Early Look at Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups for Fantasy Football

It’s too bad the NFL can’t get on the same page with fantasy leagues for bye weeks. In Week 12, all 32 teams play due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Only eight teams (Arizona, Carolina, Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans and Washington) are scheduled to have a week off in Weeks 13 and 14. So here’s a look at some potential free agents for next week:

Deshaun Watson, Cleveland Browns
In two weeks, the Browns will have Watson in their starting lineup against his former team in Houston. Amari Cooper has been a top 12 wide receiver (50/698/6) over his first 10 games, and Donovan Peoples-Jones has delivered WR3 stats over his past seven matchups (33/507/1), pointing to Cleveland’s offense being much better with their expected upgrade at quarterback.
