Ryan Fitzpatrick- QB- Jets
If you are looking for a free agent quarterback with favorable matchup in week 13, take peek at Ryan Fitzpatrick. Last week against the Patriots, Fitzpatrick completed 22 passes for 269 yards and two score. This week the Jets face the Colts, who have one of the worst pass defense in the league. The Colts have given up the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks all season. If you are in desperate need of a quarterback in week 13, pick up Fitzpatrick for a buck.

Dwayne Washington- RB- Lions
While Lions running back Dwayne Washington isn’t the ideal running back for fantasy owners, he might be someone you might want to consider picking up and starting if you have awful running back depth. This week the Lions face the Saints, who have one of the worst rushing defenses in the league. The Saints have given up the second most fantasy points to running backs this year. Theo Riddick is the starter, but the Lions really like to utilize him in the passing game. Washington will most likely see double digit attempts and will have opportunities to put the ball in the pay dirt. If you are desperate, pick up Washington for a buck and start him this week.

Dorial Green-Beckham- WR- Eagles
The former Titan wide out is starting to find his place in the national football league with the Eagles. In the last two weeks, Green-Beckham has 18 targets, and he’s recorded 11 receptions for 136 yards and one touchdown. Part of the reason Green-Beckham’s targets have increased is due to an injury in the second quarter Monday night to Jordan Matthews and also because Nelson Agholor was scratched from the game. Depending on Matthews’ status next week, fantasy owners might want to pick up Green-Beckham for a dollar this week.

Taylor Gabriel- WR- Falcons
Fantasy owners should seriously consider picking up Taylor Gabriel this week for a buck. Gabriel has double digit fantasy points in his last four games and it looks like he has surpassed Mohamed Sanu as the number two wide out on the falcons depth chart. Last week against the Cardinals, he recorded four receptions for 75 yards and two scores. The Falcons face the Chiefs defense, who has surprisingly given up the most fantasy points to wide receivers all year. Pick up and start Gabriel as a sleeper in week 13.

Kenneth Dixon- RB- Ravens
Fantasy owners might want to look at rookie running back Kenneth Dixon this week as the Ravens face the Dolphins in an important game for both teams. Dixon had more touches than Terrance West for the first time all season last week against the Bengals. Dixon had 13 rushes for 49 yards and four receptions for 31 yards on Sunday. He should already be picked up in dynasty leagues, but you might be able to get him for a buck in standard and keeper leagues this week.

Zach Ertz- TE- Eagles
The once talented prospect out of Stanford, Zach Ertz, is surprisingly available in many leagues this late in the season. While Ertz hasn’t put up huge numbers this year, in the last four games he’s seen plenty of targets. Since week 9, he’s recorded 23 receptions for 223 yards and one score. The Eagle face the Bengals this week, who has given up the 5th most fantasy points to tight ends in 2016. I expect Ertz to be one of the leading wide outs on the Eagles’ team for the rest of the year, and you can get him for a buck this week.
