RosterWatch Week 12 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet Now Available

Byron BylineBuilding 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.

PODCAST —- YOU CAN FIND THE WAIVER WIRE PODCAST HERE IN THE PODCAST SECTION AS SOON AS IT GETS POSTED. You can also find it on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, or anywhere podcasts are found. Listen to the podcast as a supplement to the sheet as you’re setting waiver claims for additional insight, however, the pod does not give the exact order and/or tiers of the sheet so do not consider it a substitute for using the sheet.

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 .

    Alright guys, I have clinched a first rd bye in the playoffs. I have a trade offer that I would send away dalvin cook, Carson wentz and Gerald Everett. I would receive Fournette, Aaron Rodgers and Waller.
    I’m leaning toward accepting but just needed some verification. My other QB is Josh Allen. My RB’s I also have Carson who will be on bye this week. Thoughts on this trade?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i don’t love it. fournette has 1 td on the season, and waller doesn’t score enough to make a huge difference at te for you.

    Need to float my TE slot for Hunter Henry’s bye, so it’s a one-week plug.

    I’m liking Fant’s body of work, but don’t dig the matchup.

    I’m a bigger fan of Ryan Griffin’s recent few weeks and the matchup.

    Fant or Griffin?

      1. ↓ Post By woo.jonathanwoo

        Thanks, Trashman.

      2. ↓ Post By Pappahoops

        Griffin or Enron for this week Trashman?

    RosterWatch Nation has been a great help to me this year. You guys are greatly appreciated.

    I currently have NO Saints DST. The Eagles are available on the WW. Which do you prefer ROS?

    I’m gearing up for the playoff and would roster both, but I am in bye week hell this week. I have K Murray and Butker on bye this week and I do not want to drop Butker.

    Thanks for you assistance.

    1. ↓ Post By Gman

      FYI…….Philly has NYG and Wash on week 14 &15, NO has SF and IND on week 14 & 15.

      1. ↓ Post By Trashman

        i’d stick with NO. they seem to produce in most matchups. philly’s floor is absurdly low.

    Need a bye week TE for Kelce.. it is PPR

    Griffin, Witten, Delanie Walker, Doyle, Vance, Fells, Geseiki

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i lean walker if he’s good to go. if not, griffin

  5. ↓ Post By pak3chris

    Sup guys!
    .5ppr league. J White got dropped. Also available for WW, Colts RBs, DET RBs, Slayton, D Thomas, J Reynolds, R Anderson, J Washington, C Conley. Might need WR help if Juju or Cooks can’t play.
    Would have to drop 2 players from my roster to make move, 1 could be the kicker.

    Notable players that could be dropped include: M Sanders, Ballage, Mattison, B Cooks, Houston K, also have both TEs J Cook and Engram.
    My starting lineup is stacked and I’m looking for that extra edge.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i’d drop the kicker if you have another one, ballage can go too. pick up white and jonathan williams or bo scarbrough if we’re talking ros.

  6. ↓ Post By sdboor

    Kittle owner in PPR
    Who has best match up this week for me to use as TE
    Holister, Dwelkey or Goedert?

  7. ↓ Post By ea4582

    Standard scoring 12 team league
    I’m a Mack owner..
    Should I pick up Scarbrough or J Williams?

  8. ↓ Post By sdboor

    Would I rather own WR John Brown or Curtis Samuel in PPR going forward

  9. ↓ Post By Incognito

    I holding on to Wentz because of his favorable schedule. Especially week 13-15, I also have Josh Allen whose next three games are tough. Who would you drop to pick up either m Ryan or Baker. Brissett and Driskel also available.. thanks

  10. ↓ Post By Incognito

    I have bell, Chubb, hunt, j Samuels j Williams and d Freeman. I need to drop one of these to pick up a WR. Who would you drop? freeman ? Thanks.

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      i feel like it might be hunt. i feel like his upside is limited behind chubb. if it’s not a ppr league, i’d drop him.

  11. ↓ Post By gerrycouey@hotmail.com

    Need TE….Goedert,Griffin,Fant or Brate or Doyle?ppr

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Goedert or Griffin

  12. ↓ Post By Ryan

    Do you drop Ballage to pick up Sterling Shepard 0.5 ppr. Have fouurnette colem an Samuels and guide at rb and Julio Landry Keenan Allen at wr

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Incredibly close call– prob stick w/ Ballage bracing for a possible Conner return— I think you can pick up a decent WR anytime

  13. ↓ Post By Punch Party

    I’m holding both Manny Sanders and Deebo, which would you drop if you had to?

