Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13
Luck Week 13. Or maybe it’s unlucky, depending on how your season has developed. However, if you’re reading a fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13 article, you’re probably in contention. The fantasy postseason is just two weeks away, and picking up the right players for the stretch drive is paramount.
Here are FullTime‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13 players to target.
Week 13 Byes: Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minnesota, New York Giants
FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget
Pat Freiermuth (TE) Pittsburgh Steelers (33% FAAB) – The best way to explain Pittsburgh’s offensive woes is to blame Canada. In their first game after dismissing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the Steelers put up a season-high 421 yards off offense. The main benefactor was Freiermuth, who was playing his first game since Week 4. Muth snagged 9-of-11 targets for a career-high 120 yards. While we can’t expect those numbers again, Freiermuth immediately returns to weekly TE1 status. And the timing couldn’t be better. If he’s somehow available on your fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13, don’t be outbid for a potential difference-maker.
Jayden Reed (WR) Green Bay Packers (15% FAAB) – Reed has been included in this piece multiple times. However…

Thursday Football Preview: Week 12
Happy Thanksgiving! Week 12 is always a special holiday slate. And 2023 is no different. We’ve got a full day’s worth of NFL and fantasy football action with three games. Additionally, the first Black Friday game is one day away. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Football Preview: Week 12 previews all three Thanksgiving games from a fantasy, DFS, and sports betting perspective.
Green Bay at Detroit
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Green Bay Packers | 22 | 19 | 21 | 13 | 20 |
| Detroit Lions | 4 | 4 | 5 | 4 | 6 |
Open: DET -7.5, 44.5
Current: DET -8, 47
As always, the Detroit Lions kick off the holiday festivities. However, these aren’t the hapless Lions of years past. Dan Campbell’s squad has the second-best record in football and boasts a balanced, top-5 offense.
QB Jared Goff plays his best football at home and will be amped to rebound off of a subpar Week 11 showing. Meanwhile, Detroit has a pair of elite fantasy running backs primed to feast off of Green Bay’s 28th-ranked run defense.
The matchup isn’t as great for the pass catchers. However, Goff does have 10 TD strikes in six career games against the Packers. WR Amon-Ra St. Brown has scored a touchdown or exceeded 100 receiving yards in all nine games this season. However, Green Bay allows the fourth-fewest fantasy points to wideouts, so it may take double-digit targets for that streak to continue.
For the Packers, Jordan Love is coming off of his two best games. Facing a Lions’ secondary that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to the position puts Love in a favorable spot to deliver another week of high-end QB2 numbers.
However, things look lousy for the ground game. Aaron Jones won’t play, leaving the backfield to A.J. Dillon. Dillon has dominated the backfield snaps and touches when Jones has been sidelined. But he’s been ineffective in that role, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry and just one total reception in the three games Jones has missed.
Detroit is also allowing the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson topped double-digit fantasy points against this secondary back in Week 4. Also, Jayden Reed has developed into a solid WR3/4 option who went 3/55/0 in that game.
TE Luke Musgrave is injured and will be replaced by a committee led by Tucker Kraft. The rookie is a cheap DFS option, only.
Green Bay is 2-5 straight up and against the number since opening the season 2-1. They’ve struggled on the road, losing four straight after winning in Chicago to open the 2023 campaign. And it’s been particularly tough against Detroit, who has covered the spread in 11 of the last 13 matchups with Green Bay.
Detroit has won four of their last five against Green Bay. Also, the Lions have covered in five straight Ford Field matchups hosting the Packers. Detroit beat Green Bay by 14 back in Week 4, but I’m not sure it will be that easy in the rematch. The UNDER has hit in five of Green Bay’s last…
How will Thursday’s games go?

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 12
Traditionally, Week 12 marks Thanksgiving week, a special week for fantasy football. Also, it is the trade deadline for many weeks. In addition, the 2023 campaign offers up the first-ever Black Friday game. With four early games, the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 12 is among the most important of the entire season.
Here are the top players to target this holiday week. And Happy Thanksgiving, from FullTime Fantasy.
Week 12 Byes: None
FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget
Zach Charbonnet (RB) Seattle Seahawks (25% FAAB) – Most likely, Charbonnet is already rostered in your league. However, if available, the rookie rusher offers weekly RB1/2 value as long as Ken Walker (oblique) is sidelined. Over the last month, Charbonnet was already eating into Walker’s role. Now, he has the chance to take command of the backfield and fantasy managers will benefit.
Ty Chandler (RB) Minnesota Vikings (17% FAAB) – In Minnesota’s new committee backfield, Alexander Mattison took a 2-to-1 lead in snap share. However, Chandler was more effective with his opportunities. The rookie showed burst and corralled all four of his targets. This could easily develop into a 50/50 committee backfield and Chandler looked like the better player.
Isaiah Likely (TE) Baltimore Ravens…

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 11
We need redemption after last week’s clunker. Fortunately, this week’s Thursday tilt featured two contenders from the tough AFC North. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 11 breaks down the fantasy and sports betting prospects for the Bengals versus Ravens slugfest.
The road through the AFC playoffs currently goes through Baltimore. John Harbaugh’s Ravens boast an AFC-best 7-3 mark and will be amped to right the ship after a last-second loss to Cleveland in Week 10. Baltimore’s +113 point differential is the best in the league and the club is preparing for this game as if it were a postseason contest.
Meanwhile, the Bengals are also coming off of an emotional home loss to a Texans team that Baltimore easily handled in Week 1. The Bengals got off to a rough start thanks to Joe Burrow’s calf injury. But Zac Taylor’s had won four straight before Week 10. One of Cincinnati’s losses came to Baltimore, so the Bengals will be extra motivated to even the score.
Baltimore opened as a slight favorite. However, the line has shifted to the Bengals currently listed as 3.5-point underdogs. And the opening total of the game was 43.5.
Matchup
| TEAM | OFFENSE | PASS | RUSH | YDS/PLAY | POINTS |
| Cincinnati Bengals | 27 | 16 | 32 | 23 | 20 |
| Baltimore Ravens | 4 | 20 | 1 | 5 | 5 |
It is quite unusual to see the Bengals sporting a bottom-tier offense. But most of those struggles can be attributed to Joe Burrow’s preseason calf strain. The Bengals scored one of zero touchdowns in three of their first four games- the main culprit in that 1-3 start.
However, things have drastically turned around since that 34-20 drubbing of the Cardinals. Burrow has been the fantasy QB4 over the last four games. Also, the running game has struggled all season. Cincinnati is running for an NFL-worst 74.8 yards per game. Facing the NFL’s top run defense, don’t expect those numbers to improve on Thursday.
While the Ravens rank fourth in the NFL in offense, their performance has fallen flat. Todd Monken’s high-octane passing attack hasn’t come to fruition. Instead, Baltimore is back to being an old-school Ravens’ offense that leads the league in rushing.
Also, Baltimore’s defense ranks fourth overall while leading the league in fewest points allowed. The Ravens have won four of their last five when hosting the Bengals. Another victory would seriously hamper Cincinnati’s postseason hopes.
Finally, weather shouldn’t be a factor. Gametime temperatures are projected to be 52 degrees with less than a 10% chance of showers.
