Engel won two dynasty league championships last season, including one in the Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC) and has won three consecutive championships in his highly competitive New York City league. So far this season, Engel has recommended notable players such as Cordarrelle Patterson, Dawson Knox, and Amon-Ra St. Brown ahead of their highly impactful performances!
Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents ahead of Week 17. One player to target on the Week 17 waiver wire: Buffalo Bills wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie. Before Sunday, McKenzie was never on the Fantasy radar and made just occasional splashes on offense and special teams for Buffalo. But with the Bills needing someone to step up in a thinned WR corps, McKenzie had a career day as a pass-catcher. He caught 11 passes for 125 yards and a touchdown in a big win over the Patriots.
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 for Fantasy Super Bowl week! 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.
Which players should you target on the Week 17 Fantasy football waiver wire? And which running back is a MUST-ADD? ... Join SportsLine right now to see the optimal league-winning free agents entering Week 17, all from a Fantasy Hall of Famer!
