No teams are on a bye this week. Josh Downs is doubtful with an injury, while DeVonta Smith and Cedric Tillman are questionable. Below are the wide receiver rankings, tiers, and analysis for Week 13.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Wide Receivers Rankings for Week 13 Fantasy Football<\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Tier 1: Alpha Wide Receivers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Ja\u2019Marr Chase<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Amon-Ra St. Brown<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Justin Jefferson<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Nico Collins<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Puka Nacua<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Cooper Kupp<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. A.J. Brown<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collins returned to his full complement of snaps in Week 12, catching five of nine targets for 92 yards and one touchdown. His day could have been much better, but his second touchdown was called back due to a penalty. Collins has a great matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jaguars\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jaguars<\/a>, who have given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers on the season. Collins is a top-five fantasy wide receiver in the rankings for Week 13 and the rest of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brown had a big performance in Week 12, scoring 22.9 fantasy points on six catches for 109 yards and one touchdown. Without DeVonta Smith, Brown was Jalen Hurts\u2019 top target all night. He has a great matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/ravens\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Ravens<\/a>, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Expect a big game for Brown in Week 13.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tier 2: Low-End WR1s to High-End WR2s<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. CeeDee Lamb<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Drake London<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Garrett Wilson<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11. Ladd McConkey<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12. Tyreek Hill<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13. DK Metcalf<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14. Mike Evans<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quarterback Cooper Rush has been pampering Lamb with targets. He has 12 targets in each of the last two games. He had 10 catches for 67 yards in the Week 12 victory. Even with the lack of yards and touchdown opportunities, his target share is keeping him as a top fantasy wide receiver. Lamb is in tier two of the wide receiver rankings for the Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/giants\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Giants<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evans returned from injury in Week 12 with a solid performance. He had five catches for 68 yards on six targets. The <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/buccaneers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Buccaneers<\/a> did not have to pass much as they led the entire game. Evans should have a bigger game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/panthers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Panthers<\/a> this week.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tier 3: Solid WR2s<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15. Courtland Sutton<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">16. George Pickens<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17. Marvin Harrison Jr<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">18. Terry McLaurin<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">19. Zay Flowers<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">20. Tee Higgins<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">21. Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">22. Brian Thomas Jr<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">23. Malik Nabers<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">24. Calvin Ridley<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sutton is on a hot streak, finishing as a top-six fantasy wide receiver in three of the last four weeks. He had a big game last week, catching eight passes for 97 yards and two touchdowns. Sutton was the WR2 on the week and is quarterback Bo Nix\u2019s favorite target, earning at least eight targets in five straight games. Sutton continues to move up on the wide receiver rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Courtland Sutton the last 5 Weeks: <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca5 Week 8: 17.1 PPR Points<br \/>\ud83d\udca5 Week 9: 23.2 PPR Points<br \/>\ud83d\udca5 Week 10: 19.0 PPR Points<br \/>\ud83d\udca5 Week 11: 14.8 PPR Points<br \/>\ud83d\udca5 Week 12: 29.7 PPR Points (Career High) <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/2zlqbAlkyI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/2zlqbAlkyI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; PFF Fantasy &amp; Betting (@PFF_Fantasy) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PFF_Fantasy\/status\/1861081159620575333?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 25, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smith-Njigba continued his great stretch, finishing as a top-15 wide receiver for the third straight week. He had six catches for 77 yards and one touchdown in the Week 12 victory. Smith-Njigba has a yard per catch of at least 11 in four straight weeks, but is doing it with a low average depth of target. He is dominating in yards after the catch. JSN has a tougher matchup this week against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/jets\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Jets<\/a>, but he is a solid WR2 for now.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tier 4: WR3s<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">25. Khalil Shakir<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">26. D.J. Moore<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">27. Darnell Mooney<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">28. DeVonta Smith*<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">29. Davante Adams<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">30. Jerry Jeudy<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">31. Jakobi Meyers<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">32. Jayden Reed<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moore finally had a good game, finishing as a top-25 fantasy wide receiver for the first time since Week 5. He caught all seven of his targets for 106 yards and a touchdown. This was also his first touchdown catch since Week 5. Hopefully, this game gets Caleb Williams, Moore and the entire <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bears\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Bears<\/a> offense going. They should be able to succeed against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/lions\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Lions<\/a> secondary, who are in the top five for most fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meyers had 15 targets for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/raiders\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Raiders<\/a> in their loss. He caught 10 of them for 121 yards. He finished as a top-ten fantasy wide receiver for the second time this season. The Raiders offense is a two-man team with Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers. Unfortunately, Gardner Minshew is out for the season with a broken collarbone. The<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arrowheadaddict.com\/what-gardner-minshew-injury-means-kc-chiefs-vs-raiders-on-black-friday-01jdgdfpn4pv\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offense will take a hit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> with either Aidan O\u2019Connell or Desmond Ridder at quarterback. However, Meyers\u2019 target share keeps him as a viable WR3.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>*Smith missed the Week 12 game with a hamstring injury and is questionable for Week 13.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tier 5: FLEX Plays<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">33. Deebo Samuel<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">34. Jauan Jennings<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">35. Jameson Williams<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36. Xavier Legette<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">37. Cedric Tillman*<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">38. Amari Cooper<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">39. DeAndre Hopkins<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">40. Xavier Worthy<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Samuel continued his struggles by only catching one pass from Brandon Allen on four targets. The entire <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/49ers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">49ers<\/a> offense took a hit without Purdy. Purdy is questionable for the Week 13 game against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">Bills<\/a>. Without Purdy, Samuel is only a FLEX option at best for the tough matchup in Buffalo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>*Tillman left the Week 12 game with a concussion and is questionable for this week as he tries to clear concussion protocol.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Main Photo Courtesy of Troy Taormina &#8211; Imagn Images<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wide Receiver rankings, tiers, and analysis for Week 13 of the fantasy football season to make informed decisions to set your lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5257,"featured_media":202040,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[32545,2320,32602,2679],"class_list":["post-201896","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","tag-fantasy-football-2024","tag-nfl-schedule","tag-wide-receiver-rankings","tag-wide-receivers"],"modified_by":"Drew VonScio","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201896","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5257"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=201896"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/201896\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/202040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201896"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=201896"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=201896"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
