Hey!
I’m back to highlight the top waiver adds at each position for Week 17.
With fantasy championships on the line, these players are still available in a surprising number of leagues. Let’s get into it…
RB: Dylan Sampson - Cleveland Browns
With Quinshon Judkins likely done for the season and Jerome Ford already on IR, Sampson has a real path to volume if his hand injury allows him to play.
Cleveland split the backfield after Judkins went down, but Sampson profiles as the most complete option if active.
If Sampson is cleared, he’s a high-upside add for Week 17. If not, Raheim Sanders would step into the lead role…
QB: Tyler Shough - New Orleans Saints
If you need a quarterback for championship week, Shough stands out.
He’s scored 17+ fantasy points in 4 straight games and now draws a Titans defense that’s been generous to opposing QBs all season.
Other waiver options face top-tier defenses, which makes Shough the cleanest matchup-based play available…
TE: Taysom Hill – New Orleans Saints
The Saints offense has turned strange and that’s good for Hill.
With the backfield depleted, Hill handled a career-high workload as a runner last week while still mixing in at quarterback.
That usage gives him a unique fantasy profile, especially at tight end where touchdowns matter most…
WR: Parker Washington - Jacksonville Jaguars
Washington exploded in Week 16 and now gets a perfect follow-up matchup.
He’s settled into a consistent slot role in 3-wide sets and faces an Indianapolis defense that’s allowed massive production to WRs.
Jacksonville’s passing game has shown it can support multiple fantasy options, and Washington’s role looks secure heading into Week 17…
That’s it for Week 17. Make these moves now because championships are won on the margins.
