Nov 19, 2024

We're approaching the final month of the fantasy football regular season, and if you're still here, hoping to find a diamond in the rough on the waiver wire, you at least have a fighting chance in your league. You love to see that. Don't lose focus now; keep your eye on the prize, and let's find a potential league winner or two here this week.

Bye weeks hit hard this week, with Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, New Orleans, and the New York Jets all taking the week off.

This is a weekly reminder that some of you play in leagues where all of the listed players are already owned, while some of you play in IDP leagues where only a few IDP players are rostered overall, so the players listed below might not even be on your radar. If you need specific help, please don't be afraid to reach out. You can jump into our subscriber Discord, find the IDP channel, and tag me with any league-specific questions you may have.

Also, don't forget to check the rankings page if you have specific questions as well. The first run is out on Tuesday evening and it's updated daily all week.

Week 12 IDP Waiver Wire

Linebackers

At the top, I just want to circle back on a few names at linebacker who remain a priority ahead of the names listed below. Jack Campbell (Lions), Jordan Hicks (Browns), and Tyrice Knight (Seahawks), in that order, should all be rostered after solidifying their roles over the past week.

Matt Milano (Buffalo Bills)

The Bills opened up the practice window for Matt Milano prior to last week's game against the Chiefs, indicating that he's close to returning. With the Bills on bye this week, Milano gets one more week to get ready and it's very likely that we'll see Milano and Terrel Bernard starting at linebacker for Buffalo in Week 13.

It's tough for IDP gamers to move on from tackle machine Dorian Williams, who's currently ninth in the league in combined tackles and LB13 in FantasyPros scoring, but there's no scenario where he's playing ahead of either Bernard or Milano if they're healthy.
