Thanksgiving is now behind us. However, the fantasy playoffs are now just a week or two away. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 13 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know for Thursday’s AFC East grudge match.

In a rare coincidence, both of these teams played last Thursday. Buffalo beat Detroit in their second consecutive game at Ford Field. Meanwhile, the Patriots lost in Minnesota in last week’s TNF game.

This is the first of two meetings between these two AFC East contenders. The Bills head into Foxborough as 4-point favorites. And, the over/under sits at 43.5 points.

The fantasy football playoffs are rapidly approaching. Securing late-season wins is crucial to enhancing your team’s chances of qualifying. Our Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13 will identify which low-rostered players can help you this week and beyond.

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13 free agents to target with FAAB recommendations. Also, keep in mind that a whopping six teams will be on bye next week. Be proactive.

Week 13 byes: Arizona, Carolina

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Gus Edwards (RB) Baltimore Ravens (20% FAAB) – Returning to the lineup, Edwards played double the snaps of Kenyan Drake and dwarfed all other Baltimore backs in touches. In 36 snaps, Edwards logged 16 carries, one target, and got the Ravens’ touchdown plunge. Although he won’t catch many balls and will lose some TD runs to Lamar Jackson, Edwards is the clear starter. At least he is until J.K. Dobbins (12% FAAB) returns. Rostered in just 40% of ESPN leagues, Edwards should be the top waiver priority for playoff contenders.

Treylon Burks (WR) Tennessee Titans (10%) – Rostered in under 40% of ESPN leagues, Burks should be the top priority for WR-needy fantasy rosters. On Sunday, Burks caught four balls for 70 yards and housed his first career TD. Granted, it was a fumble recovery, but Burks has made an impact in consecutive weeks. Moving forward, Burks should be considered a weekly WR3 with WR2 upside. The first rounder is worth a sizable FAAB bid.

Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 12

It is Week 12 and that means a day filled with food, family, and fantasy football. This terrific Thursday gets capped off by an interesting battle between two playoff contenders. The FullTime Fantasy Thursday Night Football Preview: Week 12 breaks down the fantasy and betting trends you need to know.

Minnesota hit rock bottom last week by getting blown out at home. The Vikings hope they can rebound on a short rest week. But, things won’t be easy against a New England squad that is trending up.

The 8-2 Vikings are mere 2.5-point home favorites. This tells us that Vegas thinks the Patriots are the better team on a neutral field. With an over/under of just 42.5, points should be at a premium in this Thursday’s capper.

TEAM OFFENSE PASS RUSH YDS/PLAY POINTS
New England Patriots 26 24  17 19 20

We’ve reached Week 12. The playoffs are getting close and Thursday includes a day filled with food, friends, and football. A great way to kick off this wonderful holiday week is by boosting your roster via the Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 12.

Here are the top fantasy-relevant, low-rostered Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 12 free agents to target with FAAB recommendations.

Week 12 byes: NONE

FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget

 

Latavius Murray (RB) Denver Broncos (33% FAAB) – What has been a difficult Denver backfield to decode just got much clearer. The struggling Broncos waived Melvin Gordon and Chase Edmonds could miss the rest of the fantasy season. That makes Murray, who just got 21 touches, Denver’s workhorse moving forward. Although the Denver offense leaves a lot to be desired, Murray has looked solid while sharing time. Also, according to FullTime’s Strength of Schedule Tool, the Broncos have a top-10 easiest remaining schedule for running backs.

Samaje Perine (RB) Cincinnati Bengals (20% FAAB) – Placing a strong bid on Perine is a risk/reward venture. First, he’s been productive when given opportunities, especially in Week 11. Secondly, Joe Mixon exited Sunday’s game and is in concussion protocol. However, if Mixon is cleared to return this week, Perine would defer back to his usual 5-7 touch role. But, if Mixon remains out, Perine offers solid weekly RB2 value, Thus, until word drops, Perine is worth a healthy bid to acquire.
