The draft might be the most alluring thing to fantasy football, but the waiver wire is a close second.
In a way, the waiver wire is a season-long draft owners must hit out of the park each week to stay in contention. The right move will help owners survive injuries, tough matchups and more—look at Chicago Bears running back Jeremy Langford, who now has 22 or more points in two straight games playing in place of starter Matt Forte.
Such chances at elite production can keep a strong team in the running and help a struggling team claw back up the standings.
