Mychal Rivera-TE-Oakland Raiders (20.3%)

If you need a Te from the week 15 waiver wire, the pickings are pretty slim and whoever you end up with is a role of the dice to some degree. The best option, in my opinion, is Raiders TE Mychal Rivera who is coming off his best game of the season last week against the 49ers.

Rivera piled up 109 yards on his seven catches while finding the end zone for the fourth time this season. Rivera was actually the most dropped TE this past week after a few down games, but he bounced back in a big way as the Raiders looked solid on offense.

It’s hard to count on the Raiders offense, though, as they travel to Kansas City. When the two teams squared off in week 12, Rivera only caught one pass for eight yards. However, I still think he has more upside than the other widely available options and is worth a gamble if you are desperate for a TE play this week.
