ADVICE

Block Opponent Pickups Before Waivers

  • Check your roster and your opponent's roster for blockable pickups before Week 17 waivers.
  • Use remaining FAAB aggressively to block QBs in superflex if it helps your matchup.
INSIGHT

Corum's Value Is Touchdown-Dependent

  • Blake Corum has been productive recently due to his offense and goal-line usage.
  • His value in shallow leagues hinges on touchdowns more than passing-game involvement.
ADVICE

Pick Up Michael Carter For A Strong Matchup

  • Target Michael Carter in Week 17 for volume against the Bengals' weak rush defense.
  • Prioritize him as an RB2 if he maintains lead-back snaps and pass-game involvement.
