ANDY BEHRENS: It's never too early to make a waiver plan, so let's discuss early pickup options for week 13. Isaiah McKenzie gave us six catches, 96 yards, and a touchdown in Buffalo's narrow Thanksgiving win. Also saw a season-high 10 targets, played a season-high 56 snaps. Generally looked like the guy we were hyping as a potential sleeper during the summer.

On Thursday, this week, he and the Bills are headed to New England. That is the site of McKenzie's one big game last season. Remember when he was filling in for Cole Beasley, caught 11 balls, dozen targets. Excellent effort for him. This is going to be a great spot for McKenzie. His usage headed in the right direction right now. And he's available in almost 2/3 of Yahoo leagues.

Elsewhere, we definitely have an injury situation to track in Jacksonville. Travis Etienne suffered a foot injury against Baltimore. In his absence, JaMycal Hasty had a nice day with 95 total yards, five catches, a touchdown. If Etienne is going to miss time, both Hasty and the recently added Darrell Henderson are going to get interesting for fantasy purposes immediately. Both need to be added in competitive fantasy leagues.
