To those who are still reading these, I say congratulations! You must be deep into the playoffs or battling for roto supremacy. I know these weeks are draining but we must finish strong. We've battled through COVID-19, injuries, duds, all sorts of landmines to get here. Let's get that gold with the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 16.
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 (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.
