What a crazy week, guys! Week 12 of fantasy football is upon us, and I had to make some serious moves on the waiver wire. I started by scoping out who was even available. There were six teams on bye – the Bills, Bengals, Falcons, Jaguars, Jets, and Saints – so that opened up some roster spots for people in my league.
Plus, we’ve had so many injuries this season. I mean, I lost a couple of key players last week. So I was definitely on the hunt for some replacements. First, I grabbed Jeremy McNichols. He’s been looking pretty good, and with some starting running backs out, I figured he might get some decent playtime.
Then, I saw Taysom Hill was available. Now, he’s a bit of a wildcard, but the guy can play multiple positions. I thought, why not take a chance? He could be a sneaky good pickup, especially if he gets some snaps at quarterback. And you know what? I was thinking about adding Trey Benson too, since he could get a good role with his team facing Seattle next week. I mean, James Conner is already a top 10 play, so adding Benson might give me even more depth at running back.
- Assessed the Situation:
- Checked which teams were on bye week.
- Reviewed my team for injuries and underperforming players.
- Scouted Available Players:
- Focused on players like Jeremy McNichols, Taysom Hill, and Trey Benson.
- Considered their potential roles and upcoming matchups.
- Made My Claims:
- Prioritized McNichols due to immediate need at running back.
- Took a chance on Taysom Hill for his versatility.
I spent a good chunk of time really diving into the available players, looking at their recent performances, and trying to guess how their teams might use them in the coming weeks. It’s always a bit of a gamble, but I feel pretty good about the moves I made.
Setting My Lineup
After grabbing those guys off the waiver wire, I had to figure out how to fit them into my lineup. Decided to start McNichols this week, hoping he gets a decent workload. I’m gonna keep Hill on my bench for now, see how things play out. I might flex him in later depending on matchups. As for Benson, I’ll be keeping a close eye on him this week before I decide to make a move next week.
I’ve been burned before by making impulsive decisions, so I’m trying to be more strategic this year. It’s all about staying flexible and being ready to adapt. You never know what’s going to happen in this game. One minute your team is looking great, the next you’re scrambling to fill holes because of injuries or bye weeks.
So yeah, that’s how I tackled the week 12 waiver wire. It was a bit of a scramble, but I think I came out of it okay. Now it’s all about hoping these guys perform and help me get a win this week. Fingers crossed!
