We are past the midway point in the NFL season, and you are probably making a playoff push in your fantasy leagues. Here are the players some of the top outlets recommend picking up to bolster your roster.

The quarterback position is probably thin if you are trying to find a reliable starter, unless Deshaun Watson is available in your league. He is allowed to return to practice this week and will be eligible to return for the Browns in week 13 when they travel to Houston to play the Texans. He could be someone to keep an eye on to help you make a run in the playoffs.
Outlets are high on the Chiefs running backs this week, especially Isiah Pacheco. The rookie running back has emerged as the lead back in Kansas City. Clyde Edwards-Helaire got just four snaps last week, and it seems like he will continue to not be involved much. Jerick McKinnon has carved out a role as a pass catcher, but Pacheco is the guy to target from the Chiefs backfield.
Every outlet mentioned Christian Watson, and it is understandable. He caught three touchdowns against a good Dallas defense in week 10. Aaron Rodgers’ struggles have been well-chronicled this year. With the perceived lack of weapons at receiver and Watson stepping up, Rodgers should continue to look his way often.
Foster Moreau isn’t someone you want to start every week, but he could be a good streaming option. He caught a touchdown last week, and with Darren Waller and Hunter Renfrow on IR, he should have some kind of role in the Raiders offense.
