Week 12 is here, and if your fantasy roster looks anything like mine, you’re probably staring at injuries, byes, and waiver wire scraps that feel like expired leftovers. That’s exactly why I brought on one of my favorite people in this space, Frank Ammirante, to help sort through the chaos. We dove straight into the names that actually matter right now — the players who can still swing your playoff odds.
We kicked things off with Michael Wilson, who finally popped for the Cardinals and is still available in way too many leagues. Then we hit Sean Tucker, Emmanuel Wilson, and my personal favorite Washington stash, Chris Rodriguez, who’s suddenly getting real volume. If you’re in deeper formats, this is the time to stash upside rookies like Luther Burden and Jayden Higgins, who both saw encouraging usage and could follow the classic late-season breakout arc we’ve seen before.
We went heavy on quarterbacks, too — Week 12 is brutal — so we talked through Bryce Young, Jacoby Brissett, Bo Nix, Joe Flacco, and Sam Darnold as viable streamers depending on matchup. At wide receiver, we broke down Alec Pierce, Isaiah Hodgins, Darnell Mooney, and Christian Watson, who all have clearer Week 12 roles than people realize.
And then, of course, we got into Bills vs. Texans on Thursday Night Football. Frank and I loved props involving Josh Allen, Davis Mills, Woody Marks, James Cook, Nico Collins, and Keon Coleman, especially with Stroud out and Houston forced into a different game script.
If you missed the show, catch up — Week 12 isn’t going to wait for you, and these pickups absolutely can win you matchups.
