Week 11 of the 2022 NFL season is over. And what a week of football it was!
If you play fantasy football, you’re already planning ahead with waivers after a busy week of games.
That’s what we’re here for, a roundup of some of the players you could be targeting ahead of Week 12.
Some of the names below might be taken already, but if not, there are a bunch of dudes who could change your fantasy fortunes this season. Let’s run through them, in no particular order, and we’ve updated it after the San Francisco 49ers and Arizona Cardinals played on Monday Night Football.
1
RB Cam Akers, Los Angeles Rams
Sigh. I guess if you’re desperate for an RB? In the deepest of leagues?
Cam Akers led the Rams backfield with 56% of rushing attempts in Week 11.
Kyren Williams led in snaps (55%) and route participation (68%). He took almost all of the long-down-distance (90%) and two-minute work (100%).
Henderson ☠️
Yes, I realize no one cares. Rightfully so.

WR Treylon Burks, Tennessee Titans
You know the drill. The Titans run a lot. When they pass? Maybe the rookie’s breakout means he’s WR1 for them: Seven catches and 111 yards.
3
WR Demarcus Robinson, Baltimore Ravens
Another run-first team with a hole at receiver that could be filled be this guy. Mark Andrews obviously gets first dibs on catches, but maybe Robinson is worth a speculative pickup.
4
WR Nico Collins, Houston Texans
The Texans play from behind a bunch, so there’s garbage time points to be had. And in the last two games, Collins has amassed 17 targets and has scored once. The yardage might be capped, but there’s a WR3 in there who could be useful.
5
TE Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints
His numbers in the last three games are nearly identical: 40-something yards and a touchdown.
With the tight end position a dud beyond Travis Kelce and Andrews, he could be useful … even if he’s touchdown-dependent.

It’s that time again! James Cook, Matt Breida, Samaje Perine, Travis Homer … go get ’em!
