Waiver Wire Express - Week 16 Lightning Round

After injuries destroyed many a playoff hope in Week 14, we saw some heroes rise from the ashes to guide us through Week 15.

There's no shortage of waiver action heading into the traditional FF Championship Week! To take home the gold, here is the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 16.
