Win and advance. That is the name of the game at this point. This week’s article will be to the point. You are only competing against a handful of teams at this point, so the wire, though picked over through 15 weeks, should not present a lot of competition.
Know what players are injured. Do not start injured players. Your roster must be locked in with the best possible players each of these final two weeks. No regrets. Set the best players and hope for the best.
Do not forget the @Razzball NFL team of writers will be hosting our Sunday Morning Start/Sit podcast every week starting three hours before kickoff all the way up to the official start of the early games. Sky – @SkyGuasco, Derek – @Derek_Favret, Jeff @Jefferson__21, Dave @crewswe128 and me/Matt – @stiles08, will be answering all your questions to help you win your weekly matchups. Come for the analysis and stay for the laughs!

WAIVERS:
QB: J.J. McCarthy – 36% rostered is a name I do not love but 20-point performances in back-to-back games warrants consideration. Do not get too cute. If you have a better option today, then stick with that player. McCarthy is a streamer in case you lost someone like Patrick Mahomes.
RB: Blake Corum – 41% rostered is producing. It will be tough for anyone to argue 14.10. 30.10, and 13.10 from a RB currently available in 59% of leagues. Kyren Williams is the lead dog for the Rams, but Corum continues to get touches.
Honorable Mention/Cheaper Options:
Jacory Croskey-Merritt – 48% rostered is a player I did not foresee being on this list after his atrocious mid-season performances. The Chris Rodriguez injury opened the door for Bill to step back into the starting role. His 18-96-1 line is nice only if CRod misses Week 16.
Audric Estime’ – 0% rostered appears to be the de facto next man up for the Saints. New Orleans saw Devin Neal leave Week 15 with a hamstring issue while also missing Alvin Kamara probably for the remainder of the season. We want volume and Estime’ should provide that against the hapless Jets defense.
Jayden Reed – 41% rostered is next in line for targets against the Bears with Christian Watson scheduled to miss time. This portion of the article might as well be labelled “buy a scratch off lottery ticket and whatever Packers WR is revealed is your starter.” Additionally, the Packers must beat the Bears to keep their playoff hopes alive. Best case scenario is winning the division versus having to get some help earning a Wild Card berth.
Honorable Mention/Cheaper Options:
Adonai Mitchell – 16% rostered will provide boom or bust heartburn level starts. He has beaten his projection in two of the past three weeks. Grab some antacids if you are playing Mitchell in a must win game.
TE: Colby Parkinson – 5% rostered is the latest find for Matthew Stafford especially in the red zone. If Davante Adams misses time, and the injury does not appear to be a quick healing one, look for Parkinson to be a favorite target for Stafford with Puka Nacua seeing double-teams all day.
