Week 15 Waiver Wire Strategy
Week 15 brings a rare cluster of seven‑game schedules, giving fantasy managers a chance to stack lineups with high‑volume players. Teams that can guarantee multiple starts are especially attractive, and the data shows a handful of clubs that fit the bill perfectly.
The Rockies and Mariners stand out as the most compelling targets. Mickey Moniak returns to full health and will lead off when the Rockies face right‑handed starters, while TJ Rumfield has been crushing the ball since June 1, posting five homers and a .318 average. Dominic Canzone mirrors that production with his own five‑homer burst, and Cole Young adds a borderline deep‑league spark with three June homers and a .273 average. Cole Carrigg is also seeing regular time in center field and shows modest power, and speedster Henry Bolte boasts an OBP above .385, making him a medium‑to‑deep format pickup.
Other clubs with seven games this week include the Reds, Guardians, White Sox, Dodgers, Marlins, Brewers and Pirates. Luke Raley has been cold lately, but the volume of at‑bats could revive his production, while the aforementioned Rockies and Mariners provide a cascade of streaming options. The depth of matchups means that even secondary hitters can see a boost in fantasy value.
Deep‑league considerations point to Heriberto Hernández, who has logged six homers and a .239 average since June 1, and Lars Nootbaar, whose .360 BABIP and .294 batting average make him a priority in deeper formats. Max Muncy continues to barrel the ball and lift it into the air, offering a stream in deeper leagues where power is at a premium.
