Week 13's conclusion means most of your fantasy football playoffs have begun. Those with first-round byes should start optimizing the roster for Weeks 15 and 16, but most of you need to take this one week at a time. To guide you towards the championship round, here is the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 14.
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.
