The 2017 NFL season is nearing the halfway point, which means fantasy football owners should start getting a bit antsy about a slow start.
An owner could chalk up one or two rough weeks early in the year as bad luck. Maybe a key player had an underwhelming performance, or perhaps you encountered the wrong matchup at the wrong time. Bad luck can't be an excuse anymore for teams that are 2-5 or worse heading into Week 8.
The good news is, plenty of solid players populate the waiver wire. Adding the right reinforcements at this point could help your team crawl out of the bottom of the standings and into a playoff seed.
