Each week, TSN.ca takes a look at the top available players in fantasy football ahead of the Wednesday waiver deadline. This week, Thomas Rawls leads a list of injury-replacement running backs that should be scooped up late in the season.

 

Thomas Rawls
1. RB Thomas Rawls, Seattle Seahawks

Last Week: 30 carries, 209 yards, 1 TD

  • Week 12 Opponent
    vs Steelers
  • % Owned
    37.1
  • FAAB Bid
    $75
Rawls may not still be available in your league - Marshawn Lynch has been battling injuries for a while now - but if he is, he's a must-own now that Lynch is in danger of missing the rest of the year. Seattle is a great place for running backs and Rawls has proven in his short stint he's capable of putting up Beast Mode numbers.
Javorius Allen
2. Javorius "Buck" Allen, Baltimore Ravens

Last Week: 22 carries, 67 yards; 5 receptions (6 targets), 48 yards

  • Week 12 Opponent
    at Browns
  • % Owned
    5.3
  • FAAB Bid
    $30
Allen is the next man up for the Ravens after Justin Forsett suffered a broken arm against the St. Louis Rams. With QB Joe Flacco also out for the season, the Ravens should lean heavily on the run down the stretch. Allen should be considered an RB2 against the Browns.
Jameis Winston
3. QB Jameis Winston, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Last Week: 19/29, 246 yards, 5 TDs, 0 INTs

  • Week 12 Opponent
    at Colts
  • % Owned

  • FAAB Bid
    $21
Winston is a must-own in dynasty formats, but is also quickly becoming one in redraft leagues as well. With his huge five-touchdown performance in Week 11, the first overall pick jumped into the Top 10 in fantasy points at his position
Terrance Williams
4. WR Terrance Williams, Dallas Cowboys

Last Week: 4 receptions (4 targets), 79 yards, 1 TD

  • Week 12 Opponent
    vs Panthers

With the return of Tony Romo behind centre in Dallas, all Cowboys skill players get a boost in their fantasy rating. That turns Williams, previously a free agent, into a WR3 option. He proved what he can do with Romo last week, scoring 14 points.
Spencer Ware
5. RB Spencer Ware, Kansas City Chiefs

Last Week: 11 carries, 96 yards, 2 TDs

  • Week 12 Opponent
    vs Buffalo

Ware only becomes a useful pick up if Charcandrick West's hamstring injury keeps him out next week - so keep checking the injury reports - but what a useful pick up he'd be. Ware was Rawls-like filling in for West, going for more than 20 points in Week 11.
Marquess Wilson
6. WR Marquess Wilson, Chicago Bears

Last Week: 4 receptions (7 targets), 102 yards

  • Week 12 Opponent
    at Green Bay

Wilson is a good receiver whenever injuries give him a chance. He once again proved he can be productive when he's on the field and if Alshon Jeffery remains out for Week 12, Wilson should be in line for another decent week.
Mark Sanchez
7. QB Mark Sanchez, Philadelphia Eagles

Last Week: 26/41, 261 yards, 2 TDs, 3 INTs

  • Week 12 Opponent
    at Lions
  • % Owned
    7.5
  • FAAB Bid
    $5
Making his first start of the season, Sanchez finished just outside the Top 12 in fantasy QBs this week in the Eagles' thrashing by the Bucs. There's a good chance Sanchez starts again next week with Sam Bradford still battling injuries, but with all the bye weeks over, he's only in play for desperate teams.
Brock Osweiler
8. QB Brock Osweiler, Denver Broncos

Last Week: 20/27, 250 yards, 2 TDs

  • Week 12 Opponent
    vs Patriots
  • % Owned
    9.7
  • FAAB Bid
    $5
It was reported Monday that Osweiler will get another start in place of Peyton Manning after his solid showing in Week 11, but the task gets tougher in Week 12, against the Patriots, on Sunday Night.
Devin Funchess
9. WR Devin Funchess, Carolina Panthers

Last Week: 4 receptions (8 targets), 64 yards, 1 TD

  • Week 12 Opponent
    at Cowboys
  • % Owned
    10.8
  • FAAB Bid
    $4
This is the second game in three weeks Funchess put up a very respectable score. The rookie's targets appear to be on the rise, a good thing for a receiver on an undefeated team with an MVP-calibre quarterback throwing him the ball.
Tevin Coleman
10. RB Tevin Coleman, Atlanta Falcons

Last Week: 17 carries, 48 yards

  • Week 12 Opponent
    vs Vikings
  • % Owned
    26.1
  • FAAB Bid

Tevin Coleman barely makes the list and definitely doesn't if it looks like Devonta Freeman will play Week 12 after suffering a concussion last week so keep an eye on injury news before locking in your bid. Coleman didn't look great filling in for Freeman last week but is in line for a full workload if Freeman is out, good enough reason for an add.
