Waiver Hub – Week 18

Happy fantasy football championship week part 2! The final week of the fantasy playoffs is here for those who are still going strong following the Steelers/Browns MNF game last night. Week 18 begins on Saturday this week since there is no Thursday game or MNF game, just Saturday and Sunday games.

Mike Hubbard Jr here, welcome back to my weekly Waiver HUB. Follow me on Twitter (@FantasyHubbard) and Instagram (@fantasyhubbard) for all things fantasy football throughout the season. Feel free to tweet me or message me on either social media with any comments or questions you might have regarding fantasy football.

Fantasy football playoffs are either over or are ending after this week so now is the last and most pivotal time to make your most strategic moves and prepare for fantasy greatness. If injuries and performance weren’t hard enough to predict and plan for, we can add COVID to the list so now is another chance to hit the waiver wire and get immediate impact players. Another week gone, another opportunity to make your team stronger and win that league trophy that comes with an offseason of bragging rights.

Below are my waiver wire priorities this week. Go get available players to help your chances at winning the championship. Good luck this week!!

CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones reports the Seahawks interviewed Byron Leftwich for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
Leftwich, who has been out of the league for two seasons, interviewed with the Patriots for their head coach opening earlier this month. Now, the former Buccaneers offensive coordinator could once again find himself calling plays, only this time for the Seahawks. Leftwich's work with the Buccaneers from 2019-2022 resulted in a Super Bowl title during the 2020 season, and an offense that ranked in the top five in scoring in three of those four years. The Buccaneers' offense bottomed out in Leftwich's final season with the team, but it's hard to overlook the decline in play we saw from Tom Brady in that final season. During his four years as Tampa Bay's OC, the team ranked sixth in EPA per play and offensive success rate while boasting the third-highest early-down pass rate. Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald seems to be looking for a coordinator who will steer the team in a more balanced approach. It seems unlikely that Leftwich would fit that mold, but it's possible I'd be willing to change up his philosophy with Geno Smith under center and two solid backs in Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet.
