Top 10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups For Week 13

Hawkins saw fewer targets on Sunday in Josh Gordon's return, but finished with five catches for 93 yards. It was his third-best yardage game of the year. The Browns will face a solid Bills defense that's allowing 23.5 fantasy points per game to opposing receivers and the fourth-fewest receiving yards this year. Gordon may get doubled this week, which could leave Hawkins open. Owned in under 50 percent of leagues, he could be a decent flex option.

With Brandin Cooks out, Stills was targeted nine times last night with a season-high eight grabs for 98 yards. The Saints' struggles will likely require Drew Brees to air it out in a crucial game this week against the Steelers, who have struggled of late, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to receivers and the most yards to receivers over the last five weeks. Owned in under 20 percent of leagues, Stills could be a great pickup.

Murray gashed the Chiefs for 112 yards and two scores on just four carries last Thursday before exiting in the first half with a concussion. Assuming Murray can play this week, he'll be Oakland's primary back. He will face another good run defense in the Rams this week, but after scoring the first two touchdowns that the Chiefs had allowed all year to RBs, he could easily gash St. Louis. Owned in under 12 percent of leagues, he's a great pickup.

Matthews has arguably been Mark Sanchez's favorite target since Nick Foles got injured. Matthews has been a top-10 fantasy receiver over the last four weeks. The Eagles have a pivotal Thanksgiving Day game against the Cowboys, who have a top-15 defense against opposing receivers. Owned in about 65 percent of leagues, Matthews could be a decent WR2 or flex option.

It's not every day that a defense will rank ahead of a skill position player, but that's the case this week. The Texans will host the Titans, who have actually played well offensively the last two games, but are still allowing over five fantasy points per game to defenses this year. They have allowed 30 sacks and 11 interceptions. Houston is a top-10 defense and is tied for the league lead, thanks to J.J. Watt, with four touchdowns.

Tannehill has been a top-10 QB over the last five weeks and just had one of his best games (26 fantasy points) against a good Broncos secondary in Denver. The Dolphins will play the woeful Jets next Monday, whose secondary is allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to QBs, the most passing touchdowns, and has the fewest interceptions. Tannehill is owned in under 50 percent of leagues, but should be starting in every league this week.

Even if Jonas Gray wasn't late to practice last week, Blount may have still had more carries than the 200-yard, four-score man from Week 12. After 78 yards and two scores, Blount will likely be the preferred back in New England going forward, and will see a big workload this Sunday in what might be the game of the year in Green Bay against the Packers. Owned in just 20 percent of leagues, Blount is a low-risk, high-reward pickup for this week.

The Lions have really missed a healthy Reggie Bush this season, and have missed his presence over the last two games. The Lions are one of six teams without a rushing touchdown over the last three games. Bush is expected to play on Thursday against the Bears and will likely be used in a plethora of ways since he is clearly Detroit's most versatile back. Owned in just under 60 percent of leagues, expect a big game if he's available.

Sanchez should be owned in just about every league at this point in the season. He has thrown for more than 300 yards in three straight games while throwing four interceptions, so he hasn't really played great. The Cowboys are allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing QBs over the last three weeks. With Philly's explosive offense, Sanchez should throw for 300 yards and two scores rather easily on Thursday.

Manning bounced back from his five-interception debacle two weeks ago on Sundays against the Cowboys. The 338 yards was his second-best total of the year. Manning, Odell Beckham Jr, and the Giants' offense have another favorable matchup this week against Jacksonville. The Jags are giving up well over 20 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs, and are one of six teams to have allowed over 3,000 passing yards. Manning could be a top-eight QB.
