Kevin Szafraniec highlights the best players available on waivers in 50% or more of ESPN and Yahoo leagues heading into Week 12.
Following some big performances from backup running backs in Week 11, there are plenty of zero-RB options to choose from on the waiver wire this week. Unfortunately, not a single one comes without extenuating circumstances attached, which makes targeting the right back more important than ever.
Byes: Denver, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami, Washington
Players featured in this article who are on bye this week are denoted with an asterisk (*).
Before we dive into the players, just a few reminders about how the article is set up:
- To be included as a potential add, a player must be rostered in at most 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
- To be included as a potential drop, a player must be rostered in more than 50% of ESPN or Yahoo leagues
- FAAB recommendations will be given but also serve as tiers for leagues without FAAB budgets. The rationale behind FAAB recommendations is: If I had $1,000 in FAAB, what is the absolute most I’d be willing to spend on this player?
- All positional rankings and statistics are taken from RotoViz’s Monday Review tool.
