Waiver Wire Steals for Fantasy Playoffs

If you're looking to fill in a last second roster spot before the Thursday Night Football game give these names a closer look

Fantasy Playoffs kick off for most leagues with the Seattle Seahawks- St. Louis Rams Thursday Night game. A lot of big money is finally coming down to the wire, and hopefully you are seeing green in your eyes. Whether you're still looking for some last second waiver pick ups to fill your starting roster, or just playing defense and stealing players before your opponent can, we advise you take a close look at these names.

Kenneth Farrow, RB, San Diego Chargers: Melvin Gordon, San Diego's star Running Back, left the game last Sunday after accumulating just 5 yards before going down with a hip injury. With San Diego out of playoff contention it seems this will be the last we see of Gordon. His back up, Farrow, is owned in only .5% of ESPN fantasy teams. His workload in the offense increased tenfold, seeing 16 rushes as well as 6 extra catches for a total of close to 80 yards.

Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets: Last week saw some big name Running Backs lose their jobs due to injury. Alongside Gordon, the Jets' Matt Forte left his game with an apparent knee injury. Powell's activity in the offense has shown signs that he can serve as a dependable starter for your fantasy team come playoff time.

Jermiane Gresham, TE, Arizona Cardinals: Unless you have Greg Olson or Travis Kelce anchoring your Tight End position, the slot on your roster has been a bit of a revolving door. Gresham has been hitting his stride in the Cardinals' offense, pulling down 5 catches each of his last 3 games, as well as 2 Touchdowns during that span.
