Top 10 Player Props For NFL Week 13

Sat Nov 30 3:48am ET
Field Level Media

This time of year can be difficult for bettors. It is not unusual for a struggling NFL team to play well for a day and keep it close against a better team. But if taking such a bet does not sound like a good idea, give one (or more) of the hundreds of player props a try.

With three games on Thanksgiving and another on Black Friday, there are fewer games than usual. However, there are still hundreds of NFL player props available. To help you decide which to bet on, here is our top 10 list of player props for Sunday's Week 13 slate.

NFL Week 13: Player Props

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Pat Freiermuth, four-plus receptions at +194 (FanDuel)

Freiermuth had four last week in the loss to the Browns and at least that many in each of the first four games of the season. But against a passing team like the Bengals, the Steelers will likely need every weapon in their arsenal to keep up with the Cincinnati passing game. The Bengals' defense has taken it relatively easy on tight ends this year. So, whether the Steelers are trying to catch up or control the ball, there is a good chance Freiermuth plays a bigger part than usual and makes four-plus receptions.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Carolina Panthers

Bryce Young, O/U 195.5 at -114/-114 (FanDuel)

Those of us who have not paid much attention to the Carolina Panthers this season might be surprised to hear that Bryce Young has been playing pretty well since returning to the starting lineup. He's thrown for 200-plus yards in two of his past four games and is completing 60-plus percent of his passes. Tampa Bay has a solid run defense. Since the Bucs will probably throw early and often, the Panthers will need Young to throw the ball to catch up and/or be competitive. With how well Young is playing right now, we'll take the OVER.

Indianapolis Colts vs. New England Patriots

Drake Maye, O/U 220.5 passing yards at -115/-115 (DraftKings)

Maye threw for more than 220 passing yards against the Rams and Dolphins, two solid defenses, in his past two games. The Colts' defense ranks No. 27 in pass defense and has seen opponents average 34 pass attempts and 231.7 yards per game over the past three. Maye has averaged right around 34 attempts and 230 yards over his past three. Take the OVER.

Los Angeles Rams vs. New Orleans Saints

Kyren Williams, O/U 19.5 rushing attempts at -102/-128 (FanDuel)

O/U 82.5 rushing yards at -113/-113 (FanDuel)

O/U 11.5 receiving yards (DraftKings)

Williams had 16, 15, and 15 carries the past three weeks but had 20-plus in the previous four and has averaged 18.8 per game this season. But he'll be facing a New Orleans Saints team that has seen opponents run the ball 26.7 times per game and 27.8 at home. The Rams tend to run a little less on the road, but they are fighting to remain in the playoff conversation (just like the Saints). To that end, they'll put the ball in the hands of their playmaker rather than spread the touches among multiple backs.

New Orleans has been giving up 134.2 yards per game on the ground but has been especially weak against the run at home (163.2 yards per game). Wiliams has gone for over 82.5 yards in three of the five games in which he had 20-plus carries.

But against a Saints team giving up 160-plus at home, take the OVER.

Williams has not been targeted in the passing game the past two weeks (three total). In the eight games where he had at least one catch, he finished with under 11.5 yards in three. He is not a priority in the passing game. Take the UNDER.

Houston Texans vs. Jacksonville Jaguars

C.J. Stroud, O/U 259.5 passing yards at -115/-115 (BetMGM)

Tank Dell, O/U 51.5 receiving yards at -113/-113 (FanDuel)

O/U 4.5 receptions at +130/-170 (FanDuel)

Nico Collins, O/U longest reception 26.5 yards at -130/+100 (BetMGM)

This should be the ‘get-right' game C.J. Stroud and the Texans have needed for weeks. Jacksonville has overtaken the Ravens as the worst pass defense in the NFL. Stroud has gone over 259.5 passing yards just once in Houston's past seven games.

But opponents are averaging 278.3 yards per game this season and close to 300 over the past three games. If Stroud can't go off against this team with the talent at his disposal ...

Tank Dell has gone over 51.5 yards in both games with Nico Collins back in the lineup. But against a Jacksonville defense that has allowed an average of 13.5 receptions for 183.5 yards, Dell should see a few more targets.

Collins will be the primary receiver, of course, but Dell could still see balls thrown his way and that should be enough for him to go OVER both marks. As for Collins, he has had a reception of 28-plus yards in every game but one. Jacksonville has given up 52 pass plays of 20-plus yards and nine of 40-plus.

