reading this, your team has probably made it to the playoffs, so congratulations. While the ultimate goal is to win the Fantasy Football Super Bowl, advancing to the playoffs is a remarkable achievement. It took several weeks to prepare the draft, implement the draft itself, and then take 14 weeks to continuously manage the list and composition to get to this point. Your playoff spot was sure to be earned. So not sure that progress is very possible.

At this point in the season, the starting core of the Fantasy team is well established. The swing weeks are also over. So while the abandon moves are still very necessary, the list of free agents is thinner and we are no longer looking for players to hide. We also want to take a different approach to waivers in some cases. It’s time to clear your roster of players who will never fit comfortably in the opening lineup when needed or who don’t have a real chance to get off your bench. It also makes sense to be aggressive in a free agency to block your opponent.

When starting the playoffs, you need to make sure there is quality depth behind the beginners on the Fantasy list. The first moves that need to be made, if possible, are to immediately list NFL backups of your starting players so you don’t have to rush to a free agent in the event of an injury. Running backs like Samaje Perine, Marlon Mack and Ronald Jones are important additions. Also, make sure you have a quality backup advocate and a tight head that can be triggered in case of injury to anticipated starters. It is recommended that you have at least one “insurance” player for injury in QB and TE, and the rest of your bench may consist of a backup RB and a WR.

Of course, each list is unique, and these are just guidelines for adjusting to the start of the playoffs. Some teams may have such good depth in the RB that their current reserves are not cut candidates. In other cases, high-quality QB2 options have been available in the waiver thread throughout the season. However, the end goal is the same to ensure that proper alternatives are available in case of injury or the need for continuous streaming anywhere outside the starting points.

During the regular season, when dealing with bye weeks, the focus is only on your own list when making waiver moves. But in the playoffs, all possible steps must be taken to ensure winnings. This includes preventing your opponent from letting certain players into free agency if possible. After reviewing your list of opponents, if you see that he or she has a blatant need for WR, for example, consider using the primary waiver requirement or offering a healthy amount to get the WR they may need next week. Your own list needs should always be a priority, but if taking a potentially desired player or required option away from an opponent can improve your future prospects, do so.

In the first round, the farewell Fantasy players have achieved a great achievement. In fantasy football, bye will take you most of the game to one end of your league’s Super Bowl. It serves as a very important transfer to one of the three post-season rounds. Once you’ve gotten rid of this week, look for your players on their game days for the upcoming 16 games of the week. The outlook for some of your players is sure to change over the coming week, even if your Fantasy team is technically “off” for a week.
