Having a good fantasy draft sets a team up really well, but most of the time to win a fantasy football league, acquisitions need to be made during the season. Each week there are several players worth exploring on the waiver wire. Here are fantasy football players to add week 17. (Note: These are best used for standard scoring leagues. All players are rostered in less than 50 percent of ESPN leagues.)

1. Blake Corum, RB, Los Angeles Rams

Corum continues to produce and isn’t being picked up at a high rate. He has four straight double-digit scoring games. In week 16, he had 14 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown against the Seattle Seahawks.

Kyren Williams is still the lead back, but Corum is worth rostering. He is getting a decent amount of the workload and that trend seems like it is going to continue. Corum is rostered in just 29.9 percent of ESPN leagues.

2. Michael Carter, RB, Arizona Cardinals

The Cardinals continue to have running back injuries this season. Bam Knight was just placed on IR, so he joins James Conner and Trey Benson as running backs who are out for the season. Michael Carter has been getting plenty of work the last few weeks. In week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, he had 11 carries for 65 yards.

Carter figures to take the early-down work for the Cardinals, while Emari Demarcado will be used on passing downs. That should be enough of a workload for Carter to have a couple of successful weeks down the stretch. He is rostered in just 39 percent of ESPN leagues.

3. Chris Rodriguez Jr., RB, Washington Commanders
