We’ll provide fantasy football picks for these players from the waiver wire for week 15: Donovan Peoples-Jones, DJ Chark, Elijah Moore, and Chris Moore are among the performers.
Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Football Week 15: Donovan Peoples-Jones, DJ Chark, Elijah Moore and Chris Moore
UPDATE (DEC. 18): Peoples-Jones had four receptions on four targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens’ 13-3 victory on Saturday.
Donovan People-Jones has appeared on this list several times, but he takes the top spot yet again because he not only had eight catches for 114 yards on Sunday, but he also played a career-high 100% of the snaps.
Amari Cooper is injured, and People-Jones could be Deshaun Watson’s new go-to guy for a playoff schedule that is one of the easiest for wide receivers left (BAL, NO, WSH)

- DJ Chark
Chark was our top claim last week, and boy, did he pay off!
In a week with six teams on bye, his seven catches for 94 yards and a touchdown helped decide some fantasy football playoff teams. If he’s gone, it’s time to stake your claim, as the last few weeks do not appear to be a fluke. For the past three games, Chark has played more than 80% of the snaps and runs the same number of routes as Amon-Ra St. Brown.
His upcoming schedule is also favorable, with a matchup against Chicago in Week 17 of the fantasy football championship. If Chark is not available, Jameson Williams is a good option in deeper leagues.
- Elijah Moore
The Jets wide receivers have a nice schedule for the fantasy playoffs, with Detroit, Jacksonville, and Seattle all ahead. Mike White or Joe Flacco will start, and Elijah Moore could be a good addition.
On Sunday, the talented wideout had a season-high ten targets and six catches. He saw two more targets than Garret Wilson while running 47 routes.
Corey Davis is injured, and Elijah Moore will be in the flex conversation for your playoff run as long as Zach Wilson isn’t starting.

- Chris Moore
UPDATE (DEC. 18): Moore is expected to be among the Texans’ top pass catchers against the Chiefs on Sunday, with Brandin Cooks (calf) and Nico Collins (foot) out for the second straight game.
With Brandin Cooks and Nico Collins out, Chris Moore took over as the primary receiver against Dallas on Sunday. He was targeted eleven times and played the same amount of snaps as Phillip Dorsett.
When Nico Collins returns, he will most likely be the top receiver, so if he is available, take him first. The Houston Texans will have to pass a lot in their final three games of the season, as they face Kansas City, Tennessee, and Jacksonville. Amari Rodgers could also be worth a dart throw in deep leagues.
