Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Players to drop for your Week 12 pickups

3 hours ago7 min read

Alright folks, let's huddle up because we're heading into the fantasy football stretch run, and it's time to make some brutally honest roster cuts that feel like benching your favorite player during the championship game. Look, I get the attachment—you drafted these guys, you've watched their highlights, you've argued about them in the group chat—but sentimentality doesn't win leagues, and right now, holding onto dead weight is like trying to run a fast break with ankle weights.Take Garrett Wilson, for instance. The man's on IR with a knee issue, and the Jets are sitting at 2-8, which is basically the fantasy equivalent of a sinking ship.Even if he's back by Week 15, do you really trust that offense to deliver when it matters? It's like waiting for a comeback that's never coming, and if you're tight on roster spots, it's time to cut the cord and grab someone who's actually suiting up. Then there's Khalil Shakir, and man, as someone who's rostered him, I feel your pain—it's a rollercoaster that only goes down.He teases you with a decent game, then drops a stinker like last week's one catch for -3 yards. Seriously, negative yards? Even Josh Allen's heroics couldn't save him, and with just one game over 69 yards all season, he's more bust than boom.It's like that friend who always says they'll show up but bails last minute; you're better off swapping him for a receiver on the rise. Over in Chargers land, Keenan Allen's slump is hitting hard—no double-digit games since Week 7 and a bye week ahead, but the real kicker is their brutal schedule: four of their remaining opponents are top-four in limiting WR points.It's like trying to score against a brick wall, and with Kimani Vidal putting up rookie numbers that scream 'bench me'—13 yards last game?—and Omarion Hampton looming, it's a no-brainer to drop him. And Rachaad White? Dude's been fading since Week 6, out-touched and out-produced by Sean Tucker, who exploded for 106 yards and two touchdowns.With Bucky Irving possibly returning, White's value is plummeting faster than a bad trade rumor. Bottom line: in fantasy, loyalty can cost you the trophy, so be ruthless and make those drops now.
