It's win-or-go-home time (or win-and-get-a-better-playoff-seed time) in fantasy football leagues, and if you need streamers from the waiver wire
Darren O'Day Jersey , now's the time to go all-out for pickups. There's no reason to hold back your FAAB bids or high waiver claims, and heading into Week 13, there are several interesting players worth adding, including potential starting RBs Devontae Booker, Frank Gore,and Cam Akers, breakout WRs Michael Pittman Jr., Nelson Agholor, and Breshad Perriman, streamer TE Trey Burton, and sleeper QB Kirk Cousins.Aswe do every week, let'sbreak down the top pickups and project how much of yourFAABbudget you should bid on them. Again, if you have exce s money and are in desperate need at a certain position (especially if you're on the playoff bubble), you should be willing to go over the projected bid amounts.DOMINATE YOUR LEAGUE: ! Week 13 Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire QB pickupsRyan Fitzpatrick(MIA). Fitzpatrick is an obvious waiver pickup this week going against the Bengals. He didnt light it up by any means against the Jets, but he got 19 points in four-point per pa sing touchdown leagues. Thats serviceable. Give him a full week of practice with the first-team offense to prep for a bad defense and hell be fine once again this week. The ceiling may not be there if the Dolphins opt to run a little more, but many fantasy owners will be looking to stream Fitz, especially if they haveTom BradyorTeddy Bridgewateron bye. Proj. FAAB Bid: 7-8%Kirk Cousins(MIN). Hes on a heater right now. He has at least 290 pa sing yards in three straight games with 11 touchdowns and just one interception in his past four outings. The matchup this week against Jacksonville hasDalvin Cooks name written all over it, but so did last weeks game and Cook got a little beat up and Cousins was part of the ma sive comeback win.The Jags have allowed five straight quarterbacks to
Anthony Santander Jersey throw for multiple touchdowns against them. I fully expect Cousins to continue that trend on Sunday. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6-7%WEEK 13 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Week 13Fantasy Football FAAB targets: Waiver wire RB pickupsCam Akers(LAR).It pains me to say this because Ive been aDarrell Hendersontruther all year, but its starting to feel like the tide is shifting in Akers favor. He found the end zone for the second straight game (after yours truly predicted he wouldnt find the end zone at all in 2020) and had nine carries for 84 yards. Its worth mentioning that 61 of those yards came on one carry, so on the other eight carries he averaged fewer than three yards per carry, but it was still far better than what Henderson did. Sean McVay has said he expects more from Akers as the season comes to an end, so hes definitely worth stashing and po sibly worth starting at the flex in deeper leagues. Proj. FAAB Bid: 14-15%Benny Snell(PIT).Hes available in about 75 percent of leagues, and hes the presumed lead back for the Steelers against the Ravens on Wednesday afternoon (which I know doesnt pertain to Week 13s scoring). While its believed that Snell is the lead back for this game, Im not completely sold. I do think theres a chance we see moreAnthony McFarland, but Snell is probably the safer option based on opportunity. You cant use either in Week 12 if they
Dan Straily Jersey re on waivers, but if Conner is forced to mi s Week 13s game against Washington (now scheduled for Monday), then Snell could be a nice addition off waivers. Proj. FAAB Bid: 8-10% (but see how this duo shakes out on Wednesday)Frank Gore(NYJ).Oddly enough, in terms of opportunity the rest of the season it feels like Gore might be our safest option. The ceiling is minimal. However, if hes getting double-digit carries and a few catches per game, then he can return 10-to-13 points in PPR formats, and if he miraculously finds the end zone, then we shouldnt have no quandaries with that. Adam Gase is enamored with Gore, so in deeper leagues, Im not ruling out the agele s wonder. Proj. FAAB Bid: 7-8%Brian Hill(ATL).Just two weeks ago the Saints held the Falcons to just 52 rushing yards, and Hills coming off a pretty weak performance this past Sunday. He only collected 55 rushing yards on 13 carries, but 13 carries are still flex-worthy. Weve seen Hill in smash spots before and knew this was a risk. Hell carry even more risk this week against New Orleans, but the opportunity will still be there. Atlantas 4-2 since firing Dan Quinn so hopefully we see a different offense on Sunday and keep your fingers cro sed thatJulio Jones (hamstring) is active for Atlanta. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6-7%Devontae Booker(LV).Admittedly, Ive been off the Booker Bandwagon, but I have seen his name pop up in previous waiver questions Ive fielded. It wasnt so much the talent I didnt like as much as it was the opportunity.Josh Jacobshas seemingly proven that he cant handle a lions share of the carries, as hes now nursing an ankle injury. Jacobs still has a decent shot at playing next week against the Jets. However, if youre a Jacobs owner, it certainly doesnt hurt to give his handcuff a look on waivers. Proj. FAAB Bid: 6-7%Jordan Wilkins(IND).Nyheim Hineshad
Jonathan Schoop Jersey a much better day and more carries on Sunday than Wilkins did, but Im not writing off Wilkins just yet. Of courser, this all depends on ifJonathan Taylor (COVID) has to mi s this weeks game against Houston, as well. Its a great matchup for both Hines and Wilkins, as the Texans allow 154.7 rushing yards per game (second worst in the league). Hines might still be out there, and if he is then hes the preferred target. But Wilkins still touched the ball nine times last week, so if Taylors inactive, then this is a good spot for Wilkins to get extra work. Proj. FAAB Bid: 5-6%DeAndre Washington (MIA). This iscontingent on whetherMyles Gaskin (knee) andSalvon Ahmed (shoulder) are active this week. Against the Jets last week,Patrick LairdandMatt Breidaboth put the ball on the ground, and after that Washington handled most of the carries. Sure, they mostly came with the game in hand, but ball security is job security. Its a gamble, but the Dolphins have a great matchup this week against one of the worst defenses in the NFL in Cincinnati.Matt Breidais also worth a look, but you may have to pay a little more for him.
