Week 17 Waiver Wire Rankings (2024) - Fantasy Football Pickups Include Kareem Hunt, Tyjae Spears, Patrick Taylor Jr., Jalen McMillan, Dalton Schultz

Kareem Hunt - Fantasy Football Rankings, NFL Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 17 of the 2024 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

Fantasy championship week is finally here, the moment fantasy managers have grinded all season to get to. At RotoBaller HQ, we have worked hard all season to help you prepare for this week, and we are back with our Week 17 fantasy football waiver wire rankings for 2024 to help secure a fantasy championship. Use these rankings to help add players who will help your teams, earn bragging rights, and hoist the championship trophy in the air. Good luck this week, RotoBallers!

There were more crucial injuries last week, with Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner suffering a knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Carolina Panthers. At the same time, Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III injured his ankle in Sunday's loss to the Vikings and is heading for an MRI. This past weekend left us with more questions. Is Isiah Pacheco or Kareem Hunt Kansas City's lead back? Has Tyjae Spears taken over Tony Pollard as the Titans' primary back? Is Jalen McMillan a must-add after scoring a touchdown in three straight weeks?

Our waiver wire rankings will help answer these questions. One of the industry's sharpest fantasy football minds, Nick Mariano, brings you his weekly waiver wire rankings and priority adds for the top 60 potential options. Good luck in Week 17 on the waiver wire!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:
