Fantasy Football Week 12: Best Waiver Wire Targets & Thursday Night Football Props Breakdown | Stephie Smalls Show (Ep 176)

Week 12 is here, and Stephie Smalls brings the heat with fantasy analyst Frank Ammirante breaking down the most important waiver wire adds you need before the playoffs hit. Stephie and Frank dive deep into Michael Wilson, Sean Tucker, Chris Rodriguez, Emmanuel Wilson, Luther Burden, Jayden Higgins, Alec Pierce, and more players rising at exactly the right time. Whether you’re in 10-team leagues or battling in 14-team waivers that look like a wasteland, this episode gives you the clearest adds, drops, and deep-league stashes that still offer real upside.

They also hit quarterback streamers such as Bryce Young, Jacoby Brissett, and Bo Nix, plus tight end options like Jonnu Smith after his multi-TD breakout. Then Stephie and Frank shift to Thursday Night Football: Bills vs Texans, discussing injury fallout (including C.J. Stroud being ruled out), rushing matchups, and prop angles on Josh Allen, Davis Mills, Woody Marks, James Cook, Keon Coleman, Nico Collins, and more.

You'll get the best bets, Over/Unders, longest-rush props, interception angles, and defensive breakdowns — including why Houston’s pass defense is quietly elite and why Buffalo’s run defense continues to be exploitable.

If you need help setting your Week 12 lineups, finding that league-winning stash, or building your TNF card, you’re in the right place.
