Here's a look at some players that should take priority if you're hoping to pick up some reinforcements from the waiver wire heading into Week 12.
Samaje Perine, RB, Bengals: Joe Mixon suffered a concussion Sunday and Perine scored three TDs through the air in his place. He'll be a top priority this week if Mixon can't go against the Titans.
Latavius Murray, RB, Broncos: Melvin Gordon got waived Monday and that means Murray will take the Lion's share of touches out of the Denver backfield. He had 17 rushes for 49 yards and a touchdown. Murray has a good matchup with the Panthers next.
Treylon Burks, WR, Titans: The rookie had a breakout game and his first 100-yard performance against the Packers. Let’s see if he can build on his seven-catch, 111-yard game.
Josh Palmer, WR, Chargers: For the second time in three weeks, Palmer caught eight passes for 106 yards. He also added two scores against Kansas City on Sunday night with matchups against the Cardinals and Raiders coming up.
Skyy Moore, WR, Chiefs: He played well as the Chiefs continued to lose wide receivers. Kadarius Toney left Sunday's game with a hamstring injury and Moore ended up with five catches for 63 yards, both career highs for the rookie.
Demarcus Robinson, WR, Ravens: Rashod Bateman won't return this season and Robinson had a productive day Sunday, catching nine balls for 128 yards. It's not necessarily a sign of things to come, but it could be a good sign.
Darius Slayton, WR, Giants: Five of his last six games have been solid for fantasy and Wan'Dale Robinson just landed on IR. He does have a tough matchup with the Cowboys next.
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Titans: If you've been struggling to find a starter in place of Kyler Murray or other underperforming quarterbacks, Tannehill has had two solid games in a row and now has Burks breaking out.
Donovan Peoples-Jones, WR, Browns: He stayed on a roll, catching five passes for 61 yards and a TD in the loss against the Bills. Six of his last seven games have been decent for fantasy.
James Cook, RB, Bills: The rookie had double-digit carries for 86 yards as the Bills actually utilized a running game outside of just Josh Allen.
Cam Akers, RB, Rams: He finally had another game with double-digit carries and amassed 61 rushing yards. There's still hope that he can hit his upside if utilized enough.
Justin Jackson, RB, Lions: He gained 66 yards on the ground at 7.3 per attempt in the win over the Giant. He had more rushes than DeAndre Swift, though Jamaal Williams remains the lead back.
Logan Thomas, TE, Commanders: Thomas has a history of being productive, though he's had a disappointing season thus far. He caught a season-high five passes for 65 yards and is available in a good amount of leagues.
Defenses to stream: Chiefs (vs. Rams), Colts (vs. Steelers), Panthers (vs. Broncos).
