It all started back in spring or the summer. All the mock drafts, research, sleeper articles, and strategy advice. The countless hours spent preparing for this very scenario: survive until Week 17. Make it to the finals.

Congratulations on advancing through what will undoubtedly go down the most challenging season ever. It took a special effort to navigate the myriad injuries, pandemics, and other calamities that made 2021 so complex.

Now, the only thing left is to give your squad the best chance you can in wrapping up that final victory. Knowing which fantasy football free agents to target on the waiver wire is one of the best ways you can do that. Here are some of the players to target ahead of the 2021 finale.

FAAB denote Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Boston Scott (RB) Philadelphia Eagles (35% FAAB) – Miles Sanders has already been ruled out this week with a broken hand and Jordan Howard is dealing with a shoulder injury. After Sanders exited Sunday’s victory, Scott got a dozen carries including a goal-line plunge, and could be in for a big role this week if Howard is also ruled out.

Dare Ogunbowale (RB) Jacksonville Jaguars (25% FAAB) – After James Robinson tore his Achilles, Ogunbowale came in and took over Robinson’s lead dog role, racking up 19 touches in relief. With Robinson out, Ogunbowale should maintain a very high snap rate, including plenty of targets against New England’s stout run defense…

There isn’t much of a break to get over what was a devastating Week 15 that dragged on for what felt like six weeks but was actually just six days.

Still, for those of us still playing, we must move on and Thursday Night Football offers an intriguing intra-conference battle between the red-hot San Francisco 49ers and AFC South-leading Tennessee Titans.

With plenty of fantasy-relevant players on both sides of the ball, this game should have a ton of ramifications on season-long and best-ball lineups as well as DFS.

Here is what we can expect from Week 16’s Thursday night showdown…

Emerging from that Week 15 with a fantasy football playoff victory took immense skills or luck. Either way, consider yourself fortunate if you were able to navigate that slate and move on to Week 16.

To win one more, you’ll likely need reinforcement after last week’s debacle. Here are some of the key fantasy football free agents to target heading into the semi-finals.

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

Ronald Jones (RB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers (65% FAAB) – This is what you saved up some of your FAAB for. With Leonard Fournette (hamstring) expected to miss the remainder of the fantasy season, Jones is now in prime position to see 15 touches for a Bucs’ offense that should be motivated to rebound quickly against the Panthers. Jones isn’t much of a receiver but looked more explosive as a runner Sunday night. View Jones as a locked-in Weekly RB2 moving forward and try to add him everywhere you can.

Duke Johnson (RB) Miami Dolphins (40% FAAB) –
