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
Jonathan Taylor Dec 1 8:40pm CT
Jonathan Taylor

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor rushed 25 times for 96 yards and caught his lone target for a seven-yard touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots. After posting duds in three of his last four games, the 25-year-old got back on track in Week 14, eclipsing 100 total yards for the fifth time this season and scoring for the first time since Week 8. It was encouraging to see that he could still log a full workload even with QB Anthony Richardson rushing nine times in the contest as well, and his lone pass target was one more than he had last week. The former second-round draft pick may get a chance to keep rolling when they take on a strong Denver pass defense after they come out of the bye, but the Broncos are allowing just 3.8 yards per rush, fourth-lowest in the NFL, so it could be a challenge for the Indy offense no matter which way they attempt to attack.

Rachaad White Dec 1 8:40pm CT
Rachaad White

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White has been non-existent on the ground throughout most of the season. In fact, White only had one 50-plus rushing performance on the season coming into Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Finally, White finds room to run as he rushes for 76 yards on 11 attempts during the overtime victory. To be fair, White got 38 on those yards on one carry which helped the Bucs get in position for the game-winning field goal. Fellow back Bucky Irving outshined White once again and continues to pull away as the top dog in Tampa Bay. White is falling into flex appeal for next week's matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders.

Taysom Hill Dec 1 8:30pm CT
Taysom Hill

News Orleans Saints tight end Taysom Hill (knee) will undergo testing to determine the severity of the knee injury he picked up in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 34-year-old was knocked from the contest late in the fourth quarter after appearing to take a helmet to his left knee as he attempted to pick up a first down. Unfortunately, Hill was ultimately carted off the field. It'd be unfortunate news for the team if he were forced to miss time, as he's been a force this season in his do-it-all role for the Saints. Before his exit from the matchup, the eighth-year hybrid athlete totaled ten yards on his five carries while leading his team with five receptions and 37 yards on seven targets.

From RotoBaller

Baker Mayfield Dec 1 8:30pm CT
Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (ankle) put together a less than ideal performance against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. The expectation was that Mayfield would bounce back here against the struggling Panthers secondary. That didn't really happen as Mayfield completed 21-of-33 passing attempts for 235 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions in the win. The Panthers pass rush got to Mayfield four times and one time forced him out of the contest briefly due to an ankle injury. It'll take more than that to take down Mayfield as he returned to the contest to help his team get the overtime win. If healthy, Mayfield should be a QB1 for next week's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

From RotoBaller

Anthony Richardson Dec 1 8:20pm CT
Anthony Richardson

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson completed just 12 of 24 pass attempts for 109 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots. Despite those lackluster numbers, the 22-year-old had a strong fantasy day as he threw two touchdown passes, rushed nine times for 48 yards and a touchdown, while adding a two-point conversion with 12 seconds left in the game that gave the Colts the one-point victory. He also threw two interceptions in the contest. While it hasn't been pretty, the second-year pro has gotten it done for fantasy in two of the last three games since being reinserted as the starter with six TDs combined on the ground and via the pass. However, he'll have a hard time putting up significant numbers in Week 15 when the Colts come out of their bye week, as they will have to travel to Denver to take on the Broncos' pass defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to opposing QBs coming into Week 14.

Christian McCaffrey Dec 1 8:20pm CT
Christian McCaffrey

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) has exited Sunday night's contest against the Buffalo Bills with a knee injury and is questionable to return. McCaffrey took a toss on a 49ers first-and-ten, took a few steps, and immediately gave himself up as he did not look right. He was quickly brought into the blue medical tent for evaluation and escorted into the locker room shortly thereafter. It's unclear which play he picked up the injury in. Before his exit, the 28-year-old racked up 53 yards on his seven carries, adding another 14 through the air on 2-of-3 receiving. Stay tuned.

Justin Tucker Dec 1 8:00pm CT
Justin Tucker

When asked by reporters following his team's 24-19 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh stated he has no plans to move on from kicker Justin Tucker. "If you're asking me if I'm going to move on from Justin Tucker, I'm not really planning on doing that right now," said Harbaugh. "I don't really think that would be wise." It's encouraging for Tucker to get a vote of confidence from his coach, though -- he hasn't exactly been his accurate self thus far in 2024. The 35-year-old missed two more field goals on Sunday afternoon and another extra point attempt. He's already up to six missed field goals this season -- one more than he had all of 2023. With the Ravens sticking with the veteran, he'll get another opportunity to iron out his issues during his team's bye week in Week 14.

From RotoBaller

Tee Higgins Dec 1 7:40pm CT
Tee Higgins

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins had five receptions for 86 yards in Sunday's loss to Pittsburgh. He also scored a touchdown, bringing in a one-yard throw from Joe Burrow halfway into the fourth quarter. Despite missing time this season due to various injuries, Higgins has played well, with the wideout finding the end zone for the third time in as many weeks. Hopefully, he stays off the injury report. In the meantime, fantasy managers need to keep him starting in the Week 14 matchup versus the Cowboys.

From RotoBaller

Andrei Iosivas Dec 1 7:40pm CT
Andrei Iosivas

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas had three catches for 35 yards in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He also had a touchdown, bringing in a three-yard pass from Joe Burrow late in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old hasn't found the end zone since the Monday night loss to the Commanders back in September. Since then, he only has 13 catches. With that said, Iosivas should remain stashed on dynasty rosters. On the other hand, he needs a few more productive outings before he finds himself back in fantasy lineups, so he's not an option in Week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys.

