Fantasy Football 2014: Top Waiver Wire Week 12 Pickups
Dallas Cowboys D/ST (30.4%)
The Cowboys defense is coming off their bye week which followed two of their better performances of the season. In London in week 10, they held the Jaguars to 17 points and forced three turnovers while cruising to a 31-17 victory. Dallas picked up four sacks in their win as well.
This week, the Cowboys return to face their division-rivals as they head to MetLife Stadium to take on the Giants. Last week, “Bad Eli” showed up for the Giants as Manning threw five interceptions against the 49ers. The Giants have had multiple turnovers in three of their last four games including their loss in Dallas back in week seven.
While the Cowboys are not an elite defensive unit, they should be well-rested and catch Manning and the Giants at the right time, so I think they’ll make a nice streaming option since they’re available in most leagues especially as they come off their bye week.
