To help you in your search on the waiver wire, you can check out my waiver wire post each Tuesday morning here on FanSided.com. Each week, I focus on the top ten options who are available in more than half of ESPN leagues. As always, this season has been full of players who have stepped up off the waiver wire and contributed to the success of their team. The last few weeks players like Robert Kelley, Thomas Rawls, Sammy Watkins, Colin Kaepernick, and DeVante Parker have emerged from my pickups list as almost must-play options moving forward. Heading into Week 13, there are still good options available in many leagues.

There is never a reason to leave your team abandoned or start a player you don’t want to when there are so many solid options to consider. If there is someone available in your league who you think makes a better option than the listed top ten, you can ask my opinion on Twitter since the players listed don’t include anyone available in less than 50% of ESPN standard leagues.

Each week, I make sure to include players at each of the main fantasy football positions: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, and team defense. The players are listed in the general order that I would try to add them, but be sure to take into account your league’s specific roster requirements and your individual team’s strength and weaknesses. I’ve included each player’s ownership percentage as of Tuesday morning at the top of their page. If you’re in deeper leagues or are looking for more options, check out the final slide of this post where I’ve listed some extra other options from the waiver wire week 12.

If you have any specific questions about your team or other players who may be available, you are welcome to drop them in the comments section at the bottom of the page or give me a shout out on Twitter. You can keep up with all our coverage by following  @FansidedFantasy on Twitter and by dropping a bookmark on our fantasy football hub.

After a quick review of those ground rules, lets’ get rolling with my top pickups from the waiver wire Week 13 starting with a QB streamer that has been excellent the last few weeks.
