With the fantasy playoff season upon us, here's a comprehensive list of players worth considering at the following positions: QB, RB, WR, TE and D/ST. Players are in order of how I would prioritize them on the waiver wire, and they are ranked by position, not relative to all players on the list.

As a general rule, I focus only upon players available in more than 50 percent of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.

The suggestions below are a function of matchups, expected opportunities and other factors:

Quarterbacks

1. Seahawks QB Russell Wilson (owned in 22 percent of Yahoo! leagues) — Has now thrown multiple TD passes in five consecutive games, and he gets favorable matchups in the next two weeks (vs. Arizona, at Buffalo). Simply one of the best players available in the bulk of fantasy leagues.

2. Eagles QB Nick Foles (six percent) — He merits another look from fantasy owners. He comes off his best game of the season, and he’s the Eagles’ starter for the balance of the season. What’s more, the Eagles face the NFL’s worst pass defense Sunday at Tampa Bay. For those taking a longer view, Foles also draws the Redskins’ No. 31-ranked pass defense in Week 16. In short, there’s a lot to like here.

3. Bills QB Ryan Fitzpatrick (43 percent) — He’s a reasonable pickup, but Buffalo’s next two opponents (St. Louis, Seattle) can be tough vs. the pass. I prefer the rookies ahead of him on this list.

4. Rams QB Sam Bradford (21 percent) — I like his matchups in the next three weeks (at Buffalo, vs. Minnesota, at Tampa Bay). Sleeper.

5. Titans QB Jake Locker (17 percent) — Talented, but a hit-and-miss fantasy proposition.
