Waiver Wire Options for Fantasy Week 12
2022/06/17
DVR and Al look into whether there are still leagues where Jonathan India and Gabriel Moreno need to be added, and they also gauge the types of leagues where several hitters, including Carson Kelly, Nick Senzel and Adam Duvall, should be rostered. Is it time to add Anthony DeSclafani where he was dropped, and is there a reason to give Caleb Kilian a chance in shallower leagues? DVR and Al also explore some deeper league streamers, like Tyler Wells, Braxton Garrett and Beau Brieske and take stock of four relievers -- Kendall Graveman, Tanner Scott, Tanner Houck and Seranthony Dominguez -- who suddenly have a chance to rack up saves.
