Welcome to Week 13 of the NFL season. Thankfully, injuries to stud wide receivers have slowed things down a bit and Nico Collins is back for good! Overall, Week 12 brought back some good wide receivers, but it was too late to help many fantasy supporters. Jordan Addison, Jaylen Waddle, DJ Moore, and Keenan Allen round out the top five fantasy receivers. There are plenty of fantasy teams that wish those four players had put up numbers earlier and more often during the season.
Overall, Ja'Marr Chase remains the top fantasy wide receiver despite a bye in Week 12. He still has a nearly 50-point lead over second place Amon-Ra St. Brown in PPR points. Many of the usual suspects are in the phantom top 10, but the newest member is Jackson Smith-Njiba, who moved up to No. 8 WR this season. Over the past three games, JSN has caught 23 of 31 targets for 367 yards and three touchdowns. On paper, DK Metcalf remains the WR1, but Smith-Nijiva has seen a significant increase in usage across the field, and Tyler Lockett has taken a backseat.
Week 13 Wide Receiver Bye-Bye Week
Nothing, but next week there will be 6 so keep an eye out
Week 13 Wide Receiver Injuries
Josh Downs, Colts
Downs suffered a shoulder injury in Week 12 against the Lions. As of now, it seems difficult to get clearance to play against the Patriots this week. If that happens, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, and AD Mitchell should be used even more.
Romeo Douce, Packers
Douce suffered a brain injury in this match. 49ers He won't be ready to play on Thanksgiving, so Dontaevion Wicks should improve his snaps, while Jaden Reed and Christian Watson should improve their shots if used well against opposing teams. is. dolphin on Thursday night.
Caliph Raymond, Lions
Raymond suffered a foot injury in last week's game against the Colts and is not expected to play in Thursday's game against the Bears. His absence could help other pass catchers, but I don't see enough targets in him to make a big change.
devonta smith, eagles
Smith missed last week with a hamstring injury. Apparently injuries were bothering him and he took a week off instead of continuing to play. I hope he can return this week against the Ravens.
Keon Coleman, Bills
Coleman missed the game with a wrist injury, but a bye from last week should have helped some. Let's see if he can fully return to practice.
Darnell Mooney, Falcons
Mooney injured his hamstring in Week 11, but had a one-week recovery period in Week 12, but all reports were positive. I think he's okay, but check the injury report just to be sure.
Week 13 Wide Receiver Sleeper
michael pitman, colts, patriots
Pittman hasn't been a big fantasy player as he continues to play through a back injury, but he ended up scoring 6 of 7 targets last week while Josh Downe was dealing with a shoulder injury. He caught it for 96 yards. Downs appears to have a good chance of missing out this week, and if that happens, Pittman will once again be Richardson's No. 1 target.
Darnell Mooney, Falcons vs. Chargers
of charger The defense has been declining recently, especially against wide receivers. They rank fifth worst in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers over the past five weeks. During this span, he has allowed seven touchdowns and 173.6 yards per game to wide receivers. The Falcons won a bye and will play in their home dome.
