Week 12 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 13.
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 Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts played on Monday Night Football.
1
RB JaMycal Hasty, Jacksonville Jaguars
If Travis Etienne misses time with injury, this pass-catching back could take over.
Doug Pederson on JaMycal Hasty's role in the Jaguars' win:
"It was huge, hats off to him. To come there and again, it wasn't a perfect game, but for him, to run hard like he did, catch the ball like he did, my hat's off for a guy we added to the roster beginning of the year".

QB Mike White, New York Jets
Oh, I’m serious.
White has some seriously good receivers around him and he played really well against the Bears on Sunday. He’s a streaming option!
3
RBs Ty Johnson and Zonovan Knight, New York Jets
If Michael Carter is hurt, they could take over the backfield (and don’t forget about James Robinson, who was inactive on Sunday).
4
WR Zay Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars
He’s seen 24 targets in his past two games and had 145 yards against the Ravens. BOOM.
Zay Jones vs the Ravens:
🐆 11 receptions (career-high)
🐆 145 yards (career-high)

WR Skyy Moore, Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs like to spread the ball around — aside from feeding Travis Kelce a ton — so his past couple of games with 10 targets total may not hold up, especially if JuJu Smith-Schuster gets healthy soon.
Still: He’s catching passes from Patrick Mahomes.
6
Backup RBs
This will be your weekly reminder to grab high-profile backup RBs that are on your waiver wire. With only two more weeks of byes, there will be room on your bench for them.
7
RBs Benny Snell and Anthony McFarland Jr., Pittsburgh Steelers
Najee Harris’s injury could open things up for one of them, and given the amount of work Snell got on Monday (12 carries and a score), I’d probably go with him first.