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      I’d prob drop Deebo but that sucks horribly to do— can you drop a kicker to help with waivers and hold both SF WR until we have more news on Sanders?

      1. ↓ Post By Punch Party

        Thanks for the reply, it’s not a must drop situation so I can hold off until we get some clarity.

  14. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

    Need help. Trade depth away to secure a studded starting lineup and I have Tyreek.. I have $27 fab left do I spend it all to secure hardman just incase I lose hill for the season ??

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Depends on what other WR or flex are avail— but in general I think it’s fine to go after Hardman— not sure you have to spend all $27 to do it— think it depends on what other options are avail if you strike out on Hardman. Robinson also regains some value again in that case

      1. ↓ Post By John Hunsberger

        Thanks pretty deep lg , I picked up slayton last week thinking ahead of the bye and still have mike williams

    Hey fellas
    Need advice in a pot 4 keeper league.
    I have
    Lamar
    Elliott, a Jones, fournette, Mattison and Brian hill
    Boyd, OBJ, D Samuel, fuller

    In talks with a guy about A Jones and boyd for his d Adams and Montgomery. Thoughts on this. I could maybe also up to fournette and get j Jones.
    Thoughts?

    1. ↓ Post By Knubs

      PPR. Not pot

    2. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      That’s a fine deal to balance your roster. I’d look at the schedules for LF vs AJ and DA vs JJ — close calls. I’d take the guys with the best remaining schedules

  16. ↓ Post By Omar

    Pick up Jonathon Williams or bo Scarborough to help at rb this week?? full ppr..

    1. ↓ Post By Byron Lambert

      Tough call, I’m leaning towards Bo

  17. ↓ Post By smithsonje@gmail.com

    Wasted Talent

    Both Brian and Tyreek hill boned me this week.

    Do I drop Brian for Guice? Hill has a better schedule but he looked just as troubled by the Falcons lack of an O-line as Freeman has all year.

    Figure Guice might get for snaps as Peterson gets sized up for a walker and bedpan.

    Thanks

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      Yeah bro
      drop hill for dha sickest

  18. ↓ Post By JeffCraig0203@gmail.com

    Hey guys, you have helped me out so much this year. Thank you for all you guys do!

    1) Would you put Breida over Bo in a 12 team standard?
    2) I have Conner and Samuels. Should I target Snell or Edmunds, or someone else higher in the list if I dont get either above?

    RBs: Cook, Conner, Mattison, Samuels, Guice

    1. ↓ Post By JeffCraig0203@gmail.com

      P.s. Can I drop Tyler Boyd yet? Lol

  19. ↓ Post By fasttimes

    rbs are conner/samuel, jacobs, sony, and singletary

    should i drop any of these guys for guice, scarbrough, or j williams in a standard league?

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      I don’t think so
      it would be nice to trade the pitt situation just to free up a roster spot !
      if u own one pitt rb, u must own 2..

    Got purposed an interesting trade: give Michael Thomas and 2020 4th round pick, get Drew Lock and 2020 1st round pick and 2021 1st round pick.

    I feel like my WR depth is good, T Boyd, C Sutton, Z Pascal, Mike Williams, D Johnson, N Harry, D Funchess, and Tim Patrick.

    QB I start K Murray, D Brees, R Finley and R Tannehill

    TE I have Kelce, C Herndon, J Cook, F Moreau

    RB is trashy Hyde, Guice, M Sanders, T Pollard, M Gaskin, R Armstead, T Johnson, McCoy, Snell Jr, B Love, R Anderson, D Thompson

    .5PPR, 2 QB, 3WR, 2RB, 1TE, 2 WR/RB/TE

    Wondering if I should be stocking picks for Trevor Lawrence in 2021.

    Would you stick with Josh Allen over Jacoby Brissett this week? Also, if Alshon Jeffery plays, does that lower interest in Dallas Goedert? Seems like split opinions between Goedert and Griffin so it’s hard to decide

    1. ↓ Post By Baron VonIronCock

      Allen for me bruh !
