RosterWatch Week 12 Waiver Wire Cheat Sheet 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 .

    I need to pick up a qb for the rest of the year after losing Burrow. 1 qb league. Most teams have 2 qb’s so my options are limited.

    Love?
    Stafford?
    Someone else I should be looking for?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      Stafford seems like the most solid choice. you could stash Rodgers in hopes he comes back in time to play a few games

    PPR. I am 4-7 and need to win out to make playoffs.Looking at trading Nacua and Olave for Tyreek. Then I could roll K Williams into my flex but I have Barkelys bye still to account for. Am I better off keeping some depth and rolling with this team or trading for Tyreek to swing for the fences. Every week I have lost I have had teams go off on me so just bad luck this season with a pretty loaded roster for a 12 team league.

    Goff
    Barkley
    Kamara
    St Brown
    Tank Dell
    Olave
    Kincaid
    Nacua in the flex

    Bench
    K Williams
    Taysom Hill
    Hubbard
    Roschon Johnson
    Keaton Mitchel
    Zay Jones

    Dynasty – I see AT Perry on the sheet, is this more of a strictly opportunity with Thomas out or could he become something more with playing time?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

    Picked up Likely. Was going to try to flip him to the Andrews owner who doesn’t have another TE. He has a few guys that interest me like Pacheco, DJ Moore, and Sutton. My TEs are LaPorta and Ferguson. Could I get any of his guys for Likely?

    1. ↓ Post By Trashman

      I don’t know what his te situation is like now. If he’s desperate he might bite for pacheco but it’s hard to tell without knowing
