The article discusses several key players to consider for Fantasy Football waiver wire pickups as the season approaches its end. One of the highlighted players is Jalen McMillan, a wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who has shown significant improvement in his performance after a slow start to the season. With Chris Godwin sidelined due to an ankle injury, McMillan has seized the opportunity, posting impressive fantasy point totals across his last three games. His ability to make contested catches and improve his route running has made him a valuable asset in the Bucs' passing attack, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Additionally, the piece covers Ameer Abdullah from the Las Vegas Raiders, who had a standout game in Week 16, contributing significantly to his team's offense. Alexander Mattison is also mentioned as he takes on a larger role in the Raiders' backfield following an injury to Sincere McCormick. Meanwhile, Patrick Taylor Jr. is expected to be the primary back for the San Francisco 49ers, and Michael Penix Jr. has been recommended for addition in leagues as he steps in for the benched Kirk Cousins in Atlanta. Lastly, Brenton Strange from the Jacksonville Jaguars is noted for his high target volume, making him a potential addition in PPR leagues.
