10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 16
Mike Wallace has a superb matchup against the Colts in Week 16, making him a worthwhile waiver add. Who else should you target on the waiver wire this week?

Mike Wallace, WR, Baltimore Ravens

The Baltimore Ravens have not been an exciting team for fantasy purposes this season, and with single-digit receiving yards in four of his first seven games, Mike Wallace quickly fell of fantasy radars.

But things have really picked up for Wallace over the second half of the fantasy season. He has at least 7 targets in four of his last six games -- topping 50 yards four times, posting double-digit fantasy points in five of those games, and averaging 7.5 targets, 4.5 receptions, 66.7 yards and 0.3 touchdowns per game in that span. His 20% market share of targets and 36% share of air yards in that time are also both team-high clips.

Wallace draws a terrific matchup to cap off the fantasy season as he will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 16. The Colts came into Week 15 ranked last against the pass, per our metrics, and they didn't do much to improve their numbers, managing to give up 249 yards and 2 touchdowns to the combination of Brock Osweiler and Trevor Siemian.

Indy also came into Week 15 allowing top-five fantasy production to opposing wideouts, so this is about as good of a matchup as there is for Wallace, who could be a title-winning play in Week 16.
