Welcome to Week 17 of the fantasy football season -- aka the fantasy football championships. Congrats to everyone who made it this far, now let's win it! Like any other week, we have put together a full assortment of fantasy football waiver wire articles. We are with you until the end, and are going to do our best to help you bring home the trophy.
For those who are not familiar, our team's fantasy football waiver wire articles get published on Mondays and Tuesdays each week. First up is our overall waiver wire article, by lead editor Pierre Camus, and the famous waiver wire express lightning round compliments of Nick Mariano. These will give you an overview of the waiver wire options.
If you're in a league with FAAB waivers (blind bids), this top-notch FAAB waiver wire article by Nick Mariano is a must-read. He lists the players to target, and how much of your FAAB budget to spend (if any is left). In addition to these articles, we also dig deeper for each position with individual waiver wire articles: running backs, wide receivers, tight ends, quarterbacks, defenses, kickers, IDP leagues and players to consider dropping.
