*For a player to make this WAIVER list, they must be rostered in LESS than 50% of 1QB, Full PPR Sleeper Leagues.*
QUARTERBACKS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- BRYCE YOUNG (Panthers)
Rostered: (13% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Cowboys, Cardinals, Buccaneers
(19-34 Completions, 191 Yards, 1 TD, 1 INT; 7 Carries, 29 Yards)
{So here’s my thoughts on Bryce Young, he’s been very serviceable against middling to bad defenses. Just two weeks ago he put up top 10 numbers against the Buccaneers. Last week he played an extreme tough Eagles defense, but the next three weeks are looking fairly sweet for the young man. If you are in dire need of a quarterback this week in the first week of the playoffs, I’m not afraid f taking a swing on Bryce, especially with the was Thielen has been stepping up.}
RUNNING BACKS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- ISAIAH DAVIS (Jets)
Rostered: (14% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Jaguars, Rams, Bills
(10 Carries, 40 Yards, 1 TD; 6 Targets, 3 Catches, 27 Yards)
{If you are in need of a running back with all the injuries we’ve procured over this year, Isaiah might be someone to look at. He’s scored a touchdown in the last two weeks with Breece Hall being sidelined with an injury. Braelen Allen should get the first looks, but Davis has done very well with the opportunities he’s been given.}
WIDE RECEIVERS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}D
- RAY-RAY MCCLOUD (Falcons)
Rostered: (24% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Raiders, Giants, Commanders
(11 Targets, 8 Catches, 101 Yards; 1 Rush, 3 Yards; 1 KR, 31 Yards)
{Ray-Ray has been very efficient with the work he’s been given over the last three weeks he’s played. If you are looking for a very solid flex option or wide receiver 3 option, I’m not looking past Ray-Ray. With 23 targets and 18 catches over his last three games, you could definitely do worse at receiver. Remember he also gets opportunities to return kicks, so if your league gives points for return yards, here’s another reason to not look past McCloud.} - JALEN MCMILLAN (Buccaneers)
Rostered: (12% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Chargers, Cowboys, Panthers
xxxxx(11 Targets, 8 Catches, 101 Yards; 1 Rush, 3 Yards; 1 KR, 31 Yards)

TIGHT ENDS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- JUWAN JOHNSON(Saints)
Rostered: (19% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Commanders, Packers, Raiders
(5 Targets, 4 Catches, 50 Yards, 1 TD)
{With Taysom Hill being done for the year, Juwan gets another opportunity to step up in a big way. This offense is definitely lacking playmakers with all the injuries that have riddled this team. Opportunities is going to be key for Juwan to continue showing success in your lineup.}
KICKERS
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- WILL LUTZ (Vikings)
Rostered: (9% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Colts, Chargers, Bengals
(5 for 5 XPs, 2 for 2 on FGs Made, One 30-39 yd FG)
{Lutz has been perfect the last three weeks. Nothing is better than consistency when it comes to the playoffs. }
D/ST
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- RAIDERS (Las Vegas)
Rostered: (3% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next Opponent: Atlanta Falcons
{Kirk Cousins is in absolute shambles this last 5 weeks. Any team facing him right now is definitely worth the gamble.}
Individual Defensive Players (IDP)
ALL PLAYERS ARE IN ORDER BY SUGGESTED WAIVER PRIORITY
{All stats are from the prior week.}
- ERIC KENDRICKS (Cowboys) LB
Rostered: (34% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Panthers, Buccaneers, Eagles
(12 Total Tackles, 1 Tackle for Loss)
{Welp, sadly Demarvion Overshown went down last week with a significant knee injury, which leaves an huge opening for Eric Kendricks to continue to go bananas. Eric has been one of the more consistent Linebackers in Fantasy this year. Kendricks has consistently had 8+ total tackles in every single game he has played in this season and only 4 games below 17 fantasy points all year. He gets a pretty good few weeks for matchups starting with the Bengals. Fire him up with confidence as there are so many players on Bye week this week.} - A’SHAWN ROBINSON (Panthers) DL
Rostered: (3% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Cowboys, Cardinals, Buccaneers
(5 Total Tackles, 1 Tackle for Loss, 2 Hits on QB, 1.5 Sacks)
{Robinson has been having an up and down year. but in a positive way. He has been a high floor, high ceiling kind of Lineman this year. He gets a great opportunity this week facing Cooper Rush and the Cowboys. If you are looking for a guy to help you continue the fight, it’s A’Shawn.} - CHAMARRI CONNER (Chiefs) DB
Rostered: (2% in Sleeper Leagues)
Next 3 Opponents: Browns, Texans, Steelers
(8 Total Tackles, 1 Tackle for Loss, 1 Hit on QB)
{Three of the last four weeks, Chamarri has put up significant Fantasy numbers. He gets an opportunity to go up against a gunslinger this week in Jameis Winston. Tackles Tackles Tackles galore is all we can hope for this week!}
