Week 12 Waiver Wire Rankings (2024) - Fantasy Football Pickups Include Jerry Jeudy, Taysom Hill, Ameer Abdullah, Christian Watson, Elijah Moore

Jonnu Smith - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Fantasy football waiver wire rankings for Week 12 of the 2024 NFL season. Top free agent options to add off waivers, and our rankings will help you prioritize.

In addition to injuries, fantasy managers have bye weeks to deal with as the fantasy playoffs are set to begin in a few weeks. At RotoBaller HQ, we are here to help guide you through the waiver wire and help find those bye week and injury replacements with our Week 12 fantasy football waiver wire rankings for 2024.

There were more crucial injuries last week, with Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney exiting Sunday's game against the Broncos with a hamstring injury. At the same time, both Raiders running backs Alexander Mattison and Zamir White were injured on Sunday. Is Jerry Jeudy or Cedric Tillman Cleveland's No. 1 wide receiver after Jeudy was targeted 11 times on Sunday? Is Ameer Abdullah in line to be the Raiders' primary back with injuries to Mattison and White? Will Taysom Hill be a fantasy force for the rest of the season after his massive performance in Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns?

Our waiver wire rankings will help answer these questions. One of the industry's sharpest fantasy football minds, Nick Mariano, brings you his weekly waiver wire rankings and priority adds for the top 60 potential options. Good luck in Week 12 on the waiver wire!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:
