10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 12

Baker Mayfield, QB, Cleveland Browns

Yahoo Ownership: 40%

If you're looking for a streaming quarterback option in Week 12, Baker Mayfield is pretty widely available, thanks in part to the fact that he's coming off a bye week. Sharp owners aren't hanging onto quarterback streamers on their bench in most league formats.

Mayfield has, despite being a Cleveland Brown, established himself as a viable fantasy option in his rookie season.

His first two games both saw him fail to crack 15 fantasy points, but since then he has topped 15 in 4 of 6. He also has more than 17 in 3 of his last 4, while 2 of those last 4 games have also seen him crack 20. His most recent outing saw him notch a season-high 22.6, while throwing for 3 touchdowns for the first time in his career.

The only time in his last 4 games that he failed to hit at least 17 was against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who ranked seventh overall and fourth against the pass in numberFire's defensive metrics coming into Week 11.

Week 12's opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, don't stack up quite as well. They rank 13th against the pass and 19th overall, and while those aren't terrible marks, they entered Week 11 allowing the league's second-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
