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
Juwan Johnson Nov 30 9:00pm CT
Juwan Johnson

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson has a great matchup on tap in Week 13 when his team lines up against the visiting Los Angeles Rams. Johnson has been under a 50% snap share just once in his last nine appearances, though he's averaging just 2.56 receptions and 27.9 yards per outing over that span. Fortunately, he'll get an excellent opportunity to produce this weekend in a Rams defense that has been a sieve all season -- allowing 362.0 yards per game to opposing offenses, the sixth-most in the league. They also rank in the top ten in fantasy points allowed per game to the TE position (13.8). Even in the favorable spot, the 28-year-old is tough to trust as more than a low-floor touchdown-dependent fantasy option. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE31 in this week's rankings.

Courtland Sutton Nov 30 9:00pm CT
Courtland Sutton

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has gone from being a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex this year to being a top-15 pass-catching option for fantasy managers heading into a Monday night primetime showdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Thanks to 36 receptions (48 targets) for 467 yards and three touchdowns, Sutton is tied with Cooper Kupp for second in football (behind only Ja'Marr Chase) in half-PPR points in the last five games. The 29-year-old finished three yards shy of his third 100-yard game in last week's win over the Raiders and also scored twice. Sutton suddenly has become a must-start for fantasy managers as improving rookie quarterback Bo Nix's go-to target in the passing game. He has at least eight targets in the last five weeks and ranks sixth among all WRs with 95 targets. Start Sutton against a Browns defense that allows the seventh-most fantasy points to WRs.

Audric Estime Nov 30 8:50pm CT
Audric Estime

Denver Broncos running backs Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime will be involved in a committee backfield in Denver for the Monday night matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13, making them hard to recommend for a starting lineup spot in fantasy in most leagues. Each of McLaughlin and Estime have led the Broncos' backfield in separate weeks in the last three games, but the problem is Javonte Williams also remains involved despite lots of inconsistency in 2024. McLaughlin looked to be third on the depth chart a few weeks ago but led the backfield with seven carries for 44 yards in last week's win over the Raiders. Estime had just three carries for 15 yards. Both RBs have seen double-digit carries once this year (McLaughlin way back in Week 1). Last week in the win over Vegas, McLaughlin played only 29% of the snaps, with Estime playing 7%.

From RotoBaller

John Metchie III Nov 30 8:30pm CT
John Metchie III

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III gets an exploitable matchup in Week 13 when he squares off against the Jacksonville Jaguars in a divisional clash. The 24-year-old has seen his usage increase since Week 9, logging 61% or more of the team's snaps. It has yet to amount to much regarding fantasy output, but he has become a staple in Houston's lineup. He'll line up across from a Jacksonville defense that's allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers (41.3). Additionally, the Jags have turned over their opponents only eight times this year -- tied for the second-lowest mark in the league. Despite the excellent matchup, Metchie III will only be a recommended option in deep leagues and DFS contests. He's RotoBaller's PPR WR71 ahead of Week 13's slate.

From RotoBaller

Javonte Williams Nov 30 8:20pm CT
Javonte Williams

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams hasn't rewarded his fantasy managers too many times during the 2024 season, which makes him a pretty shaky RB3/flex for the upcoming Monday night matchup against the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 13. The 24-year-old has not looked explosive much this year -- he's averaging only 3.7 yards per carry -- and has posted double-digit half-PPR points in only three of his 12 games. Williams has given fantasy managers under 2.0 half-PPR points in two of the last three weeks. If that wasn't bad enough, Denver's backfield is slowly evolving into a three-man committee that also includes Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie Audric Estime. The Browns defense is vulnerable on the ground (130.6 rushing yards allowed per game), but they've surrendered the eight-fewest half-PPR points per game to RBs as well. Williams is going to have to be efficient on limited touches.

From RotoBaller

Dustin Hopkins Nov 30 8:10pm CT
Dustin Hopkins

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins has struggled with his accuracy in 2024, hitting 15 of his 21 field-goal attempts thus far. He will look to turn in a big game in Week 13's Monday night game against the Denver Broncos. The Broncos have been a decent matchup for fantasy kickers this season, allowing the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Hopkins and the Cleveland offense have been too inconsistent to trust him as a high-end fantasy option in Week 13, so fantasy gamers should look elsewhere for their starter at the position.

From RotoBaller

Bo Nix Nov 30 8:10pm CT
Bo Nix

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (back) popped up on the team's Week 13 injury report with a back injury but practiced in full on Friday and Saturday and was cleared to play for Monday night's game against the visiting Cleveland Browns. Nix has put up at least 20 fantasy points in four of his last five games, including two 30-plus-point performances for fantasy managers. The Browns defense is by no means the greatest matchup for a signal-caller but they've been vulnerable of late and have allowed three touchdowns to wideouts in the last two contests. The 24-year-old first-rounder out of Oregon got off to an ice-cold start in his first few NFL games, but he's quickly settled into head coach Sean Payton's offense and continues to consistently make plays with his arm and legs while limiting turnovers. Nix's arrow is pointing up, and he'll have QB1 upside yet again in Denver on Monday night.

From RotoBaller

Johnny Wilson Nov 30 8:10pm CT
Johnny Wilson

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson (hamstring) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's road tilt against the Baltimore Ravens. The hulking wideout was a late addition to Philadelphia's practice report -- logging a DNP on Friday after popping up with a soft tissue issue. It's unfortunate news for the rookie, who participated on the most snaps of his young career in last Sunday's 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams (51). However, it didn't amount to much, commanding just one target in the blowout victory as running back Saquon Barkley stole the show. Wilson will miss at least one week, with fellow WR Jahan Dotson projected to be the de facto No. 2 option unless DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is on the positive side of his questionable designation. Look for wide receiver Parris Campbell to see some snaps if Smith can't suit up. Campbell was signed to the Eagles' active roster on Saturday.

