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
David Moore Nov 30 11:30am CT
David Moore

Does Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore have it in him to post another big game in Week 13 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers? With rookie Jalen Coker (quadriceps) out for the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Moore played a team-high-tying 94% of the offensive snaps and had by far his best game of the season, catching six of his 10 targets for 81 yards and his first touchdown of the year. It also came in the same game that Adam Thielen returned from Injured Reserve to play 61% of the offensive snaps. Coker is out again this Sunday against the Bucs, but Moore could be hard-pressed for another big game, even in a good matchup against a suspect Tampa secondary. Thielen figures to see more involvement in his second game back. At best, Moore is a dart-throw WR5/6 in the deepest of fantasy leagues this weekend.

Adam Thielen Nov 30 11:20am CT
Adam Thielen

Carolina Panthers veteran wide receiver Adam Thielen should be in play as at least a touchdown-dependent, low-upside WR4/flex for fantasy managers in a Week 13 divisional battle against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In his first game action since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 3 that sent him to Injured Reserve, Thielen caught three of four targets for 57 yards in last week's three-point loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He played 61% of the offensive snaps and finished fourth on the team in targets, but he still made an impact in the game, mainly with a 36-yard catch. The 34-year-old should see the field more this weekend and he could take advantage of a positive matchup against a Bucs defense that has been a top-10 matchup for receivers in fantasy in 2024. In addition, rookie receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) and rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) are out for Carolina.

Tyler Allgeier Nov 30 11:20am CT
Tyler Allgeier

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier disappeared in Week 11, not recording a single carry after the team quickly fell behind to the Broncos and abandoned the run. Fresh off their bye week, Week 13's matchup with the Chargers should be more competitive, however, it's hard to project what Allgeier's involvement will be as he's waffled between single and double-digit carries each of the last seven games (6-18-5-12-6-11-0). Los Angeles has been tough against the run, yielding the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs, and has allowed a league-low five rush TDs. The 24-year-old isn't a factor in the passing game either, which makes him a risky RB4 this week, although he remains a strong handcuff to Bijan Robinson if managers have an available roster spot.

From RotoBaller

Tommy Tremble Nov 30 11:20am CT
Tommy Tremble

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble should see the field more in Week 13 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday with rookie Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) ruled out. Sanders suffered a scary neck injury in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, and although he avoided a serious injury, he won't be active on Sunday. Tremble played 82% of the offensive snaps last week due to Sanders' injury, which was his highest snap percentage of the year since Week 4. The 24-year-old was only targeted twice, though, catching one pass for a five-yard gain. Tremble only has 10 receptions on 14 targets for 77 yards and no touchdowns on the year in his six games played, so he should remain on the waiver wire in most fantasy formats heading into Week 13 action. However, he could be worth a look in deep two-tight end leagues in hopes he can find the end zone for the first time in 2024.

From RotoBaller

James Conner Nov 30 11:10am CT
James Conner

The Arizona Cardinals signed running back James Conner a two-year, $19 million contract extension on Saturday, according to a source. Conner was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024 season, but the Cardinals will instead lock him in for another two years. Arizona drafted Trey Benson out of Texas back in April, but the 29-year-old Conner will move forward as the team's primary backfield piece going forward as long as he's healthy. The former third-rounder by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 out of Pittsburgh is having another strong season and is on pace for back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons for the first time in his career. Conner currently has 705 rushing yards and five TDs on 166 carries (4.2 yards per tote) in 11 games. Coming off a quiet performance in Week 12, Conner should be considered a low-end RB2 in fantasy in Week 13 against the Vikings.

From RotoBaller

Alec Pierce Nov 30 11:10am CT
Alec Pierce

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (foot) was listed as questionable for the team's Week 13 game against the New England Patriots on Sunday. Pierce did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was upgraded to a full session on Friday, giving him a good shot to play through the questionable tag this weekend. Fellow receivers Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) didn't practice all week and have been ruled out, so if Pierce is active, he should have an expanded role as the WR2 in Indy behind Michael Pittman Jr. Quarterback Anthony Richardson has struggled with accuracy in his second NFL season, but the 24-year-old Pierce is intriguing as a WR4/flex play this weekend if he's active. He has big-play ability -- he leads the league with 23.3 yards per reception -- and the Patriots defense has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to the position.

