Mitchell Evans Catches Three Passes for 20 Yards in Week 13
Carolina Panthers tight end Mitchell Evans caught all three of his targets for 20 yards and totaled 5.0 PPR points in Sunday's upset win over the Los Angeles Rams. The Carolina TE played on 53% of snaps in Week 13, his highest percentage since Week 6. In 13 games played this season, Evans has averaged 3.1 PPR points per game. After a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints for the second time in 2025 in Week 15. Over the last four weeks leading up to Week 13, the Saints ranked 19th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs. When the Panthers last faced New Orleans, Evans was a non-factor, failing to catch his only target. Although the matchup is favorable for TEs, none of the Carolina TEs should be rostered during the fantasy football playoffs. Evans has been targeted more than once in a game four times this year.

Vikings Waive Veteran Adam Thielen
The Minnesota Vikings announced on Monday that they have waived wide receiver Adam Thielen. The 35-year-old wideout's role on offense in Minnesota had been dropping since their bye back in Week 6. The Vikings will now part ways with Thielen after they made him a healthy scratch for Sunday's blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. With Thielen out of the picture for the rest of the year in a lost season for the Vikings, it will give Tai Felton and Myles Price more chances to contribute as depth options behind Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, and Jalen Nailor. However, with second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) injured and struggling mightily in what is essentially his rookie season, all of Minnesota's pass-catchers have taken a big hit to their fantasy stock in 2025. In 11 games back with the Vikes this year, Thielen only produced eight catches on 18 targets for 69 yards and no touchdowns.

Xavier Legette Leaves Week 13 With a Quiet Performance
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette logged another quiet performance in Carolina's Week 13 surprising triumph over the Los Angeles Rams. The Carolina WR caught one of his two targets for one yard. This is the second time in the last four weeks that Legette finished a game with fewer than 10 yards. The Panthers will be up against New Orleans for the second time this season in Week 15 after a bye. In the last four weeks leading up to Week 13, the Saints ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game Allowed to WRs. Legette registered no fantasy points vs. the Saints in Week 10 and was targeted only once. The second-year wide receiver has finished with less than 5.0 PPR points over four of the last six weeks. It is apparent that Legette has no statistical floor, and he should not be rostered heading into the fantasy football playoffs.

UCLA Expected to Hire Bob Chesney as Next Head Coach
The UCLA Bruins are expected to bring in James Madison head coach Bob Chesney as their new head coach, according to On3Sports. The 48-year-old has an excellent 131-51 career record between his time with the Dukes, Holy Cross, Assumption, and Salve Regina. His two-year stint with James Madison was the first time he coached at the FBS level, so the step-up to the Big Ten is a big one. Chesney took over for now-Indiana head coach Curt Cigentti in Harrisonburg and tallied a 20-5 record over 25 games. The Dukes are in line to face Troy in the Sun Belt Conference Championship Game on Friday. Part of Chesney's task at UCLA could be continuing the development of quarterback Nico Iamaleava, but it remains to be seen if he'll stay in Los Angeles under the new regime. UCLA is 8-16 over the last two seasons following three consecutive bowl game berths under Chip Kelly.

Tetairoa McMillan Salvages his Fantasy Performance With a Touchdown in Week 13
Carolina Panthers rookie first-round wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan wasn't very busy in Week 13 but still made a notable impact in the Panthers' stunning 31-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie WR was targeted just twice, his lowest target count of the season. However, McMillan caught a 43-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the game-clinching score. McMillan has now caught TD passes in three consecutive games, and he finished Week 13 with 11.3 PPR points. In Week 15, after a bye, Carolina will face the New Orleans Saints in a Week 10 rematch. In the first meeting against the Saints, McMillan finished with 60 yards on five receptions. New Orleans ranked 20th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to WRs in the four weeks leading up to Week 13. Although he did not see much volume in Week 13, McMillan has a favorable matchup in Week 15, where he is likely to see more targets. Due to his solid fantasy floor this season, McMillan is worth considering as a WR3 or flex start.

