We're at the point in the fantasy football season where owne

We're at the point in the fantasy football season where owners are looking to do one of two things on the waiver wire: Find streamers who can help in the upcoming week or stash players with favorable matchups in the fantasy playoffs. Beating your leaguemates to the punch on these potential free agent sleeper pickups could prove crucial for not only Week 12, but Weeks 14-16, as well.These moves don't always work out. Sometimes, you add a potential streamer only to see him get hurt or benched. Other times, you drop a handcuff only to see him emerge as the starter. That said, when you do make the right move and land a guy before his breakout, it's a huge win, as you can get a productive piece without having to use a waiver claim or FAAB money.WEEK 11 FANTASY: | |With all NFL teams playing in Week 12 and just one two-team bye remaining in Week 13 (Carolina and Tampa), the waiver wire is Nick Pivetta Jersey stronger than ever. There's no need to worry about bye weeks interfering at this point. The only things impacting playing time opportunities are injuries and on-field performance.Based on players available in over 50 percent of Yahoo leagues, there are several committee RBs who could emerge as backfield leaders(Gus Edwards, La'Mical Perine, Cam Akers)in the coming weeks, a plethora of worthwhile receivers (Sammy Watkins, Michael Pittman Jr., and Breshad Perriman stand out), and numerous streamers at the QB, TE, and D/ST whocan be trusted.WEEK 11 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | | While pre-emptive moves are often beneficial, you by no means have to make one. If you're comfortable with your roster, stick with what you have. Even if you have a gut feeling that Benny Snell is going to break out despite being nothing more than a handcuff, there's nothing wrong with keeping him. Still, taking a look at the potential big names on the Week 12 waiver wire can help you find some targets for next week's waiver period.WEEK 11 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Watchlist Reminder: This list was put together in the lead-in to Week 11, looking forward to the players that could be waiver-wire targets to scoop before the season starts to use in future weeks. If you have a roster spot to play with, these are options you could pick up early to beat the waiver buzz. All these players are below 50-percentownership on Yahoo unle s otherwise specified. Week 12 Waiver Wire Watchlist: QuarterbackTeddy Bridgewater, Panthers @ Vikings (44)Bridgewater is dealing with a knee injury at the moment, but it seems like he has a shot to play in Week 11 against the Lions. If not, he'll likely return in Week 12 for a matchup against the Vikings. Minnesota has been playing better on defense of late, but they still have a young secondary that Bridgewater can Steve Carlton Jersey take advantage of. He's a fine streamer and is a good backup option to carry into the fantasy playoffs (vs. Broncos, @ Packers, @Washington in Week 14-16).Tua Tagovailoa, Dolphins @ Jets (42)Tua's ownership has steadily climbed since he took over the starting job for the Dolphins and led the team to a 3-0 record. Tagovailoa Pete Rose Jersey is averaging only 170 pa sing yards per game, but he has five TDs in his three starts and has improved in the pocket since a shaky first start against the Rams. He gets to play a weak Jets defense that has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game (FPPG) to QBs this season at a mark of 21.7, so he can be trusted as a starter in Week 12 and po sibly beyond. Down the stretch, he plays the Bengals (Week 13), Chiefs (Week 14), and Patriots (Week 15), and he could be asked to do more as he gets more experience.Derek Carr, Raiders @ Falcons (34)The Falcons have allowed 26.8 FPPG to QBs this season. That's more than any other team in the league. While Atlanta has played better of late, it still can be beaten by good offenses like Vegas's. Derek Carr has the team playing well and is averaging nearly 240 pa sing yards and 1.8 pa sing TDs per game this season. He has multiple TD to ses in all but three games,one of which was a blowout against the Broncos in which the team simply didn't have to pa s to win. Carr can be trusted against this defense in Week 12 and against the Jets in Week 13.Jameis Winston, Saints @ Broncos (32)With Drew Brees (ribs) out two-to-three weeks, Winston will likely take over as the Saints' starter. The 2019 pa sing leader should do fine in that role and will be a top-15 QB more often than not down the stretch. The Broncos are Drew Hutchison Jersey middle-of-the-pack against quarterbacks, but Winston has the arm talent and weapons surrounding him to be considered for a starting role in this contest and the Saints' matchup with the Falcons in Week 13.UPDATE: Winston is not expected to start in Week 11, but he's still an intriguing stash for Weeks 12 and 13. If Taysom Hill plays poorly at QB, Winston could easily start in favorable matchups the next two weeks while Drew Brees is on IR.)Daniel Jones, Giants @ Bengals (29)After a dreadful start to the season, Jones has come on of late. He has averaged 224.8 pa sing yards in his past four games along with a rock-solid 45 rushing yards per contest. He has six TDs in that span and should be able to do well againsta weaker Bengals defense that has allowed 21.1 FPPG to QBs, good for the seventh most in the NFL. Jones will make some mistakes, but his rushing upside should make him a decent streamer in a good matchup.WEEK 11 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | Week 12 Waiver Wire Watch List: RBWayne Gallman, Giants (54)With Devonta Freeman (ankle) on IR, Gallman has emerged as the Giants' backfield leader, and he may continue on in that role even when Freeman returns. In his past four outings, Gallman has racked up five TDs as a goal-line hammer for the Giants, and while he isaveraging just 3.7 yards per carry, the volume in there for him to be effective. Coming off a bye and with the Giants switching to Dave DeGuglielmo as their new offensive line coach, Gallman should continue to improve. In Week 12, he takes on the Bengals, a team that represents the weakest run defense he has Nick Williams Jersey faced to date as a starter. They are one of only six teams to allow at least 1,000 rushing yards this season.Adrian Peterson, Lions(43) | Kerryon Johnson, Lions (10)Peterson and Johnson were being phased out of the Lions RB rotation due to the emergence ofD'Andre Swift, but in the wake of Swift suffering a concu sion, both Peterson and Johnson could be short-term flex plays and solid long-term handcuffs. The Lions are taking on the Texans on Thanksgiving, and the Texans have allowed 250 more rushing yards than any other defense in the league (1,389). Because of the short week, is may be hard for Swift to clear the NFL's concu sion protocol, especially since we don't know w
