Fantasy Football Tight End Waiver Wire Targets for Week 15: Harold Fannin, Mike Gesicki, Juwan Johnson and More

After checking out some fantasy football waiver wire options at quarterback, let's do the same for tight ends going into week 15.

Check out fantasy football waiver wire targets all season on FantasySP. 

Should You Add Harold Fannin?

Fannin starred on Sunday despite the Browns losing to the Titans. He had 114 yards on eight receptions and 11 targets. Fannin scored one touchdown.

It was his best fantasy showing of the season, and second straight week with a touchdown. Fannin might be developing a connection with Shedeur Sanders, and that's a pairing that could help finally turn the Browns around one day.

Anyways, Fannin looks like a big-time fantasy asset down the stretch. Something else working in Fannin's favor is that David Njoku got banged up in week 14.

If Njoku is out, Fannin could really star in week 15. I already see the rookie tight end delivering down the stretch, so add Fannin before it's too late.

Should You Add Mike Gesicki?

Gesicki is TE2 going into the Monday night game. He had 86 yards and a score on six catches and targets against the Bills, who are a very tough matchup on tight ends.

Gesicki has just over 11 combined PPR points the past two weeks, so this outing really came out of nowhere. With Joe Burrow back, Gesicki has a chance to surprise any week though.

Unfortunately, Gesicki has a tough matchup coming against the Ravens, but again, he just delivered in a super tough matchup, so maybe Gesicki will surprise again in week 15. 

Because of the tough matchup coming, and limited fantasy success this season, I only like adding and playing Gesicki in deeper leagues in week 15. He's a better option than he was last week though, so that's something.

Should You Add Mason Taylor?

Taylor was solid in week 14 without the help of a touchdown. He had 51 yards on five receptions and eight targets.

That marked his first double-digit PPR outing since week 8, and he scored a touchdown that week to get there. Taylor has mostly underwhelmed most of the season.

The rookie tight end has had a golden opportunity to deliver, especially after Garrett Wilson went down with an injury, but like most of the Jets' offense, Taylor has been a below-average fantasy option.

Things are looking up for him though, at least coming off a good showing and going into a favorable matchup for week 15. He has the Jaguars next - Jacksonville is a top-five fantasy matchup for a tight end.

So the chance for Taylor to deliver again is there, but most are only going to trust him in deeper leagues for week 15. Definitely add him and then fire him up in some deeper setups.

Should You Add Dalton Kincaid or Dawson Knox?

Kincaid finally returned in week 14 for a super favorable matchup against the Bengals, but Knox ended up outperforming him.

Knox had 93 yards on six grabs and targets. Kincaid had 41 yards and a touchdown on four receptions and five targets. TE3 Jackson Hawes also scored a touchdown - the Bengals really cannot stop tight ends.

Anyways, Knox and Kincaid are in waiver wire pickup talks after their performances. Kincaid is the guy I like, and I think he reemerges as the clear TE1 down the stretch for the Bills. It's not crazy to think Knox could catch fire down the stretch too, because Buffalo is lacking proven wide receivers.

A week 15 matchup against New England sets up pretty well for Kincaid and Knox, so the chance for both to deliver a second straight week is there.

Again, Kincaid is the top TE priority in Buffalo, and I'd expect him to get back to 100% owned, and be starting in most leagues for that week 15 matchup.

Knox is a deep-league option, especially with another solid matchup on tap. It's a risk because he hasn't done a ton this season, but he's been involved enough of late to maybe give him a try in some deeper setups.

Should You Add Dalton Schultz?

Schultz underwhelmed in week 14, only catching three of his four targets for 22 yards.

It was his second single-digit outing over the past three weeks, but he'd been in a good groove before that.

The Cardinals are a favorable matchup for him in week 15, so I'm not ready to bail on Schultz. I see him as a very good deep-league starting option for the coming week, while being a standard league option too.

Don't overreact too much to his down performances in tougher tests the past couple weeks - I see Schultz bouncing back and delivering a good score in week 15 in a better matchup.

Should You Add Theo Johnson?

Johnson got to rest as the Giants were on a bye in week 14.

He returns to the field and has a stellar matchup coming against the Commanders. Back in week 1, Johnson had just a five-yard catch across three targets against Washington.

That was a long time ago, and the Giants' offense looks much different now. Johnson is more involved offensively, and that should remain the case in week 15.

I see Johnson as a good deep-league option for the coming week, while being a standard league asset too. If you need TE help, give Johnson a long look.

Should You Add Isaiah Likely?

Likely was at the center of another viral play on Sunday after he had a touchdown grab negated for not getting a third foot down in the end zone. He still had 25 yards and a touchdown on four receptions and six targets to deliver for fantasy owners.

He's TE2 to Mark Andrews, but Likely has back-to-back 12.5-point performances in PPR leagues. He and Andrews get the Bengals in week 15, so both could deliver a big-time fantasy score.

Andrews is owned in over 90% of leagues, so I'd suggest you look into Likely instead. 

Likely could score in double figures again, which gives him at least deep-league value. I think some will consider him in standard leagues too, as there's enough upside in the favorable matchup.

Should You Add Darren Waller?

Waller only had a 13-yard catch across three targets in week 14. He rushed once for four yards.

He will take on the Steelers in week 15. Pittsburgh is a stellar matchup for tight ends, so it's a chance for Waller to bounce back.

Like last week, Waller has deep-league value and standard league upside. If you are scrambling for a fantasy TE, Waller will probably be available in your league, especially coming off a dud performance.

Take advantage of that and fire him up in a better fantasy setup for week 15. 

Should You Add AJ Barner?

Barner went for just 27 yards on three grabs and four targets in week 14. Something else that works in his favor is that Elijah Arroyo got banged up, so Barner might be asked to do even more going forward.

The Colts are his week 15 matchup. Indy is another pretty favorable matchup, so Barner is set up to deliver big this coming week.

Barner should be scooped up and started in deeper leagues. The matchup is worth trying, and I think things will end favorably for him.

While Barner has the potential to deliver at a standard league level, I'd avoid him in those leagues.

Should You Add Juwan Johnson?

One final fantasy TE for you and it's one of my favorites this year, Johnson. He had 38 yards on four receptions and targets this past week.

That's his worst fantasy outing since week 6, and it's still a decent showing at a weak fantasy TE spot. I think Johnson has gone overlooked most of the season, and that means he should be available going into week 15.

He will be taking on the Panthers in week 15. Carolina is another above-average matchup, so Johnson could finish in the top 10 again.

When the teams last met in week 10, Johnson went off for 92 yards and a score on four catches and targets. That was his best fantasy outing of the season.

I could see Johnson producing at a similar level this week, so I love the idea of starting him in deeper leagues, and most standard leagues. He'll rank pretty highly for me, so you can scoop him up and expect big things by the end of week 15.
