Lucky enough to secure a bye last night (thank you L. Jackson). For those fortunate enough, it's time to ignore the upcoming week and focus in on weeks 14-16.
I'm officially looking at the end of my roster and look to rid myself of garbage and replacing it with upside plays that could hit during the playoffs due to matchups.
Here's a stab at targets based on what I see on my wire. I'm sure there are other options out there:
QB
* N. Foles -- LAC, @OAK, @ATL -- Weeks 15 and 16 look great.
* R. Fitzpatrick -- @NYJ, @NYG, CIN -- Don't laugh. Fitzy is still slinging it.
* D. Jones -- @PHI, MIA, @WSH -- Maybe the NYG end the season on a positive note.
RB
* R. Penny -- @LAR, @CAR, ARI -- Probably the #1 waiver add this week. Weeks 15 and 16 look great.
* J. Ajayi -- NYG, @WSH, DAL -- Howard's injury sounds more serious. If Ajayi can get in a groove he could offer flex value.
* R. Armstead -- LAC, @OAK, @ATL -- Premium handcuff with a good schedule.
* P. Laird/M. Gaskins -- @NYJ, @NYG, CIN -- I'm watching this situation carefully since Ballage is terrible. Miami's schedule offers sneaky opportunity down the stretch and they're playing hard under Flores.
WR
* C. Davis -- @OAK, HOU, NO -- I feel like I've picked up and dropped Davis 5 times this year. TN on a roll and weeks 14 and 15 are tasty. Watch him catch a little fire so he's over drafted next year.
* A. Tate, A. Erickson -- @CLE, NE, @MIA -- Skip the NE matchup. With Dalton back, Cinci's offense should improve. Assume AJ doesn't hit the field again.
TE
* J. Doyle -- @TB, @NO, CAR -- Schedule not great after week 14, but he should have volume. Another big waiver pickup this week if he's out there. Ebron on IR.
* M. Gesicki -- Again, Miami's schedule. He's getting targets. Caught a TD Sunday.
* D. Njuko -- CIN, @ARI, BAL -- CLE could catch fire down the stretch. Weeks 14 and 15 fantastic matchups.
D
* PHI -- NYG, @WSH, DAL -- Will need to avoid in week 16. I currently have rostered.
* NYJ -- MIA, @BAL, PIT -- I'm targeting on waivers tonight to pair with PHI. Looking at that week 16 matchup with PIT who basically have no QB.
* GB -- WSH, CHI, @MIN -- Not the best D, but solid matchups weeks 14 and 15.

Too many to list here, but the time is now to look at kickers with what looks like high O/Us where their team will be favored (and ideally playing indoors).
Feel free to add to the list. And let's secure a bunch of GREEN matchups for weeks 14-16. The time to plan is now.
