This is an interesting week for the No. 1 player to claim off the waiver wire. There are two running backs to debate for the top spot. 

You can make a strong case for Bo Scarbrough or Jonathan Williams given their situations. And both have the chance to be starting Fantasy options in Week 12.

For Scarbrough, he seems to be the lead running back in Detroit, and he's facing Washington in a favorable matchup. For Williams, he looks like the best running back in Indianapolis with Marlon Mack (hand) out, although Jordan Wilkins (ankle) could ruin that if healthy against Houston on Thursday night.

With the potential of Wilkins playing in Week 12, I'll give the nod to Scarbrough as the top player to add this week. But I wouldn't be surprised if Williams is better if Wilkins is unable to play.

As of Monday, Wilkins was listed as having not practiced for the Colts after being inactive in Week 11 with his ankle injury. If we find out he didn't practice Tuesday, maybe you can prioritize Williams over Scarbrough.

The risk you have is Wilkins still being active Thursday night, and then the Colts are likely using a committee of Williams, Wilkins and Nyheim Hines to replace Mack against the Texans. That would likely continue until Mack is healthy, although that might not be for a few weeks.

We'll get into more with the running backs below, as well as free-agent options to consider at quarterback, receiver, tight end, kicker and DST. There are still four teams on bye this week (Kansas City, Minnesota, Arizona and the Chargers), and we have plenty of injuries to deal with, so the waiver wire will once again be busy in Week 12.

Editor's note: For this waiver wire column, we are only looking at players owned in less than 65% of CBS Sports leagues.

Week 12 Waivers
WAIVER WIRE
Quarterbacks
  • On a bye: Patrick Mahomes, Philip Rivers, Kyler Murray, Kirk Cousins
  • Injuries of note: Matthew Stafford (back), Jameis Winston (ankle), Mitchell Trubisky (hip)
  • Priority list: Baker Mayfield (62% ownership), Nick Foles (52%), Jeff Driskel (12%), Sam Darnold (33%), Ryan Tannehill (33%)
  • Check to see if available: Jacoby Brissett (72%). He returned from his one-game absence with a knee injury to score 16 Fantasy points against Jacksonville in Week 11, but he has a favorable matchup at Houston in Week 12. He scored 35 Fantasy points against the Texans in Week 7.
  • Drop candidates: Jared Goff (92%), Philip Rivers (92%), Matthew Stafford (80%). Goff has combined for seven Fantasy points in his past two games and should struggle against Baltimore this week. Rivers is not worth stashing on his bye, and Stafford might not play again this year.

Mayfield has scored at least 21 Fantasy points in each of his past two games against two tough defenses in Buffalo and Pittsburgh, and his schedule is about to lighten up with matchups against Miami, Cincinnati and Arizona in three of the next four weeks. I love him this week against the Dolphins, and he's worth adding for at least 10 percent of your FAAB budget.

Foles scored 21 Fantasy points in Week 11 against the Colts in his return from the collarbone injury he suffered in Week 1. He should be OK at Tennessee in Week 12 -- three of the past four quarterbacks against the Titans have scored at least 23 Fantasy points -- and then he faces Tampa Bay, the Chargers, Oakland and Atlanta through the Fantasy playoffs. He should be at least a low-end starter in all of those games, and he's worth 5 percent of your FAAB.

We thought Darnold had the chance to be successful once his schedule turned favorable in Week 9, and he comes into Week 12 against Oakland with consecutive games of at least 23 Fantasy points. He still has Oakland, Cincinnati and Miami over the next three weeks, starting with the Raiders, who allow an average of 24.8 Fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks for the year. Darnold is worth up to 5 percent of your FAAB.

