All 32 teams are back in the pool in Week 13, so lineup-setting shouldn’t be too painful in the days ahead. Still, we can’t afford to take a break from the waiver wire. Each week around here, we highlight the top potential waiver pickups who remain available in at least 50% of Yahoo fantasy football leagues. Add as needed. It’s winning time, people.
Quarterbacks
Russell Wilson, Pittsburgh Steelers (37% rostered)
Recommended FAB offer (assuming $100 budget): $7
Wilson passed for 270 yards and one score in a losing effort in that delightful snow globe game on Thursday night. Ideally, we wouldn’t be seeing quite so many snaps and carries for Justin Fields, but it’s obviously a smart and proper use of a talented player. Fields’ usage is hardly a deal-breaker for Russ.
On Sunday, Wilson gets a date with a Bengals defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Cincinnati has given up 19 passing touchdowns and 225.6 passing yards per game. If you’re simply looking for a streaming option with a reasonably high floor, Wilson is your guy.
Additional QB options:
Cooper Rush was cooking on Sunday, in his way. He tossed a pair of TDs against Washington in an all-time weird win, finishing with 247 yards on his 32 attempts. Rush has now thrown for 601 yards over the past two weeks and he has a series of friendly matchups ahead: NYG, CIN, at CAR, TB.
Drake Maye certainly didn’t play his cleanest game in Sunday’s loss (22-for-37, 4 sacks, INT); his team didn’t get on the scoreboard against Miami until the fourth quarter, trailing by 31. However, Maye’s dual-threat ability is well-established, and he’s been a steady-if-unspectacular fantasy contributor. He’s headed into a matchup with Indy, a defense allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to QBs.
Derek Carr had produced consecutive games with 200-plus passing yards and multiple touchdowns ahead of his bye, and his team’s schedule down the stretch is full of opportunities…
