Quick hitters and waiver wire advice for a handful of notable players after Week 12 of the fantasy football season:
Looking good
JaMychal Hasty RB, Jaguars
A foot injury that forced out Travis Etienne on Sunday isn’t thought to be serious. But if he could have re-entered a close game Sunday and didn’t, why would we believe he will get full a workload in Week 13?
Raheem Mostert RB, Dolphins
Expected back this week from a knee problem. Though he plays second fiddle to his ex-49ers second fiddle Jeff Wilson. But expect both to get plenty of work — and some TD opportunities — against their former team next week.
Brian Robinson RB, Commanders
It wasn’t just his share of work Sunday that was impressive (20 touches to Antonio Gibson’s 12), his effectiveness and toughness also stood out.
Zay Jones WR, Jaguars
Had 14 targets and caught 11 of them (for 145 yards). Trevor Lawrence might be finding himself a new favorite receiver.
Looking rough
Christian McCaffrey RB, 49ers
Don’t sweat his limited use and production of late. Elijah Mitchell likely sprained his MCL, coach Kyle Shanahan said. That should free up more touches — and fantasy production — for CMC.
Alvin Kamara RB, Saints
Has lacked efficiency on the ground in five straight games. turning into just a PPR product. Three single-digit efforts in the past four games. Worse, you can’t bench him either because of his breakout potential. Is it past your trade deadline?
Dameon Pierce RB, Texans
Two straight weeks of abysmal production numbers (1.1 yards per carry). Worse, split heavily with Dare Ogunbowale on Sunday. Keep him the lineup this week vs. a weak Browns run D, but if he goes belly up, park him at the end of your bench.
Adam Lazard WR, Packers
Chairman of the Brotherhood of Blah. His uninspiring production led to Aaron ridgers finding a new favorite (Christian Watson). And his prospects don’t get any brighter is Jordan Love is his QB.
