We're heading into Thanksgiving, which is only a week or two away. fantasy soccer regular season. To become the league champion, you need to stay one step ahead of your competitors. Yes, we need to win this week's game, but we also need to prepare for Week 14, our second Biemageddon in three weeks.
There are no byes in Week 13, so the roster shouldn't be as short as Week 12. All of the top starters should be in the lineup. This should allow you to have players on your bench who can contribute to your team the following week. Unless the team had a string of injuries last week, they should use a waiver wire strategy, such as making roster additions in case of an avalanche of Week 14 byes or replacing bench players who can contribute going forward.
Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikain is a perfect example. He has scored six touchdowns in his last seven games, making him one of the top options for fantasy managers looking to fill a bye week hole these days. Here in Week 13, he may not be the player to break out of the starting lineup with all of his receivers playing, but if we look to Week 14, he'll face a Jaguars team that has some defensive issues. It turns out. Their pass defense ranks last in the NFL, and with Will Revis' improved level of passing, NWI should continue to see targets and red zone looks.
Another option would be to target Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling. Again, he's not someone you can really rely on when the rest of the receiver corps is healthy, but if you need someone in Week 14, the Saints will be up against the Giants and a struggling defense. Big Blue ranks 29th against the pass as MVS takes over Rashid Shahid's role, catching five of seven targets for 198 yards and three touchdowns in the past two games. did.
Saints tight end Taysom Hill might also be a player you might want to hold out for another week or two. His opponent in Week 13 is the Rams, and the Rams always struggle with both running and pass-catching tight ends, so given the overall state of the position, he'll be back in action against the Giants in Week 14. It seems wise to rely on
Fantasy football managers get a little breather during the week of Thanksgiving when there's no bye week for everyone, but that doesn't mean they take a break from working the waiver wire. Set your starting lineup for Week 13 as soon as possible and find out how much space you have on your bench. If they can continue to defend until Biemageddon in Week 14, they should enter the playoffs in style.
