NFL Week 15 Waiver Wire: Felix Jones and More Breakout Stars You Must Add

Now that the fantasy football playoffs have begun in most leagues, owners will need to make quick decisions on waiver wire players that might help their championship cause. Here are three players who should be added based on their breakout games in Week 14.

RB Felix Jones—Dallas Cowboys

Jones returned to a starting role on Sunday after DeMarco Murray went down with a serious ankle injury. He gained 137 total yards and looked to have some of his explosiveness back after it went missing earlier in the season.

He's going to be in line for heavy workloads over the next couple weeks, so the dual-threat option becomes a red-hot fantasy commodity in the nearly 30 percent of ESPN leagues where he's a free agent. Injuries are always a concern with Jones, but not a big enough one to avoid picking him up.

Week 15 Projection: 14 fantasy points

RB Marion Barber—Chicago Bears

The veteran proved he can still carry the load on Sunday. Barber toted the rock 27 times for 108 yards and a touchdown against an improving Denver Broncos defense. Since the Matt Forte injury situation is still murky, Barber should continue to be worth starting.

While his late fumbles against Denver might put him into the doghouse for a while, the Bears can't afford to play mind games for too long with their playoff hopes on the line. Look for Barber to get at least 20 touches again next week, this time against a Seattle Seahawks defense which will be on short rest.

Week 15 Projection: 11 fantasy points

WR Titus Young—Detroit Lions

Young continues to fly under the radar despite pretty consistent production over the past month. He has scored less than seven points just once since Week 8, including a 14-point outing against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

With teams continuing to focus their energy on Calvin Johnson, Young has been able to find a niche in the Lions offense. Detroit's running game is struggling to find consistency, so look for Matthew Stafford to go to the air early and often against the Raiders next week, which can only benefit Young.