Rico Dowdle Registers 18 Carries and Two Receptions in Week 13
Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle rushed for only 58 yards on 18 carries during Week 13's 31-28 upset win over the Los Angeles Rams. The Carolina RB also added 21 receiving yards on two receptions, totaling 9.9 PPR points. It was the first time since Weeks 7-8 that Dowdle ended back-to-back games with less than 12 PPR points. For the first time since being named the starting RB in Week 9, Dowdle was outplayed by Chuba Hubbard, who registered 20.4 PPR points on 124 scrimmage yards and a receiving touchdown. The workload between the two RBs was split, and Hubbard took the most snaps (59%). In Week 15, Dowdle and the Panthers face the New Orleans Saints for the second time this season after a bye. In the last four weeks leading up to Week 13, the Saints ranked 13th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to RBs. During the Panthers' prior game against New Orleans in Week 10, Dowdle finished with 63 scrimmage yards and a rushing TD. With the possibility of Dowdle now being in a timeshare with Hubbard, he cannot be regarded as a must-start player regardless of matchup anymore. But he should still be a good start against the Saints, because the surprising Panthers may totally control the flow of the matchup. If Carolina rolls to a big win, you should see Dowdle get into the end zone at least once.

Devin Neal Sees 17 Touches in Week 13, Could Make More Starts
New Orleans Saints rookie running back Devin Neal made the first start of his NFL career in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the hosting Miami Dolphins in Week 13. Neal handled a team-high 14 carries for 47 yards (3.4 yards per tote) while also adding three catches on three targets for an additional 22 yards through the air. The 22-year-old got the opportunity after veteran Alvin Kamara (knee) suffered an MCL sprain in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Neal played a season-high 82% of the offensive snaps, with Evan Hull seeing five rushing attempts as his backup. Although his production wasn't exactly head-turning on Sunday, Neal deserves more attention on the waiver wire this week (he's rostered in 57% of Yahoo leagues) since there's a good chance Kamara will miss more time. Neal will be at least an RB3/flex in fantasy in Week 14 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers if Kamara is out again.

Jayden Reed Worth a Pickup With Return on the Horizon
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) has been out since breaking his collarbone way back in Week 2, but he's been practicing in recent weeks and figures to be activated from Injured Reserve to make his return for a crucial Week 14 divisional clash against the Chicago Bears this weekend. The Packers will most likely ease Reed back onto the field after his long layoff due to a broken collarbone and after having surgery for a broken foot, but the 25-year-old is definitely deserving of being stashed in fantasy leagues for managers who have a shot at competing in the playoffs. Reed is widely available in Yahoo leagues, as he's only rostered in 38% of leagues heading into Week 14. Green Bay has a vast array of wideouts that they rotate on game days, but Reed has scored 18 total touchdowns in 35 career games and should have a key role once he's back up to speed following his injuries.

Mike Evans Could Make an Impact in the Fantasy Playoffs
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) has not played since breaking his collarbone in Week 7 and is on Injured Reserve, but he could be a factor for fantasy managers in the fantasy playoffs, which typically run from Weeks 15-17. The Buccaneers originally were optimistic that the 32-year-old veteran and future Hall of Famer would be able to return before the end of the regular season because of the fact that he suffered a clean break of his collarbone. Reports over the weekend suggested that Evans could even return as early as the team's Week 14 game on Sunday, Dec. 7, against the division-rival New Orleans Saints. Evans is currently rostered in only 58% of fantasy leagues, so if your team has a shot at playing beyond Week 14, he's someone to seriously consider picking up and stashing for the stretch run.