Tannehill doesn't have an easy matchup in Week 12 against the Jaguars, although two of the past four quarterbacks against Jacksonville have scored at least 20 Fantasy points. But Tannehill went into his bye in Week 11 having scored at least 22 Fantasy points in four games in a row. He should have the chance to be a low-end starter again this week, and then he faces Indianapolis, Oakland and Houston in his next three games, with the Raiders and Texans being favorable matchups. Tannehill is worth up to 5 percent of your FAAB.
WAIVER WIRE
Running Backs
  • On a bye: Kenyan Drake, David Johnson, Melvin Gordon, Austin Ekeler, Dalvin Cook, Alexander Mattison, Damien Williams, LeSean McCoy, Darrel Williams
  • Injuries of note: James Conner (shoulder), Marlon Mack (hand), Saquon Barkley (shoulder), Devonta Freeman (foot), Damien Williams (ribs), Jordan Howard (shoulder), LeSean McCoy (concussion), Matt Breida (ankle), Chase Edmonds (hamstring), Benny Snell (knee), Jordan Wilkins (ankle), Chris Thompson (toe)
  • Priority list: Bo Scarbrough (0% ownership), Jonathan Williams (0%), Jordan Wilkins (3%), Nyheim Hines (11%), Darrel Williams (10%), Benny Snell (5%), Rex Burkhead (27%), Gus Edwards (13%), Patrick Laird (1%), Wayne Gallman (15%), Qadree Ollison (1%), Jay Ajayi (19%)
  • Check to see if available: Jaylen Samuels (79%), Royce Freeman (78%), Duke Johnson (76%), Derrius Guice (76%), Tarik Cohen (74%). Samuels should be the top priority if available with Conner hurt, and he should have the chance for a big game in Week 12 against the Bengals, especially in PPR. We told you for weeks to add Guice, and hopefully he takes over the lead role in Washington for the rest of the season. Freeman, Cohen and Johnson are potential flex options in all leagues, and it would be great if the Bears gave Cohen more work after he looked like their best player in Week 11 at the Rams.
  • Drop candidates: David Johnson (98%), Matt Breida (84%), Frank Gore (61%). Johnson appears to be getting phased out in Arizona after not getting a touch in Week 11 at San Francisco, so he's someone to consider dropping in shallow leagues if you need a roster spot. Breida could be out again in Week 12, and the 49ers will continue to use a committee, making him less attractive when everyone is healthy. Gore is clearly behind Devin Singletary and has minimal value moving forward, although he could potentially benefit if Singletary continues to fumble.

It appears that Scarbrough is the new lead running back in Detroit after he had 14 carries for 55 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against Dallas. His 14 carries were the most for a Lions running back since Kerryon Johnson had 26 in Week 4. Now, it's the Lions, and they'll still continue to give touches to J.D. McKissic, especially in the passing game, as well as Ty Johnson. And Scarbrough didn't have a catch or target against the Cowboys. But the matchup against Washington is great in Week 12 since the Redskins have allowed a running back to score in four of the past five games. He's worth at least 15 percent of your FAAB budget, with his value better in non-PPR leagues than PPR.

I'm lumping all the Colts running backs together because this has the chance to be messy with Mack out. I have no idea if Williams or Wilkins will get the majority of touches until Mack returns, but Wilkins was ahead on the depth chart before his ankle injury. And Hines will work on passing downs, so that makes this even worse. The hope would be that Wilkins doesn't return in Week 12 against Houston with the game Thursday night, and then Williams would be the lead running back against the Texans. He just had 13 carries for 116 yards, as well as one catch for 31 yards on one target against Jacksonville after Mack got hurt in Week 11. Keep an eye on the injury report Tuesday to see if Wilkins practices, and if he's out then spend at least 15 percent of your FAAB on Williams and 5-10 percent each on Wilkins and Hines. If Wilkins practices, prioritize Wilkins first, followed by Hines and Williams, but just keep in mind the Texans held the Colts running backs, with Mack, to 56 rushing yards and 31 receiving yards in Week 7. Houston has also allowed just one rushing touchdown to a running back since Week 4.

It's worth speculating on Darrel Williams just in case Damien Williams or McCoy can't go coming off Kansas City's bye in Week 12. Darrel Williams could be a league-winner if he ends up starting any games for the Chiefs down the stretch. In three games this year with at least 10 total touches, Williams has scored at least 11 PPR points in each outing. He's worth up to 5 percent of your FAAB.

The Steelers will likely be without Conner this week against the Bengals, and we could see a committee of Samuels, Snell and Trey Edmunds (3 percent owned) in his place. If Snell is healthy he would be the complement to Samuels, so keep an eye on the injury report. The last time we saw him in a prominent role was Week 6 at the Chargers when he had 17 carries for 75 yards, as well as one catch for 14 yards, and the matchup at Cincinnati is great, making Snell a potential flex option in all leagues. He's worth up to 5 percent of your FAAB.

Burkhead played 28 percent of the snaps in Week 11 against Philadelphia compared to 30 percent for Sony Michel (James White had 43 percent). At some point, the Patriots might turn to Burkhead over Michel to see if things can improve in their backfield, and Burkhead is worth stashing in all leagues. He scored at least 13 PPR points in two of his first three games before getting hurt in Week 4 and missing three games. Since his return in Week 8, he's played a limited role, but New England could give him more work to help the offense. He's worth up to 5 percent of your FAAB.

