At quarterback, Michael Penix Jr. (knee) was positioned on injured reserve and might be out for the season, whereas Aaron Rodgers (wrist) may miss Week 12 at Chicago. Kirk Cousins and Mason Rudolph aren’t going to be choices in one-quarterback leagues, however each might be helpful in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues, which we’ll talk about beneath.

At working again, Josh Jacobs (knee), Jaylen Warren (ankle), Emari Demercado (ankle) and Bhayshul Tuten (ankle) have been all injured in Week 11, though Tuten seems like he’ll play in Week 12 at Arizona. Jacobs and Warren might be out in Week 12, which might make Emanuel Wilson and Kenneth Gainwell big priorities off the waiver wire. And if Demercado is out, together with Trey Benson (knee) nonetheless on injured reserve, then Zonovan Knight is value including in all leagues.

Drake London (knee) was the largest damage at extensive receiver, and it seems like he’ll miss Week 12 at New Orleans. Does that imply you must add Darnell Mooney?

And with Chase suspended for one sport after the NFL decided he spit on Pittsburgh’s Jalen Ramsey in Week 11, the Bengals now need assistance at extensive receiver for Week 12 in opposition to New England. That makes Andrei Iosivas value including within the majority of leagues.

Week 12 Waivers

On a bye: Bo Nix, Justin Herbert, Tua Tagovailoa, Jayden Daniels and Marcus Mariota

Accidents: Aaron Rodgers (wrist), Michael Penix Jr. (knee), Dillon Gabriel (concussion) Joe Burrow (toe), Jaxson Dart (concussion), Jayden Daniels (elbow), C.J. Stroud (concussion), Kyler Murray (foot) and Anthony Richardson (eye).

Verify to see if out there in shallow leagues: Sam Darnold (84 % rostered), Joe Burrow (83 %), Brock Purdy (83 %) and Joe Flacco (79 %). Darnold struggled on the Rams in Week 11 with 4.3 Fantasy factors, however that was a troublesome matchup. His upcoming schedule is simpler in opposition to Tennessee, Minnesota, Atlanta and Indianapolis, and he can nonetheless be thought-about a low-end starter in these video games. … Burrow is aiming to return in Week 13, and hopefully that is nonetheless the plan. When wholesome, Burrow presents top-five upside, and he needs to be stashed in all leagues. … Purdy is the prize right here, and he returned from his six-game absence with a toe damage in Week 11 at Arizona and scored 25.3 Fantasy factors. He presents must-start upside to shut the season, and he needs to be added in all leagues the place out there. … Flacco may solely begin another sport with Burrow hoping to return in Week 13, and it is not a simple matchup in Week 12 in opposition to New England, particularly with out Ja’Marr Chase (suspended). However Flacco has scored at the least 28.3 Fantasy factors in three house video games in Cincinnati, and I might nonetheless belief him as a low-end beginning quarterback in opposition to the Patriots.

Drop candidates: Aaron Rodgers (75 % rostered), Marcus Mariota (56 %), J.J. McCarthy (55 %), Michael Penix Jr. (45 %) and Justin Fields (39 %). Though it is his non-throwing wrist, Rodgers is both going to play at lower than 100% or miss time, and he does not supply sufficient upside to take that danger. I like his matchup at Chicago in Week 12, however Rodgers may be dropped in all one-quarterback leagues now that he is coping with this damage. … Mariota may be dropped with Washington on a bye in Week 12, and we’ll see if Jayden Daniels (elbow) is ready to play when the Commanders return to motion in Week 13. Washington additionally performs Denver in that sport, and you will not belief Mariota in opposition to the Broncos in any one-quarterback leagues. … McCarthy has mixed for twenty-four.7 Fantasy factors in his previous two video games in opposition to Baltimore and Chicago, and you may’t belief him in one-quarterback leagues in Week 12 at Inexperienced Bay or Week 13 at Seattle. … Penix (knee) is headed to injured reserve, and his season might be over. The earliest he might return to motion is Week 16, and Fantasy managers in one-quarterback leagues will not be beginning him within the playoffs. … Fields is predicted to be benched in Week 12 in favor of Tyrod Taylor. There’s little cause to roster Fields in one-quarterback leagues for the remainder of the season, and he scored 8.9 Fantasy factors or much less in three of his previous 4 video games.

