Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round Including Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Khalil Herbert, Jerry Jeudy, Zamir White

We hope everyone had a jolly holiday weekend and got to celebrate some fantasy playoff victories! We've worked all year to set ourselves up for the ultimate success, so why stop now? Let's roll into the championship rounds with the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 17.

As always, we're here as a rapid reaction to put names on your radar with the week's performances and injuries to Isiah Pacheco, Courtland Sutton, Jaylen Waddle, Jordan Addison, and more. This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. 

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