From RotoBaller

Ray-Ray McCloud Nov 30 10:50am CT
Ray-Ray McCloud

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III had a six-catch performance back in Week 11 before the team's bye, the third time this season that the 28-year-old has recorded six catches in a contest. While the yardage totals aren't typically very high for him, the veteran wideout has caught at least two balls in every game so far this season and at least three in nine of 11 games, which is more than teammate Kyle Pitts can account for. Week 13 brings a matchup with the Chargers, and in a showdown with a 47.5 over/under that has Los Angeles as just one-point favorites, this should be a competitive contest that will allow McCloud to stay involved. With no teams on bye this week, there are likely better options for managers to choose from, but the Clemson product is a WR5 this week with some upside in PPR formats.

From RotoBaller

Parker Washington Nov 30 10:30am CT
Parker Washington

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has not shown any signs of fantasy relevance this season, but with injuries to Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis, he at least has a chance to produce this week. With Trevor Lawrence returning from a shoulder injury, it's possible he produces slightly more than usual, but for any fantasy manager pushing for the playoffs, Washington is tough to consider as a realistic option. Evan Engram and Brian Thomas Jr. should dominate touches in the passing game, and be the main players responsible for any Jaguars success through the air. If Mac Jones ends up a surprise late start at QB, Washington becomes an even worse fantasy option. Despite a potential boost for the offense with better health and coming off a bye, Washington is a desperate option at best in Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Kyle Pitts Nov 30 10:20am CT
Kyle Pitts

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts has caught just one pass in two of the last three games. In Week 13, the 24-year-old will face a Chargers defense that gives up the 11th-fewest fantasy points to tight ends and, other than Travis Kelce who totaled 89 yards in Week 4, no other tight end has topped 58 yards against them. After getting on a bit of a roll mid-season, Pitts' involvement in the passing game has regressed, now with just a 14.9% target share on the year, which makes him the fourth option, slightly behind Ray-Ray McCloud III and on par with running back Bijan Robinson. Once again hard to trust and with some other options at TE emerging, the former first-round draft pick has fallen to the ranks of a high-end TE2 this week.

From RotoBaller

Saquon Barkley Nov 30 10:00am CT
Saquon Barkley

The Baltimore Ravens defense has been battered and bruised throughout this season and they've been one of the weakest pass defenses in the NFL. In Week 13, they go up against one of the better offenses in the league with a dynamic run game on top of some of the best pass-catchers. Despite boasting one of the top rushing defenses, the Ravens will have their hands full with trying to stop Saquon Barkley. This defense/special teams is better left on the bench this week.

From RotoBaller

Justin Tucker Nov 30 9:40am CT
Justin Tucker

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker knocked through all of his field goals and extra points in Week 12, but didn't have the highest volume. Just one week prior, he missed multiple kicks against the Steelers which marked his sixth game with at least one miss. Now he goes up against the Philadelphia Eagles who are allowing 6.6 fantasy points per game to opposing kickers. Tucker isn't the same automatic fantasy asset that he once was, but he should be able to land in the low-end K1 area.

From RotoBaller

Mac Jones Nov 30 9:40am CT
Mac Jones

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones is not worth considering in fantasy this week, especially since Trevor Lawrence is expected to return from a shoulder injury. Jones has not played great as a replacement option, not producing much himself in fantasy as well as holding the rest of the offense back. The Texans serve as a decent matchup, but not good enough to prop Jones up to fantasy relevance. Jones has stayed below 150 passing yards, and besides a rushing touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings, has not produced a single touchdown. Jones playing would be worst-case scenario for fantasy managers, as not only would Lawrence be removed from the fantasy equation, but so would essentially all of his weapons. Even if Jones is a last minute start, he is not worth starting in fantasy lineups in Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Justice Hill Nov 30 9:30am CT
Justice Hill

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill registered his third outing at an RB2 level or higher during their Week 12 win over the Chargers. Now, Hill and company take on an even better defense in the Philadelphia Eagles. They allow just 99.2 rushing yards per game and eight touchdowns on the ground all year. Their pass defense is also one of the tougher units in the league which makes Hill's week that much harder. He comes in as a very risky flex option in deeper leagues heading into this matchup.

