NFL Waiver Wire Thread 2020 Week 16

This thread is for offering suggested waiver wire pickups for week 16 of the 2020 NFL season.

It is not for the following:

• FAAB questions / discussions — these need to go in the FAAB Questions and Discussion thread
• Questions / discussions about adds/drops/trades — these belong in the Football Assistant Coach Forum
• Stories about your fantasy team — post these in the Cool Story, Bro! thread
• Team defense discussions — use the Team Defense / Special Teams / Streaming Thread

Comments that fall into one of these categories or are otherwise not on topic for this thread will be removed.

Some discussion of waiver suggestions is allowed, but this is not the place for an extended debate on the merits of any particular player. Take these in-depth discussions over to the outlook threads for the individual player(s) in question.

Tony Pollard and Leonard Fournette are obvious ones that come to mind.

Those guys should've been rostered with Rojo and Zeke announced as out as at least bench stashes unless the league is asleep at the wheel. Slim pickens this time of year because most of the high end stashes are rostered. Maybe Tevin Coleman as a RB streamer if he's last guy standing in week 16 although it's debatable whether he's any good

Who's 3rd string in KC are CEH and Bell hurt enough to miss next week?

[ZappB 656]

Jalen Hurts is only rostered in 38% of Yahoo leagues, he's clearly #1 this week.

Bell seemed fine once he got up. Otherwise Darrell Williams.

[Ergogh 41]

Bell probably a nice pickup. [...]

Logan Thomas if he's still available and you don't have a top 3 TE.

Redskins are desperate to win and he's been a safety valve the last 3 weeks.

I find it really hard to believe hes not rostered, hes been a top 9 TE for 6 weeks

If he’s healthy enough to play I like Jalen Reagor. Him and hurts seem to be in sync before he got hurt and it’s juicy @DAL. Looked minor but I’m playing him if he’s healthy in my deep league.

[ST. STEVEN 4,170]

Lil'Jordan Humphrey FTW.

[mjb 808]

Judge Ito Smith

[kyoun1e 1,050]

Gio lol

[supac720 352]

Darrell Henderson if he is out there.

[LongBalls 1,193]

Lots of maybe RBs for finals: Ahmed, Snell, Henderson/Brown, Ito Smith.

[mjb 808]

Uncle Lenny if he’s floating on the wire (Jones Covid), so lots of potentials pending, check your waiver wire.

[MonsterMan 39]

Russell Gage - ATL WR vs KC if Julio Jones is out. Tough defense, but is second in line behind Ridley in a shootout.

I think gio is a good pickup if they start Finley again... expect to see 20+ carries against a weak Hou run def.... caveat is Mixon remains out

Feel like his performance last night was super flukey, but may not have another option.

I think the TDs can be flukey... the volume was not... this is only way cincy can win.. control the clock... I don’t see why they wouldn’t take this same approach vs. hou who cannot stop the run

Don't like him against KC but he get's Tampa again in week 17. If Julio is out he will get his. Check out his target numbers on the season.

[ST. STEVEN 4,170]

C.J. Beathard in 2QB/SF and maybe deep dynasty leagues.

I am not afraid of using him in my title game, he can spin it and should have been playing before Mullens.

[Fried Pork Grind 524]

As far as RBs go I think the order is:

Henderson 

Jeff Wilson 

Pollard 

Ahmad 

I like Henderson and Wilson over the other two because if Zeke or Gaskin play Pollard and Ahmad are almost worthless. If Zeke or Gaskin don't play then I would rate those two at the top of the list. 

This is a tough waiver for some of us because we need to make a choice tonight and hope we make the right  choice. For me it's to block my competitor I don't plan on playing any of these guys. 

[codyodea 351]

I'm not so sure Ahmed didn't take the lead roll for Miami.
