Fantasy Football Week 13 Injury Report: Olave Active, Hill Out

As we head into the final stretch of the fantasy football regular season (Week 13), injury news is making or breaking lineups. Here are the most critical updates you need to know for this weekend.

Key Injury Updates

✅ Active / Expected to Play

• Chris Olave (WR, Saints):

  • Status: Despite dealing with back spasms, Olave is active and expected to play against the Dolphins.
  • Fantasy Verdict: Must Start. The injury risk is there, but his ceiling is too high to bench, especially against a Dolphins secondary that can be exploited.

• Darren Waller (TE, Dolphins):

  • Status: The Dolphins have activated Waller from IR (pectoral injury).
  • Fantasy Verdict: Low-end TE1. It's his first game back, so snaps might be limited, but in a desolate TE landscape, he's a viable streamer immediately.

❌ Out / Season Ending

• Tyreek Hill (WR, Dolphins):

  • Status: Out for Season (Week 4 injury).
  • Impact: This continues to be a massive blow for the Dolphins' offense. Jaylen Waddle and the returning Darren Waller will see increased targets.

• Alvin Kamara (RB, Saints):

  • Status: Out.
  • Impact: The Saints' ground game takes a hit. Look for backups to share the load.

Waiver Wire Targets (Week 13+)

With Hill out and Kamara sidelined, here are players to target if they are still available:

1. Khalil Shakir (WR, Bills):

   • Why: 8 catches for 110 yards last week. He faces the Steelers this week, who allow the most fantasy points to WRs.
   • Verdict: WR3 / Flex Play.

2. Parker Washington (WR, Jaguars):

   • Why: Emerging as a reliable target for Trevor Lawrence.
   • Verdict: Deep league stash or desperation flex.

3. Juwan Johnson (TE, Saints):

   • Why: 2 TDs in his last 3 games. He's been a TE1 over the last month and faces the Dolphins (29th vs TEs).
   • Verdict: Top Streamer.

Kicker Streamers

Need a kicker? Here are the top 5 plays for Week 13:

1. Brandon Aubrey (Cowboys)
2. Jason Myers (Seahawks)
3. Cam Little (Jaguars)
4. Ka'imi Fairbairn (Texans)
5. Tyler Loop (Ravens)

Good luck in Week 13! Secure that playoff spot!