Take the OVER.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 13

Player Notes
Tyjae Spears Dec 1 6:40pm CT
Tyjae Spears

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears was able to return to the Titans' backfield after missing Week 12 with a concussion. He played 13 snaps (26.0%) in his first game back but only had one carry for three yards and was not targeted. Spears did also have a kick return, but he wasn't involved enough on offense to be much of a fantasy factor. In better news for Spears, he did not suffer a setback and should be ready for a bigger role next week vs. the Jaguars. In his last fully healthy game, he had 10 touches for 47 rushing yards and four receiving yards. He does have FLEX potential if he gets double-digit touches, but that definitely is not a lock given his minimal role this week.

Tyler Lockett Dec 1 6:40pm CT
Tyler Lockett

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett only earned three targets in Seattle's Week 13 win over the New York Jets. He was a chain mover for the Seahawks, but he is no longer integral to the game plan. Lockett plays a specific role as a savvy veteran who can make big catches for this team. However, his days as anything close to a WR2 are officially long gone. At this point, Lockett is not worth a roster spot in fantasy. No one should roster a player who only earns three targets a game and does not score touchdowns. The Seahawks have shifted hard to consolidating targets between wide receivers DK Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The shift is producing results as both players are having solid seasons. Lockett has been a big name in fantasy for a long time, but it is time to let name value go and move on.

Anders Carlson Dec 1 6:40pm CT
Anders Carlson

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson did not attempt a field goal and hit one of his two extra points in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Carlson was quiet in a game where the Jets struggled to move the ball, posting just 258 yards of total offense in the close loss. The veteran kicker has now made all seven of his field-goal attempts and six of his eight extra points in four games this season, two with the Jets and two with the San Francisco 49ers. He will take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Noah Fant Dec 1 6:40pm CT
Noah Fant

Seattle Seahawks tight end Noah Fant finished Week 13 against the New York Jets tied for second in targets on the team with four. Fant ultimately caught three passes for 26 yards. He was narrowly missed by quarterback Geno Smith for a goal line touchdown in the third quarter. Fant had missed the last month with a groin injury so his involvement in the offense in his first game back was notable. Ironically, backup tight end AJ Barner caught the team's lone passing touchdown. Fant has not been integral to the Seahawks' game plan all season but with wide receiver Tyler Lockett phasing out of the game plan, Fant has a chance to ascend slightly down the stretch. Prior to his injury, he had enjoyed a couple of solid games after all. Look for Fant to build on his momentum in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals.

Bijan Robinson Dec 1 6:40pm CT
Bijan Robinson

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson amassed 135 total yards on 32 touches and found the end zone in Sunday's 17-13 loss to the Chargers. The Falcons leaned heavily on the 22-year-old on the ground, giving him 26 rush attempts on which he gained 102 yards and scored, while continuing to keep him involved in the passing game with six catches for 33 yards. It was the 11th time in 12 games that the former first-round draft pick has caught at least three passes and his eighth touchdown of the season. The workhorse load has made the second-year pro one of the top fantasy options at running back in 2024, and while he'll have a tough matchup in Week 14 against the Vikings who are one of the top defenses against the run, Robinson's work in the passing game should again provide him with a solid floor in fantasy.

Mike Macdonald Dec 1 6:40pm CT
Mike Macdonald

The Seattle Seahawks D/ST limited the New York Jets to 21 points in Week 13. They forced two turnovers and recorded a blocked kick. While the unit did allow a special teams touchdown, they were solid overall and only allowed the Jets offense to score 14 points. This D/ST is on the rise. Since coming out of the bye, they have limited the 49ers, Cardinals, and Jets to 21 points or less. Neither the 49ers nor the Cardinals reached 20 points. Head coach Mike Macdonald has clearly made excellent adjustments that have galvanized this unit. They are playing with cohesion, poise, and an aggressiveness that they did not demonstrate early in the season. The Seahawks now sit at 7-5 with control over the NFC West. Look for them to continue their recent strong showings in Week 14 at the Cardinals.

