Not really. There is the "DSR" thing that gets thrown around on here from time to time, however 1) voluntary downgrades on award tickets are not really "DSR" as you have voluntary booked the lower cabin at booking, and 2) finding an agent that knows how to do it and will do it in this scenario (see #1 above) is very low probability, and 3) this must be done at the airport AFAIK.
So I could be wrong, but unless the OP is at the airport right now and has overcome #1 and #2 above, I really have no idea how they are on any kind of waitlist.
