Finding the best guys to fit into your lineup is not always the easiest task when dealing with bye weeks or injuries. Each week we drop three emergency starts that you can fill into your fantasy lineup and avoid a “bust” performance. All the players mentioned are available in 70% or more of Fantasy leagues. Below are three players that can help you win your week in fantasy that are on waivers right now.
Reminder we are answering everyone’s start and sit questions on X
Will Levis QB (TEN)
Don’t look now but Will Levis has been a viable option in the last few weeks. In his last four games, he has scored over 15.6 fantasy points while throwing for 7 touchdowns and only 2 interceptions. Levis has a chance to continue his hot streak against the Jaguars who are the best matchup for quarterbacks this season. The Jaguars are also 31st in the league at limiting explosive pass plays providing Levis the perfect opportunity to hit Calvin Ridley or Nick Westbrook-Ikhine downfield for a big TD. Levis is my favorite emergency QB with multiple bye weeks in Week 14.
Sincere McCormick RB (LV)
The Las Vegas Raiders have had some significant injuries to their running back depth chart, opening some doors for others to make an impact. Undrafted rookie Sincere McCormick took advantage of his opportunity last week against a solid Kansas City Chiefs defense. In the past two weeks, McCormick has averaged 5.7 yards per carry on an offense that has struggled all year to move the ball on the ground. Head coach Antonio Pierce said, “I think it was 12 carries he got, and hopefully we can just bump that up a little bit more this week.” With an increased role ahead and a favorable matchup against the Bucs, McCormick is a perfect option as an emergency RB.
Elijah Moore WR (CLE)
Unlike Levis and McCormick, Elijah Moore has a tough matchup this week against the Steelers, who rank first in the NFL in slot points allowed this season at 7.5 points per game. Moore makes this list due to his recent production having three performances over 16.5 points in his last five games while seeing 48 targets. The Browns have struggled to establish a run game this season, forcing Jameis Winston to throw over 40 passes in four of his five starts. Moore has been averaging over a 20% target share during that stretch and will be in line for another heavy workload with Cedric Tillman out. Moore is a solid flex option this week in PPR formats and is the perfect emergency wide receiver.
