Week 12 Adds

This post will provide a list of some of the best available waiver pickups for this upcoming Week 12 and beyond. Before getting to this week's list, here are some players from previous weeks that are still good waiver adds if they are still available:

Week 11 Adds- Carson Palmer, Earl Bennett
Week 10 Adds- Andy Dalton, Tim Tebow, Ben Tate, Laurent Robinson
Week 9 Adds- Chris Ogbonnaya, Brent Celek
Week 8 Adds- DeMarco Murray, Jabar Gaffney

Now here's the short list for this week:

Kevin Smith- with Jahvid Best still out and after his monster performance on Sunday, Smith is probably the the top add from the waiver wire. As long as Best is out and Smith is healthy, he should be able to continue putting up good if not great numbers as a part of the offensive juggernaut that is the Detroit Lions.

Joe McKnight- the Jets were without LaDainian Tomlinson from the start and lost Shonn Greene early in last Thursday's game, which allowed the opportunity for McKnight's breakout. Green is expected back this week while Tomlinson is expected to be still be out. This means that McKnight should at least be the third down back and depending on Greene's health, he could have enough carries to make contribute significant fantasy points.

Montario Hardesty- he is close to returning for the Browns. At this point, adding him would be for the purpose of stashing him. Once he returns and with Peyton Hillis still being declared out on Mondays, he should reclaim the top running back spot and produce as long as he is not being eased back in.
