Marquise Goodwin Marquise Goodwin, WR, Texas -- He is the Day 2 or 3 lightning bolt in this draft. Unlike past lightning bolts (i.e. Travis Benjamin), he has the skill set to be a starter and not just a niche player. He's a lot more like Mike Wallace as a prospect than just a bubble screen guy. Go route, return specialist burner.

Quinton Patton Quinton Patton, WR, Louisiana Tech -- The small school version of Robert Woods, there is nothing truly special about his game but he has a complete one. He's a safe Day 2 or 3 bet who best fits as a compliment to a more dynamic set of receivers. The Minnesota Vikings immediately come to mind as they have their play maker outside in Greg Jennings and inside in Jarius Wright. Patton would fit in well outside opposite those two.

Zac Stacy Zac Stacy, RB, Vanderbilt -- He's short; not small. He's a proven workhorse back that plays with excellent leverage and pad level. Very consistent option that does not yield many negative plays. Not the ideal lead back but a great second back as he could step into the lead role to cover an injury and not miss a beat.

Stefphon Jefferson, RB, Nevada -- He's getting the ‘this year's Alfred Morris' buzz, and, based off what I've read and seen, deservingly so. High character, hard-working type that's decisive in his runs and has just enough athleticism to beat people. Very good No. 2 back that should be available on Day 3.

Travis Kelce, TE, Cincinnati -- This year's tight end class is deep, but outside of Eifert they are all flawed. Kelce may be the exception, though. His skills as a receiving option are apparent, but his blocking ability is what will get him more playing time than his competition.

Joseph Fauria, TE, UCLA -- Sleeper. He is a great red zone target and is behind in his development because he was misused in college until 2012. He has the ability to be an adequate blocker and only has room to grow as a receiving option. Him and Kelce are why I think it'd be smart to wait until Day 3 to address tight should a TE needy team miss on Eifert.

Jasper Collins, WR, Mount Union -- Call me a sucker for falling in love with the pipeline of wide receiver talent coming from Mount Union, but from what I've seen from Collins he is better at this point in his career than Cecil Shorts at the same time. He needs to add some strength, but he will be starting in the NFL in a few years.

Zac Dysert, QB, Miami (OH) -- A misfit for his college system and poor wide receiver play can...

Cecil Shorts (concussions) has been cleared for football activities.

We haven't had an update on Shorts since he was placed on injured reserve on Christmas Eve after suffering his second concussion in a month. So this is good news because, as we've seen with teammate Laurent Robinson, head injuries can derail a career. If the Jaguars can find a quarterback in 2013, Shorts can be a top-20 fantasy receiver.

Waiver Wire Wonders - Week 17 (fantasysharks.com)

Even with only one week of the NFL season to go, the waiver wonders never cease! The pickings are slim, but there are a few stars shining brighter than the others that can guide you to sweet victory in Week 17. A pair get mentioned as solid pickups, with a handful of players after that in the deeper categories. Something for everyone this week!

Solid Pickup

RB Ryan Grant, Green Bay

The Packers continue to lose running backs, with Alex Green joining the ranks of Cedric Benson and James Starks on the sideline. Green was a surprising scratch this week, handing not only the starting job, but the position of only trustworthy back dressed in this week's game against the Tennessee TItans. Grant responded with more than 100 yards in total offense to go along with two touchdowns. The status of Green will determine how many times Grant will touch the ball in the finale against the Minnesota Vikings, at the very least we expect that Grant will get 60-75 percent of the workload, which is enough to warrant fantasy consideration for those in need at the position.

K Blair Walsh, Minnesota

A week after drilling a trio of kicks from more than 50 yards (on a day where he connected five times in total!), Walsh backed that effort up by connecting three times against the Houston Texans, including once from more than 50 yards. The Vikings will be home the final week of the season, in a must win game against their divisional rival Green Bay Packers. Every point will be crucial, and look for Walsh to continue his hot streak with another strong performance to close out a tremendous rookie season.

On the Radar

RB Montell Owens, Jacksonville

With Maurice Jones-Drew still on the shelf, Owens tabulated more than 100 yards in total offense against the New England Patriots. He is splitting time with Richard Murphy, but a weak Tennessee squad is on the schedule for this upcoming week. The status of Jones-Drew may cut into Owens' time, but, if he does not play, Owens will have the opportunity to put up another 100 yards of total offense.

WR Jason Avant, Philadelphia

Nick Foles has been using Avant as his checkdown over the middle, so Avant has been racking up the catches of late. He has caught 19 passes in the last four games, including eight for 70 yards this week against the Washington Redskins. Especially in points per reception leagues, Avant is worth considering.

TE Lance Kendricks, St. Louis

What a sight it was to see Kendricks lumbering down the field on his way...

Jaguars placed WR Cecil Shorts (concussion) on season-ending injured reserve.

Rashad Jennings (shoulder) and LB Greg Jones (leg) have also been placed on I.R. Shorts sustained his second concussion in three weeks in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, and was doubtful to be cleared in time for Week 17. WR Jerrell Jackson has been promoted from the practice squad to replace him on the active roster.

Cecil Shorts sustained another concussion in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

It's Shorts' second concussion since Week 13 and it will almost certainly keep him out of the season finale. The breakout playmaker had already expressed concern about his long-term health while dealing recovering from his first concussion. Teammates Laurent Robinson and Clint Session have had major complications since sustaining their brain injuries.
