Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents ahead of Week 16. One player to target on the Week 16 waiver wire: Miami Dolphins running back Duke Johnson. He was signed to the Miami practice squad in late October and was buried on the depth chart until Week 15. Johnson was elevated to the starting lineup against the Jets and was the biggest surprise performer of the week, rushing for 107 yards and two TDs. He may now be headed for a larger role in the Dolphins backfield.
Engel is also all-in on a 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 16 waiver wire claims.
