The final weeks of the fantasy football regular season are coming up as we now warm up with a special Thanksgiving week. All 32 teams are in play as we bite into a massive slate with ample fantasy playoff implications. Let's preheat the oven and mix up some winners with our fantasy football waiver wire pickups lightning round heading into Week 13 of the 2024 NFL season.
This article provides a quick reaction to get fantasy-relevant players on your radar for Week 13 after the past week's results and injuries to David Montgomery (shoulder, reportedly OK for Thursday), Josh Downs (shoulder), Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle), Austin Ekeler (concussion), Romeo Doubs (head), Kalif Raymond (foot), and more. This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions.
Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum, you must determine your needs and short-term vs. long-term window) and broken down by position. Players must be rostered in roughly less than 60% of Yahoo leagues and will range from shallow options in standard leagues to deep options in PPR formats, with options for longer stashes beyond byes and immediate help.
