10 waiver wire targets for fantasy football playoffs

Congratulations, you’re alive in the playoffs of your fantasy football league! Either that or you are taking your consolation bracket really, really seriously.

Either way, everyone can look to the waiver wire this week to improve your depth in fantasy football. We’ve put together a list of ten targets to consider, including options at running back, wide receiver, tight end and quarterback.

One of the biggest waiver wire targets of the week is Raiders running back Zamir White, who filled in for an injured Josh Jacobs and totaled 85 yards from scrimmage and scored a touchdown on Thursday Night Football. If Jacobs (quad) misses another game, White will be a must-start in Week 16.

Another notable player to consider is Texans wide receiver Noah Brown, who totaled eight receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown on Sunday. Brown’s production will probably take a hit when Nico Collins returns from injury, but Brown is a priority waiver wire target nonetheless.

Each player’s rostered percentage in ESPN fantasy football leagues is listed in parentheses. Let’s get to the list!
