pickfive: 5 Pickups for Week 13 Featured

Written by

It's the end of another exciting week of football which means it's time to put your claims in for available free agents in your fantasy league to strengthen your team. I'll be going over who I think are the top five picks for you to target this week so don't miss out on them. Good luck!  

 

Note: %owned is based on Yahoo! leagues at the time of publication. 

 

5) Kendrick Bourne (NE) - 23% owned – Bourne is quietly the #20 wide receiver in standard fantasy scoring (#23 in PPR) meaning he should be owned on more rosters than he is.  He has a tough matchup against the Bills defense in week 13 although they just lost Tre’Davious White for the season making it a bit more appealing. 

   

4) Dontrell Hilliard (TEN) - 29% owned  Hilliard put up 131 rushing yards and a touchdown on 12 carries against the Patriots in week 12 which should allow him more opportunities going forward.  He is still in a time share with D’Onta Foreman and potentially Jeremy McNichols when he returns limiting his upside. 

 

3) Chuba Hubbard (CAR) - 40% owned – Carolina is on bye for week 13 but if you are in need for a running back week 14 and into the playoffs than Hubbard is a decent option given the news of Christian McCaffrey missing the remainder of the season.  While McCaffrey was out earlier in the season Hubbard averaged 19 touches per game. 

    

2) Jamaal Williams (DET) - 40% owned – Williams is in line to start at running back for the Lions after D’Andre Swift went down with a shoulder injury.  Look for Williams to play as an RB2 expecting to get 20+ touches against the Vikings. 

 

1) Alexander Mattison (MIN) - 51% owned – Dalvin Cook has an injured shoulder which will likely sideline him for multiple games paving the way for Mattison to carry the load in the Vikings backfield.  He has a dream matchup against the Lions in week 13 so should be the top priority if available in your league.
