The waiver wire for Week 17 presents several intriguing options for fantasy football managers, particularly in light of injuries across various teams.

Jaylon Carlies of the Indianapolis Colts emerges as a top target if E.J. Speed remains sidelined. The Buffalo Bills also face defensive challenges, creating opportunities for players in linebacker and safety positions.

Other notable mentions include Owen Pappoe from the Arizona Cardinals and Jacoby Windmon of the Carolina Panthers, both of whom could see increased playing time due to injuries on their respective teams.

The Tennessee Titans are facing a linebacker crisis after Otis Reese IV sustained an ankle injury during their game against the Indianapolis Colts. With several key players already sidelined, including Jerome Baker and Luke Gifford, the team is left with limited options.

Rookies Cedric Gray and James Williams may see increased playing time as the Titans adapt to their depleted roster. The team is hoping for a quick recovery for Reese as they trail the Colts in the second quarter.

Minkah Fitzpatrick's performance is on the rise, and his role may be pivotal depending on DeShon Elliott's health as they approach Week 16.

The Tennessee Titans linebackers situation is complex, with various injuries and depth options creating potential opportunities for IDP managers.

Several players, including Krys Barnes and Dorian Williams, are highlighted as waiver wire targets, with their roles fluctuating based on injuries to teammates.
