Fantasy Football Waiver Wire and Starter Rankings, Week 12

Happy Thanksgiving! This week, we got the gift of Monday night’s Rams-Chiefs game, but now get the pain of both teams being off for a full week, which takes out a ton of top performers and means you might need a few fill-ins.

I’m combining the waiver wire and starter recommendations this week, and I’ve put players that are likely to be available in ALL CAPS, and bolded those that are in typical starting range.
