Looking like I might squeak out a win this week.  Even if I don't I should remain the #2 seed in my league.  But there are enough teams that could challenge me for that spot and things go really poorly I could even find myself on the outside looking in if I don't win next week (especially if I don't pull it out this week.    In our league we have a waiver priority number rather than a FAB system.  The priorities don't reset each week. So I currently have the #2 priority.  If I use it I move to the back of the line.  I've been hit hard with injuries and COVID so the waiver wire has been extra important down the stretch. I'm wondering if there is a player out there that is a must add that would be worth spending my priority on this week or if I should just hold off this week or for the post season (Weeks 15-16), when there are more clear must adds.  Some players I'm looking at are Debo Samual, Cam Akers, Devante Booker (if Jacobs can't go), Latavious Murray, Jamaal Williams, Kirk Cousins.  Should I hold off and see who clears waivers.  I usually wake up early on the mornings after the waivers are processed to see who cleared.

Great question. I wouldn't make a move just to use up your waiver priority if there isn't a need, especially one you can use over multiple weeks. Akers seems like the best bet to at least provide weekly points, even in a RBBC backfield and Murray will always give you 5-6 pts at a minimum week in and week out. If Samuel is available, he probably has the highest upside and will be heavily targeted in SF's offense. So if I had to choose one guy out of those 3, it would be Samuel.

Samual, Akers, Booker, Murry, and Williams are all available.  I'm tempted to go after Samual and I'm pretty sure he won't clear waivers.  My current roster is:

QB - Rodgers

RBs - Kareem Hunt, Wayne Gallman, David Johnson, Duke Johnson, Mike Davis, and Gus Edwards.

WRs - Hopkins, Theilen, Diante Johnson, Jakobi Meyers, Christian Kirk, Michael Pittman, and Dez Bryant.

TEs - Ebron and Kittle

K - Crosby

D/ST - Seahawks

We have 3 RES slots which currently I have Theilen, David Johnson, and Kittle in.   I'll drop someone to move Theilan out and another if David Johnson returns.  Likely will drop Dez, Christian Kirk, Gus Edwards, possibly even pitman.  I think I'll hang on to Duke and Davis given the fragility of Johnson and McCaffery.   I've become concerned about some guys like Hopkins and Hunt.  I don't have the greatest confidence in my RB's and only slightly more in my WR's. If Hopkins can return to form and getting Thailen back helps.  Diante's been a decent pickup but the rest are meh.   On the bright side Ebron and Diante did enough yesterday to help me squeak out a win and remain in the #2 seed.  But I'm looking to try and patch some holes before playoffs start and possibly limp to the finish line.   The team started out the season strong but hit the skids there's only 4 players on my roster that I actually drafted (Hunt, David Johnson, Kittle, Hopkins, and Theilen.  Thank goodness I traded Brees earlier in the season.
