Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 17

For those of you playing this week hopefully you don’t need to rely on the waiver wire for your championship game because this is one week it’s a crap shoot and it would be difficult for us to give you a name we haven’t already listed. We’ll keep this short and sweet focused only on a list of players we feel at the least could be somewhat fantasy relevant in the last week of the regular season. 

We hope you enjoyed reading our waiver wire pickup articles throughout the season. Thank you for giving FFChamps.com the responsibility of helping you manage your fantasy football season and remember we’re here year round for all your fantasy football needs and will be chomping at the bit for the 2014 season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Quarterbacks

Kirk Cousins-Redskins (24%)@ Giants: Great matchup. 

Matt Flynn-Packers (6%) vs Bears: Great matchup.

Chad Henne-Jaguars (3%) @ Colts: Good matchup.

Running Backs

Mark Ingram-Saints (21%) vs Bucs: Neutral matchup but he should play a ton.

James Starks-Packers (16%) vs Bears: Great matchup and should play a lot.

Christine Michael-Seahawks (3%)vs Rams: Good matchup and he could get the start.

Michael Bush-Bears (7%) vs Packers: Great matchup and even if he doesn’t get the start should play a lot.

Donald Brown-Colts (43%)vs Jaguars: He’s scorching hot right now and although the Jaguars have been playing much better he should do well.
