Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round

The Week 17 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2019 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Gus Edwards, Travis Homer, Anthony Miller & more.

While many wrapped up their fantasy season with a Week 16 championship, we know there are many of you with Week 17 title games, or championships that span both Week 16 and 17. Don't worry, we're not leaving you out in the cold, but do note the volatility of playing time in Week 17! As we put a bow on 2019, here is the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 17.

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.

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