Injury Woes and Suspensions Shake Up Week 12 Waiver Wire
18 Nov
Summary
- Several major injuries, including Ja'Marr Chase's suspension
- Quarterbacks Michael Penix Jr. and Aaron Rodgers potentially out
- Running backs Josh Jacobs, Jaylen Warren, and others injured
As the 2025 NFL season reaches Week 12, fantasy managers are facing a slew of injuries and suspensions that are shaking up the waiver wire. On the quarterback front, Michael Penix Jr. has been placed on injured reserve and could be out for the season, while Aaron Rodgers might miss the upcoming game against the Chicago Bears due to a wrist injury.
At running back, several players were injured in Week 11, including Josh Jacobs, Jaylen Warren, Emari Demercado, and Bhayshul Tuten. If Jacobs and Warren are unable to play in Week 12, their backups, Emanuel Wilson and Kenneth Gainwell, could become top waiver wire priorities. Additionally, if Demercado is out, Zonovan Knight could be worth adding in all leagues.
The wide receiver position has also been hit hard, with Drake London set to miss Week 12 due to a knee injury. This could mean an increased role for Darnell Mooney, while the suspension of Ja'Marr Chase for one game makes Andrei Iosivas a potential waiver wire target for the Bengals.
With four teams on a bye this week, the waiver wire is sure to be a busy and competitive place as fantasy managers look to fill the gaps in their rosters and stay competitive in their leagues.
