Hello again! Here are my Week 13 fantasy football notes.

 

Chicago at Detroit

The Chicago offense has been on a tear the past two weeks, especially through the air. That trend goes heads up with a Lions defense that has been equally powerful of late. It’s a combination that makes Caleb Williams a QB2, the Bears wide receivers WR3/flex candidates and Cole Kmet a bench candidate despite posting 13.4 PPR points last week. D’Andre Swift is an exception, but even he may struggle and score fewer than 10 PPR points for the third time in four weeks.

 

New York Giants at Dallas

Malik Nabers has been a solid WR2 for the past month or so and has even kept that pace up with a backup quarterback. With Tommy DeVito potentially missing this game or being at less than 100 percent, Nabers may be challenged to continue that scoring pace. Rate him as one of the more volatile WR3/flex candidates this week and don’t start him if it can be avoided.

 

Miami at Green Bay

This is a week to sit Jayden Reed. He’s scored fewer than 10 PPR points in four of his past five games and this matchup doesn’t portend for a strong point total.

That matchup is also a solid reason to consider Jordan Love a QB2 this week, especially since the Packers are likely to go after the Dolphins defense with the ground game more than the passing game.

Las Vegas at Kansas City

Isiah Pacheco is slated to make his return this week. Andy Reid isn’t likely to move Pacheco to a lead back role right off the bat, so look for Pacheco and Kareem Hunt to operate in a platoon environment this week. That gives them both borderline RB2/RB3/flex value versus a middling Raiders defense.
