Add Waivers, Not Weight (No Ozempic Needed)
If you’re reading this, congrats—you survived. If you didn’t, tune in to Monday’s waiver pod, where I’ll roast Ozempic and Derrick Henry’s haircut.
The Bills dropped 48 points, yet Verizon had more coverage on RedZone than Amari Cooper. How does Cooper go from 11 targets to zero in a shootout? I don’t get it. Not my fantasy, but hey, someone’s probably into that.

Quarterbacks
Aaron Rodgers vs. LAR (38%)
Is playing good football down the stretch. Dont let the Aaron Rodgers narrative get to you. Hes actually on pace to break the Jets single season passing yards record. He just needs 240 yards per game. Going to have to score points to beat his old rival Matt Stafford. Aaron Rodgers season Stats • 3,285 passing yards • 23 TDs • 8 INTs
Jameis Winston at Cincinnati (41%)
Coach Stefanski, Jerry Jeudy managers are pleading with you—don’t bench Jameis! This matchup is tailor-made for a classic Jameis Winston bounce-back performance.
Running Backs
Jerome Ford at Cincinnati at Cincinnati (43%)
Must add, if Jameis gets benched he is an even bigger add. Was averaging 12 yards per carry vs. the Chiefs last week. ADD HIM.
Ty Johnson vs New England (4%)
Led the Bills in receiving yards last week—will they need him to repeat that against the Patriots? Probably not. But he’s still poised for more carries and continues to shine as a receiving threat out of the backfield in back-to-back games. Desperate waiver add.
Tyjae Spears at Indianapolis (46%)
Remember during training camp when Pollard and Spears were listed as RB1A and RB1B on the depth chart? Could it finally be happening?
Craig Reynolds/Sione Vaki
One of these guys is bound to see a big jump in snap percentage for the rest of the season—I just don’t know which one. After some extensive Google research, it seems Craig Reynolds has the better-looking kneecaps. Hope that helps!
Wide Receiver
Romeo Doubs/ Christian Watson vs. New Orleans (53%)
Ready to get your heart broken by another Packers wide receiver? Same here. The truth is, Jayden Reed hasn’t done much since early November, and Doubs or Watson? Flip a coin, roll the dice—if you guess right, you might as well buy a lottery ticket.
Quentin Johnston vs Denver (57%)
Led the Chargers in targets with 10. Bottom line: they haven’t been able to run the ball since J.K. Dobbins went down. Johnston is set for more opportunities—but the real question is, will he catch them? On the bright side, he’s found the end zone in back-to-back games.
Rashod Bateman vs Pittsburgh (29%)
It’s a must-win game for the Ravens, and in case you missed it—Sampson cut his hair. That might be the sign Bateman is due for more work from here on out.
Tight Ends
Brenton Strange at Las Vegas (7%)
12 targets from a tight end in this economy? Sign me up for that I dont care how Strange his last name is… The Second most targets for a tight end this season. Bowers got targeted 13 times in week 11.
Stone Smartt vs Denver (6%)
Led the Chargers in catches with 5, ok he had the same amount as Ladd, and QJ. But still had 5 catches. A fumble hurt his fantasy day. But Chargers are struggling running the ball. Smartt could be in line for a TE2 day.
Hail Mary Adds
Cooper Rush vs. Tampa Bay (11%)
The Bucs’ pass defense is a sinking ship, and Cooper Rush has the chance to play captain. Just keep feeding Lamb, and watch Tampa’s secondary go under. It’s risky, but Rush offers a safe 15-point floor in this matchup.
Kendre Miller at Green Bay (16%)
If Alvin Kamara is out, he will get carries. But Monday night football gives Kamara an extra day to heal up.
Calvin Austin at Baltimore (13%)
Led the team in receiving yards. Good matchup, no George Pickens maybe he pulls a rabbit out of a hat.
Chig Okonkwo at Indinapolis (7%)
Pulled in 8 catches on 10 targets last week.
