Two disappointing players in Fantasy football enjoyed breakout Week 11 performances, with Christian Watson catching four passes for 150 yards and Anthony Richardson scoring three total touchdowns. Both are worth considering when you build your waiver wire queues for Week 12.
Watson's big game seems the least repeatable, as he's not going to average close to 30 yards per reception very often. You could also look to him getting only four targets as a reason not to get too excited. But that was in a game where Jordan Love threw 17 passes, and that's obviously not going to be the norm. There's also a massive factor that boosts Watson's upside, which we'll get into below while sharing how much we're bidding to land him on the Week 12 waiver wire.
Then you have Richardson, who had a huge game in his season debut but has done virtually nothing since. Rolling up a big game against the Jets defense looks less impressive by the week, but what's notable is that Richardson used his legs near the goal line to generate two rushing touchdowns. If he's more of a factor on the ground in those scenarios moving forward, his ceiling in any given week rises. It should go without saying, but if he can also complete 20 of 30 passes consistently, it's going to be a massive positive sign for his ability to be a Fantasy factor down the stretch, and we'll discuss which type of teams should be targeting the Colts quarterback below.
