Now, let’s break down all the latest fantasy-relevant injury news in this week’s Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 13. We will continually update this list. Week 13 Byes: Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minnesota, New York Giants Jonathan Taylor (RB) Indianapolis Colts – Despite finishing the game, Colts’ RB Jonathan Taylor injured his thumb and it appears to be a serious ailment. To have the local beat writers saying that Taylor could wind up on IR sounds very disconcerting. If Zack Moss happens to be available on your waiver wire, he would become the unquestioned top priority to add ahead of Week 13. UPDATE: Unfortunately, it looks like Taylor will need surgery and miss a minimum of two games. Moss now becomes a bigger priority, worth most of your remaining FAAB if you are fighting for a playoff spot. #Colts owner Jim Irsay to @TheAthletic on Jonathan Taylor’s surgery: “There’s just not a lot of confidence in controlling (the ball) and the hand strength at this point, so the decision has been made to move forward in that direction.” https://t.co/PfPdSLoour — James Boyd (@RomeovilleKid) November 28, 2023 Kenneth Walker (RB) Seattle Seahawks – An oblique injury kept Walker out of Thursday’s loss. Also, Walker sat out practice on Monday, so his Week 13 status is in jeopardy. Seattle travels to Dallas to take on Dallas on Thursday Night Football. At this point, I would call Walker doubtful and estimate he has a 25% chance of suiting up. Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings have activated Jefferson from IR. Subsequently, Jefferson will be back on the field in Vegas when Minnesota returns to action following this week’s bye. Chris Olave (WR) New Orleans Saints – The Saints are severely depleted at wide receiver. Olave was having a huge outing on Sunday before leaving the game. He will have to clear the league’s concussion protocol before he can return. Also, Rashid Shaheed injured his quad in the same game and is considered unlikely to play in Week 13. We will update their Week 13 availability as news breaks. But, prepare for the Saints to give Lynn Bowden, A.T. Perry, Juwan Johnson, and Taysom Hill more targets if Olave and Shaheed are out. De’Von Achane (RB) Miami Dolphins – Head coach Mike McDaniel implied that Achane was held out of Week 12 for precautionary reasons. This is good news after Achane’s abbreviated return from IR in Week 11. Still, after that, it’s hard to have a lot of confidence until we see it on the field. If Achane is a full participant in practice this week we will re-address his Week 13 fantasy football rankings. Tee Higgins (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Higgins has missed three games with a hamstring injury. However, there is a good chance that he will return next Monday in Jacksonville. Amari Cooper (WR) Cleveland Browns – Cooper headed to the locker room after taking a hard shot to the ribs during the Browns’ Week 12 loss. Subsequently, he has yet to practice ahead of Week 13. We will have more updates in the FullTime Fantasy Discord as they become available. If Cooper sits, Elijah Moore would become a viable WR3. Dorian Thompson-Robinson (QB) Cleveland Browns – DTR is in the NFL’s concussion protocol after taking a vicious shot in Cleveland’s Week 13 loss. Subsequently, and combined with P.J. Walker’s 58.5 QB Rating out of relief, Joe Flacco will take first-team practice reps this week and has a legitimate shot at starting in Los Angeles. Demario Douglas (WR) New England Patriots – Another player dealing with a concussion, Douglas has been New England’s top wideout over the past month. We will monitor his progress through the protocol throughout the week. Quentin Johnston (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – Johnston exited Week 12 with a rib injury. However, X-rays came back negative. Johnston was cleared to return from that injury on Sunday. However, Brandon Staley elected to keep the first-rounder sidelined. Baker Mayfield (QB) Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Kyle Trask replaced Mayfield under center for a series as Mayfield was dealing with an ankle injury. However, he was able to return to action and finish the game. It looks like a non-factor. Blake Grupe (PK) New Orleans Saints – The Saints are working out veteran kickers after learning that Grupe is dealing with a groin injury. If New Orleans signs a replacement to the practice squad, that would indicate there is real concern about Grupe’s Week 13 availability. Finally, thanks for reading the Fantasy Football Injury Report.

Luck Week 13. Or maybe it’s unlucky, depending on how your season has developed. However, if you’re reading a fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13 article, you’re probably in contention. The fantasy postseason is just two weeks away, and picking up the right players for the stretch drive is paramount.
Here are FullTime‘s Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Week 13 players to target.
Week 13 Byes: Baltimore, Buffalo, Chicago, Las Vegas, Minnesota, New York Giants
FAAB denotes Free Agent Acquisition Budget
Pat Freiermuth (TE) Pittsburgh Steelers (33% FAAB) – The best way to explain Pittsburgh’s offensive woes is to blame Canada. In their first game after dismissing offensive coordinator Matt Canada, the Steelers put up a season-high 421 yards off offense. The main benefactor was Freiermuth, who was playing his first game since Week 4. Muth snagged 9-of-11 targets for a career-high 120 yards. While we can’t expect those numbers again, Freiermuth immediately returns to weekly TE1 status. And the timing couldn’t be better. If he’s somehow available on your fantasy football waiver wire: Week 13, don’t be outbid for a potential difference-maker.
