waiver wire

For most fantasy leagues, Week 16 is the fantasy championship. This is what you've been waiting all season for, and now it's here. This is the time to make sure you have your handcuff for your running back. If Week 15 taught us anything, it's to be prepared. It seemed like Ezekiel Elliott would be active, and then Sunday morning, fantasy owners found out that he was inactive.

As the fantasy season enters Thanksgiving week, owners need to make sure they know what they are doing with their lineups. Plenty of injuries are keeping key players out, and COVID-19 is playing a role as well, but at least there are no teams on bye this week. Fantasy owners need to stay on top of what is going on in the league to make sure the players on their team are going to be active each week.

Fantasy owners should still be looking at the waiver wire, as each week brings new players that should be on fantasy teams. Between injuries, bye weeks, and players that are just in a slump, fantasy owners should be scouring the waiver wire to see who they can add.

It is now Week 8, and some fantasy owners may be surprised the season has gone on this long. Others may think that it has flown by. Others may be looking at their rosters and feeling frustrated. It's been a tough season in terms of injuries, postponements, and coaches not telling anyone that they are going to "rest" a player in a week that fantasy owners started him (Jerick McKinnon, anyone?). It's always tough to be a fantasy owner, but the key is to accurately assess your roster.

Fantasy owners are likely having a hard time with the NFL season in 2020. For example, instead of the week getting wrapped up on Monday, there's still one game left to be played. The Buffalo-Tennessee game has been up in the air and everyone is hoping it happens on Tuesday night, but that's still in question.
