Waiver Wire Express - Week 12 Lightning Round

Week 11 has been quite the show thus far, as all of our fantasy teams can only aspire to be half as successful as the New Orleans Saints, who appear to be executing at will over opponents. Remember when the Buccaneers beat them? Me neither. Anyway, we here at RotoBaller are always looking to get you into the action as fast (and as accurately) as possible, so consider this the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 12.

This column is published early every week and then updated after the MNF game. Each day of the week will also yield other more in-depth waiver wire articles for all positions so be sure to check back.

The below waiver pickups are listed in priority order and broken down by position. Players must be owned in less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:
