Fantasy Football Week 17 Waiver Wire Wide Receiver Pickups feat. Alec Pierce, Parker Washington

Week 17 of the fantasy football season is here, which means this could be your last opportunity to add a useful option to your wide receiver room. With everything on the line, you must check every nook and cranny, or find someone to do it for you. Sportskeeda has stepped up to the plate.

Here's a look at four receivers you cannot ignore in Week 17.

#4 - Mack Hollins, New England Patriots (4.1% rostered)

Mack Hollins is coming off one of his biggest games of the season, logging seven catches for 69 yards on nine targets. Hollins' New England Patriots will face the New York Jets in Week 17, which sets the stage for another quality outing.

Of course, he will need to get his fantasy football points early with a potential blowout on the horizon and a likely run-heavy script in the second half.

#3 - Jalen Coker, Carolina Panthers (12.2% rostered)

Jalen Coker is no stranger to the waiver wire and once again offers upside. The receiver has earned double-digit points in PPR leagues in three of his last five games.

You could do worse than Coker, especially against a tough Seattle Seahawks defense that could force Bryce Young away from his first read for much of the contest.

#2 - Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars (12.9% rostered)

Parker Washington has exploded in the last month, piling up at least 17 points in PPR leagues in four games since Week 9. His best game was against the Denver Broncos, which featured a deep enough secondary to make Washington the breaking point as the third-string receiver.

Washington could get plenty of big plays against the depleted Indianapolis Colts in Week 17, making him a must-add option for fantasy football teams.

#1 - Alec Pierce, Indianapolis Colts (47.3% rostered)

Alec Pierce has earned double-digit points in three of his last four games, including 24.6 points against the San Francisco 49ers. With the Jacksonville Jaguars coming up next, the Colts could find themselves trailing in another shootout in Week 17, which would make it a great opportunity for Pierce to log one more big showing.

Philip Rivers is unlikely to play the entire contest with Indianapolis all but eliminated, but if it is a mix of Riley Leonard and the veteran, Pierce could still earn a full day's work in a half.

Shane Steichen's recent comments, as reported in a Dec. 16 Pro Football Talk transcript, suggest at least one more look at Rivers, as the head coach was blunt in stating that the team "didn’t bring him in here to sit on the bench."

If you're in desperate need of a receiver you can count on in the fantasy football championship, Pierce makes plenty of sense.
