Week 12 Fantasy Football Projections and Waiver Wire Options: Darnell Mooney, Colston Loveland, Bryce Young and More
Taking a look at week 12 fantasy football projections to identify some possible waiver wire options.
FantasySP has already posted a bunch of week 12 fantasy football waiver wire stories, looking at quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight ends and FAAB for QB/TE and RB/WR. Now, I'm going to go over week 12 fantasy projections to see who stands out.
We will cover players rostered in less than 90% of leagues.
Check out fantasy football projections on FantasySP all season.
Wide Receivers
Cleveland's Jerry Jeudy is projected for 12 PPR fantasy points in a favorable test against the Raiders in week 12. He is currently rostered in 75% of fantasy leagues.
Tampa Bay's Chris Godwin is set for 12 points if he can return this week. He's rostered in 64% of leagues and would face the Rams if he's cleared to play finally.
Seattle's Cooper Kupp is projected for 11 points in a favorable test against the Titans. The veteran wideout is owned in 55% of leagues.
Atlanta's Darnell Mooney is set for 10 PPR points against the Saints. He is rostered in 32% of leagues now, and that should grow after the injury to Drake London, who is expected to miss at least one week.
Green Bay's Matthew Golden is projected for 10 points in a tougher test against the Vikings. He is currently rostered in 57% of fantasy leagues.
San Francisco's Ricky Pearsall falls just below 90% rostered. He's set for 10 points against the Panthers, which is a tough matchup on paper.
Buffalo's Keon Coleman, Indianapolis' Josh Downs, Kansas City's Marquise Brown and Houston's Christian Kirk are all projected for nine PPR points in week 12.
Coleman has a tough test against the Texans, and is owned in 58% of leagues now. Downs will face the Chiefs, and is rostered in 60% of fantasy leagues.
Brown has the Colts and is down to 29% owned now. Kirk is rostered in just 19% of leagues going into his test against the Bills.
Running Backs
Carolina's Chuba Hubbard is projected for 13 PPR points against the Niners. He's lost the starting role, and hasn't done much as RB2 behind Rico Dowdle. Hubbard is down to 78% rostered, and I expect that to drop this week.
Tennessee's Tony Pollard is set for 11 PPR points against the Seahawks in week 12. He's currently rostered in 87% of leagues.
Minnesota's Jordan Mason is at nine PPR points in a week 12 test against the Packers. Mason is owned in 80% of leagues now.
Kansas City's Isiah Pacheco is set for eight points against the Colts. He is still working his way back from injury, so his status will need to be monitored. Pacheco is currently rostered in 74% of leagues.
Tennessee's Tyjae Spears is owned in 58% of leagues and is projected for eight PPR points against the Seahawks.
Tight Ends
Minnesota's T.J. Hockenson is projected for 10 PPR points against the Packers in week 12. He is owned in 77% of leagues now.
Cleveland's David Njoku is only at eight PPR points, and that's for a tough test against the Raiders. He's rostered in 64% of fantasy leagues.
Buffalo's Dalton Kincaid is set for eight points in a tougher test against the Texans. Kincaid is rosteered in 87% of leagues, and is working his way through an injury, so his status needs to be monitored.
Chicago's Colston Loveland is projected for eight points in a favorable test against the Steelers. He's rostered in 54% of leagues right now.
New England's Hunter Henry is set for eight points in a favorable matchup against the Bengals. He's owned in 82% of fantasy leagues.
Houston's Dalton Schultz is projected for eight points as well, but in a tough test against the Bills. He's rostered in 73% of fantasy leagues.
Quarterbacks
Green Bay's Jordan Love is projected for 19 fantasy points against the Vikings in week 12. He is currently rostered in 83% of fantasy leagues.
San Francisco's Brock Purdy is set for 18 points in a clash against the Panthers. He is owned in 71% of leagues now.
Jacksonville's Trevor Lawrence is projected for 16 fantasy points against the Cardinals, and is owned in 41% of leagues right now.
Minnesota's J.J. McCarthy, Carolina's Bryce Young and Seattle's Sam Darnold are quarterbacks projected for 14 fantasy points each in week 12.
McCarthy has the Packers this coming week, and he's rostered in 63% of leagues now. Young is at 12% owned and will have the Niners in week 12. Darnold will square off against the Titans and is rostered in 72% of leagues.
