Waiver Wire Watch Week 17: Last-Chance Championship Pickups

With 15 of 16 Week 16 games in the books — pending Monday Night Football — it was a wild semifinals week (for some of us). And now we’re here … the fantasy championship. It all comes down to this for those who advanced, so I’ve got the top pickups heading into Week 17!

As always, here in the 4for4 Waiver Wire Watch, the recommended additions will be available in more than 40% of Yahoo leagues. Additionally, suggested FAAB bids are built on a baseline of 12-team leagues — typically, they can be increased in deeper leagues, where valuable additions are rarer finds.

The Overall Top 10 is prioritized by relatively standard league and roster construction, with room for adjustment based on your individual situation. In a vacuum, this would be the order I would prioritize waiver claims heading into Week 17.
