Waiver wire & trending
Who to add, who to drop, and whether we agree with the crowd. We can't see your league, so "available" means outside the range a typical 12-team league rosters at that position.

Week 15 waiver wire: Tyler Huntley (QB, BAL), Darius Cooper (WR, PHI) and Antonio Williams (WR, WAS) top our pickups.
