Waiver Hub – Week 12
Happy Tuesday, Mike here, welcome back to my weekly Waiver HUB.
Week 12 is rapidly approaching with a TNF matchup between the Bills and Texans. Houston is the home team, but Buffalo is favored by 5.5 points. The total points over/under is currently set at 43.5.
Fantasy football is up and running, so it is time to make some moves and prepare for fantasy post season greatness. Injuries are inevitable so here is another chance to hit the waiver wire and get impactful players. Another week gone, another opportunity to make your team stronger and inch your way to that league trophy and an offseason of bragging rights.
Below are my top waiver wire priorities this week. Get those available players to help your chances at a championship. Good luck this week and remember to check back every week to stay informed on who you could target off waivers.
TOP PRIORITY OF THE WEEK
Sean Tucker – Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Have a week, Sean Tucker! Tucker led the Bucs in carries, rushing yards, and rushing TDs. He finished with 19 carries, 106 rushing yards, and 2 rushing TDs. If that were not enough, Tucker also caught both his targets for 34 receiving yards and an additional receiving TD. Tucker could be one of the late season league winners as he has proven to be an efficient RB.
Quarterbacks
Jacoby Brissett – Arizona Cardinals
Jacoby has made 5 starts this season and has thrown 2 TD passes in each of those games. Not only that but he has 250+ passing yards in each as well. He outdid himself in week 11 throwing for 452 passing yards. He has also been showing off some of his ability to run. Brissett should be in for another sold game against the Jaguars this week.
Running Backs
Chris Rodriguez Jr – Washington Commanders
Chris Rodriguez led the Commanders in carries in week 11 rushing 15 times. Next best was Croskey-Merritt with 9 carries. Chris also led his team in rushing yards with 79. Commanders are making it clear that there is not an RB1 but more like a 2 or 3 headed rushing attack. If Chris is getting the most action, he is the best bet for the rest of the season if you need a RB.

Wide Receivers
Mack Hollins – New England Patriots
Backpack Mack has had an up and down season but has come on lately and people are taking notice. He caught 4 of his 5 targets in week 11 for 64 yards and that is following his 106-yard effort the week prior. Mack has 2 TDs on the year and has 49+ receiving yards in 4 of his last 5 games. Drake Maye is on MVP watch and Hollins is helping.
Christian Watson – Green Bay Packers
Christian Watson has been back playing now for 4 weeks. In those 4 weeks he has 4+ targets in each game and 45+ receiving yards in each game. In week 11 he exploded for 2 receiving TDs when the Packers needed him most. The Packer’s remaining schedule is promising for Watson.
Tight Ends
Dalton Schultz – Houston Texans
Dalton has had a quiet season in the TD department, but not the pass catching department in general. He did finally score in week 10 FYI. Dalton has 5+ receptions in 7 of his last 8 games and 50+ receiving yards in 5 of his last 6 games. Schultz has produced with both Stroud and Mills at QB.
