This is it! The last bye week! Your fantasy football playoffs have essentially begun and trade deadlines have already past or are looming. The waiver offerings have been hit and miss so far this season, but it is time to make some finishing moves. We are almost through all of the bye weeks so we only have to navigate a one more week that we will be short players.

It's sad to say, but injuries do make the waiver wire more interesting. We are not injury vultures, we wish those that are injured the best of luck, we are just playing a game and are looking to optimize our chances of winning.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Adds

Players We Can Drop

When we make waiver claims most of the time we can easily determine who to add, but we struggle with which players to drop. It is very difficult to give-up on a player we thought was worth drafting in the first place. If you are struggling, you should be dropping your questions or concerns in our FREE Discord channel. Don't be afraid of it, I'm over 50 and navigate it fairly well.

Injuries and other updates:

QB Kyler Murray is eligible to return to practice, but the Cardinals aren't opening his window to return from IR yet, per @darrenurban.bsky.social.

Coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that Marvin Harrison Jr.’s heel injury is similar to the one that kept Max Melton (heel) out of Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay, Tyler Drake of ArizonaSports.com reports. Gannon also noted that Harrison is "going to see the doc later on here."

Rams RB Kyren Williams left Sunday’s game with an ankle issue and WR Davante Adams had hamstring soreness but neither is injury is considered serious. “Nothing that we expect to restrict guys from being available this week,” said Rams HC Sean McVay. “We might limit some guys in practice.” per @nflfantasynews.bsky.social

Coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Jayden Reed (foot) has yet to be medically cleared to return to game action, but the plan is to see where he's at by the end of the week, Rob Demovsky reports.

Coach John Harbaugh said Justice Hill (neck) will be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The Packers opened MarShawn Lloyd's (hamstring) 21-day window in which to return from injured reserve Monday, Tom Pelissero reports.

Previous Injuries and Notes to Remember

Mike Garafolo reports Lane Johnson suffered a Lisfranc injury in Week 11’s win over the Lions and will miss 4-6 weeks.

Falcons placed QB Michael Penix (knee) on injured reserve.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Penix aggravated a bone bruise and knee sprain he suffered earlier in the season, but also added, “there has been damage to the ACL, which could mean a full reconstruction.”

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said “it’s fair to say [the offense will] look different” with Kirk Cousins as the starter.

NFL Network’ Ian Rapoport reports Drake London suffered a sprained PCL in Week 11’s loss to the Panthers. There’s a good chance London misses more than just one game, but for now, we know he will be sidelined for Week 12 against the Saints.

Jets HC Aaron Glenn has informed the team that Tyrod Taylor will start in Week 12 against the Ravens.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) was listed as a DNP on Monday’s estimated practice report. Kincaid missed Week 11’s game due to his hamstring injury and could be at risk of missing Week 12 due to the short turnaround to prepare for Thursday night.

Rich Cimini reports Garrett Wilson will miss 3-4 weeks with a knee sprain.

Ian Rapoport reports Jackson Powers-Johnson’s ankle injury “could potentially end his season.” Powers-Johnson has started every game at right guard for the Raiders this season, earning a PFF grade of 63.8 while being one of the few bright spots of an underwhelming group. This is bad news for Ashton Jeanty.

Joe Alt will undergo season-ending ankle surgery, the Chargers announce. This is a severe downgrade for Herbert and the Chargers offense.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels is expected to be sidelined indefinitely due to his dislocated left elbow, but it is uncertain whether his season is over, per sources. Commanders Head Coach, Dan Quinn said there's "no timetable" for Jayden Daniels' return.

Tests confirmed that Packers TE Tucker Kraft did in fact tear his ACL as feared, per source

Kyler Murray (foot) placed on IR, he will miss at least 4 games. Jacoby Brissett is in line to make at least more four starts while Kyler Murray (foot) is on injured reserve.

Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Wednesday that Trey Benson (knee) is "doing well" but isn't ready to practice, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