From RotoBaller

Elijah Moore Nov 30 8:00pm CT
Elijah Moore

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Elijah Moore was quiet in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just three passes for 21 yards on a cold, snowy day in Cleveland. He will look to bounce back against the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 13's Monday night game. The Broncos have been tough on opposing receivers this season, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position. With Cedric Tillman (concussion) set to miss the game, Moore could see even more work than usual pushed onto his plate, making him a WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues this week.

From RotoBaller

David Njoku Nov 30 8:00pm CT
David Njoku

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku was quiet in a Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, catching just a nine-yard pass and a two-point conversion. He will look to bounce back on the road against the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. The Broncos have been tough against the pass this season, allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends. While the matchup is not ideal, Njoku has been a dominant fantasy tight end of late, reaching at least 17.1 PPR points in three of his past five games. He checks in as a low-end TE1 in fantasy for Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Jerry Jeudy Nov 30 7:10pm CT
Jerry Jeudy

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (knee) will take on his former team as he heads on the road to face the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. Jeudy has been on fire of late as he has caught 24 passes for 379 yards and one touchdown over the past four games. He and Jameis Winston have shown nice chemistry together this season, although that will be tested in a matchup against a tough Denver secondary this week. The Broncos have clamped down on opposing receivers this season as they are allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Jeudy has been too good of late to bench in fantasy but he should be treated as more of a WR3 this weekend thanks to the difficult matchup.

From RotoBaller

Jerome Ford Nov 30 7:00pm CT
Jerome Ford

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford will head on the road to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. Ford has seen his role decrease since Nick Chubb was activated from injured reserve as the former has garnered just 11 carries in the three games the two running backs have appeared in together. He does remain involved in the team's passing game as the third-down back but that role has translated to just six catches for 39 yards in his last three games. Ford should remain on fantasy benches as nothing more than a desperation flex heading into Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Nick Chubb Nov 30 6:50pm CT
Nick Chubb

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb found the end zone twice in a surprise Week 12 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He will look to stay hot against the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. The Broncos have an excellent defense but they have been more beatable on the ground than through the air, so Chubb should be prominently involved in the game plan assuming the Browns don't fall behind early. Now sitting on three touchdowns through five games in 2024, fantasy gamers can treat Chubb as a high-end RB3/flex option heading into Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Kene Nwangwu Nov 30 6:40pm CT
Kene Nwangwu

New York Jets running back Kene Nwangwu has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. This is noteworthy because lead back Breece Hall (knee) is currently considered questionable for this game. The move to bring up Nwangwu could mean that Hall is headed in the wrong direction. If Hall sits, Braelon Allen would become the lead back with Isaiah Davis likely mixed in as well. Nwangwu probably wouldn't see any snaps, but is coming up as added insurance in the backfield.

From RotoBaller

Jameis Winston Nov 30 6:40pm CT
Jameis Winston

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston will head on the road to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. Winston will look to build upon an exciting underdog win over the Pittsburgh Steelers back in Week 12's Thursday night game. The Broncos represent a tough matchup for Winston as they are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers this season. Winston has played well for the Browns this season but he will be without one of his top targets as Cedric Tillman (concussion) will not take the field on Monday night. Fantasy managers should treat Winston as a low-end QB2 heading into Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Jeff Ulbrich Nov 30 6:30pm CT
Jeff Ulbrich

New York Jets offensive tackle Tyron Smith (neck) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. This doesn't come as a surprise given interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich hinted at this move earlier in the week. The Jets don't appear to be going anywhere this season and they aren't going to rush the veteran tackle back to the field. The expectation is that Olu Fashanu will continue getting a look at left tackle down the stretch of the season. The Jets did use the No. 11 pick on Fashanu, so they might as well see what they have in him.

From RotoBaller

Cedric Tillman Nov 30 6:20pm CT
Cedric Tillman

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Tillman exited last week's game with a concussion and is still experiencing symptoms this week. He hasn't been able to practice at all this week, which will result in him missing Monday's game. Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore should see an increased workload with Tillman unavailable. Fantasy managers might be able to count on Jeudy as a WR2 for this upcoming contest.

From RotoBaller

Riley Patterson Nov 30 6:10pm CT
Riley Patterson

Atlanta Falcons kicker Riley Patterson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Falcons have brought up Patterson as insurance with Younghoe Koo (hip) still banged up heading into Sunday. Patterson has only appeared in one game this season as he knocked down three extra point attempts with the New York Jets in Week 9. He has bounced around a bit since joining the league as an undrafted free agent in 2021. Patterson could be worth a look as a possible streaming option if Patterson is unable to play.

From RotoBaller

Josh Reynolds Nov 30 6:10pm CT
Josh Reynolds

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Reynolds has been a full participant in practice this week, but remains on the injured reserve on Saturday. The fact he hasn't been activated yet is probably why he's getting a questionable tag heading into this game. Reynolds has not played since Week 5 after being the victim of a shooting. He hasn't done much on the field when healthy this season, so fantasy managers can probably look elsewhere for help ahead of Monday's game.

From RotoBaller

Charlie Kolar Nov 30 6:00pm CT
Charlie Kolar

Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar (arm) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. As expected, Kolar is going to miss significant time after breaking his arm during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Kolar has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, but we'll wait and see how he progresses. The absence of Kolar won't mean too much for this offense going forward. It should mean a few more snaps for Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews down the stretch of the season, but should only give some a slight uptick in value.
