Well we are getting into the middle of the 2023 season with the bye weeks to consider, so time to finetune your roster with our Week 13 Waiver Wire pickups. In this article, we’ll explore the top priority waiver wire additions and some key pickups for various positions.
Whether you need a wide receiver, tight end, running back, or quarterback, there are players available to bolster your fantasy roster. Let’s take a look at some of the recent players increasing in value.
Rules for Selection & Order Priority
For a player to be considered to be added, they have to:
- Have an rostered % of 50% or under on ESPN
- Players below are listed by their roster %, not priority. Know your league settings. If there is a high-priority add, you’ll know.
Jordan Love (GB) 47.9% rostered
Consistently performing as the QB11, Love has proven to be a reliable fantasy asset. Facing the Chiefs in Week 13, he’s set for a matchup that could swing either way, making him an intriguing option.
Matthew Stafford (LAR) 31.1% rostered
Stafford, with all his weapons back, delivered a stellar four-touchdown performance against the Cardinals. While a tough matchup awaits against the Browns in Week 13, Stafford’s upside remains noteworthy.
Others to Consider
- Gardner Minshew (IND) 6.6% rostered
Chuba Hubbard (CAR) 48.5% rostered
Hubbard showcased his efficiency in both rushing and receiving in a standout performance. With five receptions on five targets, he emerges as a reliable option, particularly in PPR formats.
Keaton Mitchell (BAL) 33.6% rostered
Despite a Week 13 bye, Mitchell’s consistent workload in the Ravens’ backfield makes him a worthwhile addition. Not limited to goal-line work, he offers a versatile skill set that could pay dividends in the fantasy playoffs.
Samaje Perine (DEN) 26.0% rostered
Capitalizing on Javonte Williams’ absence, Perine should be on the radar for fantasy managers. Efficient on the ground and finding the end zone, he serves as a valuable handcuff for Javonte owners.
Others to Consider
- Ezekiel Elliott (NE) 36.2% rostered
- Roschon Johnson (CHI) 30.6% rostered
- Jeff Wilson (MIA) 20.4% rostered
Josh Downs (IND) 47.0% rostered
Despite a lukewarm Week 12, Downs continues to command a substantial target share. Facing the Titans in Week 13, who boast one of the most favorable defenses for fantasy wide receivers, Downs is poised for a rebound.
Romeo Doubs/ Jayden Reed (GB) 41.1/ 31.5% rostered
The dynamic duo of Reed and Doubs in Green Bay has consistently found the end zone over the past few weeks. With their ability to demand more targets, either one could be a valuable addition, especially for managers dealing with late-season injuries.
Demario Douglas (NE) 31.8% rostered
Rookie standout Demario Douglas has swiftly become a linchpin in the Patriots’ offensive scheme. Targeted nine times post-bye week, Douglas’s versatility makes him an appealing asset in PPR leagues, offering potential flex value.
Others to Consider
- Curtis Samuel (WAS) 35.3% rostered
- TuTu Atwell (LAR) 24.3% rostered
Pat Freiermuth (PIT) 41.8% rostered
Back in action, Freiermuth’s 11-target, 120-yard performance upon his return makes him a top priority at tight end. With matchups against Arizona and New England, he’s a promising addition to bolster your fantasy lineup.
Isaiah Likely (BAL) 30.7% rostered
A hot commodity in Week 12, Likely involvement in the Ravens’ passing game makes him a compelling tight end option. With a decent showing against the Chargers, he looks to continue his production against the Rams in Week 14.
Tucker Kraft (GB) 0.9% rostered
With Luke Musgrave sidelined, Kraft steps into a leadership role in the Packers’ tight end room. Playing 96% of snaps and finding the end zone, Kraft presents a sneaky cheap option for desperate fantasy managers in need of a tight end start.
