Best Waiver Wire Pickups for Week 13 and Championship!

Week 13 Waiver wire and playoff pick suggestions

As the fantasy football playoffs approach, it’s time to gear up and make the crucial moves that can lead you to championship glory. The Fantasy Football Counselor is here with the top waiver wire pickups for Week 13 and beyond. These players can provide the spark your team needs during this critical phase. Let’s dive into the Counselor’s picks to dominate your league.

Quarterbacks to Target

Will Levis

Will Levis has shown flashes of brilliance and could be a sneaky start for Week 13. His ability to push the ball downfield makes him a viable option, especially for managers in need of QB help.

Caleb Williams

While Caleb Williams is primarily a dynasty stash, he’s worth a speculative add in redraft leagues if your playoff position is secure. His upside could explode in favorable matchups. He finished as the top 4 QB in fantasy last week!

Running Backs to Grab

Jeremy McNichols

After a surprising performance, Jeremy McNichols is emerging as a late-season asset. He could play a critical role in your playoff run, particularly in PPR formats. Ekeler could be in concussion protocol and Robinson is dealing with a ankle issue.

Ameer Abdullah

Ameer Abdullah’s involvement in the passing game makes him a solid bench stash for the playoffs. He’s especially valuable in deeper leagues. Zamir and Mattison are banged up and useless.

Roschon Johnson

Roschon Johnson continues to carve out a role in his backfield. With his versatility, he’s a great handcuff with upside during the playoffs.

Jaylen Warren

Jaylen Warren has shown consistency and explosiveness in recent weeks. He’s a must-add for any manager looking for a high-ceiling RB option. He saq 11 attempts last week and got a TD!

Justice Hill

Justice Hill offers sneaky upside as part of a dynamic rushing attack. His involvement in critical situations could pay off during the playoffs. He is viable in PPR formats!

Wide Receivers to Target

Keon Coleman

Keon Coleman is emerging as a must-watch playmaker. His potential for big plays makes him a high-upside waiver wire add. If he is back he can offer some upside.

DeVaughn Vele

DeVaughn Vele has been trending up and could deliver solid performances in deeper leagues. He’s worth a speculative add for those in need of WR help.

Adam Thielen/Legette

If Adam Thielen or Legette is still available, grab them immediately. Their targets and reliability make them key assets for your playoff push.

Jerry Jeudy

Jerry Jeudy is still available in some leagues and could be the boost your team needs. Don’t overlook his potential for a late-season resurgence. 6 targets and 6 receptions last week! Not bad at all!

Nick Westbrook

Nick Westbrook is a deep-league sleeper who could offer consistent targets. He’s worth considering if you’re looking to round out your receiving corps.

Tight Ends to Add

Noah Gray

Noah Gray is quietly becoming a reliable option in the red zone. If you’re streaming tight ends, he’s a great option for Week 13. Doubt he could get another 2 TDs this week, but you never know!

Taysom Hill

Taysom Hill remains a fantasy wildcard with his unique versatility. If he’s available, he’s a high-upside option for managers looking to roll the dice.

Jake Ferguson

Jake Ferguson continues to be a target machine, making him a solid option for managers needing consistency at tight end. If he plays he should be startable.

Zach Ertz

If Zach Ertz is still on your waiver wire, he’s a must-add. His veteran presence and red zone usage make him a valuable asset.

Defenses to Stream

Washington Commanders (WSH)

The Commanders face a favorable Week 13 matchup, making them a top streaming option.

Kansas City Chiefs (KC)

The Chiefs’ defense has been stepping up in recent weeks and could deliver a strong playoff performance.

Indianapolis Colts (IND)

The Colts’ defense is often overlooked but has the potential to shine in favorable matchups.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (BUCS)

The Bucs’ defense has a knack for making big plays and is a great option to consider.

Denver Broncos (DEN)

The Broncos’ defense has been improving steadily and could be a sneaky play for Week 13.
