At this point of the fantasy season, the wavier wire is becoming supremely thin which may limit the amount of navigation that can be done. Outside of minimal improvements or covering your basis on Covid players, injures weren’t as prevalent this past week. In attempts to still stack your bench while limiting your opposition from holding possible earning talents, we must be diligent in possible pick ups this week. Let’s dive into this week’s edition of wavier wire targets.

Taysom Hill (NO) (43%)
With confusion as to why the Saints chose Taysom Hill over Jameis Winston to start last week, the landscape is clearer as his skillset fits the alterations of the game plan. Hill will always possess the ability to run which will lift his point levels. If your stuck for a quarterback, Hill isn’t a terrible option this week.
The Vikings are beginning to roll and are utilizing the play action pass based on the strong running of Dalvin Cook. Kirk Cousins is taking care of the ball very well and has only throw one interception over the past four weeks. Having another good matchup at home – Cousins isn’t a bad fill in if needed this week.
Matchup appeal is the name of the game when we discuss the Raiders Derek Carr in week 12. Facing the Falcons who fell back down to earth last week, Carr and the Raiders are a team on the rise showing they can compete with anyone in the league. There is always a risk to playing Carr, but the matchup is far to glorious to pass up.
Teddy Bridgewater (CAR) (39%)
PJ Walker (CAR) (2%)
Philip Rivers (IND) (26%)
Alex Smith (WAS) (10%)
Joe Flacco (NYJ) (3%)
Gus Edwards (BAL) (28%)
With a Covid breakout in the Ravens locker room, J.K Dobbins and Mark Ingram will not suit up for this contest, leaving Gus Edwards to be the lead back. While this game could also be in jeopardy of even playing, we must move forward with what we know today. Edwards should be the primary source of volume and would be a safe bet this week of having a very safe floor.
The Jets are the first club to be eliminated from playoff contention, but Frank Gore is still running full. With La’Mical Perine being lost to injury for the next couple weeks, Gore will again have his place as the team starting back. The floor is always very low when thinking to start Gore, but if your stuck – he may be a sound choice this week.
Much like the evaluation for Gus Edwards, Justice Hill will likely get back in the mix at some point in this contest and could be viewed as a fill in. The risk here is much greater than with Edwards obviously, but there is PPR potential to be had with Hill playing in specialty situations. In deeper leagues he is one to look at, while in regular leagues, it’s a heavy risk to reward value marker.
Cam Akers (LAR) (30%)
Sony Michel (NE) (27%)
Benny Snell (PIT) (5%)
Devontae Booker (LVR) (10%)
Tony Pollard (DAL) (19%)
Jordan Howard (PHI) (17%)
Michael Pittman (IND) (44%)
This will be the final week we see the ownership stake rest under 50% for the Colts Michael Pittman. Showing progression in three straight contests, Pittman is looking to be the new number one target for Phillip Rivers. As the year moves forward and the Colts continue to win – Pittman will maintain his roll. He’s a must add at this point.
It truly is incredible that Nelson Agholor still holds less than 20% ownership stake at this point of the season. Granted, he does go missing week-to-week, leaving him to be a difficult play to trust. But the way in which this offense is moving – Agholor should have a role this week against Atlanta which could be easy flex points for your team.
With Julio Jones back in the medical room and likely to be a question mark for the next couple weeks, Russell Gage should again see his role increased. The issue with Gage is that he hasn’t been able to take advantage of the opportunity which has led to other teammates having much better days. Gage is still one to look at if you need a pass catcher.
Look who is finding his way back to the mix of fantasy football promise. Steven Sims has seen his role increase over the past three weeks and should continue as the year moves forward. Granted, playing with Alex Smith will limit the overall progression Sims will have, but there is potential to score points verse weaker defenses. Playing the Cowboys could bring with it another touchdown, but buyer beware.
Allen Lazard (GB) (42%)
Tim Patrick (DEN) (21%)
Olamide Zaccheaus (ATL) (0%)
Gabriel Davis (BUF) (1%)
Marquez Valdes-Scantling (GB) (31%)
Keelan Cole (JAX) (28%)
Jalen Reagor (PHI) (28%)
Josh Reynolds (LAR) (12%)
Dalton Schultz (DAL) (21%)
With Andy Dalton back behind center, Dalton Schultz will always have a keen role and should be back on your roster. Target share on this club will always be safe, given the number of weapons they have, and the scheme is there to support it. Playing Washington this week – Schultz will again see points.
The 49ers still don’t have George Kittle, which leaves Jordan Reed to be the primary source from the tight end slot. The floor for Reed will always be a risk, but baring health issues on gameday, finding the endzone isn’t out of the question. Facing the Rams who will likely be a giant favorite, Reed could find his way to fabulous garbage time points.
The Packers Robert Tonyan is a player that will be boom-or-bust from now until the end of the season but does have good value in matchup play. Being the teams third and fourth read on any offensive play, we could see goose-eggs over touchdowns. However, tight end is such a difficult position to trust and playing the matchups is very important.
Trey Burton (IND) (17%)
Kyle Rudolph (MIN) (7%)
Will Dissly (SEA) (1%)
NY Giants (12%) vs Cincinnati
