Breakout fantasy football stars to pick up for Week 13
By Jon Dove
This past weekend saw several players have big games and put themselves on the fantasy football waiver wire radar.
Week 13 of the NFL season marks the end of the bye weeks. This means that your fantasy football rosters look a little deeper with every option available moving forward. Many owners have used the bye week stretch to gain some ground, but now is when the top teams start to standout.
However, there are situations where having your full roster available becomes troublesome. It creates a scenario where owners need to make some really tough choices. This is where we see people kicking themselves for starting the wrong player.
The end of the bye weeks also creates a different dynamic with the waiver wire. It’s a situation where some owners will stick with their current roster and skip making a claim.
However, there’s also a chance that someone dumps a solid starting quarterback to take a flyer on a high upside position player. It’s an important time to keep a close eye on those players who are dropped.
If you’re in the group that is looking for a high-upside add than this article should help. The players on this week’s breakout performers have some staying power. This group has players on rebuilding teams looking to find building blocks and players whose stock rose because of injury.
The decisions made this week could have a major impact on how your fantasy playoffs shake out. It’s important to consider all scenarios before dropping or adding a specific player.
