Overview
- Denver, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami and Washington are off in Week 12, pulling multiple regular starters from fantasy lineups.
- Quarterback depth is unusually thin with Michael Penix Jr. potentially facing a season-ending knee injury, Aaron Rodgers managing a wrist issue, and several passers in concussion protocol, so managers are urged to track late-week status reports.
- Top waiver adds highlighted across outlets include Kenneth Gainwell, Michael Wilson, Sean Tucker, Emanuel Wilson and Juwan Johnson as immediate plug-in options.
- Start/sit guidance features Jacoby Brissett and Brock Purdy as recommended starts, with Dak Prescott and Daniel Jones flagged as sits for difficult matchups.
- Several pickups carry contingent value: Sean Tucker’s role hinges on Bucky Irving’s availability, Kenneth Gainwell’s ceiling depends on Jaylen Warren’s ankle, and Emanuel Wilson’s workload is tied to Josh Jacobs’ knee status.