Chris Godwin Jr. Back on the Fantasy Map?
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. saw a steady increase in workload during Week 13's 20-17 win over the visiting Arizona Cardinals, reeling in 3-of-5 passes for 78 yards. The veteran saw a decent uptick in snap share this past weekend, eclipsing 50% of plays, and notching a team- and season-high with his yardage total. It's an encouraging outing for Godwin Jr., who has spent most of the season battling ankle and fibula injuries. He should continue to see his involvement rise over the coming weeks as he's further removed from the latter, and may hold some fantasy value yet down the stretch. The Penn State product's roster percentage is at one of its lowest rates in years, so now is a good time for fantasy managers to buy back in, particularly with a solid matchup in the New Orleans Saints slated for Week 14.

Alec Pierce Rebounds in Week 13, Worthy of Waiver Consideration
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce posted a nice bounce-back effort in Sunday's 20-16 home loss to the Houston Texans, corralling four of five looks for 78 yards and a touchdown. The former Cincinnati Bearcat was a letdown in a tough Week 12 meeting with the Chiefs, but he rewarded fantasy managers who stuck with him this past weekend and remains a critical piece of the Colts' attack. Pierce's TD -- his second of the campaign -- was another impressive downfield contested catch. While it may be difficult for him to surpass his career-high in touchdowns (seven) with only five games remaining, the 25-year-old is well on his way to smashing the rest of his personal bests. Currently, Pierce is still available in over 40% of leagues, and is a top waiver-wire target for fantasy managers in need of aid at the WR position.

Sauce Gardner Officially Week-to-Week with Strained Calf
Indianapolis Colts defensive back Sauce Gardner (calf) is considered week-to-week after injuring his calf in Sunday's 20-16 loss to their division-rival Houston Texans, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gardner was forced out of Week 13's home clash early due to a non-contact injury, so the fact that it's just a sprain is excellent news for the team. However, the issue is considered "mild," and the "hope" is that the fourth-year pro will be able to return by the end of the regular season, Rapoport notes. For now, teammates Mekhi Blackmon and Jaylon Jones figure to see increased playing time in Gardner's stead. While he'll miss some time, it's fortunate that the 25-year-old avoided a significant injury.

Jalen Coker Emerging as Second Option in Carolina's Passing Offense?
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker was a bright spot for the team in their rain-soaked 31-28 win against the visiting Los Angeles Rams, compiling a 4/74/1 line on six targets. The second-year pro was a key contributor in the upset victory, posting team-highs across the board, while snagging his first touchdown of the campaign. Since returning from a quad injury seven games ago, Coker has racked up 18 receptions and 224 yards (25 targets). The numbers are modest at best, although he's just 63 receiving yards behind teammate Xavier Legette, who is only ten catches ahead of him despite making four more appearances. Quarterback Bryce Young has been up and down, but he looked good on Sunday in a tough matchup with less-than-ideal conditions, and Coker has displayed explosiveness getting off the line. He's firmly on the fantasy radar.

RJ Harvey Scores Twice in 27-26 Overtime Win Over Washington
Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey scored twice in Sunday's 27-26 overtime win over the Washington Commanders. Harvey had 13 carries for 35 yards and two touchdowns, while adding three catches for 27 yards on four targets. While Harvey out-touched backup running back Jaleel McLaughin 16 to seven, the most encouraging part about that was seeing him get the goal-line touchdowns. Down the stretch, Harvey will likely be forced into a key contributor role in the Broncos' offense as he now has eight touchdowns in his rookie year. After having only six touches for 18 total yards when Harvey faced the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10, he will be poised for more work during their Week 14 rematch. Despite the rough outing in the previous matchup against the Raiders, Harvey is a must-start and a borderline RB1 heading into Week 14.

Evan Engram Leads Broncos with Nine Targets, Posts Season-High 79 Yards on SNF
Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram flashes vintage form in a 27-26 overtime win against the Washington Commanders. Engram led the team in targets with nine, catching six of those for 79 yards and no touchdowns. With a long 41-yard catch and run in overtime, Engram nearly matched his season high in yardage for a game with that catch alone. It will still be tough to trust Engram going forward despite his breakout game. The Broncos are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders for a second time this season in Week 14. Engram caught two passes for 12 yards in the previous game against Las Vegas in Week 10. Despite Engram's solid performance on Sunday night, Engram is difficult to trust and is mainly an option in deep leagues in a division rematch vs. the Raiders.

