10 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets Heading Into Week 13

Zonovan Knight is one of this week's top waiver adds in season-long fantasy football. Who else needs to be on your radar?

Zonovan Knight Status

rotoWire
Knight rushed 12 times for 22 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 11-6 loss to the Dolphins.

What it means:

Knight burst onto the scene with consecutive 100-yard scrimmage games, but he cooled off after the hot start, totaling only 70 rushing yards on 39 rushing attempts for a paltry 1.8 yards per carry over his last four appearances. The undrafted rookie could factor into the Jets' backfield plans next season, though he'll likely be pushed to a reserve role whenever Breece Hall (knee) is deemed healthy. Knight totaled exactly 300 yards on 85 carries and 13 catches for 100 yards on 14 targets across seven appearances.
rotoWire
Knight carried the ball eight times for 27 yards and caught two of three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-6 loss to the Seahawks.

What it means:

The rookie running back has another disappointing performance despite leading the Jets backfield in touches, albeit barely over Ty Johnson (nine touches). With New York now eliminated from playoff contention, the focus of the team's game plan in Week 18 could be on developing younger players, but Knight's poor numbers the last few games may have already shown the Jets all they needed to see.
rotoWire
Knight rushed six times for minus-2 yards and brought in his only target for 15 yards in the Jets' 19-3 loss to the Jaguars on Thursday night.

What it means:

Knight paced the Jets' running backs in rush attempts, but that was largely irrelevant due to the sparse volume and the non-existent production it led to. Knight's brief moment of success came on his one reception, but he'll head into what is a favorable Week 17 road matchup against the Seahawks with 21 yards on 19 carries over his last two games. Although Knight had put in a full practice Wednesday despite dealing with an ankle issue, the extra time between Thursday and the game against Seattle should benefit the rookie.
rotoWire
Knight (ankle) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Jaguars.

What it means:

Though Ethan B. Greenberg of the Jets' official site noted earlier in the week that Knight came out of a Week 15 loss to Detroit with an ankle issue, the running back wasn't listed on the team's first two Week 16 injury reports, before being listed as full practice participant Wednesday and questionable for Thursday's contest. With Knight's active status confirmed, look for the 5-foot-10, 209-pounder to lead New York's ground game versus Jacksonville barring any setbacks or limitations, with Michael Carter mixing in and Ty Johnson on hand in reserve.

Zonovan Knight (ankle) will play for Jets Thursday night

What it means:

New York Jets running back Zonovan Knight (ankle) will play Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday night. Knight injured his ankle in the Jets' Week 15 loss to the Detroit Lions, but he is ready to roll on the short week. The undrafted rookie is expected to lead the backfield ahead of Michael Carter. After averaging 5.3 yards per touch in his first three games, Knight only mustered 23 yards on 13 carries versus the Lions before exiting early. Knight is numberFire's highest-projected scorer on Thursday night at 13.4 FanDuel points, with 21.4 opportunities for 93.2 yards. Per our advanced efficiency metrics, the Jags have the No. 6 run defense and No. 29 pass defense in the NFL, so the backfield may have a tougher time than the passing game.
rotoWire
Knight (ankle) is on track to play Thursday night against the Jaguars, according to Connor Hughes of SNY.tv.

What it means:

Knight was listed as questionable for the contest after being listed as a full participant at Wednesday's practice, but the running back is in line to be available Thursday night, per Hughes. Official confirmation of Knight's Week 16 status will arrive when the Jets' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 8:15 ET kickoff.
