Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Week 12

Fantasy Football

Week 12 is here and the Fantasy Season is getting closer and closer to playoff season. There are teams out there who desperately need some help and the players below may just be the ticket you need to lift you up and get you there.

Last Weeks picks:

QB - Picks were pretty mediocre. Pickett showed some promise with a QB 14 performance. Ryan returned to earlier season numbers with QB 21, and Mayfield looked mediocre at QB 25. RB - White had a bye but look for him to perform this week. Robinson took a step back with RB 25 numbers, and Ingram was almost a zero. WR - Watson crushed it with WR 4 numbers. Campbell was middle of the pack at WR 28, and Westbrook-Ikhne was ugly at WR 61/ TE - Kmet was decent at TE 15. On to Week 12

QB:

  1. Ryan Tannehill - Coming back from injury, he has looked solid. With Burks back, the two seem to have a connection, and big things could lie ahead as we head into fantasy playoffs.
  2. Derek Carr - I have been burned before, but last week Carr looked outstanding with 300+ yards and 2 TDs. It was his best game of the season, and he has two light matchups in the coming weeks.
  3. Andy Dalton - Dalton logged 3 TDs and 260 yards. He might get yanked soon for Winston, but if you are desperate, he might deliver for you.

RB:

  1. Samaje Perine - The Joe Mixon handcuff showed up last week and logged 3 TDs. Perine may give you nothing, but if Mixon goes down, he might be a league winner for you.
  2. Latavius Murray - Gordon is gone, so look for Murray to take over RB 1. He is not the most fantastic option, but he is definitely worth rostering.
  3. James Cook - Cook is definitely the backup, but he is looking strong, and the Bills seem to be more comfortable with him than they were earlier in the season.

WR:

  1. Trylon Burks - Burks woke up last week. Tenn. likes to run on Henry’s back, and the rookie has not shown he can be consistent yet, but he could be a good surprise down the stretch.
  2. Josh Palmer - After assuming he was going to disappear with the return of Williams, Williams got hurt, and Palmer continued to shine. If he was dropped, grab him.
  3. Greg Dortch - Rondale got hurt, and Dortch is the next man up. The game against the 49ers was ugly, but he is worth a flyer, at least for this week.

TE:

  1. Juwan Johnson has had an excellent set of numbers with Dalton, and until that changes, he is worth a start.
