For most, there are just two weeks left in the fantasy football regular season. Now is the time to push your chips into the middle of the table to either make a run for a fantasy championship or to play a role as a spoiler in the stretch run.
There aren’t any teams on bye in Week 13 due to the Thanksgiving slate, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still be proactive in targeting players on the waiver wire to maximize our lineups.
This article will focus on players available in at least 50% of Yahoo leagues, as well as some deep sleepers rostered in less than 20% of leagues. Without further ado, here are the best Week 13 fantasy football streaming options at every position.

Quarterback Streaming Options Week 13
Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans vs Jacksonville Jaguars (7% Rostered)
Cam Ward had his best game of the season in Week 12 against a stout Seahawks defense. He completed 28 of 42 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown while adding six carries for 37 yards and a touchdown. Ward’s 23.9 fantasy points were fourth among quarterbacks in Week 12.
Cam Ward Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The 2025 first overall pick has now set season highs in fantasy points in two straight weeks since the Titans’ bye. Through 12 weeks, the Titans are top 10 among all NFL teams in pass attempts (374, 6th), pass plays per game (37.3, 9th), and pace of play (2.09, 7th). More importantly, Ward has been far more aggressive with his legs in recent weeks, racking up nine carries for 70 yards and a touchdown.
The Jaguars have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season (19.3) and the third-most touchdown passes (22). Ward’s recent improvements heading into this good matchup make him a solid streaming option.
Deep Sleeper: Shedeur Sanders, Cleveland Browns vs San Francisco 49ers (6% Rostered)
Shedeur Sanders was effective in his first career start against the Raiders, completing 55% of his passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. It was far from a flawless start, but the rookie did enough to earn another start in Week 13 against the 49ers.
Shedeur Sanders Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
San Francisco’s defense is banged up enough at defensive line and linebacker to limit the team’s ability to generate pressure. That has allowed opposing quarterbacks to throw 21 touchdowns against them while recording just four interceptions this season. Hopefully Sanders can take advantage of time in the pocket to provide a usable fantasy outing.
Honorable Mention: Tyler Shough, New Orleans Saints at Miami Dolphins (8% Rostered)
Tyler Shough was efficient against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12 (69.8% completion rate), but threw for just 243 yards and an interception in the team’s loss. On the bright side, Shough has become a more willing runner in his last two games, carrying the ball 11 times.
Tyler Shough Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The Saints may lean on Shough’s legs even more with Alvin Kamara managing a knee injury. The Miami Dolphins have allowed the second-most rushing yards (278) and the third-most rushing touchdowns (four) to quarterbacks this season. They’ve also given up 18 passing touchdowns with just three interceptions. Like his fellow rookies, Shough is a streaming option this week.
Running Back Streaming Options Week 13
Tyler Allgeier, Atlanta Falcons at New York Jets (44% Rostered)
Tyler Allgeier has a consistent role in the Falcons’ backfield, but he becomes fantasy relevant when the Falcons can get a positive game script. The veteran running back has 59 carries for 206 yards and three touchdowns when the Falcons are leading. When the team is tied or losing, he has just 30 carries for 118 yards and four touchdowns.
The Falcons will match up against a Jets defense that traded away most of its top-end talent at the trade deadline. The Jets’ offense has also scored more than 24 points just twice in their last eight games, which sets the stage for a lead for the Falcons and a high-volume role for Allgeier in Week 14.
Deep Sleeper: Devin Neal, New Orleans Saints at Miami Dolphins (3% Rostered)
Alvin Kamara suffered an MCL injury during the New Orleans Saints’ Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. Time will tell if Kamara is able to play through the injury, but either way, rookie running back Devin Neal is set to see his role in the offense expand.
Devin Neal Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
Neal, a sixth-round pick out of Kansas, has had a bigger presence in the Saints’ offense since Kendre Miller went down with an injury. Since Week 7, Neal has averaged a 50.6% snap share (largely aided by a 73.8% mark in Week 12 after Kamara was hurt). He has 14 carries for 51 yards and 12 receptions (on 14 targets) for 64 yards.
During his final three seasons at Kansas, Neal averaged 200.7 carries and 23.3 receptions per season for 1,430 all-purpose yards and 14.7 touchdowns. Taysom Hill and Audric Estime will likely have roles in the backfield, but Neal should be the lead back in Week 13 if Kamara misses. That makes him a very appealing streaming option for deep leagues.
