This article is part of our NFL Waiver Wire series.
It probably goes without saying, but there's no need to be stingy with your remaining FAAB or waiver priority if you're in the position for a starter off the waiver wire at this point of the season. Sure, it doesn't always feel great to blow a large amount of your budget on the likes of a streaming TE, but it feels worse to miss out on the player you need to make it to the next elimination round. If you're the scheming type, it might also be worthwhile to take a look at your opponent's roster and attempt to outbid them on the top option at their position of need.
This Thursday article is our second waiver wire piece of the week, intended to give a broad overview of players worth fantasy consideration. Every Monday, Kevin Payne's first edition of the Waiver Wire series summarizes the top names.
As usual, for add/drop, start/sit, or any other questions relating to fantasy, just comment below or hit me up on Twitter (@ivilloth).
The list below includes players rostered in no more than 50 percent of Yahoo leagues and is listed in order of preference based on half-point per reception scoring and a 12-team league.

Each player's listed roster percentage is based on Tuesday's Yahoo statistics, to give a general sense of availability for a given week.
