This article is part of our NFL Waiver Wire series.
For most of us, Week 16 signifies the fantasy championship. Unless you're in a league that still runs through Week 17, that means it's time to blow all your remaining FAAB, deeply consider sniping our opponents on waivers, and cut loose any player who won't be of immediate help without guilt. Even getting to this point is worth a self-congratulatory pat on the back. But now that we're here, we can't entertain any possibility except winning the whole shebang.
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 gives a rundown the top names.
As usual, I'll answer any questions relating to fantasy down below, or @ivilloth on Twitter. Full disclosure, I'll be operating at less than 100% while recovering from a minor procedure this week, so responses may be less prompt than normal.
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. Depending on your league's scoring and roster settings, certain players might warrant higher consideration than what is listed. Each player's listed roster percentage is based on Tuesday's Yahoo statistics, to give a general sense of availability for a given week.
