Two early fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 13

To the dismay of fantasy managers set to enjoy D'Andre Swift getting a ton of work on Thanksgiving, the talented back was knocked out of the game due to a shoulder injury.

The injury looked really bad at first, but it appears Swift dodged a much worse outcome. Regardless, Jamaal Williams entered in Swift's stead and received the lion's share (no pun intended) of the backfield work against the Bears. Williams turned 20 touches into 65 rush yards and 18 receiving yards.

Look, obviously the Lions aren't exactly everyone's cup of fantasy tea, but they've shown a willingness to involve their running backs in all facets of the game.
