10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 13
J.D. McKissic, RB, Seattle Seahawks

With C.J. Prosise on injured reserve, J.D. McKissic is becoming a valuable asset for the Seahawks.
Seattle's running game is broken -- that's the simple truth of the matter. Their top two leading rushers are their quarterback and a running back (Chris Carson) who only played in four games.
Due to these confluence of factors, the Seahawks have turned to using McKissic in the short passing game as a substitute for their ground attack as McKissic nearly out-snapped Eddie Lacy in Week 12, and that was a game with a positive game script for the 'Hawks.

McKissic has at least four rushing attempts and four receptions in each of his past three games. In this past game in Week 12, McKissic actually tied for the team lead in targets with seven. In this explosive Seattle offense, the role McKissic has carved out is valuable in PPR formats.
