Fantasy Football Week 15 Waiver Wire: D/ST options to consider streaming

It's Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season and you're likely into the fantasy football playoffs in your league — or on the verge of the postseason. If that's the case and you're reading this, you're in need of a defense to stream in matchup. Here are some good options via Justin Boone's weekly waiver wire column.

Jaguars vs. Jets: Jacksonville is an excellent streaming option for Week 15 for your matchup. Not only have the Jaguars performed well, posting at least seven fantasy points in each of the past five games, but also have a great matchup vs. the Jets. New York is allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season and might be starting their third-string QB.

Cowboys vs. Vikings: Dallas' defense is much improved from the unit we saw earlier in the season. The Vikings are also allowing the most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season. 

Bears vs. Browns: Chicago will be hungry coming off the loss to Green Bay in need of a win at home to keep pace in the NFC playoff race. Browns rookie QB Shedeur Sanders has turned the ball over in three of his four games this season and is taking 2.0 sacks per game. 

49ers vs. Titans: We're picking on another weak offense in the Titans. San Francisco is also coming off a bye week and are still in play to win the NFC West. Tennessee rookie QB Cam Ward has thrown a pick in seven games this season. 

Panthers at Saints: Another team coming off the bye, the Panthers should be well-rested and have a shot to win the NFC South. Carolina also has at least seven fantasy points in four of its past seven games.
