Week 12 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire

QB: Jacoby Brissett

Brissett will be taking on a lackluster Texans defense. With the emergence of Jonathan Williams in relief of Marlon Mack, the secondary likely will be scrambling to play any type of defense.

Proj: 250+ yards/3 TDs/0 TO’s

WR1: Chris Conley

DJ Charke is undoubtedly this team's top wideout, knowing that, Conley will be a nice secondary piece this week for Nick Foles. He didn’t have a crazy game last week, a breakout or anything but, I think teams will finally begin respecting Charke and open up holes for other receivers. Tennessee is not gonna see what hit them…

Proj: 6 REC/70+ yards/1 TD

WR2: Taylor Gabriel

The Bears are taking on the Giants awful secondary. This is normally where Trubisky makes his money, so I don’t see them stopping Gabriel. He is a field stretcher, and Trubisky will likely be airing it out.

Proj: 5 REC/100+ yards/2 TDs

RB1: Bo Scarbrough

Scar didn’t have a flashy game at any means but, I believe that Detroit can see the potential of using him like Kerryon Johnson was used. A power brute back that will command 15-20+ carries a game. He can control the game for the Lions pride while Stafford is still out with an injury. Also, they are playing the Redskins...

Proj: 17+ CAR/90+ yards/2 TDs

RB2: Jonathan Williams

Williams, last week proved he can lead this teams rushing attack in the absence of Marlon Mack. He went for a score in a dominant victory against one of the best defensive lines in the league, ‘Sacksonville’. This week he takes on a JJ Watt-less Texans front. It should be easy sailing for the Indianapolis back.

Proj: 20+ touches/120+ total yards/1 TD

TE: Ryan Griffin

In the last few weeks, Griffin has made a name for himself in New York. With Chris Herndon injured, and unlikely to return, Griffin has been handed the reigns to command the tight end position. He has succeeded in going for more than 90 yards twice this season. I don’t expect Oakland to slow him down

Proj: 8 REC/90+ yards/1 TD

Flex: Dallas Goedert

Typically you wouldn’t put a tight end at flex, but I think that this matchup is too good to pass up on. Goedert will be the main target next week against Seattle because, Bobby Wagner will be shadowing Zach Ertz the whole game, leaving the athletic Goedert against an old KJ Wright. I expect Goedert to have a good game against the Seahawks, and bring Philly back on track.

Proj: 5 REC/60+ yards/1 TD

K: Younghoe Koo

The Falcons are finally emerging as the team they are, and Koo is apart of it. He has been money since debuting for Atlanta. Dan Quinn is gaining trust in the young kicker and will probably allow him to take his shots 50+ yards out if the opportunity presents itself.

Proj: 4 XPM/3 FGM

Defense: Atlanta Falcons

Yes, I am now screaming for you to trust me on this! The remainder of the season, this Falcons defense is a fantasy START! They are barely owned in and leagues. It’s now or never to pick them up. They are taking on famous Jameis this week, which is a nice matchup for Atlanta. Pick the defense up and start them!!!!

Proj: 3-10 points allowed/3 INTs/4 sacks
