Week 12 was sponsored by Josh Jacobs, who shook off a hamstring scare to explode for over 300 total yards. Meanwhile, we saw injuries bite Travis Etienne (foot), Michael Carter (ankle), Darnell Mooney (ankle), Elijah Mitchell (knee), and more. Track updates for them on RotoBaller as we bring you an initial waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 13.
This column is published early every week and then updated on a daily basis. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions to complement our free new Who Should I Pickup for Fantasy Football? waiver wire player comparison tool.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and therefore will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats. Please note the Cardinals and Panthers are on BYE in Week 13.
