Week 12 Waiver Wire Targets

Last week I beat MattDotRich in the Gridiron Challenge 86 to 67 and took the lead 1309 to 1305 overall.  Don’t get me wrong, it was not a very good week for either of us, but a win is a win I suppose.  Week 12 is typically the Trade Deadline  for standard leagues so make sure to check out the Trade Analyzer if you are considering making a move.  Looking forward to Week 12, I would consider adding the following waiver wire players:

  • Kevin Smith (Det RB):  Kevin Smith is the obvious name from Week 11 to think about adding to your team.  He had 140 yards rushing, 61 yards receiving, and 3 total touchdowns against the Panthers.  Kevin is available in 99.2% of leagues, but is only useful while Jahvid Best is out.  I’d add him if you needed help in the short term at the RB position.
  • Torrey Smith (Bal WR): If Torrey Smith isn’t already owned in your league, you should pick him up.  He is by definition boom-or-bust, but his upside is off the charts.  Even with Lee Evans back last week, Smith caught for 165 yards and a touchdown.  He is available in 56.2% of leagues.