Troy Franklin Sees Only Three Targets Coming Off Bye Week
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin took a step backward in the offense on a night when quarterback Bo Nix attempted 45 passes in their 27-26 overtime win against the Washington Commanders. Franklin averaged nine targets per game in the five games before the bye week, but regressed to having just three in Week 13, catching two of them for 21 yards and no touchdowns. Perhaps the resurgence of tight end Evan Engram (nine targets) stifled Franklin's production for what could've been a one-off dud, but this will be something to watch as the team is coming off their bye week. Franklin had five catches for 40 yards and a touchdown while facing the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 10, so he will look to replicate that at least for Week 14.

Courtland Sutton Finds the End Zone in OT Win Over the Commanders
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton found the end zone and scored for the first time since Week 9 in a close 27-26 overtime win against the Washington Commanders. Coming off the bye week, Sutton rewarded those who started him with five catches on six targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's OT victory. Even more surprisingly, Sutton did this while being third on the team in targets. The 30-year-old was behind tight end Evan Engram (nine) and Pat Bryant (seven), and ahead of the supposed new alpha receiver of the group, Troy Franklin, who had just three targets. With the Las Vegas Raiders on tap again for the upcoming week, Sutton will look to redeem himself after having only three catches for 24 yards against them in Week 10. Fantasy managers can start Sutton with confidence as he's a low-end WR2 in a plus matchup vs. Las Vegas entering Week 14.

Bo Nix Shows Grit in OT Win for Broncos' Ninth Straight
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had another hard-fought game while leading his team to a ninth straight win after defeating the Washington Commanders 27-26 on Sunday Night Football. In the overtime win, Nix completed 29 of his 45 pass attempts for 321 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding two carries for 16 yards. In perhaps Nix's flashiest play of the season so far, he found wider receiver Courtland Sutton in the end zone as his knee was inches from the ground for the Broncos' first score of the game. While Nix has flashed greatness at times in 2025, fantasy managers are still aiming for his late 2024 form, when he threw 12 touchdowns over his final four games. Nix will try to lead the Broncos to their 10th straight win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is a borderline low-end QB1 in a plus matchup heading into Week 14.

Lane Kiffin to Make $13 Million Salary, Ties Kirby Smart
New LSU head coach Lane Kiffin will make $13 million annually with his new contract in Baton Rouge, tying him with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart for the highest-paid coach in college football. LSU would owe him 80% of his remaining contract if he is fired without cause. The 50-year-old officially accepted the Tigers' coaching gig on Sunday after leading Ole Miss to a program-record 11 regular-season wins in 2025. Overall, Kiffin tallied a 55-19 record in Oxford, including four seasons of at least 10 wins and three bowl-game victories. The son of the late Monte Kiffin is known for his explosive offenses and strong personality, and he'll have no shortage of resources and in-state talent to chase a College Football Playoff National Championship in his fifth head-coaching position in college football.

John Metchie III Flirting with Fantasy Viability
New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III may have been a disappointment for fantasy in Week 13, but he's still trending positively with the team's offensive attack finally gaining some traction in the campaign. The 25-year-old continued his heavy utilization in New York's 27-24 home win over the Atlanta Falcons, nabbing 4-of-8 passes for 19 yards. It isn't what managers expected, particularly after Metchie III strung together two double-digit fantasy-point outings. Even with the down game, though, the usage was there, and veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been a decent boost for the Jets' offense, making the former Houston Texan a decent prospective waiver claim. Teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) may return in two weeks, but Metchie III looks to be carving out a solid role with his new team. He'll get the Dolphins at home in Week 14.

