Strange waiver question.
I know the answer I'd usually give here is no but here goes. In a 12 team full point PPR league I'm 9-1. A lock for the playoffs and 1 win away from a 1st rd bye. I am currently 3rd on waivers and considering using it to add the Chiefs D/ST since they have good week 15-16 playoff match ups while the Jets play the Pats and the Cards draw the Pack. My team is already solid:
QB: Palmer and Mariotta
RB: Forte, Charcandrick West, L. Murray, McCoy, K. WIlliams
WR: Antonio Brown, Marshall, Alshon Jeffery
TE: Eifert, Vernon Davis
D/ST: Jets Cardnials
K: Mason Crosby (if do use my waiver on the D I may add Cairo Santos)
So I guess the question is it worth giving up my #3 waiver position for a D because at this time of the year there aren't many must adds that aren't already picked up?
Thanks in advance for any advice!

    I'd rather pick up a core player that someone else might get so you can block them then play the chess game later. Try to get a WR or best player available, then see who everyone else drops.

    Thanks for the advice! Unfortunately I didnt check back here in time. I've alredy blown my position for the D but I did notice3 other people either need a D for the week due to byes or playing the Pats! So I blocked them and one of them is second in my divison.

    The thing about defenses is it's always hit or miss, they can pick up any random D and hit 10-20 points so it's tough to block them. In the future, you're better off looking at a few things first: 1-look at the team you're playing this week, if they need a RB thanks to bye, pick up best available. 2-look at strongest team in your league or division and try to block them by picking up what they need, especially if you're ahead of them on waivers. In turn, just pick best player available and play the chess game later. I love that you're thinking ahead though! Smart playing!

    thanks I'm 9-1 and leading my divison. I did add Tevin Coleman since the 8-2 guy in the other divsion has Freeman. We'll see how it all plays out. As always VSOP thanks for the advice and GL this week!
