December 23, 2025

Kevin Szafraniec highlights the best players available on waivers in 50% or more of ESPN and Yahoo leagues heading into Week 17.

If you are reading this, congratulations, you still have something to play for. As always, I am truly grateful for the RotoViz community and want to thank everyone for following along this year. This will be the final waivers column of the season, and I hope that it proved to be a valuable asset in bringing home fantasy titles in 2025.

Have a safe and happy holiday season, and let’s bring home some hardware in Week 17!

Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:

To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in at most 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
To be included as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in more than 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
FAAB recommendations will be given but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool.
