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
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.

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.

From RotoBaller

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.

From RotoBaller

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.
