In a highly important week of fantasy football, we have an exciting group of waiver wire players unlike the last few weeks. The past few weeks have been somewhat of slow waiver wires, and much like the actual NFL season, the fantasy season is picking up as well.

With the fantasy playoffs just a week away, the pick-ups are as important as ever. The headliners this week include LeGarrette Blount, Boom Herron and Latavius Murray. With LeGarrette back in New England, it’s hard not to have him in your starting lineup. Boom Herron is a high prospect once again based off of Trent Richardson’s poor efficiency.

Along with those jackpots, we are hesitant on numerous other players just because it is the last week before the playoffs. If you made it this far, there’s less of a chance to roll the dice this late in the season. But if an injury were to happen, we feel these guys are the guys to grab.

Best of luck and may the odds be ever in your favor.
