Nick Mullens (QB, SF) - Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in Tw0-QB Leagues

OWNED IN: 7% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens is still pretty green, as we saw in Week 10 against the Giants, but just about anyone is worthy of consideration against Tampa Bay’s defense. They have allowed at least 20 points in all games except one and have allowed at least 228 passing yards in all but two games. Tampa Bay has also given up the most passing touchdowns in the league and the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks.

It would be tough to expect a repeat of Mullens' debut, the three-touchdown performance against Oakland in Week 9, but he is widely available and going against perhaps the worst defense in football. In deep leagues, he’ll do as a one-week fill-in. After this game, things get rough for Mullens. He faces Seattle, Denver, Seattle, and Chicago to finish the season. This is probably the last time Mullens will be a viable streamer in one-quarterback leagues.
