Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Pickups to Target

Jayden Higgins (WR – HOU): 35% Rostered

Next Opponents: @KC, ARI, LV
True Value: $6
Desperate Need: $9
Budget-Minded: $4

Analysis: Jayden Higgins‘ role in the Houston offense has been growing. Since Week 11, he has had two top-24 weekly finishes (WR22, WR23). In Week 12, he had a 67.7% route share, a 30% target share, a 51.3% air-yard share, 38 receiving yards, 1.81 yards per route run and a 38.9% first-read share, per Fantasy Points Data. In Week 13, Higgins didn’t post gaudy numbers but still had a 63.1% route share, a 14.2% target share and was second on the team with 65 receiving yards. Higgins doesn’t have a tough matchup again until Week 17 against the Chargers. He’s firmly on the WR3/Flex radar for the rest of the season.

Chris Rodriguez Jr. (RB – WSH): 23% Rostered

Next Opponents: @MIN, @NYG, PHI
True Value: $2
Desperate Need: $4
Budget-Minded: $1

Analysis: Before the Commanders’ Week 12 bye, Chris Rodriguez Jr. had taken over as their primary ball-carrier. Although he continues to share touches with Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols, Rodriguez is the starter and Washington’s main goal-line back. His touchdown run against the Broncos on Sunday night was his third in his last four games. In Week 14, the Commanders take on the quarterback-less Vikings in Week 14. In a rare game that could find the Commanders playing with a lead, Rodriguez and his backfield mates might have plenty of opportunities to come through for fantasy. The Commanders also have favorable running-game matchups on the horizon versus the Giants and the struggling Eagles. If Rodriguez continues to operate as the Commanders’ lead back, he’ll profile as a solid RB3 in Week 14, with RB2 potential in two great matchups in Weeks 15 and 16.

Adonai Mitchell (WR – NYJ): 2% Rostered

Next Opponents: MIA, @JAX, @NO
True Value: $4
Desperate Need: $6
Budget-Minded: $2

Analysis: The regression game was coming for Adonai Mitchell. His usage with the Jets before Week 13 had been too good not to catch fire and lead to a big week eventually. In Weeks 11-12, Mitchell had a 23.6% target share, a 35.5% first-read share and a 62.5% air-yard share, but he had only 26 receiving yards per game, 1.13 yards per route run and three drops to show for it, per Fantasy Points Data. In Week 13, Mitchell torched the Falcons with a 36.3% target share, eight receptions and 102 receiving yards. I’m not saying he will continue to produce at that pace moving forward, but he is the clear No. 1 WR for the Jets right now. I don’t want to use Mitchell as a Flex option in Week 14 against an improved Dolphins secondary, but his two matchups after that are wonderful. Since Week 8, the Jaguars and Saints have, respectively, allowed the fourth-most and seventh-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

Blake Corum (RB – LAR): 16% Rostered

Next Opponents: @ARI, DET, @SEA
True Value: $5
Desperate Need: $8
Budget-Minded: $3

Analysis: The Panthers’ Week 13 win over the Rams might be one of the biggest upsets of the season. Every time it seems as if the Rams have become an unstoppable force, they fall to seemingly inferior opponents. Earlier this season, it was a Thursday Night Football loss to the injury-riddled 49ers. And now, the upset by the Panthers. Despite these surprising losses, the Rams’ offense is firing on all cylinders. For weeks, we have seen roughly a 65/35 split in the Rams’ backfield between veteran Kyren Williams and second-year man Blake Corum. Week 13 was no different, with Corum playing 17 snaps to Williams’ 35, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). Even though Corum had only seven carries, he finished with 81 rushing yards and a score. Corum has plenty of value as the clear backup to Williams. If anything were to happen to Williams, Corum would become a must-start in all formats.

Devin Singletary (RB – NYG): 22% Rostered

Next Opponents: BYE, WSH, MIN
True Value: $15
Desperate Need: $23
Budget-Minded: $9

Analysis: Devin Singletary could be immensely valuable down the stretch if Tyrone Tracy misses multiple games. Tracy was carted off the field with a leg injury in the fourth quarter of the Giants’ Monday-night loss to the Patriots. Singletary and Tracy had been splitting work against the Patriots, but Singletary was the far more productive runner for the Giants in Week 13, carrying 12 times for 68 yards and a touchdown, while Tracy ran 10 times for 36 yards. Singletary had three catches for 34 yards, while Tracy’s only target resulted in a catch for minus-3 yards. The Giants are on bye in Week 14, but Singletary gets some favorable running-game matchups for the fantasy playoffs, going against the Commanders, Vikings and Raiders. Hopefully we’ll have more information on Tracy’s injury before you have to put in your FAAB bids, but Singletary warrants a significant expenditure for playoff-bound teams in search of RB help.
