Tyreek Hill-WR-Kansas City Chiefs (26.5%)

The Chiefs didn’t have Jeremy Maclin, so once again they turned to multi-threat Tyreek Hill. The speedy playmaker delivered, and as a result he’s one of the top names to know on the waiver wire week 13.

Hill caught nine of the ten short passes that Alex Smith threw his way. He took one for a three-yard touchdown at the end of the fourth quarter which was his third touchdown of the game. One of his touchdowns was an 86-yard kickoff return after a safety and the other came on a three-yard rush attempt.

While hill may lose some work to Maclin when the Chiefs’ top WR returns, but he has clearly carved out a niche as a playmaker especially in the red zone. Coach Andy Reid has a history of making players like Hill into versatile fantasy-relevant threats, and Hill can be used as a flex play immediately especially in PPR leagues.
