With Sunday's deadline for waiver wire moves looming, many of us are scrambling to find that last-minute boost to our fantasy football teams. We've identified four sleepers who may still be flying under the radar: Christian Watson, Sean Tucker, Bhayshul Tuten, and Luther Burden.
First off, Christian Watson has been on a tear since returning from injury, averaging 11.8 points per game (PPG) in PPR scoring. With two games featuring at least 12.5 PPG, Watson's deep threat abilities are becoming increasingly valuable to the Green Bay Packers. The team's need for a playmaker after Tucker Kraft's season-ending injury makes Watson an attractive waiver wire pickup.
On the other side of the spectrum, Sean Tucker is already being heavily picked up in most leagues due to his impressive performance last week, racking up 34 points and 106 yards on 19 carries. If Bucky Irving is ruled out for Week 12, Tucker's role as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' top running back could become more prominent.
However, there's another player who might be worth considering: Bhayshul Tuten. With Travis Etienne facing injury concerns in Week 12 and 13, Tuten is poised to step up and become the Jaguars' lead running back. Although he was limited in practice earlier this week, Tuten's explosive playing style and recent increase in carries make him an intriguing waiver wire target.
Lastly, rookie Luther Burden has shown flashes of promise despite being a relatively low-owned player (6.9% rostered). His increased targets last week were encouraging, and if he can carve out a role in the Chicago Bears' offense, Burden could become a valuable fantasy asset.
As with any waiver wire pickup, upside is essential, and these four players offer that – albeit with varying degrees of risk. With Sunday's deadline fast approaching, now is the time to take a chance on one (or more) of these sleepers to boost your fantasy football team.

his injury return was insane and 11.8 PPG is crazy for PPR scoring! 
what if he keeps that form up and the Packers get some wins? That would be a great boost to fantasy owners 
I had this friend in college who was totally obsessed with fantasy football... like, every week he'd be watching games just to see who's gonna bust out and score big 
. Anyway, I remember him saying that sometimes you gotta take a chance on someone who's not getting a lot of love... it's all about the upside 
. He once told me that it was like investing in a startup – you gotta roll the dice and hope for the best 
! Now, I'm not saying I'm gonna start playing fantasy football again (although I did have a pretty sweet team back in the day 
), but I do think these guys could be worth a shot. Who knows, maybe one of them will become your next big winner 
... or bust 
!
And Sean Tucker's already getting a lot of love with his 34-point game last week... 43% of teams have picked him up this season so far 
. Bhayshul Tuten's waiver wire potential is looking more and more promising, especially if Travis Etienne goes down for Week 12 
. And Luther Burden's targets are going up, baby! 
His rostered percentage is still just 6.9%, which is a steal considering his upside. What's your waiver wire strategy this week? 
and luther burden is just a nice little bonus, not gonna change the world but hey, those extra points count, right? 
maybe hes the sleeper pick? Luther Burden seems like a nice bye week filler, not sure if he's gonna be consistent tho 
. Still got faith in Sean Tucker, though! He's been tearing it up, but can he keep that up?
. Christian Watson has definitely been on fire since coming back from injury and his production could only get better. But, can he keep it up? Sean Tucker's hype train is well-deserved after that 34-point explosion last week, but I still think Bucky Irving's return will dilute some of the attention. Bhayshul Tuten's upside is huge if Travis Etienne stays out, and Luther Burden might just surprise us all 
️
. But let's not sleep on Sean Tucker either - 34 points last week? That's crazy talk! 
. Do any of you guys think one of these sleepers will actually pan out? 
! The sun was shining, waves were crashing, and I finally got to try out that new food truck I've been hearing about 
. Their chicken sandwiches are TO DIE FOR 
, trust me when I say you need to check them out if you're ever in the area. Anyway, back to fantasy football... I'm not sure I agree with all these sleeper picks though, but hey, if Christian Watson is on fire, he's definitely worth a pickup 
!
also sean tucker is getting picked up fast 
but bhayshul tuten could be the dark horse here 
if travis etienne is out he might step up and become the jags' lead rb
