Week 15 Waiver Wire Breakout Fantasy Football Pickups from Sunday's Box Scores

With fantasy league playoffs pictures taking shape, the importance of nailing a waiver wire pickup who can benefit a manager's team immediately or in a big moment can be the difference between playing for a championship or sitting out,m watching your league mates play for one.

Following eyebrow-raising performances in Week 14, these are a few players to keep an eye on when building the ideal lineup for Week 15.

Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams

The former Michigan Wolverine showed out in a Week 13 loss to Carolina, rushing seven times for 81 yards and a touchdown, good enough for a top 20 finish at his position.

He followed that performance up in Week 14 by scoring the first touchdown of the day for the Rams while splitting carries with star back Kyren Williams.

Since Week 7, Corum has seen his carries increase exponentially from the first half of the season, his role in the Rams' playoffs push growing with every passing week. That should be intriguing for managers who need help at the running back position.

Available in over 60 percent of leagues in both ESPN and Yahoo fantasy, he should be considered a must-add moving forward, especially as his scoring opportunities increase.

Ryan Flournoy, WR, Dallas Cowboys

When CeeDee Lamb went down with a concussion in Thursday's loss to the Detroit Lions, Flournoy stepped up and broke out, catching nine of 13 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown.

Through the early slate of Sunday's game, it was still good enough for the third best fantasy performance by a wide receiver in PPR leagues.

Twice this season, the 26-year-old out of Southeastern Missouri State has balled out, delivering triple-digit yardage. With Lamb's status for Week 15 as of yet unknown, and Dallas needing to pull out every offensive trick it has to win games and pray for playoff help, managers should not be surprised to see the young receiver featured more.

He is available in nearly all leagues.

Tony Pollard, RB, Tennessee Titans

Pollard has spent most of 2025 facing loaded fronts that have dared the Titans to throw the ball with rookie quarterback Cam Ward.

Despite double-digit carries in every game, Pollard failed to break double digit yardage. That changed Sunday against the best run defense in the league.

Against the Cleveland Browns, Pollard exploded, carrying 25 times for 161 and two touchdowns. It was his first rushing touchdown since October 5 against Arizona.

On the surface, the lack of yardage and touchdowns would be cause for concern from managers but it felt like Pollard rediscovered his burst and took over the game against a notoriously stingy Browns defense.

Managers in the thick of the playoff hunt, looking for help at a crucial position, should absolutely grab Pollard and at the very least, stash him. With nothing left to lose, do not be surprised to see the offense turn him loose and let him see if he can replicate his performance for the rest of the season.

He is not a typical waiver wire add given that he is rostered in 82 and 74 percent of ESPN and Yahoo fantasy leagues, respectively, but he is more than worth adding in those in which he is still available.
