Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stashes: Rico Dowdle, Kenneth Gainwell, Elijah Mitchell (Week 13)

It’s important to know the top waiver wire targets for each week of the fantasy football season. Beyond the top targets, though, there is benefit to improving your bench and stashing players that are forecasted to increase in value. We’ll also be a great resource for these waiver wire stashes. Here’s a look at players you should consider stashing this week. And check out all of our Week 13 fantasy football waiver wire advice.

Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Stash Targets

Running Back Stash Candidates

Rico Dowdle‘s workload has progressed as I expected it to, and a fantasy manager with waning RB depth could conceivably plug him into the starting lineup. At the very least, Dowdle remains a premium handcuff behind Tony Pollard.

Kenneth Gainwell has kept a game-flow-dependent role for most of 2023 and has already vultured some of those sweet D’Andre Swift scoring opportunities. Although not a true handcuff stash, Gainwell would stand to gain value if Swift were to go down.

Mitchell finally saw a little bit of playing time to spell Christian McCaffrey in Week 12, with 7-39-0 rushing against the Seahawks. Mitchell is still nowhere near startable and only carries handcuff value.
