Week 13 Waiver Wire: The Latest Tips on Fantasy Football Steals

With Week 12 in the rear-view mirror, let's take a look at some of the top waiver-wire pickups available in Week 13.

Roy Helu, Washington Redskins

Helu finally got his chance to be the Redskins' primary option on Sunday, and he rushed for more than 100 yards and a score against the Seahawks stout run defense.

If that doesn't get him another shot at being the No. 1 guy next week, I don't know what does.

Donald Brown, Indianapolis Colts

One of the Colts' lone bright spots this season has been Donald Brown, who carried the load on Sunday and rushed for 80 yards and a touchdown against the Panthers. Joseph Addai is getting healthy, but Brown should be the back in Indy getting the touches down the stretch.

C.J. Spiller, Buffalo Bills

With Fred Jackson on the shelf for the season, Spiller is getting his chance as the lead guy in Buffalo.

He held up against a tough Jets run defense, and the matchups down the stretch give him starting ability in most formats. 

Maurice Morris, Detroit Lions

Kevin Smith took Morris' spot in the starting lineup after a couple of big stat lines, but Smith had to leave the Lions' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Packers on a cart and likely won't be available for a week or two.

Morris, who had 120 total yards in relief on Thursday, will again get enough touches in Detroit to be on a fantasy roster.

Toby Gerhart, Minnesota Vikings

The numbers weren't great in Atlanta (17 carries, 44 yards, TD), but the Vikings showed a commitment to the run and gave Gerhart a handful of goal-line carries.

With Adrian Peterson's ankle still iffy, Gerhart should be safe to start another week.

Greg Little, Cleveland Browns

He's been the Browns' No. 1 receiving target for the better part of two months, but Little finally found the end zone on Sunday against the Bengals.

If he can keep scoring touchdowns, Little can have a big fantasy impact down the stretch.

Johnny Knox, Chicago Bears

The snap counts and targets are returning for Knox, who had been a lost man in the Bears offense for a handful of games prior.

On Sunday against the Raiders, Knox caught four passes for 145 yards and a score.  Knox is averaging almost 23 yards a catch in 2011, too.
