Fantasy Football Waiver Wire – Finals Week

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire – Finals Week
This is the last Fantasy Football Waiver Wire column of the year (sad) and if you have to pick up and play anyone you may be in serious trouble….
These are some players that may be available in your league.
QB
Nick Foles-The Eagles are still alive and in playoff contention but with Wentz going down (again) Foles steps up as the starter for now. He didn’t do much last week but he plays at home this week.
Josh Allen-He does not pass for a ton of yards but he is running a lot and has not scored less than 18 points the last 4 weeks. Buffalo is playing the Pats in New England so if you are in a league that starts 2 QB’s you might want to give him a shot.
RB
Elijah McGuire-He is my must add of the week if he is still available. Fantasy football is all about opportunities and this guy is getting a ton. He is top 8 in carries the last two weeks and has 3 receptions a game in that span.
Jamaal Williams– Aaron Jones has been put on IR and Williams will step up in that role. He scored 19 PPR points last week.
Kallen Ballage–Frank Gore is out for the year and Ballage stepping in and scored a 75 yard TD. He ran for 123 yards on the day. He saw 12 rushes last week and should get something similar this week.

WR
Mike Williams-When Keenan Allen left the game, Williams scored twice and had 7 receptions. If Allen is out again Williams will get those targets. He scored 36 PPR points last week.
Robby Anderson-The last four games his receptions, yards and PPR points are up. He scored 22 points last week.
Dante Pettis-He has scored 5 TD’s the last 4 weeks. The Niners also play the Bears this week. His range in PPR points is 13-29 in those same four weeks. I would consider him a WR or flex option.
Daesean Hamilton-He is leading the WRs in targets the last two games but has only scored 17 and 11 PPR points. He does not have a very high floor but could be a decent flex or WR 3 play.
Robert Foster-One of my favorite deep Dynasty adds he is actually surfacing on the redraft radar. He has only one game below 94 receiving yards in the last 5. His last 5 PPR scores are 13, 17, 3, 17, and 20. If you play him be careful, as he may get you 3.
Streaming Defense
Titans-They shutout the Giants last week and this week they play the Redshins, who are on their fourth QB. If they are available they have to be a top play.
Cowboys-A rough few weeks but they are at home hosting the Bucs and their QB Jamesis Winston has thrown 10 INT’s in road games this year!
Colts-A much improved defensive unit this year, they shutout the Cowboys last week. The Giants come to town and they were shutout last week as well by the Titans! Eli Manning has thrown an INT in three of the last four.
There are a few options this week if you need some help. I hope that everyone has luck this week and all your players are healthy. It will be a long offseason as it is every year. Try out a playoff league or do some DFS the final few weeks. I know I will. Good luck to all.