From RotoBaller

Ja'Marr Chase Dec 1 7:30pm CT
Ja'Marr Chase

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase had six grabs for 86 yards in Sunday's six-point loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bengals weren't able to pick up the much-needed win in Week 13. Still, Chase can't take any of the blame, with the wideout making his thirteenth trip to the end zone. With Cincinnati unlikely to make the playoffs, there may be a point where it wouldn't make sense for Chase to be on the field. However, he's still a must-start for the Week 14 meeting against a shoddy Cowboys defense.

From RotoBaller

Tyrann Mathieu Dec 1 7:10pm CT
Tyrann Mathieu

New Orleans Saints safety Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) exited Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 32-year-old had only two catches in this one, so he didn't do much from a production standpoint. However, he's still has three picks this season, meaning the team will have a tough time filling the void in the lineup if he can't suit up in Week 14 against the Giants. Mathieu will likely undergo further testing in the next day or two. But if he can't play, J.T. Gray is in line for more work.

From RotoBaller

Calvin Ridley Dec 1 7:10pm CT
Calvin Ridley

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley had just two catches for 45 yards on Sunday afternoon against the Washington Commanders. He was targeted seven times by Will Levis, who finished with a season-high 37 pass attempts. The Titans struggled to get much going overall on offense, but Ridley did make a nice sliding catch to set up their first touchdown just before halftime. However, it was a disappointing result for Ridley and the Titans this week, but they'll be in a good spot to bounce back at home against the Jaguars next week. Ridley remains the team's top option in the passing game and has drawn a huge target share since the DeAndre Hopkins trade. For Week 14, Ridley is a WR2 with WR1 upside.

From RotoBaller

Reed Blankenship Dec 1 7:10pm CT
Reed Blankenship

Philadelphia Eagles safety Reed Blankenship (concussion) didn't return to Sunday's game against the Ravens. The 25-year-old entered Week 13 by totaling 10 tackles in the Thursday night win over the Washington Commanders. However, his status for the Week 14 matchup with the Panthers is now up in the air. Blankenship will likely be closely monitored in the coming days. But if he can't suit up versus Carolina, Sydney Brown would presumably move to the top of the depth chart.

From RotoBaller

Demarcus Robinson Dec 1 7:00pm CT
Demarcus Robinson

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson (hand) had two catches for 49 yards in Sunday's win over the New Orleans Saints. Although two catches wouldn't mean anything to fantasy managers, one of them at least resulted in a trip to the end zone. Despite Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp healthy and available, Robinson has been involved, catching a touchdown in each of his last two appearances. He suffered a hand injury in this one, so his status for the Week 14 matchup with the visiting Bills is up in the air. But if Robinson can play, he deserves flex consideration based on his contributions of late.

From RotoBaller

Joe Burrow Dec 1 6:50pm CT
Joe Burrow

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (leg) had another productive showing in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, there is concern surrounding the health of the oft-injured signal-caller, with Burrow spotted limping after the game. He reported he took a cleat early in the contest that "drew a good amount of blood." But Burrow couldn't provide an update on his condition, but says the team will "know more on Tuesday." He should be in line for further testing while also potentially missing practice time throughout the week. At the same time, fantasy managers shouldn't be surprised to see Burrow carry a questionable designation heading into the Week 14 meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. If Burrow can't play, Jake Browning would take over under center. Unfortunately, Browning's presence may not be good news for Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and the rest of the Bengals' offense.

From RotoBaller

Nick Westbrook-Ikhine Dec 1 6:50pm CT
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine scored two more touchdowns and finished with 61 yards on a team-high eight targets on Sunday in a 42-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. He continues to find the end zone at an amazing rate and has eight touchdowns on the season while posting just 20 catches. NWI has only caught more than three passes in one game all year but has found the end zone in seven of his last eight contests. He's clearly become the Titans' second receiver after the trade of DeAndre Hopkins and his growing target share is a good sign for him coming into a very favorable stretch of matchups. Westbrook-Ikhine is a strong WR3 with WR2 upside in Week 13 against the Jaguars if he continues to make such regular trips to the end zone

From RotoBaller

Isaiah Davis Dec 1 6:50pm CT
Isaiah Davis

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis carried the ball once for four yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in a 26-21 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. The rookie scored the first touchdown of his career on a four-yard reception in the first quarter, giving the Jets a two-score lead early in the game. Breece Hall dealt with a knee injury throughout the week leading up to the game, which may be why Davis played a larger role than usual in the team's passing attack. That said, the rookie is no better than the third-string running back on the depth chart and has little fantasy value heading into a Week 14 road matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

From RotoBaller

Chigoziem Okonkwo Dec 1 6:50pm CT
Chigoziem Okonkwo

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo had three catches for 27 yards on a season-high six targets in Week 13's ugly 42-19 loss to the Washington Commanders. Okonkwo had an impressive 70-yard touchdown catch last week in a critical spot in the Titans' road win over the Texans. This week, he didn't break any big plays like that but was more involved, matching his target total from the previous three weeks combined. The Titans were forced to throw the ball more based on game script, but Okonkwo's increased involvement is a great sign for him coming down the stretch. He has tasty matchups for tight ends against the Jaguars, Bengals, and Colts over the next three weeks. He's a TE2 but has upside in those favorable matchups due to his big-play ability.

From RotoBaller

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.

From RotoBaller

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.
