Patrick Mahomes
Patrick Mahomes was absolutely slinging the ball in week 12 against the Buccaneers. Mahomes threw for 462 yards and 3 TDs while adding 28 yards rushing. Mahomes looks amazing and had a real connection in this game with star receiver Tyreek Hill who had himself a HUGE day. Mahomes will continue to be a top play in week 13 when he takes on the Denver Broncos who are a middling defense against opposing fantasy QBs. The main concern I have with this matchup is not the strength of the defense it is that Mahomes could be benched earlier than usual if this game gets out of hand. Either way this game goes you are definitely playing Patrick Mahomes this week. Fantasy Projection: 313 yards 2 TDs passing 34 yards 0.3 TDs rushing
Deshaun Watson
Deshaun Watson had a feast on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions when he threw for 318 yards and 4 TDs while adding an additional 24 yards on the ground. Watson took full advantage of a weak Lions secondary and conitnued to prove that he is an elite fantasy option at the QB position. Watson will face the Colts in week 13 who are a very difficult matchup for opposing QBs. The Colts are allowing the 3rd fewest points to opposing fantasy QBs so this will be quite the challenge for the star QB. I believe Watson will continue to be a strong option in week 13, but I would lower your expectations especially from this past week. Fantasy Projection: 254 yards 1.5 TDs passing 27 yards 0.4 TDs rushing

Derrick Henry
Derrick Henry was an absolute monster in week 12 agaisnt one of the best run defenses in the NFL. Henry ran up and down the field agaisnt the tough Colts defense accumulating 178 yards and 3 TDs. I take back everything I said about Henry last week. I thought he would be effected more by the Colts defense like we saw in week 10, but I was very wrong. Henry is a must start each and every week and is matchup proof. In week 13, Henry will line up against the Browns who are allowing the 10th least fantasy points to opposing RBs, but like I just said … Henry is matchup proof and can blow up any week. Fantasy Projection: 109 yards 1 TD rushing 2 receptions 16 yards 0.2 TDs
Antonio Gibson
Was this a breakout game for talented rookie RB Antonio Gibson? Gibson had his best game of his short career by far in week 12 when he rushed for 115 yards and 3 TDs while adding 5 receptions for 21 yards against the Dallas Cowboys. Gibson has been gaining more and more share of the workload over the past few weeks and we know that he is talented enough to run with the lead back role if given to him. If this was a breakout it may need to be paused until after week 13. Gibson will face the Steelers defense in week 13 who are allowing the 2nd least fantasy points to opposing RBs. This is going to be a really tough matchup for Gibson and if you do have a better options I would consider it. Fantasy Projection: 62 yards 0.6 TDs 3 receptions 28 yards 0.1 TDs

Tyreek Hill
If you had Tyreek Hill on your team in week 12 you most likely won your matchup and if you faced Hill… I’m sorry for your loss. Hill had the game of his life in week 12 against the Buccaneers when he had 13 receptions for 269 yards and 3 TDs. It was an incredible game and is just another in a string of games for Hill that have been week winning. Over the last 4 weeks Hill has averaged over 145 yards and 2 TDs per game. Hill is hot and will hopefully stay so for the beginning of the fantasy football playoffs. Hill will face the Broncos in week 13 who are a middle of the pack defense against opposing WRs and will not be able to stop Hill. Fantasy Projection: 7 receptions 101 yards 0.9 TDs
Jarvis Landry
Jarvis Landry had a great game in week 12 against the Jacksonville Jaguars when he had 8 receptions for 143 yards and 1 TD. Landry is now the top option for QB Baker Mayfield especially with star WR Odell Beckham Jr. out for the year. Landry is an option that can be relied upon and this was finally a game for him where the weather did not play a factor. Landry will face the Titans in week 13 who are allowing the 5th most points to oppsoing WRs. This is a great matchup for Landry who will continue to see the majority of the targets in the Brown’s offense. I expect Landry will continue to be a solid WR2 option for the remainder of the season. Fantasy Projection: 6 receptions 74 yards 0.4 TDs

Tight Ends
Rank | Name | Projected Points |
1 | Travis Kelce KC vs. DEN | 14.5 |
2 | Darren Waller LVR at NYJ | 13.1 |
3 | T.J. Hockenson DET at CHI | 11.6 |
4 | Evan Engram NYG at SEA | 11.4 |
5 | Dallas Goedert PHI at GB | 11.0 |
6 | Hunter Henry LAC vs. NE | 10.6 |
7 | Hayden Hurst ATL vs. NO | 10.5 |
8 | Robert Tonyan GB vs. PHI | 10.5 |
9 | Mike Gesicki MIA vs. CIN | 10.2 |
10 | Jonnu Smith TEN vs. CLE | 10.1 |
11 | Noah Fant DEN at KC | 10.1 |
12 | Eric Ebron PIT vs. WAS | 9.8 |
Evan Engram
Evan Engram had a great week 13 when he faced the Bengals. Engram had 6 receptions for 129 yards, but unfortuntely lost his QB Daniel Jones to a hamstring injury. Engram has started to see more action in plus matchups and was going to potentially become a TE1 option if Jones hadn’t gotten hurt. If I were an Engram owner I would watch Jones’ status very carefully. Engram will take on the Seahawks in week 13 who are allowing the 10th least points to opposing TEs, but this will be a game where the Giants will need to throw often. Fantasy Projection: 6 receptions 61 yards 0.3 TDs
