Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: QB | RB | WR | TE | PK | DT

If you are serious about winning your fantasy league football championship, stay on top of your fantasy football team throughout the year.

Each week during the NFL fantasy football season, KFFL brings you its Fantasy Football Waiver Wire, which breaks down players to pick up. Be aggressive when picking up fantasy football free agents. Even if you do not need a player, you can tuck him away for depth or block others from adding him to their fantasy football team.

Fantasy football free agents: Look to acquire

The following players will have greater significance in deep fantasy football leagues. In shallow fantasy football leagues, they are not as high of a priority but should be considered based on your fantasy football team's needs.

Alex D. Smith, San Francisco 49ers (61 percent)

Smith prefers the spread

Tight end Vernon Davis and wideout Michael Crabtree form one of the most intriguing up-and-coming pass-catching duos in the league. When the Niners have employed variations of the spread formation with Smith at QB, the former No. 1 overall pick has delivered ... some nice numbers. There's still plenty of doubt that he can hold a starting job in this league, but while he has it, pay attention to his sked.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions line it. All of them, save Philly, are in the bottom third of the league in pass defense. The same teams are in the bottom half of the NFL in fantasy points allowed to the position per game. Arizona has been a little tougher lately, but the Eagles could be more vulnerable. If your Super Bowl falls in Week 17, throw in the St. Louis Rams.
