| | Tuesday, November 29, 2022 | Dan Schneier here again -- taking over for Chris Towers for the week. Monday Night Football was ultimately a lot more exciting than expected. The over was cashed and the game came down to a final push by the Colts to tie the game on the last possession. Ultimately, they fell short and we've got some Fantasy Football takeaways that are more important to focus on. For starters, Najee Harris left the game early with an abdomen injury. If he is forced to miss at least one game, that brings Benny Snell onto the waiver wire radar immediately. Keep an eye on Jaylen Warren too, as he missed Week 12 with a hamstring injury but is likely the preferred play. | Michael Pittman showed what he can do with semi-competent quarterback play. As Matt Ryan and Pittman get back on the same page from a rapport standpoint, I expect his target volume to rise as he works his way back onto the WR2 radar. On the flip side, we saw a floor we didn't know was possible previously with Parris Campbell and Ryan on the same field. Campbell isn't worth starting as anything more than a desperation Flex play in full-point PPR leagues. | Now, it's time to look ahead to Week 13, and things are going to be a bit different than usual this week without Chris but we'll deliver all of the essentials. Today's newsletter will focus on key waiver wire players you should add to your roster and injuries you need to know. On the injury front, it will be important to check back later in the week for each team's final injury report -- and on Friday -- Tera Roberts will have you covered with an in-depth injury piece that goes game by game. | Of course, you'll still want to make sure you tune in to Fantasy Football Today on CBS Sports HQ at noon ET today and everyday this week as we talk about the latest injuries and storylines. And for more help locking in your waiver-wire claims make sure you're subscribed to the FFT YouTube channel , where we'll be taking your questions live starting at 8 p.m. Every Tuesday like usual you'll find Adam Aizer and myself dishing out Fantasy lineup questions and questionable food/entertainment takes! | Here's what the rest of today's newsletter has in store for you: | - ➕Top Week 12 Waiver Wire Targets
- Injury Notes!
| ➕Top Week 12 Waiver Wire Targets | | | Jamey Eisenberg's top targets | - Mike White, QB, Jets (12%) -- White started for Zach Wilson in Week 12 against the Bears and completed 22 of 28 passes for 315 yards and three touchdowns, adding 2 rushing yards on three attempts. White is now worth starting in all Superflex and two-quarterback leagues as long as he remains the starter for the Jets, which should continue for the foreseeable future. And in deeper, one-quarterback leagues, White has the potential to be a useful option as well. He faces Minnesota in Week 13, and the Vikings have allowed a quarterback to score at least 21 Fantasy points in three games in a row.
- Benny Snell, RB, Steelers (2%) -- There's the chance Snell could be the starting running back for the Steelers in Week 13 at Atlanta, which is why he's listed here. We don't know what's going to happen with either Najee Harris (abdomen) or Jaylen Warren (hamstring), but if both are out then Snell would be a low-end starter or flex option against the Falcons, who have allowed a running back to score at least 18 PPR points in six games in a row.
- Zonovan Knight, RB, Jets (2%) -- The Jets backfield is worth watching this week and likely for the remainder of the season now that Knight has emerged as a potential candidate for significant touches. I would spend up to 15 percent of your remaining FAB on Knight to see what happens, and Johnson is worth adding for up to 5 percent.
- Zay Jones, WR, Jaguars (31%) -- We've been talking about Jones for a few weeks now, and his price tag went up significantly after he had 11 catches for 145 yards on 14 targets against the Ravens in Week 12. This was after he had eight catches for 68 yards on 10 targets against the Chiefs in Week 10. He's the No. 2 receiver for the Jaguars behind Trevor Lawrence, but he's outproduced Christian Kirk several times this season. Jones has two great matchups coming up in Week 13 at Detroit and in Week 14 at Tennessee, and he can be a No. 3 receiver in all leagues for those outings.
- Tyler Conklin, TE, Jets (37%) -- Conklin had three catches for 50 yards on three targets in Week 12 against Chicago in the first start with Mike White, and hopefully he can build off that performance in Week 13 against the Vikings, which is his former team. Minnesota has allowed four touchdowns to tight ends in the past six games, and Conklin is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues.