Wide Receiver Streaming Options Week 13
Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers at Detroit Lions (48% Rostered)
The Packers have had to lean on Christian Watson since he was activated from the Injured Reserve, thanks to injuries to Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft, and Matthew Golden. Since Week 8, Watson has caught 17 of 24 targets for 283 yards and two touchdowns. Watson has at least two receptions and 45 receiving yards in every game this season.
Reed and Golden could return in Week 13, but that won’t affect Watson’s role in the offense as the team’s most reliable downfield threat too much. The Packers play a Detroit Lions offense that could push the team into a passing game script as well. With all this on his side, Watson is a solid streaming option.
Deep Sleeper: Chimere Dike, Tennessee Titans vs Jacksonville Jaguars (14% Rostered)
Chimere Dike had a big fantasy week against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12, racking up five receptions (on seven targets) for 44 yards and a touchdown while adding a 90-yard punt return touchdown.
Chimere Dike Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
Dike has flashed big-play ability on offense and on special teams this season, which gives him serious fantasy appeal for leagues that reward special teams touchdowns. He also has a good matchup this week, as the Jaguars have allowed 21.3 points per game to wide receivers this season. Along with his quarterback, the rookie is a solid streaming option.
Honorable Mention: Jayden Higgins, Houston Texans at Indianapolis Colts (22% Rostered)
Jayden Higgins has solidified his role in Houston’s passing attack over the last three weeks. During that time, Higgins is averaging a 58.8% snap share with 7.7 targets, 4.3 receptions, and 45 receiving yards per game. He’s also scored two touchdowns during that time.
Jayden Higgins Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
Higgins is starting to come into his own at receiver, and he has certainly been aided by pass volume with Davis Mills under center. The Texans are averaging 38.7 pass attempts per game over the last three weeks.
The Colts have had their struggles in the secondary this season, but they are finally starting to get healthy. That said, they did give up 352 yards to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Higgins could have another solid week in Week 13, especially if he can find the end zone again.
Tight End Streaming Options Week 13
Brenton Strange, Jacksonville Jaguars at Tennessee Titans (13% Rostered)
It didn’t take long for Brenton Strange to reestablish himself as the most consistent piece of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ passing attack in his return from IR.
Brenton Strange Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
Strange caught all five of his targets for 93 yards in the Jaguars’ overtime victory over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12. It was the most receiving yards the third-year tight end has had in a game this year.
The veteran tight end has been one of the most efficient tight ends in football this season, ranking as the TE10 in yards per route run (1.79), yards per reception (11.9), and yards per team pass attempt (1.49). He’s also the TE4 in yards per target (10.2). His Week 13 opponent, the Tennessee Titans, is a bad matchup for tight ends. But Strange’s role in the passing attack (even if Brian Thomas Jr. returns from his ankle injury) is too good to ignore.
Deep Sleeper: Mike Gesicki, Cincinnati Bengals at Baltimore Ravens (2% Rostered)
Mike Gesicki returned from IR in Week 12 and immediately took on a role in the passing game with Ja’Marr Chase sidelined due to a suspension. The veteran tight end finished second on the Bengals in targets (six) and receiving yards (35) against the Patriots.
Chase will be back in Week 13, but Tee Higgins has already been ruled out with a concussion. That means that Gesicki will once again elevate in the team’s passing attack as the primary slot receiver. Over the last two seasons, Gesicki has played five games with Higgins out due to injury. In those games, he saw increases of 3.1 targets, 2.2 receptions, 35.9 receiving yards, and 8.2 fantasy points per game.
The Baltimore Ravens have been playing better in recent weeks on defense, but slot defensive back Kyle Hamilton left Week 12’s game with an injury and may not play in Week 13. That will help Gesicki’s production.
Honorable Mention: Harold Fannin Jr., Cleveland Browns vs San Francisco 49ers (34% Rostered)
Harold Fannin Jr. emerged as Shedeur Sanders‘ most trusted pass catcher in his first career start against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fannin led the team in targets (six) and receptions (four) while logging 40 receiving yards.
Harold Fannin Jr. Advanced Stats & Metrics Profile
The rookie tight end has been a steady producer for fantasy, averaging 6.3 targets, 4.4 receptions, and 42.0 receiving yards per game. However, his fantasy output has been slightly underwhelming due to a lack of big games or touchdowns in a struggling Browns offense.
However, the upside for big games will remain present as long as Fannin maintains his role in the offense. He is currently the TE5 in target rate (24.1%), the TE6 in targets (69), and the TE7 in target share (19.3%) despite being the TE21 on route participation (67.1%). Fannin will remain a steady floor option in fantasy against a San Francisco 49ers defense struggling with injuries in Week 13.
