Week 12 is here, marking the start of the third month of the fantasy football season. What started in t-shirts, shorts, and sunglasses continues in thick coats, caps, and gloves. With the temperatures continuing to drop, however, the competition is heating up. Adding a new twist this week is a waiver wire perhaps more bizarre than any this season.

Top Fantasy Football Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

Waiver Wire RB adds for Week 12

1] Bam Knight, Arizona Cardinals

Trey Benson is still working through his injury, but Bam Knight appears to be fully healthy. As such, with Emari Demercado dealing with his own injury troubles that are expected to sideline him for Week 12, per NFL insider Adam Schefter, Knight is in line for a solid week of action.

With the Jacksonville Jaguars on deck and set to continue with their high-powered offense, the Cardinals have little choice but to attempt to run down the clock by extending drives on the ground, giving Knight a moment to shine.

2] Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars

Bhayshul Tuten saw a season-high in carries against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 11, but is now working through an injury. Adding Tuten might not see an instant return, but if he can heal and keep a similar carry split with Travis Etienne in future weeks, you will be glad you got him.

The Jacksonville Jaguars face the Tennessee Titans, Arizona Cardinals, and New York Jets over the course of the next month, which could set up plenty of second halves with extra rushing attempts for Tuten if he can get back to 100%.

3] Emanuel Wilson, Green Bay Packers

Josh Jacobs' health is arguably the biggest question in the NFC North, as the starting back failed to finish his Week 11 outing. Emanuel Wilson is in line to soak up much of the carries in Week 12 if Jacobs can't play.

Even if Jacobs does suit up, he is unlikely to receive his full workload, giving at least a one-game fantasy football boost to Wilson.

Waiver Wire WR adds for Week 12

1] Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals

Ad

Michael Wilson had a Marvin Harrison Jr.-like day against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Wilson tallied 18 targets, 15 catches, and 185 yards. The wide receiver is sitting on the waiver wire in most cases, so make sure to put in a claim on your fantasy football waiver wire.

If you can win the sweepstakes, you might have a fantasy football league-winning receiver if he can maintain his production spike for a few more games.

2] Greg Dortch, Arizona Cardinals

Greg Dortch didn't see the same nuclear spike in production that Michael Wilson did, but he saw his own fantasy football spike, giving managers two receivers to pursue on the waiver wire this week.

Ad

Dortch's six catches for 66 yards and a touchdown came in a blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers, suggesting that he could continue to receive targets and production as long as Marvin Harrison Jr. continues to miss time.

Waiver Wire TE adds for Week 12

1] David Njoku, Cleveland Browns

Ad

David Njoku has caught a touchdown in three of his last five games. He didn't deliver one in Week 11 in the perennial defensive struggle that is often the Baltimore Ravens-Cleveland Browns showdown, but he is likely to bounce back in the coming weeks.

Ad

The Browns face the Las Vegas Raiders and San Francisco 49ers, who both allowed big passing games in Week 11.

2] Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new mix of skill position players every week, but Cade Otton has been relatively consistent by tight end standards. Otton has earned at least seven catches in two of his last four games.

He's still looking for the end zone, but as far as tight ends go, you can do much worse than the starting tight end of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
