All of the injuries in the NFL provided a ton of fantasy football new names to consider after all the craziness of Week 11. Thus, you can definitely improve your roster with these waiver wire pickups before Week 12 rolls around:
Bobby Rainey absolutely exploded in Week 11, proving that pretty much any Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back is worth owning in fantasy land. Three total touchdowns on 32 touches makes him fantasy gold from this point forward.
Garrett Graham was dropped in a lot of fantasy leagues, but now he’s on the radar again with his newfound chemistry with Case Keenum. Considering the Houston Texans have a revamped passing attack now, Graham should be picked up in all leagues.
Rob Housler is another tight end who is finally back on the radar after his second straight strong performance and third in his last four games. With Carson Palmer suddenly playing like he’s 10 years younger, Housler will be the primary beneficiary going forward.
It’s safe to say Donald Brown has supplanted Trent Richardson in the Indianapolis Colts’ backfield. Now that’s not to say Richardson is done — the Colts traded a first-round pick for him so he’ll remain relevant — but Brown is definitely worth owning and starting at this point.
Delanie Walker is the third tight end who exploded with better quarterback play. He’s Ryan Fitzpatrick’s new best friend and he should put up double-digit points in most weeks from here on out.
