Week 13 of the 2017 regular season is just about coming to a close with the Monday Night game remaining. Most fantasy football leagues will run their waiver wires late Tuesday or early Wednesday, but we are here to help you get a jump on the best options to consider.

We will be ranking the top five players likely to be available in your league at each of the four major positions. Some weeks there might not be five good options available, but we’ll scour for the best we can find. Additionally, throughout the week, we will update each of these articles as ownership percentages change and news arrives. The following ownership percentages come via CBS Sportsline entering Week 14.
No touchdowns this time for the Sensation with Hyphenation, but Seals-Jones was still active with five targets from Blaine Gabbert, catching two for 44 yards. Seals-Jones has at least five targets in each of his three games since becoming Gabbert’s binkie. It’s not a fluke.
Julius Thomas, Miami Dolphins (26)
Thomas delivered in his revenge game against the Broncos with a touchdown catch, one of his three on the day. Thomas was targeted only three times, but he had 24 targets in the previous four games, so he’s been consistently productive in this surprisingly decent pass offense.
The 29th overall selection in the 2017 draft, Njoku followed up a four-catch game in Week 12 with four more catches on six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers. He now has the most touchdown catches for a rookie tight end in Browns history and his 74 yards were a season high. He could be a high-upside play down the stretch.
With C.J. Fiedorowicz, Bruce Ellington and Braxton Miller knocked out of Sunday’s game, Anderson became the No. 2 target behind DeAndre Hopkins and soaked up 12 targets, catching five for 79 yards and a touchdown. Keep an eye on Houston’s injury report this week, especially Fiedorowicz. If any of that injured trio remains out, Anderson showed he’s capable of stepping up in a big way.
Keep an eye on the No. 2 tight end to Jimmy Graham. He had a pair of catches, including a touchdown, on four targets in Week 12 and was active again on Sunday night against the Eagles. If anything were to happen to Graham — and that’s always a possibility — Vannett would become a terrific option.