From RotoBaller

Rico Dowdle Nov 30 9:28am CT
Rico Dowdle

Dynasty | Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle had 112 rushing yards, three catches, 11 receiving yards, and a touchdown in a Dallas win over the Giants on Thanksgiving. Dynasty Analysis: Dowdle had 22 running back carries in the game, compared to just one for Ezekiel Elliott. It was a career day for the 26-year old, who has been nearly begging to have a day where they committed to giving him the ball. It may be too little, too late for Dowdle, who is likely to be replaced as the lead back next season. However, Dallas may simply ride him the rest of the way, giving him some very nice in-season value moving forward. Dowdle is a solid hold until the season is over.

D.J. Moore Nov 30 9:28am CT
D.J. Moore

Dynasty | Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in a loss against Detroit on Thanksgiving day. Dynasty Analysis: Moore set a season high in catches (8) and targets (16) in this one as the Bears were forced to throw the ball more than they wanted. It's been a frustrating year for Moore, but Caleb Williams is starting to play better and utilize him much more of late. Moore's dynasty value was starting to slip, but his recent play has made it much more stable.

Isiah Pacheco Nov 30 9:27am CT
Isiah Pacheco

Dynasty | Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had 44 rushing yards, one catch, and five receiving yards in a win against the Raiders. Dynasty Analysis: Pacheco split time with Kareem Hunt (15 yards on nine touches), but clearly looked more effective. The time share will likely continue, but Pacheco will very likely turn this into a 60/40 or 70/30 situation sooner rather than later should he continue to outperform Hunt. In reality, neither player is worth starting until we see something more definitive, but this was a solid return for Pacheco.

Evan Engram Nov 30 9:20am CT
Evan Engram

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram could return to TE1 form in Week 13 against the Houston Texans with the potential return of Trevor Lawrence at quarterback. Mac Jones hasn't played well enough in Lawrence's absence, holding the entire offense back in fantasy. Engram hasn't surpassed 50 yards receiving since Week 6 in London, but has been heavily targeted over the last three weeks with 25 combined targets. The last time the Jaguars faced the Texans, Engram was out with injury, so his presence should provide a new look for the Jaguars offense the second time around. Upside is the main thing fantasy managers should be looking for at tight end, making Engram a decent option as a low-end TE1 with solid upside in Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Cam Little Nov 30 9:20am CT
Cam Little

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little has been okay in fantasy this season, and should continue to serve as an okay option in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. The Jaguars have a chance to move the ball much better this week with the potential return of Trevor Lawrence and the offense overall getting healthier. Little did also produce 10 fantasy points the last time the Jaguars faced the Texans this season back in Week 4, his second best outing of the season. Little has been a consistent NFL kicker during his rookie season from an accuracy and distance standpoint, but that hasn't really translated to consistent fantasy success. There are definitely better kicker options this week, but there are also definitely worse. Little is a fine play in Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Mark Andrews Nov 30 9:20am CT
Mark Andrews

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has been one of the more frustrating fantasy decisions this season along with his counterpart Isaiah Likely. Against the Steelers, Andrews saw three targets despite a 61% snap share, then received five targets with a 42% snap share against the Chargers. The Ravens' tight end situation is nearly impossible to predict week-to-week. The issue is that the Philadelphia Eagles' defense is the second-toughest for opposing tight ends as they give up only 6.3 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. Andrews could be started in a pinch but is hard to rely on in most situations.

From RotoBaller

Rashod Bateman Nov 30 9:10am CT
Rashod Bateman

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been a real boom-or-bust option this year as he's turned into the deep threat that the team hoped for since the 2021 NFL Draft. He's produced a few weeks of WR1 production, but more weeks outside of WR3 territory. In Week 13, based on normal alignment, Bateman would go up against Quinyon Mitchell who has been one of the top cornerbacks in the league during his rookie season. Bateman could be a flex play in deep leagues, but is hard to trust for high-level production.
