Week 13 Injury Report & Waiver Radar
Injuries + Must-Add Week 13 Waiver Targets
Written by Duke Deming
Injury Report
Baker Mayfield (QB – TB)
Missed second half with shoulder sprain, seen in sling. Teddy Bridgewater starts if Mayfield can’t go.
J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN)
Entered concussion protocol. Max Brosmer in line to start Week 13.
Joe Burrow (QB – CIN)
Missed Week 12 (toe). Expected back Week 13 — big boost for Bengals pass-catchers.
Josh Jacobs (RB – GB)
Held out with knee injury. Hopeful for Week 13; if not, Emanuel Wilson gets another huge workload.
Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)
Exited early with knee injury. Devin Neal steps in if Kamara misses time.
Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)
Concussion, ruled OUT Thursday vs Baltimore.
Drake London (WR – ATL)
Missed Week 12 (knee). Falcons playing it safe — likely out again.
Matthew Golden (WR – GB)
Out Week 12 (shoulder/wrist). Status uncertain for Thursday.
Week 13 Waiver Wire Radar
1. Troy Franklin (WR – DEN)
Leads Denver WRs in targets, receptions, TDs. Breakout incoming.
2. Christian Watson (WR – GB)
Led Packers with 7 targets last week. Elevated role if Golden misses Thursday.
3. Devin Neal (RB – NO)
5 catches, 43 yards when Kamara exited. Immediate starter if Kamara sits.
4. Andres Iosivas (WR – CIN)
Becomes clear WR2 Thursday with Higgins out & Burrow back.
5. Chimere Dike (WR – TEN)
5 catches + TD + 90-yard PR TD. Injuries ahead of him = opportunity.
6. Colston Loveland (TE – CHI)
4 catches, 49 yards, TD last week. 6 straight games with 4+ targets.
7. Brenton Strange (TE – JAC)
Returned catching all five of his targets for 93 yards and a top-half TE1 finish.
8. Chris Rodriguez Jr. (RB – WAS)
Taking over lead-back duties + favorable playoff schedule.
Desperate?
9. Raheem Mostert (RB – LV)
The Ashton Jeanty injury isn’t believed to be serious, but if Carroll chooses a cautious approach, Mostert is next man up.
10. Greg Dortch (WR – ARI)
Having any piece of the Brissett comeback tour is a pretty exciting option for any team that’s been riddled with injuries.
11. John Metchie III (WR – NYJ)
Led the team with an 88% route share and caught six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. Looks like the top option on a team that should be playing from behind most games and now with a competent throwing QB.
Week 13 Byes: NONE
