Fantasy Football Week 12 Waiver Wire: D/ST options to consider streaming

As we enter Week 12, there will be four teams on bye - the Chargers, Commanders, Broncos and Dolphins. That means many fantasy football managers will be looking for a streaming option with Denver not in action. Below we'll go over some D/ST streamers via Justin Boone's weekly fantasy football waiver wire column.

Fantasy Football Week 12 D/ST Streamers

Team	Next Up	Rostered
Browns	at LV	48%
Bears	vs. PIT	37%
49ers	vs. CAR	18%
Jaguars	at ARI	20%
Raiders	vs. CLE	4%

Browns at Raiders: So long as Myles Garrett is on Cleveland, the team's D/ST will have value in fantasy football. The presence of Garrett means sacks - he's up to 15 on the season - and that raises the floor of the Browns' unit overall. It doesn't hurt that the Raiders are surrendering the third-most fantasy points to opposing defenses this season entering MNF in Week 11.

Bears vs. Steelers: Chicago offers a great streaming option against Pittsburgh, which could be down two key players on offense - QB Aaron Rodgers and RB Jaylen Warren. The Bears have also done a great job forcing turnovers this season with 15 INTs and seven forced fumbles - a +16 differential (best in the NFL).

49ers vs. Panthers: This move has more to do with game script. San Francisco is at home against Carolina, which allows fantasy points to opponents at a top-10 rate. If the Niners go up big, that could force Bryce Young into more throws, which could translate to turnovers and sacks.

Jaguars at Cardinals: Jacksonville has posted back-to-back double-digit fantasy point totals and just made the Chargers look inept on offense. Arizona is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to opponents so far this season.

Raiders vs. Browns: There's a chance Cleveland is forced to start rookie QB Shedeur Sanders in Week 12. He didn't inspire much confidence in relief of QB Dillon Gabriel against the Ravens in Week 11. That could put Las Vegas in a good spot.