Edwards has scored in two of his past three games and can be used as a flex option in deeper non-PPR leagues, even as the backup to Mark Ingram. But should Ingram go down with an injury, Edwards would become a must-start Fantasy option in all leagues. He's worth stashing wherever you have an open roster spot since he could be a lottery ticket this year. Edwards is worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

The Dolphins might want to get away from Kalen Ballage, who has been awful as their starting running back at 1.9 yards per carry on 64 carries this season. According to the Palm Beach Post, no running back in NFL history has ever averaged fewer than 2.4 yards per carry on 100 or more carries in a full season. With that in mind, maybe you should stash Laird or even Myles Gaskin (8 percent ownership) just in case a change happens. I'd lean toward Laird now since he's been playing in tandem with Ballage, especially in the passing game, and he has eight catches for 66 yards on eight targets in his past two outings. He's worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

We're expecting Barkley to be fine in Week 12 and moving forward, and he said he has no plans to rest down the stretch. But just in case he suffers another injury or things change, it's not a bad idea to stash Gallman just in case he sees a bigger workload. Remember, in Week 4 with Barkley out, Gallman had 118 total yards and two touchdowns against Washington for 27 PPR points. He's worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

There's a chance Freeman could return in Week 12 against Tampa Bay, in which case he would be the lead back for the Falcons again. But if Freeman is out, it might not be a bad idea to take a flier on Ollison in deeper leagues. Brian Hill struggled in Week 11 at Carolina with 38 total yards on 16 total touches, and Ollison had four carries for 11 yards and a touchdown. I still like Hill better if Freeman sits, but Ollison could get an expanded role if Hill struggles again. Ollison is worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

Ajayi signed with the Eagles prior to Week 11 against New England, but he didn't play behind Miles Sanders and Boston Scott. We don't know when Howard is going to return, but it doesn't sound like a long-term absence. You can stash Ajayi if you have an open roster spot, but it's hard to see him getting consistent playing time unless Howard is out for the year. He's only worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

Wide Receivers
  • On a bye: Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs, Christian Kirk, Larry Fitzgerald

Hilton (calf), Mohamed Sanu (ankle), Alshon Jeffery (ankle), A.J.

  • Check to see if available: Jamison Crowder (80%), DeVante Parker (80%), Will Fuller (74%), Deebo Samuel (74%), Zach Pascal (71%). Crowder has at least 18 PPR points in three games in a row, and Parker has at least 11 PPR points in seven games in a row. Both are must-start receivers until further notice. Fuller will hopefully return in Week 12 against the Colts, and he should be added in all leagues. Samuel has become a star with Sanders hurt the past two games, scoring 40 PPR points over that span. And Pascal should continue to be the No. 1 receiver for the Colts with Hilton out, and he has a great matchup against Houston this week.
  • Drop candidates: Sammy Watkins (95%), A.J. Green (87%), Mike Williams (81%). Maybe you can stash Watkins during his bye with Hill hurt, but he's been bad for most of the season. Green doesn't appear close to playing. And Williams isn't worth stashing in shallow leagues with the Chargers on a bye in Week 12.

He had a great game in Week 10 against the Rams with 19 PPR points before the entire Steelers roster struggled in Week 11 at Cleveland, and he finished with just seven PPR points. But with an expected uptick in targets if everyone is hurt, Washington could be a borderline starter in all leagues in Week 12 against the Bengals. Cincinnati has allowed four touchdowns to receivers in the past four games. Washington is worth 10 percent of your FAAB budget.

Gage had a touchdown called back in Week 11 at Carolina, but he finished with a mediocre stat line with two catches for 32 yards on four targets. He's worth speculating on in deeper leagues in Week 12 against Tampa Bay since the Buccaneers allow the most Fantasy points to opposing receivers. Prior to Week 11, Gage had 14 targets in the first two games for Atlanta without Sanu. Gage is worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

Conley did a nice job in Foles' first game back with six catches for 58 yards on eight targets. He's now scored at least 11 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he could be useful down the stretch in deeper leagues, especially in Week 13 against Tampa Bay. Conley is worth adding for 1 percent of your FAAB.

Slayton doesn't have a good matchup in Week 12 at Chicago, and Shepard could return this week. But if Shepard is out, add Slayton in deeper leagues. He's scored at least 19 PPR points in two of his past three games, and he has a solid rapport with Daniel Jones. It will be hard for Slayton to post consistent stats if Shepard, Golden Tate and Evan Engram (foot) are all healthy, but I want to stash Slayton in deeper leagues if possible. He's worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

Reynolds could have a big role if the Rams are without Cooks and Robert Woods (personal) again, although it sounds like both could return this week. Reynolds had three catches for 55 yards on six targets in Week 11 against Chicago with both out, as well as losing a big touchdown being called back due to a penalty. Keep an eye on Cooks and Woods, and Reynolds is worth adding in all leagues for 1 percent of your FAAB.

