Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round Including Zay Jones, Deon Jackson, Marquise Goodwin, Rashid Shaheed

Zay Jones - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

The playoffs are off and running with most of Week 15 behind us, which means those championship dreams draw ever closer! We saw a wacky ending in Las Vegas and some key injuries struck Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Lockett, and more. You already know to keep track of their updates on RotoBaller as we bring you an initial waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 16.

This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions to complement our free new Who Should I Pickup for Fantasy Football? waiver wire player comparison tool.

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 therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.

Editor's Note: Our incredible team of writers won two writing awards and received 12 award nominations by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association. A big congrats to our very own Byron Lindeque (Golf) and Jordan McAbee (NASCAR) for both winning Writer Of The Year awards! Be sure to follow RotoBaller's analysis and advice all year long, and win more. Win More With RotoBaller!
