We’re heading in to week 13 of the NFL season, and if you’re preparing for the playoffs in fantasy football you’re going to need to be on top of the waiver wire. Here is who top outlets recommend picking up this week:
Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | |
Sporting News | Marcus Mariota, Kenny Pickett | JaMycal Hasty, Zonovan Knight, Jordan Mason, Benny Snell, Kyren Williams | Zay Jones, Treylon Burks, Jameson Williams, Van Jefferson, DeAndre Carter | Robert Tonyan, Tyler Conklin |
Pro Football Network | None | Zonovan Knight, JaMycal Hasty | Treylon Burks, DeAndre Carter, Zay Jones, Nico Collins, Kendall Hinton | Foster Moreau |
Clutch Points | Mike White | Ty Johnson, JaMychal Hasty, Zonovan Knight | Jameson Williams, David Bell, Zay Jones, Elijah Moore, Treylon Burks | Tyler Conklin |
FantasySP | Mike White, Jimmy Garoppolo | JaMycal Hasty, Benny Snell, Karen Williams, Jaylen Warren, Jordan Mason | Zay Jones, Russell Gage, Isaiah McKenzie | Noah Fant, Hayden Hurst |
theScore | Mike White, Jared Goff | Ty Davis-Price, Jordan Mason, Tevin Coleman, JaMycal Hasty, Zonovan Knight | Zay Jones, Nico Collins, Kadarius Toney, Michael Gallup, Darius Slayton | Evan Engram, Greg Dulcich, Juwan Johnson |
At the quarterback position, there is no surprise that Mike White is the most popular name. He has taken over the starting job for Zach Wilson and had a great game against the Bears last week. He has plenty of weapons to work with. You could catch lightning in a bottle for the rest of the season.
JaMycal Hasty was mentioned by all of the outlets. He saw an increased role in the offense a week ago with Travis Etienne Jr. dealing with an injury. Etienne could play this week against the Lions, but even if he does, he might have a reduced role. With James Robinson no longer on the team, Hasty should see opportunities.
Another Jaguar is popular this week, and it’s Zay Jones. He had a big game last week with 145 yards. He was targeted 14 times, and has become one of Trevor Lawrence’s favorite targets. With the Jaguars facing a weak pass defense in the Lions, it’s not a surprise that Jones is one of the top pickups this week.
The Jets have plenty of weapons, including Garrett Wilson and Elijah Moore. Tyler Conklin is on that list as well. He has been on this list multiple times this season, and he makes a return as White takes over at quarterback. Outlets believe all of the Jets weapons will benefit from the change, and Conklin is one of them.
