RosterWatch Week 12 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet and Podcast Now Available

Building a championship-caliber fantasy roster requires basic weekly waiver-wire management. We’ve created the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet so that in a just a few minutes a week, our users can make the same expert waiver maneuvers we personally make in our own leagues, throughout the season.

Whether you play in a standard waiver-claim format, or in a free-agent bidding system – we’ve got you covered. Read the chart top to bottom, and use it like the Draft Cheat Sheet. It’s not mandatory to go after the very top pick up every single week – use some basic discretion. Insane value can be cultivated through the bottom of the Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet over the course of the season.

All players listed on the WWCS are currently on the waiver wire in at least 50% of fantasy leagues across all major formats.

*Our advice is to recycle an average of 1-2 players per week from the bottom of your roster into hot waiver-wire pickups for the current week. This can be accomplished via waivers, or on the cheap as free-agent pickups post-waiver period .

    No MVS?

      Check Lazard’ status- but I don’t hate MVS. My Mom started him in the 14 tm PPR RosterWatch “Cockamamie Business” Listener league for a monster last wk! That said he’s a dude to be careful chasing points. No Lazard and he is viable with upside though

    PPR
    Drop Antonio Brown and pick up C Sutton?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      No

  3. ↓ Post By sdboor

    Tua, Gorapollo Heineke or Wentz ?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Play the matchups and the game totals!!!! Heineke is probably my least favorite but they are all decent options

    As a flex player on my bench in PPR would I rather have AntBrown, CSutton, DArnold or DKnox? Pick one
    PPR

      Brown

    Now that Adrian Peterson is no longer a titan. Which titan rb should rostered?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Probably Foreman- but they all kind of stink. I wouldn’t be shocked to see them sign Lindsay

    PPR
    I need to drop Antonio Brown or Michael Carter both are my 4th WR 4th RB sitting on my bench
    In PPR who best to drop?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Jesus neither of those dudes should be on the waive wire!!! If you had to choose it would probably be AB, but that is COCKAMAMIE

      1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

        Actually- the more I think about it- I would probably drop Carter and keep AB- you might want to evaluate your quality of depth at ea position. That said I think I hold AB here

    Standard league. I have Logan Thomas on IR and Freirmuth on my active roster. If Thomas is activated which one should I keep? TB is my defense but the Pat’s, Bears, Hou, Philly and the Broncos are available on waivers. Keep TB or dump em for one of the others?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d keep Freirmuth. I don’t mind keeping TB but you could play the matchups if you want. Patriots are interesting

    0.5 PPR tevin Coleman or Ty Johnson as a (hopefully) 1 week play? Kamara out has been killing my team. Kenyan drake is not cutting it as a fill in.

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Probably Ty Johnson

    Full point PPR, Stafford or Herbert? Also, drop Collins for Pollard?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Herbert, and no, looks like elliott will play

    I am reeling in abject disappointment.
    I am 4 & 7 with the most points for by a margin of 35 and the most points against by a margin of 100.
    I’ve lost to 3 high weeks.
    Patrick Mahomes is the #1 reason 🙁

  11. ↓ Post By Trashman

    I’m in a similar boat in one league. The extra game gives you a chance though. Hang in there!

      Trashman, Thank you. It’s painful.
      Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    Then need one of the 2 Mike Geiseki or Noah Fant

    Huge week for me! Need a win! Parrott Head Posse lost the last two weeks and sit at 7-4. I have worked hard to strengthen my line up and sit in a good spot heading into the stretch. Standard league QB-WR-WR-RB-RB-Flex-TE-K-Def what group do you start out of these? Hurts-Kupp-Godwin-Diontae Johnson-Gallup-Golladay-AJ Dillon-Mixon-Kamara-Mckissic-Miles Sanders-Freirmuth-Logan Thomas-Boswell- Tampa-New England. I have created depth and some tough decisions! Advice appreciated David Johnson-Lat Murray-Donta Foreman just went on waivers as well.

    Hate these short weeks. Give me your best standard starting lineup out of the group above.
