We're approaching the final few weeks of the fantasy football regular season, and if you're still here, hoping to find a diamond in the rough on the waiver wire, you at least have a fighting chance in your league. You love to see that. Don't lose focus now; keep your eye on the prize, and let's find a potential league winner or two here this week.

The good news this week for fantasy gamers is we have zero bye weeks to contend with. Outside of injuries, you should be dealing with more start/sit issues versus finding eligible bodies to fill your lineup. Many of those questions can be answered by using my rankings, which are first posted on Tuesday evening and updated daily as we approach game day.

This is a weekly reminder that some of you play in leagues where all of the listed players are already owned, while some of you play in IDP leagues where only a few IDP players are rostered overall, so the players listed below might not even be on your radar. If you need specific help, please don't hesitate to reach out. You can jump into our subscriber Discord, find the IDP channel, and tag me with any league-specific questions you may have.

Week 13 IDP Waiver Wire

Linebackers

Tyrel Dodson (Miami Dolphins)

Anthony Walker Jr. went down in the first half of Week 12's game against the Patriots with a hamstring injury, and while it's not believed to be an injury that'll cost him multiple weeks, Miami has a quick turnaround this week. The Dolphins travel to Green Bay for the Thanksgiving nightcap, making Tyrel Dodson an intriguing plug-and-play option this week.

Miami has used two linebackers on the majority of their defensive snaps this season, and Dodson slid right into that role post-Walker last week. The Packers have been extremely run-heavy all season long, with one of the league's lowest pass rates over expectation in the league, even when you subtract the Malik Willis starts from their data.
