Heading into Week 13, which waiver questions are keeping you up at night, or distracting you at work or school or home or, for all your astronauts, out in space? The things challenging me these days are an uncertain QB situation (Kyler Murray), an unstartable #2 RB (Tyler Johnson), and a surprisingly unstartable flex option (Courtland Sutton). And with only $7 FAAB remaining, and in a 6-way tie for 5th place, I have to choose wisely while in must-win mode.
So if you're a bit stressed about your next moves, you're not alone. And I know some of you don't like to share what you're thinking for good reason, since some of your opponents are also on this page. But obviously, as always reach out if there's anything you want to bounce around.

A few notable news items impacting fantasy teams:
Amari Cooper remains a question mark for Thursday. We'll clearly know more by this time tomorrow, and we'll know everything within 48 hours. If he sits, Michael Gallup would be a borderline must-start option (top-28 WR). Also, Cedrick Wilson hasn't practiced this week. If he's also out, either Noah Brown or Malik Turner could be a deep-league streamer as a #3 wideout.
Alvin Kamara also remains questionable, while Mark Ingram is poised to return. The Tony Jones experiment did not go well last week. If it's the Ingram show, of course fire him up regardless of whether Taysom Hill (questionable) or Trevor Siemian is under center.
Pat Freiermuth is in the concussion protocol. He's been a near-elite fantasy TE since mid-October, and his absence would lower Ben Roethlisberger's ceiling a bit. But I'm sure more of you are interested in Freiermuth than Ben, so let's keep the focus where it belongs.
Finally, news of potential load-management situation for Zeke Elliott appears to be overblown. It's being reported that he'll utilized fairly heavily as usual. Of course, he's exceeded 10 carries only once in his last four games, so we'll see what he does on Thursday.
