Doug Pensinger/Getty ImagesWeek 12 is now upon us on the NFL schedule, and can often be a turning point in fantasy football as well as for the real teams with Thanksgiving approaching.From this point on, the best teams usually prove themselves and the teams that aren’t so good proveReebok Minnesota Vikings #4 Brett Favre Realtree camo Jersey
that as well.Injuries have opened up opportunities for players to produce, and thus provide an opportunity for shrewd fantasy football owners to make a roster addition or two to bolster their playoff run.If you find yourself in need of a little roster refreshing, take a look at our “Week 12 Waiver Wire Pick Them Ups” list for recommendations at each position.Matt Cassel (Kansas City Chiefs)Cassel went 15-for-24 for 193 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals, and has now put up double-digit fantasy points in six straight games and seven of his last eight.He has also avoided turnovers over the last six weeks, throwing just one interception in that span. The Chiefs typically don’t throw the ball a lot, but Cassel has a favorable matchup coming in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks.Cassel also has a favorable-looking schedule in Week 15 and 16, when most fantasy leagues have playoffs, with games against the St. Louis Rams and Tennessee Titans those weeks.Chris McGrath/Getty ImagesThe surging signal caller can be used as a starter down the stretch of the season, particularly in leagues where you have to start two quarterbacks.Keiland Williams (Washington Redskins)Williams had 95 total yard (68 rushing) on 29 touches in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans.With Ryan Torain (hamstring) and Clinton Portis (groin) both dealing with injuries, Williams has emerged as the lead back for the Redskins over the last two Reebok Minnesota Vikings #69 Jared Allen Realtree camo Jersey
weeks.In Week 10 against the Philadelphia Eagles, Williams scored three total touchdowns and had 139 total yards.With the questionable status of Torain and Portis going forward, Williams should be in line for plenty of touches as long as he can be productive. The fact that he has 10 catches over the past two games only further enhances his fantasy potential, and he is a worthy addition in all fantasy formats.Robert Meachem (New Orleans Saints)Meachem had three receptions for 50 yards and two touchdowns against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 11. On top of that, he scored for the first time since scoring in back-to-back games in Week 5 and 6.With Saints’ quarterback Drew Brees spreading the ball around the way he does, it can be hard to rely upon any one member of the receiving corp, but when someone emerges it is also hard for fantasy owners to ignore.The New Orleans offense is prolific and if you can find the right receiver each week, you can optimize your lineup.

Meachem’s fantasy value is greater in standard leagues, but owners in need of wide receiver depth will certainly want to consider adding him.To see who else to pick up this week go here... Who to Pick Up in Week 12
