10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 12
Who should you be targeting on your wire to help you make a playoff push? We've got you covered.

DeVante Parker, WR, Miami Dolphins

ESPN: 48%
Yahoo: 67%

DeVante Parker's been a frustrating player to own this season; so frustrating in fact that he's currently available in less than half of ESPN leagues. But there's a real chance that he could be in a prime position to deliver for your fantasy squads right as the playoffs kick off.

Parker was a really efficient receiver in his rookie season, putting up a 0.98 Reception NEP per target, which ranked fourth out of the 86 receivers with at least 50 targets on the season. But while Parker's been underwhelming this season, he's been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury he Jay Ajayi becoming the team's premier offensive weapon, defenses are going to have to adjust to the fact that Jarvis Landry will be less frequently used as an extension of the running game, with short, often inefficient passes. And with teams having to respect the run, Ryan Tannehill may be able to start directing more of his focus to the far more athletic Parker.

Prior to the season, I thought Parker had elite fantasy football upside for 2016. It certainly hasn't turned out that way yet, but don't shut the door on that possibility for the rest of the season.
