Injuries Open Door for Mattison, Hubbard

NFL Week 13 - Down to the last two weeks of byes, it's handcuff season. There isn't much time to cultivate the trust of potential late-season fantasy breakouts such as Phillip Lindsay and D'Onta Foreman. So in many cases, the best use of the fantasy bench spots that clear when you drop your fill-in kickers and defenses are the handcuffs to your star running backs. The backups for ailing stars such as Tony Pollard, Mark Ingram, and the No. 1 waiver wire option for this week are obvious targets. But I suggest you also consider the likes of Ronald Jones, Khalil Herbert, and Sony Michel if their starters' injuries could derail your run to a fantasy title.
