Fantasy football: top waiver wire week 13 pickups

4 of 12

November 8, 2015; Santa Clara, CA, USA; San Francisco 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert (2) hands the football off to running back Shaun Draughn (24) during the third quarter against the Atlanta Falcons at Levi /

Shaun Draughn-RB-San Francisco 49ers (35.1%)

Draughn has sole ownership of the 49ers backfield until Carlos Hyde returns which may not happen this season. There has been increasing buzz that Hyde should be shut down, but so far that hasn’t been announced. At least until Hyde is back, Draughn should remain a solid RB2.

In each of the two weeks that Draughn has started for San Francisco, he has totaled 20 touches. He finished with 77 total yards on 12 carries and eight catches in week 11 and followed that up with 86 total yards on 15 carries and five catches against the Cardinals on Sunday.

Draughn hasn’t gotten into the end zone yet since joining the 49ers, but getting a running back from the waiver wire who gets this much work at this point in the season is a very rare opportunity.
