We're getting down to "must-win" time in fantasy football, and it's all about doing whatever it takes to secure victories and make the playoffs or improve your seeding. That might mean selling out for waiver wire pickups if you're dealing with injuries or bad matchups, and with just two weeks left in the fantasy regular season, there's no reason to hold back your FAAB bids or high waiver claims. Heading into Week 12, there are several interesting players worth adding, including potential starting RBs Gus Edwards and Cam Akers, breakout WRs Michael Pittman Jr., Nelson Agholor, and Ru sell Gage, streamer TE Jordan Reed, and sleeper QB Derek Carr.

Aswe'll do every week, let'sbreak down the top pickups and project how much of yourFAABbudget you should bid on them. Again, if you have exce s money and are in desperate need at a certain position (especially if you're on the playoff bubble), you should be willing to go over the projected bid amounts.

Week 12 Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire QB pickups

Derek Carr(OAK).After three straight games that left a lot to be desired, Carr bounced back with a three-touchdown performance Sunday night against the Chiefs. As long as hes playing the Chiefs hes a lock in your fantasy lineups. Erick Aybar Jersey Sadly, both games against Kansas City have come and gone. However, Carrs next two games provide a solid floor against the Falcons and the Jets. The Falcons allow on average 26.0 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks in four-point per pa sing touchdown leagues. They heldTaysom Hillto zero pa sing touchdowns last week, but hes the exception, not the rule. Carr is having po sibly the best season of his career. He has 19 touchdowns to just three interceptions, and we could be looking at another three- or four-touchdown performance against Atlantas awful secondary. Proj. FAAB Bid: 10-13%

Kirk Cousins(MIN).Cousins is on a heater recently, and Im hoping he doesnt cool off anytime soon. Over his past four games he has nine touchdown pa ses and just one interception. Hes also been throwing it a little more over the last few weeks, as well. Lets be honest, when you haveDalvin Cookat your disposal you dont nece sarilyneedto throw it a lot, so its worth mentioning Cousins is a little dependent on game flow. Cousins facesoff against Carolina in Week 12, and prior to facingMatthew Staffordand the Lions, the Panthers had allowed four straight quarterbacks to drop at least 280 pa sing yards on them. Expect more of the same from Minnesota this week: Theyll runDalvin Cookearly, but theyll open up the pa sing attack more as the game progre ses. We also need to keep an eye onAdam Thielens status. Hes Cousins favorite target but hes currently on the NFLs COVIDlist, so hell need to provide some negative tests in order to play. Proj.FAAB Bid: 8 Chris Paddack Jersey -9%

Daniel Jones(NYG).Not that its any secret, but if you can land Carr or Cousins over Jones, by all means do so. But in deeper leagues if youre trying to replaceJoe Burrow, thenJonesis in a good spot this week facing Burrows Bengals, who provide a nice matchup for quarterbacks.Alex Smithmay not have taken advantage, but Jones and the Giants are in the hunt for the NFC East title and Jones isnt afraid to tuck the ball Eric Hosmer Jersey and run. He has at least 20 rushing yards in all but two games this year and at least 40 rushing yards in five. We may be looking at a 20-point fantasy week from Jones in Week 12. IfTua Tagovailoais available in your league you could give him a look. He got benched in Week 11, but hes been named the starter for Week 12 against the Jets, and streaming quarterbacks against the Jets is relatively safe. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6%

Week 12Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire RB pickups

James White(NE). Rex Burkheads knee injury is obviously unfortunate, but it does open the door forWhite to get more playing time. Whites ownership has dropped to under 40 percentin some formats, and hes the obvious beneficiary to the check down targets fromCam Newton. In Sundays lo s to the Texans, White caught six pa ses on nine targets for 64 yards.Sony Michelis more likely to cut intoDamien Harris workload (although Im still not that concerned for Harris) than he is Whites. Michel had 19 catches total between 2018 and '19, and this is a role White is more than familiar with, so in PPR formats hes a very strong addition off waivers as a potential flex option. Proj.FAAB Bid: 12%

Gus Edwards(BAL).Edwards is going to be popular and a heavily featured player in any waiver wire column this week. JK Dobbins andMark Ingramtested positive for COVID, and the Ravens play Thursday night. Based on opportunity alone, Edwards makes too much sense. Do we wish the matchup was better? Of course. The Steelers allow the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game to running backs, and theyre the top-ranked defense against running backs in fantasy. They havent allowed a rushing touchdown in three straight games, although that could change ifLamar Jacksongets his act together. Either way, were looking at a running back who could see 15-20 touches Thursday night, so we have to jump on volume. If youre desperate for a win, you might spend 15 Zach Davies Jersey -20 percentof your FAAB to start this guy, but if youre set at running back and just want a little depth, take a more tame approach. Proj. FAAB Bid: 10%

Carlos Hyde(SEA).Its pretty likely thatChris Carson (foot) returns to action next Monday night against the Eagles, but given how good Hyde looked last Thursday against the Cardinals, we can target him on waivers for much needed depth as we inch closer to the fantasy playoffs. Carsons coming off an injury that kept him out a little longer than most fantasy owners expected, so, while Im not hoping he gets hurt again, based on what weve seen in 2020 its certainly on the table. With Hyde active last week it was pretty clear how the Seahawks felt about him compared toDeeJay Dallas. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6-8%

Cam Akers(LAR).Akers has seen his ownership drop considerably in recent weeks.Darrell Henderson appeared in the first two series Monday night and had involvement late into the game, but it was Akers who found the end zone. Sean McVay has said he expects bigger things for Akers in the second half, too. If he didn't score on Monday, he Luis Urias Jersey probably doesnt crack the waiver column, but this is still a talented rookie who will continue to frustrate fantasy owners. Hes not a mus
