BEST FANTASY PICKUPS: Week 13 waiver wire guide
Fantasy QBs on Week 13 Bye
No NFL teams have a bye week in Week 13.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhich QB injuries should I monitor for fantasy Week 13?
Joe Burrow is back! The Bengals activated Joe Cool from injured reserve. He's worth a low-end QB1 fantasy lineup spot against the Ravens, especially with Ja'Marr Chase himself returning (from suspension).
Baker Mayfield (shoulder), Daniel Jones (fractured fibula), and Aaron Rodgers (wrist in pieces) are all expected to play despite what sound like painful injuries.
Who are the best Week 13 fantasy QBs?
The middle tier of your typical starting fantasy quarterbacks are dealing with tough statistical matchups this week. (More on this below.)
If you roster the likes of Lamar Jackson (vs. Bengals), Jalen Hurts (vs. Bears), Drake Maye (vs. Giants), Josh Allen (vs. Steelers), and Patrick Mahomes (at Cowboys), take a breath. You'll be OK.
Which fantasy QB sleepers should I stream for Week 13?
Breaking through the barrier for a Week 13 quarterback sleeper will be tough, given that no typical every-week name is on vacation.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHowever, more pertinently for superflex and 2-QB leagues, the Browns' Shedeur Sanders, assuming he gets the nod over Dillon Gabriel, should throw often against a 49ers defense that ranks among the friendliest defenses for fantasy points.
Tyler Shough also gets a friendly draw against the Dolphins.

Which quarterbacks rank as fantasy Week 13 busts?
Fantasy players can be more discerning with their QB plays, given the ample choices.
Dak Prescott versus the Chiefs looks like a weak play, though garbage time may against buoy his numbers.
AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBe careful with Daniel Jones against the tough Texans defense that humbled Josh Allen on Thursday Night Football.