Jordan Mason Worth Targeting on the Waiver Wire With Teammate Injured
Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason has recorded single-digit touches in each of his last four games. However, the 26-year-old may step into a much more prominent role going forward after fellow Vikings back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the team's Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Across the four games that Jones Sr. missed earlier this season with a hamstring injury, Mason recorded 301 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 66 touches. Minnesota's offense as a whole has spiraled downwards in recent weeks, recording six points combined over its last two games. However, Minnesota could get quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) back in Week 14, and the Vikings have a far more favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders. If Jones Sr. is forced to miss time, Mason would have starting fantasy appeal in Week 14. He's worth targeting on the waiver wire even if more clarity around Jones Sr.'s status does not come until later in the week.

Buster Faulkner, Joey Halzle Candidates for Florida Offensive Coordinator Job?
Florida football found its new head coach on Sunday, officially announcing the hiring of former Tulane and Troy head coach Jon Sumrall. The young defensive mind said one of his top priorities will be assembling "an incredible staff, including an offensive coordinator who understands that, at Florida, having an explosive offense isn't optional." On3's Pete Nakos lists Georgia Tech's Buster Faulkner and Tennessee's Joey Halzle as potential candidates for the Gators' offensive coordinator job. Faulkner is known for helping develop quarterback Haynes King and leading this year's Georgia Tech offense to compile 466.3 yards per game and 33.1 points per game. Halzle took over OC duties in Knoxville following the departure of recently-hired Auburn head coach, Alex Golesh. The Vols ranked sixth nationally in yards per game (482.0) and seventh nationally in points per game (40.8) during the regular season. Whoever takes over the Florida offense could be tasked with helping DJ Lagway realize his potential, but it remains to be seen if Lagway will stick around for the new staff in Gainesville.

Bhayshul Tuten a High-End Handcuff Option Heading into Week 14
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten recorded his fifth touchdown of the season in his team's Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans, but he recorded just 19 scrimmage yards on nine touches. After his breakout 74-yard game in Week 11, Tuten has now been held under 20 scrimmage yards in back-to-back weeks. The 23-year-old has flashed upside throughout the year, but he remains firmly behind Travis Etienne Jr. in the Jaguars backfield pecking order. Still, Tuten has scored three touchdowns in his last five games and would immediately profile as a must-start fantasy running back if Etienne Jr. were to suffer an injury. Tuten's standalone value is as a low-end flex, at best. However, he's worth targeting on the waiver wire as a priority handcuff option heading into Jacksonville's Week 14 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Bam Knight Remains a Priority Waiver-Wire Target Heading into Week 14
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight recorded 98 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 14 touches in his team's Week 13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Knight has now recorded double-digit touches in five out of his last six games and scored a touchdown in each of the last three weeks. Arizona should get running backs Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) back from injury in the coming weeks, which will likely impact Knight's playing time. However, neither back is guaranteed to play in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. Even if one or both of Benson and Demercado return, Knight may have done enough in their absence to remain in a flex-worthy role. The 24-year-old has proven capable as both a rusher and receiver, hauling in 11 catches on 12 targets over his last three games. In fantasy leagues where he's still available, Knight is a must-add waiver-wire running back heading into Week 14.

Kyle Monangai Emerging as the Lead Rusher in Chicago
Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai delivered a statement performance in his team's massive Week 13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, recording 130 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Monangai has been stealing touches away from veteran Bears back D'Andre Swift for multiple weeks, but Week 13 may signal a more permanent shift in the Chicago backfield. Monangai has now earned more carries than Swift in back-to-back weeks, although it's worth noting that Swift also dominated against Philadelphia with 125 rushing yards and a touchdown on 18 attempts. Monangai's ceiling is limited by his lack of receiving work, as he's failed to record a catch in three out of his last four games. Still, the rookie is averaging 4.9 yards per carry this season and appears to be emerging as the lead rusher in an increasingly impressive Chicago offense. Monangai is a must-add player off the waiver wire in fantasy leagues where he remains available heading into a Week 14 showdown against the Green Bay Packers.

