10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 15

Matt Jones, RB, Washington Redskins

ESPN Ownership: 53.8%
Yahoo! Ownership: 45%

It seems as though every few weeks Matt Jones manages to find his way onto this list. Though Jones has had flashes of brilliance in his rookie season with a few big games throughout the year, his fantasy football ownership seems fluctuate due to his inconsistent playing time.

But while Jones' 86 total yards on 20 touches (including 64 yards on 18 carries) this week against the Bears' 32nd-ranked run defense isn't exactly a game-breaking number, his 18 rush attempts in each of the two weeks does suggest that he's finally surpassed Alfred Morris on the depth chart for good.

A talented three-down back (Jones' 0.96 Reception NEP per target is the best mark among all tailbacks with at least 15 targets), the Redskins' rookie tailback should finally get a chance to showcase these talents fully as the season comes to a close in Washington.

With Jones, relatively fresh with just 152 combined carries and receptions on the season, dominating the backfield in touches and going up against the Bills, Eagles, and Cowboys and their 29th-, 22nd-, and 26th-ranked rushing defenses to end the year, he may have a few big games up his sleeve before season's end.
