2023 NFL fantasy football waiver wire, Week 16: QB Jake Browning, RB Ty Chandler among top targets

Ho, ho, ho -- hello there! If you won a game in the first round of the fantasy playoffs to get here, congratulations. If you made it to this point via bye, I hope you're feeling fresh and well-rested.

Now it's crunch time.

As a playoff contender, you should have your fair share of studs to start, but with the ever-changing landscape that is fantasy football, there are waiver-wire players worth a look, as well!

As always, these are the most intriguing players who are rostered in less than 60 percent of NFL.com leagues. If you have questions, my DMs are open: @MattOkada on Twitter ... or X ... or whatever it is.

And of course, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate!

GUY TO 'STACHE: I write the first draft of this column on Sunday night. That was just a few hours after Ron Rivera had pulled Sam Howell for Jacoby Brissett late in the loss to the Rams. On a total of 10 pass attempts, Brissett logged eight completions, 124 yards and two touchdowns (for a 157.9 passer rating). During his postgame press conference, Rivera said Howell remains the team's starting quarterback. But if that changes as the week progresses, and you're desperate in a two-QB league, you could consider the veteran passer against the Jets. Emphasis on "desperate" and "two-QB league."

GUYS TO 'STACHE: With only two weeks left in the fantasy season, this is less about "guys to 'stache" and more about "guys to consider if all else fails on a deep roster in a deep league." Roschon Johnson led all Bears running backs with 11 opportunities on Sunday, importantly highlighted by six targets (of which he caught four). Johnson and Chicago draw arguably fantasy's best RB matchup this week in the Cardinals -- he could have a surprise day. Keep an eye on the RB room in
