Lamar Jackson, if he starts, has top-shelf upside in a sweet home matchup with Oakland. Which other waiver-wire quarterbacks can you trust in Week 12?

Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Bucs are turning back to Jameis Winston for Week 12, and a home date with the San Francisco 49ers puts Winston in the streaming crosshairs.

Admittedly, It's hard to feel too good about starting any Tampa Bay passer these days as a mid-game benching is squarely on the table for both Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick. But while Winston's real-life impact this year has been underwhelming, he's been pretty good in fantasy, averaging 16.3 fantasy points per game -- and that includes his mid-game benchings as well as his relief appearances. In the last two games in which he started and finished (Weeks 6 and 7), Winston put up 30.7 and 20.1 fantasy points.

San Francisco owns the league's 10th-worst defense, per our metrics, and they're allowing the 9th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Tampa Bay's 29.25-point implied total is the week's third-best clip.

We forecast Winston for 19.01 fantasy points, slotting him as our QB12 for Week 12.
