There are just two more games left in the majority of fantasy football seasons. Whether you’re gearing up for an already locked-up spot or trying to make a push to grab a spot, getting a valuable waiver right now could be a game-changer. Heading into week 12, these are guys owned in less than 50 percent of leagues (ESPN) that could give your squad a boost this week and moving forward.

Mallett isn’t going to light the world on fire it seems, but he’s got talent around him to help him succeed and quarterback isn’t exactly a great place right now outside of the guys at the very top. If you’re desperate, he’s a guy to look at.

Britt is often looked upon as unfulfilled talent in this league, largely due to off-the-field issues and injuries. However, he’s shown flashes multiple times this season and had the most targets of any pass catcher with Shaun Hill getting the start in Week 11. That could be a sign of things to come and he’s certainly worth the flyer.

The Cowboys defense was supposed to be a wreck of massive proportions this season, but has actually been solid under Rod Marinelli. With their D widely available coming off of the bye, they’re a good play this week against the Giants as Eli seems to be handing out turnovers like the people at lotion kiosks in the mall.

7. Kenny Stills

Stills’ Week 11 numbers weren’t much to speak of even as he found the endzone, but he’s shown before he can be a valuable big-reward receiver. With Brandin Cooks headed for IR, Stills is definitely worth an add.

6. Drew Stanton

Stanton is hardly an elite quarterback, but he’s clearly in the right situation under Bruce Arians with the Cards. He could very well prove to be a viable option at the position for the remainder of the season.

5. John Brown

Brown had just six fantasy points in standard leagues for Week 11, but it’s hard not to like his prospects. The young receiver is explosive and, in Arians’ offense, could very well make big things happen going forward.

With Dwayne Allen possibly out for a bit, Fleener is the top option at tight end and he’s been getting consistent work as of late. Though it’s still somewhat of a gamble, he has upside that could eventually have him as a must-start tight end.

3. Jordan Matthews

It’s been two games with Mark Sanchez at quarterback and two big games for the rookie Matthews for Philly. Matthews has 12 catches for 245 yards to go along with three scores over the past two weeks. In this offense, you have to like the prospect of Matthews over the remaining six weeks in the season.

2. Josh McCown

Don’t be fooled by thinking McCown is Aaron Rodgers or anything, but it seems he’s indeed realized that Mike Evans is really good and has been feeding him the ball. If you need a flyer at QB, he has two good matchups leading into the postseason, though it does get uglier over the last four games.

1. Jonas Gray

Gray is the obvious candidate here after his four-touchdown performance on Sunday night. That’s obviously not the standard to set going forward, but you’d have to believe he showed enough against the Colts to have the No.1 rusher duties on lock.
