The former first-round pick is finally playing up to his draft stock in <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tennessee<\/a>, and Week 14 might have been his best week yet. Facing off against an overmatched Oakland Raiders secondary, Tannehill recorded 391 passing yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. He entered Week 14 as the QB6 since Week 7, and he\u2019ll probably be even better after this latest outing. Not only is Tannehill a perfect stream against the Houston Texans, but you should leave him in your lineup for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<h3>Derek Carr<\/h3>\n<p>Derek Carr didn\u2019t play well in Week 14, but he finished the night with a solid stat line, and that\u2019s all that matters for fantasy. The former second-round pick ended his day with 263 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. This is a perfectly solid stat line for a quarterback stream, and he should easily meet or exceed those numbers in Week 15. Carr and company face off against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that just got destroyed by the previously-struggling Los Angeles Chargers. This unit simply isn\u2019t the same without <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/R\/RamsJa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jalen Ramsey<\/a><\/strong> and Carr has a chance to finish as a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2. Either way, it\u2019s production you can be happy with from the waiver wire.<\/p>\n<h3>Drew Lock<\/h3>\n<p>Is Drew Lock the real deal? It\u2019s too early to know for sure, but the second-round rookie sure looks good so far. Lock had one of the best performances of the week, completing 22 of 27 attempts for 309 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception. This comes one week after he posted 134 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in his NFL debut. Trusting Drew Lock is certainly dangerous, but he should be able to rack up yardage in Week 15 against Kansas City. Whether it\u2019s part of a natural shootout or just garbage time, Lock should finish the week with a high yardage total and a couple of touchdowns.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Week 15 Waiver Wire Claims &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2019\/12\/08\/fantasy-football-week-15-running-back-waiver-wire-claims-raheem-mostert-adrian-peterson\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Running Back<\/a> &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2019\/12\/08\/fantasy-football-wide-receiver-week-15-waiver-wire-claims-a-j-brown-isaiah-ford\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wide Receiver<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2019\/12\/08\/fantasy-football-week-15-quarterback-waiver-wire-claims-ryan-tannehill-derek-carr\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quarterback<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2019\/12\/08\/fantasy-football-week-15-tight-end-waiver-wire-claims-hayden-hurst-ian-thomas-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tight End<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonprofootball.com\/2019\/12\/08\/fantasy-football-week-15-defense-waiver-wire-streams\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Defense<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Main photo:<br \/>\n<a id=\"P7EsT_YTTUh1ImCSNkoWxQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1192754072\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'P7EsT_YTTUh1ImCSNkoWxQ',sig:'ruDzpTLqkulzEhfRfWVuHTJX8ER6jtG9wCdZZAfA4is=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1192754072',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Football Week 15 Quarterback Waiver Wire Claims: Ryan Tannehill and Derek Carr are two of the best quarterback streams for the fantasy playoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2376,"featured_media":77577,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,54],"tags":[231,4069,294,61,730,40,814],"class_list":["post-77576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","category-editorials","tag-derek-carr","tag-drew-lock","tag-fantasy-football","tag-football","tag-jalen-ramsey","tag-nfl","tag-ryan-tannehill"],"modified_by":"David Latham, Managing Editor","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2376"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=77576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/77576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/77577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=77576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=77576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=77576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
