Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 12

Caleb Hanie, Toby Gerhart and Kevin Smith lead the way in week 12

The bye weeks are finally over and now we can just roll with what we’ve got. But what if injuries and poor play from your roster means you don’t have enough? Well, in an effort to guide you through the playoff push, here’s a look at who will be some of the hot commodities off the fantasy football waiver wire in Week 12. Some of them I think are decent plays for this week and maybe beyond, but most of the wire has players that should probably stay right there.

It's Finally time to sit Tim Tebow vs. Jets on Thursday night

Tim Tebow has been a worthwhile fantasy start. But not this week.

I’ve told you before, don’t watch Tim Tebow play if he’s on your fantasy team; just look at the box score after the game and be satisfied.

The Denver Broncos’ quarterback continues to produce as a fantasy QB and a reality QB. Tebow is 3-1 as a starter and has fantasy games of 22.34, 14.18, 24.76 and 17.06 in Athlon’s scoring format where it’s six points for all touchdowns.

Is Cowboys Receiver Laurent Robinson Worth A Start?

If you picked up Dallas' Laurent Robinson, you should start him

So you’ve picked up Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Laurent Robinson off the waiver wire. Now the question is do you start him this week against the visiting Buffalo Bills.

It depends on which Buffalo Bills pass defense are we going to see?

It has been a tale of two pass defenses for Buffalo this season. Four out of the first five weeks they were terrible, the last three they have been pretty solid.

Time to find a replacement for Sebastian Janikowski

It was being reported Friday that Sebastian Janikowski, fantasy football’s second-best kicker, may have to sit Sunday and several weeks thereafter due to a left hamstring injury.

It is not that often that fantasy kickers get any glory as we always tell you to wait until the last or second-to-last pick of your drafts to select the position. But Sebastian Janikowski brings what no other kicker in the league does on a consistent basis - the long ball. If your league awards bonus points for distance kicks, then Janikowski is the man to have. Through six weeks, he already has five 50-plus field goals and 12 field goals altogether.