Marcus Johnson took advantage of Hilton and Parris Campbell (hand) being out in Week 11 against Jacksonville with four catches for 38 yards and a touchdown on four targets. Hilton could return this week, but Johnson is worth adding in deeper leagues if you need a receiver with a quality matchup against the Texans ahead in Week 12. Johnson is worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

TIGHT ENDS
  • On a bye: Travis Kelce, Hunter Henry, Kyle Rudolph, Irv Smith
  • Injuries of note: George Kittle (knee), Austin Hooper (knee), Evan Engram (foot), Eric Ebron (ankle), Delanie Walker (ankle)
  • Priority list: Ryan Griffin (7% ownership), Jacob Hollister (31%), Noah Fant (48%), Dallas Goedert (25%), Vance McDonald (42%), Jonnu Smith (21%), Ross Dwelley (9%), Kyle Rudolph (57%), Dawson Knox (4%), Cameron Brate (14%)
  • Check to see if available: Jack Doyle (70%). Doyle had no catches in Week 11 against Jacksonville, but he would be a must-start option if Ebron is out in Week 12 against the Texans.
  • Drop candidates: Jason Witten (69%), O.J. Howard (63%), Jimmy Graham (56%). Witten has one game with more than eight PPR points in his past four outings and hasn't scored since Week 2. Howard was again in a secondary role in Week 11 against New Orleans and is back in bustville. His big game in Week 10 against the Cardinals was clearly an aberration. Graham has been at seven PPR points or less in three games in a row and faces a tough matchup with San Francisco in Week 12.

With Chris Herndon (ribs) out for the season, Griffin has the chance to be a standout Fantasy tight end for the rest of the year. He's scored at least 11 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he has a great schedule coming up against Oakland, Cincinnati and Miami. I like Griffin as a top-five tight end in Week 12, and he's worth 10 percent of your FAAB budget.

Hollister went into Seattle's bye in Week 11 having scored 39 PPR points in his past two games against Tampa Bay and San Francisco. He has a tough schedule coming up against Philadelphia, Minnesota, the Rams and Carolina in terms of how those teams have played against tight ends, but I still want to add him in all leagues. He has 16 targets in his past two outings, and it's clear Wilson is leaning on him as a go-to option in Seattle's offense. Hollister is worth 10 percent of your FAAB.

Fant had 11 targets in Week 11 at Minnesota, and he finished with four catches for 60 yards. That's now three games without Sanders after he was traded to San Francisco, and Fant has 24 targets over that span. He should continue to be heavily involved in Week 12 at Buffalo and beyond, and he's worth adding for 5-10 percent of your FAAB. The matchup with the Bills will be tough, but he does get Kansas City in Week 15 and Detroit in Week 16.

Goedert has scored in three of his past four games, and he continues to be a quality weapon for Carson Wentz with all the Eagles' injuries at receiver, even as the second tight end behind Zach Ertz. Goedert had six targets for three catches, 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 11 against New England with Jeffery out, and Jeffery could be out again in Week 12 against Seattle. I like Goedert as a low-end starter this week, and he's worth adding for 5 percent of your FAAB.

McDonald should benefit if Smith-Schuster and Diontae Johnson are out in Week 12 at Cincinnati, and McDonald does have seven targets in each of his past three games. The Bengals have allowed three touchdowns to tight ends in their past two games, so McDonald is worth using as a low-end starter this week if Smith-Schuster and Johnson are out. He's worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

Walker could return this week for the Titans, which would make Smith irrelevant in most leagues. But if Walker is out again, consider Smith a low-end starter in most leagues. He's been quiet in his past two games with 11 combined PPR points against Carolina and Kansas City before Tennessee's bye in Week 11, but he had 28 PPR points in the two games prior to that. Jacksonville has allowed three touchdowns to tight ends in the past three games, so hopefully Smith can score for the first time since Week 8. He's worth 1 percent of your FAAB if Walker is out.

Dwelley is only worth adding if Kittle is out again. In two games without Kittle, Dwelley has 12 targets for seven catches, 38 yards and two touchdowns, and he scored 17 PPR points in the dream matchup with the Cardinals in Week 11. Keep an eye on Kittle's status, and if he's out again in Week 12 against Green Bay then Dwelley would be a low-end starter in deeper leagues. He's worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

Since Thielen started dealing with his hamstring injury in Week 7, Rudolph has been a quality Fantasy asset. He's scored at least 11 PPR points in four of his past five games, with five touchdowns over that span. We'll see if Thielen will return in Week 13 after Minnesota's bye. It's worth stashing Rudolph just in case Thielen is out again, and he's worth 1 percent of your FAAB.

Knox has at least nine PPR points in his past two games, and he scored in Week 11 at Miami. He's becoming more of a weapon in Buffalo's offense, and he could be a streaming option in deeper leagues. Knox is worth adding with 1 percent of your FAAB heading into Week 12 against Denver.

I have no idea what to make of the Tampa Bay tight end situation, but Brate just had 14 targets, 10 catches and 73 yards in Week 11 against New Orleans. This was after no targets in his past two games against Arizona and Seattle. O.J. Howard is too risky to trust, so maybe what Brate did in Week 11 is something to build off if the Buccaneers continue to give him targets. You can speculate on him with 1 percent of your FAAB.
