Week 12 Fantasy Waiver Wire Narrows, Elevating Bryce Young and Other Last-Minute Sleepers

With waivers processed, a thinned player pool pushes managers toward low-rostered, matchup-driven sleepers.

Overview

  • Carolina quarterback Bryce Young is a widely available streamer after a 448-yard, three-touchdown Week 11 and a favorable matchup against San Francisco’s pass defense.
  • Patriots wideout Mack Hollins remains on most wires and has posted double-digit PPR points in three of his past four games before facing Cincinnati, though Kayshon Boutte’s return could affect his targets.
  • Chicago rookie tight end Colston Loveland draws Pittsburgh, which has allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to the position, and he is rostered in under half of Yahoo and ESPN leagues.
  • With Ja’Marr Chase suspended, Bengals pass-catchers such as tight end Noah Fant and receiver Andrei Iosivas emerge as late-week adds, with Fant highlighted as a sleeper and both widely available while Joe Burrow is listed as questionable.
  • Stash candidates include Green Bay’s Jayden Reed, who returned to practice under a 21-day window, and New England’s Kayshon Boutte, who is off the injury report with proven deep-play ability and substantial availability.