From RotoBaller

Kene Nwangwu Dec 1 6:40pm CT
Kene Nwangwu

The New York Jets defense turned in an up-and-down effort in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. New York managed three sacks and forced two turnovers while scoring a special teams touchdown in the close loss. While the Seahawks scored 26 points, not all of that was the fault of the New York D/ST as Seattle got a defensive touchdown on a 92-yard Leonard Williams interception return. New York got their special teams touchdown on a 99-yard kickoff return by Kene Nwangwu in the second quarter. The Jets will now gear up to take on the Miami Dolphins on the road in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Dec 1 6:30pm CT
Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba reeled in four of four targets for 74 yards in Seattle's win over the New York Jets in Week 13. Smith-Njigba also rushed the ball once for five yards. Smith-Njigba caught a couple of long passes that boosted his value as he had a quiet day relative to his recent outings. He paced the Seahawks in receiving yards but was tied for second on the team in targets. Considering that the Jets have a solid passing defense, Smith-Njigba's outing was solid. He did not have an excellent game, but he did not sink your team either. He continues to be an incredibly important cog in the Seahawks' passing offense. The involvement of Smith-Njigba in the offense should only continue to grow and develop over the next few weeks of the season. The Seahawks have certainly consolidated their targets between him and wide receiver DK Metcalf as they attempt to make a run at the NFC West title. Look for Smith-Njigba to bounce back in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals whom he just torched for 77 yards and a touchdown in Week 12.

From RotoBaller

Davante Adams Dec 1 6:30pm CT
Davante Adams

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught five of his 12 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Adams led the Jets in receiving yards and targets while coming down with an eight-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. The veteran wideout has found his stride for the Jets of late, catching 24 passes for 260 yards and two touchdowns over his past four contests. Meanwhile, fellow star wideout Garrett Wilson has now failed to top 41 receiving yards in three straight contests. Adams will look to stay hot in Week 14's divisional matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

From RotoBaller

D.K. Metcalf Dec 1 6:30pm CT
D.K. Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf caught four of nine targets for 66 yards in Week 13 against the New York Jets. Metcalf was heavily targeted in this game, especially in the second half. However, the Jets blanket defense limited Metcalf's fantasy production. Metcalf has now struggled in three straight games since returning from his MCL sprain. He has not been terrible, but he has not delivered much better than flex value. Touchdowns are notably missing from Metcalf's box scores. He has not scored since Week 7, and he has not reached 100 receiving yards since Week 4. Metcalf appears to be healthy, but he has not enjoyed the same chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith that he did early in the season. Metcalf will look to get back to form in Week 14 when Seattle visits the Arizona Cardinals. He should get back to his WR2 status at some point this season.

From RotoBaller

Geno Smith Dec 1 6:30pm CT
Geno Smith

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith threw for 206 yards and a touchdown in the team's Week 13 win over the New York Jets. The Jets put Smith on the run all day and he was sacked three times. Despite the pressure, Smith did not turn the ball over or have any blatant turnover-worthy plays throughout the game. Smith did not use his legs much in this game either, which limited his fantasy production. With the Seahawks playing a solid passing defense in the Jets, Smith had a solid game all things considered. He was not considered a good streaming option coming into this week, but his positive outing was encouraging. Smith has a chance to ascend in a big way in Week 14 against the Cardinals. The Cardinals have improved defensively this season, but they are not on New York's level in that department. Smith is playing with confidence and a full complement of wide receivers. If he can get back on the same page with wide receiver DK Metcalf, Smith should continue his solid season down the stretch run of the fantasy football playoffs.

From RotoBaller

Kenneth Walker III Dec 1 6:30pm CT
Kenneth Walker III

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III was highly inefficient in Week 13 against the New York Jets. Walker received another full complement of 16 carries in this game, but he only averaged 3.1 yards per carry. Walker ended up with a dud of a fantasy football day because he only caught two passes for -3 yards. Walker has been relatively inefficient over the last several weeks despite the Seahawks attempt to commit to the run more heavily. His passing game usage had kept him in the RB2 conversation, so his Week 13 output is that much more disappointing. To make matters worse, back up running back Zach Charbonnet ran for 28 yards on just four carries. Charbonnet also scored the team's lone rushing touchdown in Week 13. Charbonnet's solid outing does not signal a changing of the guard by any means. However, the Seahawks need to find a way to get Walker going in the running game. He will look to recover from this poor outing in Week 14 against the Arizona Cardinals.

