Welcome to the Week 15 edition of The Wire Report for the 2021 NFL season. In this article I’ll be highlighting some of the top players that should still be available in your season long leagues.

As week 15 should be the first week of the playoffs in many leagues, the waiver wires are almost bare of production players at this point. That said, there are a few out there that can help
Below are my top waiver wire targets:
Rashaad Penny – Running Back – Seattle Seahawks (8.6% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
What a week for Rashaad Penny. Penny finished up week 14 with 16 carries and 137 rushing. He also found the end zone twice. This now makes it back to back weeks where Penny had double digit carries. Heading into a matchup against the Rams in Week 15 Pete Carrol should start to lean on Penny even more, especially if he’s going to average more than 8.5 yards per carry like he did on Sunday.
Nico Collins – Wide Receiver – Houston Texans (1.2% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
Was this the breakout week for Nico Collins? Going into week 14 Collins hadn’t had more than 6 targets in any given week. On Sunday Mills targeted him 10 times and he was able to catch 5 of them for 69 yards. With the Texans season all but done and a week 15 matchup vs. the Jaguars, could the Texans finally give Collins a real look? I think they do and if you need a receiver this weekend, Collins should excel in an easy matchup.
Tyler Huntley – Quarterback – Baltimore Ravens (.3% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
This is 100% reliant on Lamar Jackson missing this weekend so you’ll need to monitor through the end of the week. Huntley actually looked like a better QB this weekend than Jackson. He ran better, threw better, he just doesn’t have the name recognition that Jackson has. Should Jackson miss the week 15 matchup vs. the Packers, Huntley should be able to fill in admirably and get you multiple stats.
Devanta Parker – Wide Receiver – Miami Dolphins (50.2% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
With a week 15 matchup vs. the New York Jets, I want to try to grab any pieces from the Dolphins offense as I can. Parker comes to the top of the list as he’s available in half of ESPN leagues. In his first game since week 8 against the Bills, Parker caught all 5 targets for 62 yards. While we would have loved to see more than just 5 targets out of him, my hope is that they wanted him to get his feet wet in his first game back and the looks will be there this week.
Ty Johnson – Running Back – New York Jets (26% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
Ty Johnson only had 6 carries this weekend, but he had we really coveted. Johnson was targeted 7 times this weekend. It was his most targets since week 10 vs. Buffalo and it was the third time this year he had at least 7 targets. With Elijah Moore on injured reserve there are more passes to go around and Johnson was a big beneficiary of it. Look for Johnson to play an important role in the Jets offense in Week 15.
Gabriel Davis – Wide Receiver – Buffalo Bills (2.5% Rostered in ESPN Leagues)
This is another pickup that is 100% reliant on injury news. Should Emmanuel Sanders miss week 15 we have to love the spot for Davis. Once Sanders went down Davis took on a bigger role in the offense. Davis was targeted 8 times on Sunday and was able to coral 5 of them for 43 yards. Keep an eye on Sanders status throughout the week and if he’s ruled out, Davis makes for a great pickup.
