Matchups We Love

WR Courtland Sutton

At this point, Courtland Sutton is a must-start in all formats this week. He is the WR3 in PPR formats over the last four weeks while finishing as a top-6 fantasy wide receiver in three of the past four games. Now, he gets a great matchup against the Browns secondary in Week 13. Cleveland has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points per game to outside wideouts this season.

COURTLAND SUTTON, ARE YOU SERIOUS?

Matchups We Hate

QB Jameis Winston 

Jameis Winston will have a tough matchup against the Broncos this week. Denver has given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season while allowing only two quarterbacks to score more than 16 fantasy points since Week 2. Winston will be more of a QB2 play in Superflex formats.

RB Javonte Williams

With no teams on bye this week, Javonte Williams is just too risky to trust in fantasy. He rushed eight times for -2 yards in last week's win and finished with under three PPR fantasy points for the second in three weeks. On top of that, the Browns have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season. That makes Williams a low-end flex play in Week 13.

WR Jerry Jeudy 

It'll be interesting to see who Patrick Surtain II shadows in this game. There's a good chance that it will be Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy has totaled at least 70 receiving yards in four straight games, but with Surtain in coverage, the Browns wideout could struggle to put up solid fantasy numbers in Week 13. Quarterbacks have a 56.4 passer rating when targeting the Broncos corner in coverage this season. He'll be more of a high-end WR3 play.

TE David Njoku 

David Njoku has a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Broncos. Despite scoring above 17 PPR fantasy points in three of the past five games, Njoku will be a riskier TE1 play on Monday. Denver has allowed only two tight ends to score above 10 PPR fantasy points this season.

Other Matchups

QB Bo Nix

Bo Nix has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in six of the past eight games. As a result, he has some QB1 potential in most leagues this week. Cleveland has given up the 12th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks while allowing at least 18 fantasy points to the position in five of the past seven games. Given Nix's rushing potential, he can be a solid start in one-quarterback leagues again in Week 13.

RB Nick Chubb 

Nick Chubb scored 19 fantasy points in last week's win, but he remains a touchdown-dependent flex option this weekend against the Broncos. Chubb is averaging only 4.9 PPR fantasy points in games he doesn't score, and Denver hasn't allowed a rushing touchdown in five of the past six games. He'll be a risky flex play in 12-plus team leagues.

NICK CHUBB IS BACK IN THE END ZONE ❤️

WR Devaughn Vele 

Devaughn Vele is certainly trending up in fantasy heading into Week 13. Vele saw a season-high nine targets in last week's win and scored in double figures in PPR formats for the third straight week. As a result, he has some potential in 12-plus team leagues on Monday against the Browns. Cleveland has allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season.
