Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings for Week 13: Troy Franklin, Jaylen Waddle, Justin Jefferson and More
Morgan gives his week 13 fantasy football rankings for wide receivers.
Let's continue ranking fantasy football players for week 13 by looking at wide receivers.
We have already looked at quarterbacks and running backs. Check back in a bit for a tight end ranking story.
Check out week 13 fantasy football projections for wide receivers on FantasySP as well.
JSN has been a steady high-end fantasy wideout all season, and now is the best on a per-week basis.
I have him ranked first for week 13 as he prepares for the Vikings. Minnesota is a tough matchup, but it's hard to bet against Smith-Njigba at this point.
2. Puka Nacua
Nacua slides to the No. 2 slot going into a game against the Panthers.
That's another tough matchup, so he doesn't gain any edge over JSN.
Chase missed week 12 because of a suspension. He returns in week 13, and might have Joe Burrow throwing to him again.
Chase has a very good matchup against Baltimore, and should contend for the top fantasy WR spot by the end of the week.
4. Nico Collins
Collins has held relatively in check in week 12, but still scored 8.5 PPR points, which is probably about his fantasy floor.
The Colts are a favorable matchup for him in week 13, so I expect Collins to bounce back with a big fantasy outing.
St. Brown had a big game to help the Lions past the Giants last week.
He now has a tough test coming against the Packers, who limited him to 45 yards on four catches and six targets back in week 1.
6. CeeDee Lamb
Lamb has been overshadowed by his teammate of late, but I still like Lamb as the top pass catcher in Dallas.
He's got a tougher test against the Chiefs in week 13, but I like the elite wideout to get the job done.
7. Rashee Rice
Rice's status is one to watch, but I expect him to be out there in week 13 after a huge week 12 performance.
Dallas is a stellar fantasy matchup, so this ranking might end up being far too low for Rice.
All Adams seems to do is score touchdowns - he has nine over the past five contests.
Again, Carolina is a tougher matchup, but I'm not betting against Nacua, Adams and this Rams' offense.
Pickens' status is one to watch as well, but I see him playing in week 13.
He has been a fantasy stud of late, and I think he lands in the top 10 again despite a tougher matchup.
10. Drake London
In a common theme, London's status needs to be watched after he missed week 12.
He has the Jets in week 13, with New York being a tougher test, but nothing too crazy. I expect London to shine if he's back out there.
11. Chris Olave
Olave continues to deliver as one of the few New Orleans proven pass-catching options.
Miami is a tougher matchup for him, but on volume alone, I see Olave posting a good fantasy score.
12. Ladd McConkey
McConkey, and the rest of the LA offense, struggled the last time we saw them.
The Raiders are a very favorable matchup for McConkey, and I see him shining as the Chargers' offense bounces back.
13. A.J. Brown
Brown is back as the Eagles' top pass-catching option, and he needs one more good week before being a top-10 candidate.
The Bears are an above-average matchup for him, so I expect Brown to post a big score and keep trending upward.
14. Justin Jefferson
Jefferson has fallen off since J.J. McCarthy has returned. Max Brosmer could replace the concussed McCarthy in week 13, but regardless of who starts, I'm down on Jefferson.
Seattle is a tougher matchup on paper, so that's another reason why I have him ranked so low.
15. Jaylen Waddle
Waddle has mostly been great since becoming the Dolphins' WR1.
The Saints are a slightly below-average matchup for Waddle, so that's why I'm a bit lower on him in week 13.
McMillan regressed along with the rest of the Carolina offense in week 12, but he scored again to post a big fantasy score.
He's got a pretty average matchup coming against the Rams, so this ranking seems perfect for the rookie.
17. Zay Flowers
Flowers has been incredibly consistent over the past five weeks, and that's without any touchdowns helping him out.
He actually has a bit tougher test coming against the Bengals, but I see him as a good starting option across the board.
18. Emeka Egbuka
Egbuka has fallen off since getting injured. He has just one double-digit fantasy outing in the past six games.
He's got a slightly below-average test against the Cardinals, and might not have Baker Mayfield out there. It adds up to a lower ranking for the Bucs' rookie.
19. Michael Pittman
Pittman scored last week to salvage an otherwise down fantasy outing.
That came in a tougher test, and now he has the toughest test against the Texans. I still expect him to finish inside the top 20.
Robinson went off last week, and now will look to keep things rolling against the Patriots.
New England is an average test, so I see him being a pretty good option again for week 13.
21. Troy Franklin
I'm giving Franklin the top wideout ranking among Denver wideouts for this week.
A super favorable matchup against the Commanders gives him a good fantasy outlook, so we'll see if he can take advantage of things.
22. Marvin Harrison or Michael Wilson
I'm again listing Harrison and Wilson together for week 13. I just don't see both piling up points if they are both active.
A pretty favorable test against the Buccaneers should help the top guy be a near top-20 fantasy wideout though.
23. Stefon Diggs
Diggs was finally slowed last week, but I see him getting back on track in week 13 against the Giants.
Why? New York is one of the most favorable fantasy matchups in the league. He'd rank a lot higher if not for last week's dud.
24. Courtland Sutton
Sutton is still the team's top wideout, but he's finished behind Franklin too much of late to have him ranked higher.
That favorable test against the Commanders should help both Denver wideouts to good fantasy showings.
25. Deebo Samuel Sr.
Samuel didn't play in week 12 with the Commanders on a bye, but he's scored a TD in two straight. He'd be helped out if Terry McLaurin were to miss another game.
Denver is a very tough matchup, otherwise I'd have ranked him higher.
26. DeVonta Smith
Smith was good in week 12 despite Brown getting his.
They haven't been sharing good fantasy outings often, so I have Smith falling back despite the above-average matchup against Chicago.
27. Khalil Shakir
Shakir was heavily involved in week 12, and I like his matchup for week 13 against the Steelers.
If Dalton Kincaid and Keon Coleman are unavailable again, Shakir could really star - I have him ranked here expecting Kincaid and Coleman back in the picture.
28. Brian Thomas
Thomas' status needs to be watched, as he's injured and hasn't played in a bit.
If he can return for week 13, he'll have a great matchup against the Titans. I have him in the top 30 if he can take the field.
29. Quentin Johnston
I'm going back to Johnston despite him posting a goose egg in the team's last game.
Las Vegas is a great matchup, so he could deliver despite McConkey having a nice game too.
30. Christian Watson
Watson finished just shy of 10 PPR points in week 12, and that was without a touchdown.
He looks like WR1 in Green Bay, and has a pretty favorable test coming against the Lions. Even if Jaylen Reed and Matthew Golden return, I see Watson being worth the No. 30 ranking.
