Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 15 w/ Sigmund Bloom (Ep. 629)

The fantasy semifinals are upon us! We're joined by Sigmund Bloom of Footballguys.com to break down the week's top waiver pickups. Is a soft Dallas defense enough of a reason for fantasy managers to trust Jeff Wilson (8:03) even though he's stuck in a timeshare with Raheem Mostert? Has James Washington (26:32) surpassed Chase Claypool (30:16) in the pecking order, why is Jalen Hurts (36:59) worth snatching off waivers even if you have better options, and is the Washington DST (47:25) actually a sneaky good option against Seattle? The trio ends the episode with a round of Drop or Keep (49:44) and we examine whether it's time to cut Michael Pittman (51:07), the Bills' RBs (52:40), and Tyler Lockett (55:49) among many others.
