Fantasy Football: 10 best waiver wire targets for NFL Week 12
We’ve reached Week 12 of the 2023 NFL season and fantasy football playoffs are right around the corner for most leagues.
Many fantasy football managers will be scrambling to find help on the waiver wire this week after running backs Aaron Jones (knee) and Ken Walkers (oblique) suffered injuries on Sunday.
The No. 1 tight end in fantasy football this year, Mark Andrews, also suffered a season-ending* ankle injury in Week 11 (Baltimore says there is an outside shot Andrews might be able to return this year, but that would presumably be after the fantasy season has ended).
So fantasy football managers will need to find replacements for several key players this week. To help in that search, we’ve put together a list of the ten best waiver wire targets this week with options at running back, wide receiver, tight end, quarterback, defense/special teams and even kicker.
Each player’s rostered percentage in ESPN fantasy football leagues is listed in parentheses. Ready? Let’s get to the full list!
