11/6/2016 - SUNDAY - 6:00 PM PT: The following waiver wire is a quick first look at certain players who could make a solid fantasy impact each Sunday night during the season. They may or may not be free agents in your league, but we want to ensure you know about them in order to have the first chance at a possible free agent acquisition. This list does NOT replace our free-agent feature released on Tuesday nights ("The Market"). You should consider it an abbreviated early-bird bonus list with a quick 1-2 lines of fantasy analysis. Note: This list is NOT AN EXACT RANKING, but rather just a quick list with pseudo preference from best to worst. Our official free-agent rankings for the week will be released in Tuesday's "Market" feature...