Kentucky Officially Fires Mark Stoops
The University of Kentucky has officially fired longtime head coach Mark Stoops, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. This decision comes after two consecutive losing seasons in Lexington, capped off by a 41-0 loss to Louisville in the final week of the 2025 campaign. Before the 4-8 and 5-7 seasons in 2024 and 2025, Stoops led the Wildcats to a school-record eight consecutive bowl berths, and he won 10 games in 2018 and 2021. With a 72-80 overall record in 13 seasons with the program, Stoops is the winningest coach in Kentucky history. Known as a top-tier defensive mind, Stoops could land a job with another team quickly if he chooses to continue his coaching career right away.

Adonai Mitchell a Waiver-Wire Priority Heading into Week 14
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell had a breakout game in his team's Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, recording eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. Since being acquired by the Jets in early November, Mitchell has established himself as a key piece in the team's offense. Across his last three games, the 23-year-old has earned 25 targets. Mitchell has also played at least 85% of New York's offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks. With star Jets wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve through at least Week 14, Mitchell should continue to have opportunities to contribute. Mitchell should be a priority target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Justin Herbert Has Metacarpal Fracture in Left Hand
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) has been diagnosed with a metacarpal fracture in his left hand, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Herbert suffered the fracture during his team's Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and was able to finish the game after a brief absence. Rapoport reports that Herbert is scheduled to undergo surgery, but that the plan is for him to be active for the Chargers' Week 14 Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Herbert completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Las Vegas. If Herbert were to suffer a setback or be unable to play in Week 14, backup quarterback Trey Lance would be in line to start for the Chargers against the Eagles. For now, fantasy managers should proceed as though Herbert will play, although he likely won't be at full strength.

Amon-Ra St. Brown's Week 14 Availability Up in the Air
Michigan Sports Writer Dave Birkett reported that Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke on Costa & Jansen with Heather on 97.1 The Ticket and said that wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown's (ankle) availability vs. Dallas probably won't be known until gameday or the day before. St Brown suffered a tough ankle injury early in Week 13's contest against the Green Bay Packers and did not return, as the Lions went on to lose 31-24 and are now a few games out of first place in the NFC North. The Lions' star receiver has been a rock for this team and city over the past few seasons, and his absence will undoubtedly hurt the team's chances of being at the top of their game. The Cowboys (6-5-1) are also coming off back-to-back wins against the Philadelphia Eagles (8-3) and the Kansas City Chiefs (6-6), and are looking to make a strong push in the NFC, so with the Lions sitting at (7-5), this matchup in Week 14 is massive between the two squads fighting for a Wild Card spot. Fantasy managers with St. Brown will want to keep their eyes on his progress throughout the week. If he can't go, Jameson Williams would operate as the Lions' No. 1 receiver, and Isaac TeSlaa could be a sneaky play in Week 14.

Christian Watson Goes Off on Thanksgiving Day, Should Not be on Waivers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson gave his Packers fans and his fantasy managers something to cheer about on Thanksgiving Day, as he hauled in four of his 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. The 10 targets were the most he has seen all season, and with the Packers desperately looking for a No. 1 wide receiver to help out sixth-year quarterback Jordan Love, Watson stepped up in a big way in Week 13. Wastson started the season on the Injured Reserve; however, since being activated in Week 8, he has produced 363 receiving yards, hauled in 21 receptions, and scored three touchdowns. As the weeks have progressed, and Watson has continued to ramp up, he has become the clear go-to target for Love with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the rest of the season. If Watson is on your waiver wire, he is a must-add in all formats and can be started in your lineups moving forward as a low-end WR2/flex play. Outside of a Week 15 matchup with the Denver Broncos, he gets some solid matchups against the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens for the rest of the fantasy season.
