Week 13 PPR Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings
Michael Pittman Jr. falling, Brandon Aiyuk rising? Who else rounds out the top 25?
Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs, Opponent: Denver Broncos
The Broncos have the 10th best pass defense, but that won’t matter for Hill who has been on fire recently. Expect Hill to have another 20 fantasy point day vs the Broncos.
Cooper Kupp, Los Angeles Rams, Opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars
Jacksonville ranks in the bottom 15 percent of pass defense which will allow Kupp to have another solid game. However, unless Van Jefferson or Odell Beckham Jr. gets going to take defenders off of Kupp, it could be a tough 20 fantasy points to get for Kupp. Either way, he will get it.
Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings, Opponent: Detroit Lions
The Lions have an actually somewhat decent pass defense ranking 18th in the NFL. However, Jefferson will dominate them with 100 receiving yards and a touchdown.
CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys, Opponent: New Orleans Saints
Lamb is healthy and even if Amari Cooper is 100 percent tonight, Lamb is still in for a huge day as the Cowboys WR1.
Terry McLaurin, Washington Football Team, Opponent: Las Vegas Raiders
Scary Terry is one of the best receivers in the NFL and the Raiders are a favorable matchup for him. Slot him in at WR1 with confidence.
Marquise Brown, Baltimore Ravens, Opponent: Pittsburgh Steelers
Too high for Brown? Maybe since Jackson had 4 interceptions and couldn’t get the passing attack going last weekend against the Browns. However, that may be exactly why he has a huge game since Jackson will bounce back against a Steelers team that has given up 40+ points two weeks in a row.
Ja’Marr Chase, Cincinnati Bengals, Opponent: Los Angeles Chargers
Chase is Burrow’s WR1 even after a couple of “down” weeks. The Chargers defense can’t guard air right now and Chase is due for a massive 100 yard 1-2 touchdown performance against them.
Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Opponent: Atlanta Falcons
Brady’s struggles can’t last forever. Evans is Brady’s #1 receiver and should have a confidence booster game against the Falcons.
Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers, Opponent: Cincinnati Bengals
Mike Williams started out hot but it’s slow and steady that wins the race, right? Allen has been elite all year long and even though he hasn’t had Mike Williams’ 30+ fantasy performances, he is a sure thing to get your team 15+ fantasy points every single week. Herberts #1 option should have a huge game against the Bengals in a high-scoring matchup.
Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins, Opponent: New York Giants
Waddle’s rise to receiver superstardom has a lot to do with the Dolphins 4 game win streak. The Dolphins are clicking on all cylinders and Waddle should still have a great game even with an unfavorable matchup against the Giants.
Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers, Opponent: Seattle Seahawks ‘
Expect Aiyuk to be a discount Deebo Samuel this weekend against the Seahawks rushing for some yards and pulling in 5-10 receptions as well. Aiyuk should have a monster week, but you never know, especially in a rivalry game in Seattle.
DK Metcalf, Seattle Seahawks, Opponent: San Francisco 49ers
Metcalf is coming off of a 2 point fantasy game but he matches up extremely well against the 49ers’ sloppy secondary so expect him to have a bounce-back game this weekend.
Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills, Opponent: New England Patriots
Diggs is Josh Allen’s #1 receiver but this weekend is a tough matchup against the Patriots and I do not trust hi moo put up over 15 fantasy points. This is a trap game for the Bills who may not get anything going on offense the whole game.
Adam Thielen, Minnesota Vikings, Opponent: Detroit Lions
Coming off of a 2 touchdown performance, Thielen is going up against the 0-10-1 Lions so expect him to have another good game. However, I think that Justin Jefferson will have a much better game.
Tyler Lockett, Seattle Seahawks, Opponent: San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers have a shady secondary and it is obviously the worst part of their team, meaning Lockett should get loads of long-ball opportunities on mismatches. Slot him in at WR2.
Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers, Opponent: Baltimore Ravens
The Steelers’ WR1, Johnson is as consistent as they come as hes put up over 15 fantasy points in 8 out of the 10 games he has played this season. Slot him in at WR2.
Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Opponent: Atlanta Falcons
With so many weapons being on the Bucs, Godwin’s production fluctuates. I personally would start him this week since he has a favorable matchup against the Falcons.
Kendrick Bourne, New England Patriots, Opponent: Buffalo Bills
Bourne as high as 18?! You have to be kidding right? No, Kendrick Bourne had 2 touchdowns three weeks ago and 2 touchdowns again last weekend. Expect him to have a solid game even against the #1 Bills defense.
Darnell Mooney, Chicago Bears, Opponent: Arizona Cardinals
Mooney has had back-to-back 17+ fantasy point days but the Cardinals prove to be a big threat which is why Mooney is lower than expected. I think Mooney will pull in 5 receptions for 70 yards, but unless he gets a touchdown reception, his production could be limited this week.
DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles, Opponent: New York Jets
Don’t listen to Jalen Hurts haters. Smith will dominate the WORST defense in the NFL assuming he plays. He is listed as questionable right now but Smith will get 100 yards receiving if he does end up playing.
Van Jefferson, Los Angeles Rams, Opponent: Jacksonville Jaguars
Jefferson had a fantastic week again against the Packers and should build off of that success as the Rams clear #2 receiver this weekend against Jacksonville.
Hunter Renfrow, Las Vegas Raiders, Opponent: Washington Football Team
Renfrow is a reception machine and even against a good Washington defense, expect him to catch 7+ passes.
Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts, Opponent: Houston Texans
Pittman Jr. hasn’t been the same Pittman Jr. we’ve grown accustomed to seeing recently. He has had back-to-back dud weeks and I don’t know if he can figure it out against the Texans. I guess we will see but I am out on Pittman Jr. this weekend.
Jerry Jeudy, Denver Broncos, Opponent: Kansas City Chiefs
The #1 receiver on the Broncos will have to have a great game if the Broncos want any shot of winning this divisional game. I think Jeudy pulls in 5 receptions for 80+ yards but his fantasy upside is limited in this matchup against the Chiefs.
Brandin Cooks, Houston Texans: Opponent: Indianapolis Colts
Cooks is coming off of a big week and is obviously Tyrod Taylor’s favorite target. Expect a good game from Cooks against the Colts.
