10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 17
Who should you pick up for the final week of the NFL regular season?

Charles Sims, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

ESPN Ownership: 40.1%
Yahoo! Ownership: 29%

Despite playing behind lead back Doug Martin, Charles Sims has had a respectable season for himself so far. Fairly efficient on his relatively few touches, Sims could actually become the first Buc ever to average 5 yards per carry and 10 yards per catch in a single season.

This past Sunday, the backup tailback continued this trend and actually outplayed the starter by turning 5 targets into 3 receptions for 72 yards and a touchdown to go along with 4 carries for 45 yards in the ground game. All in all, his 7 touches contributed an impressive 9.24 combined Rushing and Reception NEP in a Week 16 loss to Chicago.

Given his efficiency in the Bucs' backfield, Sims should be a decent flex option when he takes on the Panthers' 15th-ranked run defense in Week 17.
