Who To Pickup for Fantasy Football In Week 17
Bryce Young, QB | CAR
Rostered: 7%
Bryce Young only threw for 158 yards against the Arizona Cardinals. Yet, it was his best fantasy effort of the season, scoring 27 points. How did he do it? Rushing.
Not exactly known for his wheels, Young has been scrambling a lot more lately. This past week, he ran the ball five times for 68 yards and a touchdown. If Young is going to make this a regular part of his repertoire, he can be a viable fantasy starter.
Young gets the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. When they last met, he had what was previously his best fantasy outing of the season, scoring 23 points. You can definitely look to Young as a viable streamer in Week 17.
Audric Estimé, RB | DEN
Rostered: 7%
With Jaleel McLaughlin out, the Broncos still implemented a three-man backfield. However, after the game, head coach Sean Payton said Audric Estimé earned more carries going forward.
The rookie already had an impressive 48 yards on nine attempts against the Chargers on Thursday night.
The Broncos get the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. There is no better matchup for offenses, in general, than the Bengals. Jerome Ford just torched them for 92 yards on 11 carries. You can use Estimé as a desperation RB3.

How Does the NFL Fantasy Waiver Wire Work?
Once a fantasy football draft is completed, the waiver wire is the primary way to add talent to your team. The waiver wire is the list of players who were not drafted and are essentially “free agents.” They can be added to your roster at various times during the week. The first run traditionally clears on Wednesday and then daily after that until Sunday’s games.
That said, it’s vital to see if your league’s waivers are on a first-come, first-serve basis with no set time and date. In those leagues, you can add a player anytime you want, rewarding those who are on top of the news.
In most leagues, teams operate with a set waiver priority order. The team with the highest waiver priority (waiver position #1) will get any player they claim. The team in waiver position #2 will get any player they claim unless the team in position #1 claims him first, and so on. When a team gets a successful waiver claim, they move to the bottom of the order, and the teams below them move up one spot each.
