Early Week 17 Fantasy Football waiver wire: One last title push, plus how much to bid on more than 30 players

The waiver wire surely had an impact on which teams made it to the Fantasy championship in a lot of league, some positive (Tyjae Spears, Parker Washington, Saints DST) but likely many others negative. Jacoby Brissett had his first down week since taking over the starting job, while Gardner Minshew and Quinn Ewers gave Superflex backers little to nothing. Audric Estime and Nick Chubb couldn't take advantage of depth chart elevations due to injury while T.J. Hockenson, Rashid Shaheed and Jayden Higgins each saw just one offensive touch.

If you made it through, congratulations. You'll likely not have to rely on the waiver wire this week because the core of your team is just that good. But what if your quarterback is one of many who are uncertain for this week, a list that includes Lamar Jackson, Jordan Love and plenty of Superflex-only options? What if you just lost Quinshon Judkins to an ugly ankle dislocation and fractured fibula? What if TreVeyon Henderson can't get cleared in time for your title game? What if you can't stomach rolling out a Ravens tight end in the final? What if DK Metcalf gets suspended for his altercation with a fan, and what if your only healthy bench receiver is Brian Thomas Jr.?

There will still be plenty of people attacking waivers in the Fantasy championship, and we'll cover more than 30 players at quarterback, running back, receiver, tight end and defense/special teams to help you make those key decisions below.

Which running back should be your top target on Week 17 waivers? And which receiver is worth adding with a priority bid? ... Join SportsLine here to see R.J. White's Week 17 waiver wire for 2025 Fantasy football leagues!
