Fantasy Football: Week 13

Fantasy Football: Week 13

Playoffs start soon, add our predictions to your lineup if you’re pushing for the playoffs or a high seed.

 

Waiver Wire

QB: Josh McCown (31% owned vs KC)

Story continues below advertisement

The vet McCown has proven to be a trusty option throughout his career. He should easily get the job done against the Chiefs this week.

RB: Peyton Barber (1% owned @GB)

Doug Martin is unlikely to play, and Barber played great when he was in.

WR: Marquise Goodwin (15% owned @CHI)

Goodwin is already proving to be more of a threat, now he has Jimmy Garoppolo under center, who threw a touchdown in his first few plays as a 49er.

TE: Ricky Seals-Jones (15% owned vs LAR)

The new tight end sensation in Arizona doesn’t have a super favorable matchup this week against the Rams. However, he is getting lots of targets due to the quarterback situation.

 

Breakouts

QB: Jared Goff (@ARI)

Goff has topped 300 yards in three of the last four games, and faces the third worst defense this week.

QB: Philip Rivers (vs CLE)

Rivers has looked good as the Chargers caught fire, and faces the BROWNS this week.

RB: Jordan Howard (vs SF)

Howard has been pretty inconsistent this year, but he’ll turn on the jets this week and run all over the pathetic 49ers D.

RB: Rex Burkhead (@BUF)

Burkhead is the hot hand in New England right now, trust in him to continue his upward trajectory against the Bills.

WR: Devin Funchess (@NO)

Funchess is just about it when it comes to the Panthers receiving corps. He’ll continue to look good in Kelvin Benjamin’s absence.

WR: DeAndre Hopkins (@TEN)

Hopkins hasn’t missed a step without his star QB, expect more big contributions.

TE: Delanie Walker (vs HOU)

Walker will be a good start this week, faces a depleted Texans D.

 

Busts

QB: Matthew Stafford (@BAL)

Everything is looking down for Stafford this week.

RB: Tevin Coleman (vs MIN)

Coleman is no longer the starter and facing a top defense.

WR: Dez Bryant (vs WAS)

The Cowboys offense is a joke without Zeke, don’t look for Dez to get past Josh Norman.

TE: Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Seferian-Jenkins is inconsistent enough, the Chiefs top ten tight end defense shouldn’t allow much.

 

Good luck in week 13!