From RotoBaller

Tyler Conklin Dec 1 6:30pm CT
Tyler Conklin

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin caught four of his five targets for 32 yards in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Conklin wound up finishing third on the Jets in targets, catches, and receiving yards in the close loss to Seattle. It was the veteran's first productive game in over a month as he had caught just six passes for 54 yards in his previous four games. Conklin will look to build upon this performance in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins.

From RotoBaller

Chris Conley Dec 1 6:20pm CT
Chris Conley

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Chris Conley (knee) will play on Sunday night in Buffalo. The wideout was limited in practice all week, resulting in a questionable designation. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) sidelined, others had a chance to step up. However, Conley hasn't done anything of relevance this season, catching only one pass (seven targets) for four yards. Without question, he shouldn't be starting in any fantasy lineup. In fact, Conley shouldn't even be on fantasy rosters.

From RotoBaller

Tony Pollard Dec 1 6:20pm CT
Tony Pollard

Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard was a non-factor for the most part in Week 13, as the Titans fell behind big early to the Commanders in Washington, D.C. Pollard totaled just 35 rushing yards on his eight carries and had a costly early fumble while the Commanders built their 28-0 first-half lead. He did save some value by catching 4-of-6 targets for 33 receiving yards, but it was a big letdown after last week's game with 100+ yards and a rushing touchdown. Despite the down game, Pollard will be in a good spot to get back in the groove as the Titans host the Jaguars in Week 13. He'll be a solid RB2 with RB1 upside in that bounce-back spot next week.

From RotoBaller

J.J. Russell Dec 1 6:20pm CT
J.J. Russell

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker K.J. Britt (ankle) and safety Mike Edwards won't return to Sunday's matchup with the Panthers. Britt has been one of the Bucs' most reliable defenders all year, while Edwards has appeared in only one game for Tampa this season. However, with so many injuries on the defensive side of the ball for the Buccaneers, the team can't afford any more losses. Both will likely need further testing, so it's unknown if they will play in Week 14 versus the Raiders. If not, Anthony Nelson and J.J. Russell should benefit, with Tampa potentially needing to move things around to fill the void left by Edwards' possible absence.

From RotoBaller

Will Levis Dec 1 6:10pm CT
Will Levis

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis attempted a season-high 37 passes in Sunday's 42-19 defeat to the Washington Commanders. The Titans fell behind, 28-0, before Levis threw a touchdown just before halftime. He completed 18-of-37 (48%) of his passes for 212 yards and two touchdowns and had no turnovers. The former second-round pick also lost three yards on two rushing attempts. Levis and the Titans slid to (3-9) with the bad loss, but they do have a very favorable schedule ahead. With six teams on byes next week, Levis will be a solid QB2 against Jacksonville at home in Week 14 after throwing multiple touchdowns in three of his last four games.

From RotoBaller

Brock Purdy Dec 1 6:10pm CT
Brock Purdy

San Francisco 49ers running back Brock Purdy (shoulder) will play in Sunday's matchup versus the Bills. The signal-caller missed the Week 12 meeting with the Green Bay Packers. However, after practicing in full on Friday, he'll shed his questionable designation and be out there in Week 14. Purdy is a capable fantasy quarterback. But with unfavorable weather conditions in Buffalo, he could have a tough time getting anything going, meaning both teams may need to rely more on the run.

From RotoBaller

Garrett Wilson Dec 1 6:10pm CT
Garrett Wilson

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson caught five of his 10 targets for 41 yards in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. Wilson turned in an inefficient game, mustering less than 42 yards for the third straight game despite drawing 10 targets in the contest. The third-year wideout has slowly been overtaken by Davante Adams in the Jets offense, posting 14 catches for just 100 yards and no touchdowns over his past three games while Adams has racked up a 17-169-1 line over that same span. Wilson is looking like a low-end WR2 for the remainder of the season.

From RotoBaller

Taysom Hill Dec 1 6:00pm CT
Taysom Hill

New Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (knee) exited Sunday's meeting with the Los Angeles Rams. He is doubtful to return, although it's likely he won't be back. The veteran was all over the place in this one, catching five passes for 37 yards and rushing for 10 yards off five carries. Unfortunately, he took a hard hit late in the fourth quarter and needed to be carted off the field. Without question, fantasy managers are hoping the injury isn't anything serious, especially since Hill has missed time already this season. He'll likely undergo further testing, so an update should be coming soon. But since Hill does so much on the offensive end, everyone on that side of the ball could benefit from his absence.