Jayden Reed (WR) Green Bay Packers (15% FAAB) – Reed has been included in this piece multiple times. However…

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 13
The 2022 fantasy football regular season is close to the end with the playoffs looming. The must-win games are here. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 13 picks help you identify values to target and fades to avoid. It is also crucial to know which waiver wire pick to make and to stay up-to-date on the injury report. Here are our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 13 picks. Editor’s note: This article is the FullTime Fantasy debut for Bradley Stalder. QUARTERBACKS Start ‘Em Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars) Coming off a top-5 QB finish, Lawrence squares off against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field Week 13. The game total is projected over 50 points– indicating shootout potential. The Lions give up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season. The difference in points between what the Lions have allowed (23.9) and the 2nd most points allowed team, the Miami Dolphins, is also the same difference between the Dolphins and the 15th most points allowed team, the Washington Commanders. Mike White (New York Jets) Speaking of a plus matchup in a dome, White squares off against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. The Vikings allow the most passing yards to quarterbacks on the season despite allowing the 7th most pass attempts. White finished as the QB6 overall in Week 12 with 3 TDs and 0 INTs against an ailing Chicago defense in the rain. Even in his small samples, White has shown off a fantasy ceiling. Sit ‘Em Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns) Watson last played in an NFL game on January 3rd, 2021. That’s 700 days in-between game action. While he may be facing off against his former team, the Houston Texans, this is not the easiest matchup in Houston. The Texans allow the 4th fewest fantasy points to QBs on the season, mostly because game scripts get out of hand and opposing running backs dominate. Matt Ryan (Indianapolis Colts) While Ryan may have two top-5 finishes over his last five games, he’s also finished as QB20 or worse in the other three matchups. The matchup against Dallas in Arlington doesn’t get any easier. The Dallas defensive line has a projected 25% advantage over Indianapolis’ offensive line per PFF. The Cowboys also convert sacks at the 6th highest rate and force the 3rd most fumbles among team defenses, which is not a good formula for the pocket-passing QB. RUNNING BACKS Start ‘Em Cordarrelle Patterson (Atlanta Falcons) Patterson has admittedly been hard to pin down. He’s finished as a top-18 RB twice since returning from injury but also finished outside RB30 twice. Both of those ceiling games came at home. In fact, Patterson has averaged 15 fantasy points per game at home this year. The Atlanta OL projects a 28% run-blocking advantage over Pittsburgh, per PFF. Patterson is a start this week safely within the confines of a dome. Travis Etienne (Jacksonville Jaguars) Etienne may have left the matchup against the Ravens due to a foot injury, but was cleared to return. Weather played a factor in this game as it was delayed nearly a half hour. But fear no more, Etienne plays in Detroit against the Lions, who are one of four teams to give up over 100 rushing yards and at least one rushing TD per game to running backs. Etienne’s had a streak of 5 straight games with 100+ total yards and this Week 13 matchup should prove to be another week of fantasy goodness. Sit ‘Em Michael Carter / Zonovan Knight (New York Jets) Michael Carter is still day-to-day with an ankle injury. Even if he plays, he’s a risk for re-injury. That would leave Bam Knight as the primary running back for the Jets. Knight played admirably in relief in Week 12 but this is a tough matchup against the Vikings. Minnesota is projected to have a 48% defensive line run-blocking advantage over the Jets. The Vikings also give up less than 80 rushing yards to opposing running backs on the season on only 3.78 yards per carry, so there may not be a lot of room to run regardless of who leads the Jets backfield in touches. Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints) Fantasy managers can find better streaming options than firing up Kamara this week. He’s not been an RB1 this season and has finished RB10 or better on a week only three times in 10 games. In fact, in three of Kamara’s last four games, he’s finished as RB23 or worse. Also, Kamara logged fewer than 10 carries in those three games. Tampa Bay gives up the fewest targets, fewest receiving yards, and 3rd fewest fantasy points to running backs on the season. Tampa’s defensive line is projected to have a 32% run block advantage over New Orleans per PFF, which sets up for a Kamara bust game. WIDE RECEIVERS Start ‘Em George Pickens (Pittsburgh Steelers) Pickens pops off the game film as a game-breaker and gotta-get-it WR. After he was eased into the starting lineup for the first two weeks, Pickens has finished as a top-24 WR five times. He gets the Atlanta Falcons this week which gives up the fifth most fantasy points to WRs. With Diontae Johnson projected to line up the majority of snaps against shut-down corner A.J., Terrell, Pickens should find room for Kenny Pickett. Joshua Palmer (LA Chargers) Keenan Allen may have returned, but Josh Palmer is still putting up notable usage in the absence of Mike Williams. Palmer’s last two contests’ average with Allen in the lineup: 6.5 receptions, 7.5 targets, 81 receiving yards, and a TD. Williams is a projected game-time decision, but if he’s out Josh Palmer projects to play outside more with DeAndre Carter manning the slot. The game total is projected over 50, and Vegas is not a tough matchup. Randall Cobb (Green Bay Packers) In his last three healthy games, Cobb has either 73+ receiving yards or a TD. With Rodgers dealing with multiple injuries but expected to go
