We finally get all the chips back this week, and a couple of extras. Welcome back into the fold, Greg Olsen, but owners will also have to find alternatives for Robert Woods, as he’s set to miss several weeks with a shoulder injury. While you’re scouting your waiver wire for replacements, be sure to check on the status of Samaje Perine at the same time. The Redskins running back is in for some serious work after Chris Thompson’s injury last week, and since he’s still available in over 70% of leagues, he’s an easy hook up. Week 12 sees some fairly uneven matchups, but hey, that spells good news (especially if you’re in the A.J. Green market). Here’s a look:
