Heading into Week 13, two key wide receivers, DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee), did not participate in practice on Wednesday, putting their availability for Sunday in question. Additionally, DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable after missing last week’s game, which adds further uncertainty for fantasy football managers. These injuries could impact the Seattle Seahawks’ receiving corps and the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive plans, making it important to track updates on their statuses.
In terms of rankings, Ja’Marr Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals takes the top spot, with a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Chase has been a consistent standout this season and will look to add another big performance. Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions is close behind, ranked second, as the Lions face the Chicago Bears. Garrett Wilson (New York Jets), CeeDee Lamb (Dallas Cowboys), and Drake London (Atlanta Falcons) round out the top five, with each player being heavily relied upon in their respective offenses.
Other wide receivers in the top 10 include Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings), Nico Collins (Houston Texans), Zay Flowers (Baltimore Ravens), and Mike Evans (Tampa Bay Buccaneers). Terry McLaurin (Washington Commanders) also stands out at No. 10 as he faces off against the Tennessee Titans. Cooper Kupp (Los Angeles Rams), A.J. Brown (Philadelphia Eagles), and Tyreek Hill (Miami Dolphins) are all highly ranked and expected to have significant roles in their games.
There are also notable players like Puka Nacua (Los Angeles Rams), George Pickens (Pittsburgh Steelers), and Jaylen Waddle (Miami Dolphins), all of whom have been valuable contributors this season. As for those further down the rankings, players like Deebo Samuel (San Francisco 49ers) and Calvin Ridley (Tennessee Titans) are also worth monitoring, especially for fantasy managers in deeper leagues.
Given the injury uncertainty around Metcalf, Lockett, and Smith, it’s crucial for managers to stay updated on their statuses throughout the week. For now, players such as Ja’Marr Chase and Amon-Ra St. Brown remain top choices for fantasy football lineups in Week 13.
