The Wire – Week 12 pick-ups: Glorious Returns
As week 12 approaches, bye weeks are finally over and there’s a good chance your team is closing in on clinching a playoff spot. From this point on, you’ll be relying on free agent pick-ups to get you past any injuries your team might face. So with that in mind, here are the potential waiver wire targets for the upcoming week. This week is headlined by a couple of wide receivers making their return to the playing field, Vincent Jackson from suspension/hold-out and Sidney Rice from hip surgery. As always, we’ve included the percentage owned (taken from Yahoo.) Take a look and see if any of these guys can help patch your squad together and carry you to the Promised Land…
Here’s a direct link to the spreadsheet, in case you’re into that kind of stuff.

Would you guys rather pickup Hightower, Wells, Burleson, Ivory, or Balir White in a PPR league for the rest of the season. I’m leaning towards Burleson but I have to believe Wells will do something when he’s at 100%.

I agree with Burleson…he’s the most sure thing on the list.

I actually had Hightower already. In the end I ended up swapping Wells for Hightower, Burleson for Cribbs (Return Yardage League), and Cassel for McNabb to leave me in good shape for the rest of the year. The team (PPR) is sitting pretty currently:
QB – Eli, Palmer, Cassel (for playoff matchups)
WR – Roddy White, Wayne, Burleson, Williams (SEA), and Rice for insurance
RB – Foster, Rice, Best, Wells
TE – Winslow, Heap
K – Folk (just for this week)
DST – TEN only because Cleveland wasn’t available to swap.
My WR corps has officially become target city with my 5 WRs racking up 49 targets last week! Not bad for a PPR team!

hi Jack
I know you are done w/ moss, but for a WR3, who do you play? Nate burleson, Amendola, donald driver, or moss?
how does yahoo project keiland williams w/ 19 points, vs mcfadden, 11.85 or so in my league, and mcfadden is playing miami? so i have to start AP (finally, childress is fired, is it too late for AP?) and thought I could go jamaal in RB2 and mcfadden at flex. but what about keiland replacing either charles/mcfadden? or is that just foolish….
last two i promise: Witten or Pettigrew on Turkey day?
Kitna, dirty sanchez, josh freeman, or shuan hill at QB?
thanks, and happy Turkey day!

I’d go with Burleson against the Patriots, who have the worst secondary that I’ve seen in a long time. As for the flex, stick with McFadden. I know he didn’t do a whole lot last week, but give him another chance against a non-Steelers defense. As for the receiver and quarterback, leave a comment tomorrow when I put up the rankings and I have more time to do a little research
