Fantasy Football Week 12 Waiver Wire Stashes: Burden, Watson, Fannin & More

Top Waiver Wire Stash: Luther Burden III

• 💡 Luther Burden III is highlighted as the top stash candidate due to his increasing route run rate and potential to see more targets if DJ Moore is limited.
• 🎯 Ben Johnson's comments suggest a strong argument for getting Burden the ball more, making him a potential flex play.

Quarterback Stashes and Plays

• 🔍 Brock Purdy and Aaron Rodgers are recommended to check for, as they might be available in some leagues and have favorable matchups.
• 📈 Jacoby Brissett is a strong option against Jacksonville, especially if Marvin Harrison Jr. returns, potentially offering 30+ fantasy points.
• 🆘 Desperation plays include Jameis Winston (if healthy), Michael Penix, and Tyler Shough, with Shedeur Sanders as a deep stash in two-QB leagues.

Running Back Landscape

• 📉 The running back position is described as a "mess" with tough matchups for many current starters.
• 🧐 Devin Neal, a rookie for the Saints, is a stash option in deeper leagues, with potential to earn more carries.
• ⚠️ Other players like Tyler Allgeier and Olamide Zaccheaus are mentioned as potential deep stashes, but availability depends on other players returning from injury.

• 🎯 Puka Nacua is a player to consider starting if available, with a matchup against Arizona.
• 🚀 Other stash candidates include Jalen Higgins, Roman Wilson, and Calvin Austin, with Wilson showing promise in PPR formats.

Tight End Options

• 🏈 Brenton Strange is highlighted as a player expected to play and could be a steady option for Trevor Lawrence, especially against Arizona.
