Week 13 Waiver Wire: Riley Cooper and Others To Add

There aren't necessarily any "must-adds" heading in Week 13, but there are a few players that could contribute just enough to get you into your fantasy football playoffs.

Check the waiver wire for these guys. 

Roy Helu, Washington Redskins

This is about the fifth time Helu has appeared in one of my waiver-wire articles. Mike Shanahan was ready to commit to the rookie runner, but after his 108-yard rushing performance against the Seahawks, Helu finally has the title of "feature back."

Remember he added seven catches for 54 yards as well last week.

Don't be scared away by his matchup with the Jets. Even if he doesn't have a huge day on the ground, Rex Grossman will look for him often as a check-down option.

Riley Cooper, Philadelphia Eagles

Vince Young has targeted Cooper 17 times in two weeks and Tim Tebow's college roommate has hauled in eight passes for 176 yards with a touchdown. 

Jeremy Maclin has already been ruled out for Thursday's game with the Seahawks, and we know where DeSean Jackson stands in Andy Reid's eyes.

Mike Vick won't play either. 

Riley Cooper, the No. 1 Eagles wideout?

Kyle Orton, Kansas City Chiefs

Orton has to start this week, right?

If Todd Haley wants to keep his job, I'd say yes.

Orton is undoubtedly a better option than Tyler Palko. 

The former Broncos quarterback won't have a huge day against a very opportunistic Bears that can rush the passer, but Chicago is 30th against the pass.

Don't forget that. 

If you're hurting at the signal-caller spot, add Orton; he should have a decent day.
