Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets

New York Jets: 46% rostered

• Next opponents: CHI, @MIN, @BUF
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $5
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Jets’ defense has become flat-out nasty. In their last two games, they held Josh Allen and the Bills to 17 points, then held the Patriots’ offense to 3 points in Week 11 (only to watch the Jets’ special teams blow the game by giving up a punt-return TD in the final seconds). The Jets’ defense has notched 32 sacks and 11 interceptions, and it entered Week 11 ranked fourth in pressure rate. In Week 12, the Jets face a Bears offense that has given up the most sacks in the league. It’s possible the Bears will be without starting QB Justin Fields (shoulder) and will have to turn to backup Trevor Siemian. If we get word early in the week that Fields won’t play in Week 12, add another dollar to your bid.

Minnesota Vikings: 33% rostered

• Next opponents: NE, NYJ, @DET
• True value: $3
• Desperate need: $4
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: Can I sell you on a defense that just gave up 40 points? The Vikings may have just gotten squashed by the Cowboys, but their defense entered Week 11 tied for seventh in fantasy points per game. Minnesota gets appealing home matchups the next two weeks, first against Mac Jones and the Patriots, then against Zach Wilson and the Jets.

Kansas City Chiefs: 46% rostered

• Next opponents: LAR, @CIN, @DEN
• True value: $2
• Desperate need: $3
• Budget-minded: $1

Analysis: The Chiefs get a Week 12 date with a Rams offense that entered Week 11 having given up the most fantasy points to opposing defenses. The Rams are averaging 15 points over their last six games. The Chiefs entered Week 11 tied for eighth in the NFL in sacks and tied for seventh in pressure rate. The Chiefs’ defense is also potentially playable in Week 13 against the highly sackable Joe Burrow and the Bengals.

Indianapolis Colts: 29% rostered

• Next opponents: PIT, @DAL, BYE
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Colts have a middle-of-the-road defense, but an average NFL defense is usually enough to cause trouble for a rookie quarterback. Indianapolis hosts Pittsburgh and rookie QB Kenny Pickett this week. In his first seven games, Pickett has thrown eight interceptions and taken 18 sacks.

Miami Dolphins: 22% rostered

• Next opponents: HOU, @SF, @LAC
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: It’s all about the matchup. Miami’s defense is averaging 5.3 fantasy points per game, but the Dolphins get a Week 12 matchup against the Texans, who entered Week 11 having allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing defenses.

Tennessee Titans: 46% rostered

• Next opponents: CIN, @PHI, JAC
• True value: $1
• Desperate need: $2
• Budget-minded: $0

Analysis: The Titans get a sack-alicious Week 12 matchup against the Bengals. Tennessee has notched 30 sacks in 10 games. Bengals QB Joe Burrow has been sacked 32 times in 10 games. The Titans become a slightly less appealing option if WR Ja’Marr Chase is cleared to return from a hip injury.
