Waiver Wire Express - Week 17 Lightning Round Including Kendre Miller, Tyjae Spears, Trey Benson, Olamide Zaccheaus, Dalton Schultz, Bryce Young, more

Bryce Young - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Allow us to extend a congratulatory handshake for making it through Week 16 as we press onto the championship week(s) to come. Most of you have no more bye weeks to hide behind as it's all hands on deck in pursuit of a title. Let's start our push to the podium with our fantasy football waiver wire pickups lightning round heading into Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season.

This provides a quick reaction regarding fantasy-relevant players for Week 17 after the past week's festivities and key injuries to Jalen Hurts (concussion), James Conner (knee), Tank Dell (knee), and Kenneth Walker III (ankle). Drake London (hamstring) and Aaron Rodgers (ankle) seemingly suffered more minor injuries. This column is published early in the week and updated daily as the site brings more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. 

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order and broken down by position. Players will be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo! leagues and range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats, with options for longer stashes beyond the following week for those with playoff byes.
