Week 16 Waivers

Here are 5 players who can add an immediate boost to your championship hopes … in two minutes or less.

QB: C.J. Stroud (HOU)

Available in 48.3% of leagues

C.J. Stroud is peaking at the exact right time, coming off his sharpest performance of the season with Houston surging into December.

• Threw for 260 yards and three TDs in Week 15

• Texans did not punt until the fourth quarter

• Gets a home matchup vs Raiders in Week 16

Houston is rolling behind efficient quarterback play, and Stroud’s recent form gives him a high floor for anyone needing a steady playoff QB.

RB: Jawhar Jordan (HOU)

Available in >99% of leagues

Jawhar Jordan went from practice squad afterthought to lead back in one week — and the usage was real.

• 15 carries for 101 yards in Week 15

• Led Houston RBs with 28 snaps

• Became the early-down back after Woody Marks exited

If Marks can’t go again, Jordan walks into a meaningful role against the Raiders, making him one of the clearest volume-based RB adds of the week.

RB: Michael Carter (ARI)

Available in 90.9% of leagues

Michael Carter quietly became Arizona’s every-down back when the depth chart collapsed around him.

• Played 49 of 62 snaps in Week 15

• Logged 18 touches for 94 total yards

• Clearly ahead of Emari Demercado in usage

Against a Falcons defense that allows RB production, Carter’s role alone gives him FLEX viability in a week where touches matter more than talent.

WR: David Sills V (ATL)

Available in more than 99% of leagues

David Sills stepped directly into volume when Atlanta needed a receiver, and Kirk Cousins trusted him.

• 10 targets in Week 15

• Finished with 6 catches for 78 yards

• Converted a key fourth-down catch late

As long as Drake London remains out, Sills is firmly on the radar against an Arizona defense that’s struggled for weeks.

TE: Colby Parkinson (LAR)

Available in 89.9% of leagues

Colby Parkinson’s role has stabilized since Tyler Higbee went to IR, and the matchup only sweetens it.

• 64 yards and a TD on six targets in Week 15

• Has multiple touchdowns over the last few weeks

• Faces a defense allowing top-tier TE production

Attached to a high-scoring Rams offense, Parkinson offers both volume and touchdown paths for managers stuck at tight end.

So that’s the list. Players you can add and rely on in Week 16 to get you to the fantasy promised land… as promised, in 2 minutes or less.