Benson will hopefully return to motion quickly after lacking the previous six video games, and he might end the season as a No. 2 Fantasy working again in all leagues. He is value stashing in all codecs the place he is nonetheless out there. … Allgeier scored one other landing in Week 11 in opposition to Carolina, and he has now scored a landing in 5 of his previous seven video games. The Falcons may lean extra on their floor sport in Week 12 at New Orleans with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Drake London (knee) banged up, and Allgeier needs to be thought-about a flex choice in that matchup.

Drop candidates: Jacory Croskey-Merritt (89 % rostered), J.Okay Dobbins (70 %) and Nick Chubb (66 %). Croskey-Merritt just isn’t value holding in your roster in redraft leagues with the Commanders on a bye in Week 12. It seems like Chris Rodridguez Jr. is one of the best working again for Washington shifting ahead, and Croskey-Merritt has scored 5.8 PPR factors or much less in six video games in a row. … Dobbins (foot) was positioned on injured reserve and can miss the remainder of the common season, which is unlucky. He’s not value preserving in your roster in redraft leagues. … Chubb had a season-low three carries in Week 11 at Tennessee, and he completed with 17 yards, together with no catches on two targets. Woody Marks has taken over the Texans’ backfield, and hopefully that continues so long as Marks is wholesome. Chubb may be dropped in all leagues heading into Week 12 in opposition to Buffalo.

Allen has scored 9.3 PPR factors or much less in 4 video games in a row, and he isn’t value holding on most rosters in 10-team leagues with the Chargers on a bye in Week 12. … Moore has mixed for one catch for 18 yards on seven targets in his previous two video games in opposition to the Giants and Vikings.

When you’ve got an IR spot then stash Wilson, but when not then you may drop him in 10-team leagues given the uncertainty along with his well being. … Coleman was a wholesome scratch in Week 11 in opposition to Tampa Bay after he missed a crew assembly Friday.

Verify to see if out there in shallow leagues: Kyle Pitts (82 % rostered) and Theo Johnson (74 %). The final time we had Kirk Cousins beginning for Michael Penix Jr. (knee), together with Drake London (knee) out, was in Week 8 in opposition to Miami. Pitts had 9 catches for 59 yards on 9 targets in that sport, and he might have comparable manufacturing in Week 12 on the Saints. He needs to be added in all leagues. … Johnson had a down sport in Week 11 in opposition to Inexperienced Bay with three catches for 36 yards on 4 targets, however he scored at the least 10.7 PPR factors in 5 of his earlier seven video games previous to dealing with the Packers. I am nonetheless assured in Johnson as a low-end starter in all leagues heading into Week 12 at Detroit, particularly if Darius Slayton (hamstring) is out.

Drop candidates: Sam LaPorta (91 % rostered), Zach Ertz (85 %), T.J. Hockenson (64 %), David Njoku (64 %) and Evan Engram (44 %).

There’s little cause to belief Hockenson in most leagues heading into Week 12 at Inexperienced Bay. … Njoku heads into Week 12 with three catches for 28 yards and a landing on 4 targets in his previous two outings in opposition to the Jets and Ravens. Will probably be powerful to belief Njoku within the majority of leagues in Week 12 in opposition to the Raiders with Shedeur Sanders beginning for the Browns, and Harold Fannin Jr. continues to outplay Njoku. I nonetheless like Fannin (70 % rostered) as a low-end starter in most leagues, however Njoku may be dropped. … Engram heads into his bye in Week 12 having scored 7.6 PPR factors or much less in 4 video games in a row, and he hasn’t scored a landing since Week 5.
