Before you determine which players you should target on the Fantasy football waiver wire ahead of Week 17, you NEED to see what Jacob Gibbs has to say.

Gibbs uses a data-driven approach that has helped him consistently provide accurate rankings at every position. He has proven to be one of the nation's most accurate Fantasy rankers in recent years -- posting the eighth-most accurate results over the past three seasons, according to Fantasy Pros.

Now, he's revealed the best widely available free agents following Week 16. One player to target on the Week 17 waiver wire: Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks. After reaching 1,000 receiving yards in six of the last seven years, Cooks will fall short of that mark in 2022 due to poor quarterback play and five missed games due to injury. But he returned from his calf strain last week and caught four passes for 34 yards with a touchdown while being targeted nine times. Cooks is available in nearly 40% of CBS Sports Fantasy football leagues.

Gibbs is also all-in on a veteran running back with a serious chance to shine! 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.
