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.

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.

Edgerrin Cooper has solidified his position as the Green Bay Packers' LB2, surpassing Isaiah McDuffie. Meanwhile, Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter have shown impressive performances, boosting their value for IDP managers.

Various linebackers are stepping up due to injuries, including Nate Landman for the Atlanta Falcons and Mack Wilson Sr. for the Arizona Cardinals. Other notable mentions include Mohamoud Diabate for the Cleveland Browns and Damone Clark for the Dallas Cowboys as they navigate their respective roles amidst injuries.

As Week 7 approaches, fantasy IDP managers face significant challenges due to injuries to key defensive players. Notable absences include Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, who is expected to miss several weeks, and several others from the Cardinals, Falcons, Broncos, and Commanders.

To navigate these injuries, managers should consider picking up players like Micah McFadden from the New York Giants and Dorian Williams from the Buffalo Bills, both showing promise in their respective roles. Other recommended pickups include Trevin Wallace from the Carolina Panthers and Krys Barnes from the Arizona Cardinals.

Defensive line options include Boye Mafe of the Seattle Seahawks and Jonathan Greenard of the Minnesota Vikings, both of whom have been impactful. Additionally, cornerbacks and safeties like Jaquan Brisker from the Chicago Bears and DeShon Elliott from the Pittsburgh Steelers are also worth considering as they continue to make significant contributions.

The San Francisco 49ers faced a tough loss against the Arizona Cardinals, falling 24-23 after a series of mistakes in the second half. Coach Kyle Shanahan highlighted quarterback Brock Purdy's delayed response to a crucial blitz that led to an interception, sealing the game for Arizona.

Despite leading 23-10 at halftime, the 49ers struggled offensively, with Purdy throwing two interceptions and a fumble from running back Jordan Mason. Shanahan expressed disappointment in the team's inability to maintain their lead and finish strong.
