Waivers of the Future: Week 17

Jordan McNamara's Waivers of the Future: Week 17 Jordan McNamara Published 12/26/2023

Waivers of the future will focus on making decisions that improve our odds of our dynasty championship. The back of your dynasty roster should be flexible, with preferences made for players you can use in your lineup during the season.

Quarterback

Among the quarterbacks, there are two types of waiver options: those moving up this week and veteran backups.

MOVING UP THIS WEEK

Among the quarterbacks, there are two types of waiver options: those moving up this week and veteran backups.

Tyrod Taylor came into Monday’s game in relief of an ineffective Tommy Devito. Head coach Brian Daboll did not announce the team’s Week 17 starter, so watch the news before waivers run this week. If Taylor starts in place of DeVito, he will be a QB2/QB3-type streamer in Week 17. He warrants a keep-away bid for anyone playing in a championship against a team facing quarterback problems.

Sam Howell has struggled of late and was benched for the second consecutive week in favor of Jacoby Brissett, who came into the game and sparked the Washington offense. Brissett completed 10 of his 13 passes for 100 yards and scored a touchdown. If Washington turns to Brissett in Week 17, Brissett warrants similar treatment to Taylor if he's available on the waiver wire.
