Week 13 Fantasy Football FLEX Outlooks and Rankings Analysis
A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks for key options in Week 13, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether to start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.
Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Washington Commanders
Week 13 FLEX PPR Rank: 44
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. is a solid play with some risk associated with him in Week 13. This week, the Commanders will take on the Miami Dolphins, a team with a stellar offense. With Washington's mediocre defense considered, there's a decent chance that the Commanders fall behind early, similar to what happened in Week 12.
If that occurs, Robinson's upside would be limited once again, as he sees less volume when the offense is in catch-up mode. He has some downside, but with numerous teams on bye this week, Robinson is a name you can start as a low-end RB2 in Week 13.
George Pickens, WR, Pittsburgh Steelers
Week 13 FLEX PPR Rank: 59
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens has not eclipsed double-digit fantasy points since Week 7 but has a great opportunity to bounce back in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has surrendered the sixth-most receiving yards to opposing wideouts in 2023.
The Steelers parted ways with former offensive coordinator Matt Canada heading into Week 12 and immediately showed signs of life as Kenny Pickett completed multiple deep passes, including a 43-yard dime to Pickens. As the team's most explosive playmaker, Pickens offers upside as a flex option for fantasy managers this week.
Garrett Wilson, WR, New York Jets
Week 13 FLEX PPR Rank: 56
New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson scored his third touchdown of the season last week and will hope to make another trip to the end zone against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Unfortunately for Wilson, Atlanta has been stout against opposing receivers, surrendering the ninth-fewest fantasy points per contest to the position.
Wilson has shown that he has the talent to produce regardless of who is under center, but New York's offense will be especially difficult to rely on with Tim Boyle starting at quarterback once again. While fantasy managers continue to hope for the return of Aaron Rodgers (Achilles), Wilson should only be viewed as a WR3 or flex option.
Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers
Week 13 FLEX PPR Rank: 68
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson will take on the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night in Week 13. The second-year receiver has got back on track over the past two weeks, finding the end zone twice and tallying 115 yards on seven receptions. Last week, Watson nearly reached 100 yards and led the team in receiving yards. Quarterback Jordan Love is finally starting to click with the former first-round pick, but the duo will have a tough time against the Kansas City secondary this weekend.
The Chiefs allow the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position and the fifth-fewest yards. Watson will need to find the end zone again and try to break off a big run to make fantasy managers happy in Week 13. If the matchup were better, the 24-year-old would be in the WR2 conversation, but against the Chiefs, consider Watson a WR3.
Isiah Pacheco, RB, Kansas City Cheifs
Week 13 FLEX PPR Rank: 69
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco enjoyed his time with the backfield all to himself last Sunday, leaving Week 12's 31-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders with career highs in snap share (81.0%), route participation (51.4%), and full-PPR fantasy score (25.9 points). With head coach Andy Reid expecting Jerick McKinnon (groin) back for Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers, Pacheco's possession of a backfield monopoly could be a short-lived one.
Pacheco has operated as K.C.'s workhorse runner all year long, sitting ninth in carries (158) and red-zone touches (29). The 2022 seventh-round pick has shown exceptional growth in receiving ability this year after appearing very raw in that area in Year 1, ranking fourth in catch rate (88.9%) among RBs by reeling in 30-of-34 passes. Green Bay is giving up the seventh-most yards per carry (4.4) and 10th-most average fantasy points (23.60) to opposing RBs, making Pacheco a rock-solid RB2.
