Waiver Wire Week 12: Top Pickups, Adds & Fantasy Rankings


We finally survived the barrage of bye weeks as all 32 teams play this week. As you are assessing what to look for on your waiver wire, it is important to note where your team stands. For teams that have locked up a fantasy playoff spot, you want to look for players with upside that have good matchups during your fantasy playoffs which is typically Weeks 14-16. You may not have that luxury as you are fighting for a playoff berth. If so, you need to find the best possible lineup for this week and don't have the luxury to look ahead. My Week 12 waiver wire recommendations include a mix of players you can plug into your lineup along with players that are good stashes for later this season.
