Each week around here, we highlight the top potential waiver pickups who remain available in at least 50% of Yahoo fantasy football leagues — and we have an all-time messy bye situation on deck, so you are gonna need to be active on the wire. Six teams are out of the mix in Week 12: the Falcons, Bills, Bengals, Saints, Jets and Jaguars. It’s gonna get ugly out there. Let’s get to work…

Bo Nix, Denver Broncos (48%)
Nix was nearly flawless in the win against Atlanta, going 28-for-33 with 307 passing yards, four touchdowns and various darts:
It was the fifth multi-score performance in the last seven games for Nix and the first 300-yard effort of his career.
