Waiver Wire Express - Week 13 Lightning Round Including Pat Freiermuth, Chuba Hubbard, Jayden Reed, Elijah Moore

Curtis Samuel - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

The Week 13 waiver wire pickups & adds lightning round for 2023 fantasy football. Our free agent list includes Pat Freiermuth, Chuba Hubbard, Jayden Reed, Elijah Moore & more.

I hope y'all rested up over the holiday because it's already time for the first look toward the fantasy football waiver wire following Sunday's games. After zero byes, we'll suddenly be missing the Ravens, Bills, Bears, Raiders, Vikings, and Giants, so buckle up! Prioritize depth ahead of the playoff push as we hit the waiver wire lightning round heading into Week 13.

We're here as a rapid reaction to put names on your radar with the week's performances and injuries to Chris Olave, Amari Cooper, Demario Douglas, and more. This column is published early every week and then updated daily. Each day of the week will also yield more in-depth waiver wire analysis for all positions. 

Waiver pickups are listed in priority order (in a vacuum) 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.
