Fantasy Football Week 13 Waiver Wire: Matt Hasselbeck, Scott Chandler Lead Pickups
The fantasy football season is coming down to the wire, so even the smallest decision looms large for owners.
But have no fear. We looked at some of the best waiver wire pickups at each position for Week 13 and listed them below.
Quarterback: Matt Hasselbeck, Indianapolis Colts
Hasselbeck is limited at 40 years old, but he continues to step up for the Colts in relief of injured starter Andrew Luck. Hasselbeck has thrown for at least 200 yards in each of his four starts this season, and he has connected on seven touchdowns. Until Luck returns, Hasselbeck is a strong option for fantasy owners.
Other quarterbacks to add: Brock Osweiler, Alex Smith, Ryan Fitzpatrick
Running Back: David Johnson, Arizona Cardinals
Johnson likely will be the Cardinals’ No. 1 option at running back this week with Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington out with injuries. As a result, fantasy owners are racing to add Johnson from the waiver wire. If he still is available in your league, though, he’s a smart add for a short-term tailback.
Other running backs to add: Spencer Ware, Jay Ajayi
Wide Receiver: Donte Moncrief, Indianapolis Colts
Moncrief hasn’t found the end zone since Week 7, but he still is managing to put up impressive fantasy numbers. He is coming off one of his best fantasy performances of the season thanks to his eight receptions for 114 yards last Sunday in the Colts’ 25-12 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Other receivers to add: Marvin Jones, DeVante Parker
Tight End: Scott Chandler, New England Patriots
Rob Gronkowski’s injury could result in a big week for Chandler in the Patriots’ Week 13 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Chandler had five receptions on 11 targets for 58 yards with one touchdown in the Patriots’ 30-24 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday night, and those numbers could increase this week.
Other tight ends to add: Jacob Tamme, Kyle Rudolph
