At least at the end of the day, you can say you tried.That’s what this week’s “In the Scope” targets are focused on. Players, who still won’t be seen as priority claims, but are players you can stick in your lineup over the next two weeks and help you vie for a spot in the fantasy football playoffs come Week 14.So, as always, here are your Week 12 “In the Scope” candidates who have the potential to be next week’s priority waiver claims.

In the Scope: Week 11 Re-emerging Targets

Timing is one of the most crucial factors when it comes to considering adding any player to a fantasy football roster.Sometimes stats and trends mislead us to believe that a breakout for a player is coming. And while sometimes as analysts we just flat-out whiff, Dante Pettis for example, a majority of the time we just miss on the timing – often predicting a breakout too early.This week’s edition of “In the Scope” is all about players who are or could be re-emerging back into the fantasy landscape.Still, players who have the potential to be next week’s priority claims, this week’s “In the Scope” targets are some familiar faces that could help your team make a run to the coveted fantasy football playoffs.

Who to get for the Fantasy Playoffs?

Speaking of quarterbacks that you can get off of waivers unless somebody in your league did this already, we have Nick Foles. Normally, I wouldn’t touch good ol’ St. Nick in fantasy. However, he plays the Raiders and the Falcons during fantasy playoffs, which will make virtually anybody a potential starter. The Raiders and Falcons are two of the teams that allow the most fantasy points to quarterbacks. That’s not good unless you’re starting a quarterback that plays against them, which you can do in back-to-back weeks with Foles in the fantasy playoffs.

Week 10 Streamers

Ryan Tannehill (TEN) vs Chiefs, 8.4% owned
Tannehill has performed well in his three starts from Week’s 7-9, putting up 19.2, 19.4, and then 23 fantasy points in four-point touchdown scoring. Now, he draws a plus matchup at home against the Chiefs. I expect Patrick Mahomes to return for this game, which will allow the Chiefs to put up points on the Titans much more so than with interim starter Matt Moore. Therefore, the Titans will need to play catch up, and Tannehill will be forced to throw.

Redraft Waiver Wire: Week 8

Kenny Stills returned from his two-week absence to put up 105 yards after catching four of five targets. Stills has been hit and miss for fantasy so far this season, scoring double-digit points three times, but less than five points twice in the five games he has played. But the reason Stills is a must-add is the potential lengthy absence of Will Fuller.

Redraft Waiver Wire Week 7

Auden Tate has become a consistent part of the Bengals offense through six weeks, an offense that has spent an average of 38 minutes and 47 seconds trailing per game. If this trend continues, and the Bengals have shown nothing to say that it won’t, Andy Dalton will be passing the ball a lot. The Bengals have averaged 40.5 passing attempts per game and since Week 2, an average of 8.5 targets per game have headed Auden Tate’s way. Their upcoming opponents and their once feared defenses have been middle of the pack this season when it comes to allowing fantasy points to wide receivers (JAX 15th and LAR 21st in points allowed to WRs in 2019).
