Finding the perfect addition to your team via the Fantasy football waiver wire can be the difference between winning your league or going home with nothing. And before you determine which players you should target on the Fantasy football waiver wire this week, you NEED to see what Jody Smith has to say.
Having worked in the Fantasy industry for many years, Smith has contributed to virtually every meaningful Fantasy publication and website. FantasyPros named him the Most Accurate Expert for the 2012 NFL season. If there's anyone who knows what it takes to win a league, it's him.
Now, he's done an in-depth analysis of the best widely available free agents entering Week 17. One player Smith is advising owners to target on the Week 17 waiver wire: Ravens running back Gus Edwards.
Edwards carried the ball 12 times for 66 yards in Sunday's victory over the Browns. The 24-year-old took over as Baltimore's lead back after Mark Ingram left the game with a calf injury in the second half. And with the Ravens having already secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC, Ingram will likely miss Baltimore's matchup against the Steelers in Week 17. That leaves ample amounts of opportunity for Edwards to return league-winning value against a Pittsburgh defense that gave up almost 140 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown when these two teams met earlier this season.
Smith is also all-in on a shocking running back with MASSIVE upside. This player is still widely available and could be a huge boost to your roster moving forward! Anyone who adds this player could hit it BIG. You ABSOLUTELY need to see who it is before making any Week 17 waiver wire claims.
