Demarcus Robinson Unlikely To Contribute In Week 13
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught his one and only target for an eight-yard gain in Week 12. It was his second straight game with a single reception, bringing the 30-year-old veteran's season-long production to 13 receptions for 163 yards on 23 targets. Even amid the rash of injuries to the 49ers' offense, Robinson failed to make an impact. That is unlikely to change, now that Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall (knee), and George Kittle are all active again. In Week 13, San Francisco is on the road to face the Browns, who have given up the second-fewest receptions and receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025. The forecast in Cleveland calls for 25 MPH winds, rain, and snow, making it unlikely that the 49ers' open up their passing attack and provide Robinson with more work. He can be left off of fantasy football rosters this week.

Ricky Pearsall A Risky Start For Week 13
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had another disappointing finish in Week 12, logging two catches for eight yards on three targets. It was another disappointing finish following his one-catch, zero-yard performance in Week 11 after a six-game absence while managing a PCL injury. Now playing with a healthy Jauan Jennings and George Kittle in the lineup and the offense flowing through Christian McCaffrey, Pearsall seems to be the odd man out in the 49ers' passing attack. On Sunday, Pearsall faces a Browns defense that has offered the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game and a weather forecast in Cleveland featuring 25 MPH winds, rain, and snow. With the team trends, matchup, and elements working against Pearsall, he projects as a WR5 in Week 13.

Jauan Jennings Faces Daunting Matchup In Week 13
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings' touchdown on their opening drive in Week 12 salvaged what would have otherwise been a poor showing. Amid Brock Purdy's (toe) struggles against the Panthers, Jennings finished the game with five catches for 41 yards and the score on seven targets. Jennings now has a touchdown in three of the 49ers' last four games, and has at least four receptions per game going back to Week 7. In Week 13, San Francisco goes to Cleveland to face the Browns, who have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game and second-fewest receptions and receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Further dampening Jennings' prospects on Sunday is the forecasted inclement weather, which is expected to feature winds in excess of 25 MPH, rain, and snow. Fantasy football managers should exercise caution with Jennings, who ranks as a WR4 in Week 13.

Could Bad Weather Be Good For Brian Robinson Jr.?
San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s fantasy value faces a hard cap in his change-of-pace role behind Christian McCaffrey. With the offense flowing through McCaffrey to the tune of nearly 25 touches per game, on average, those changes of pace are few and far between. To his credit, Robinson has been effective when on the field, logging 4.7 yards per carry in 2025. In Week 13, the 49ers travel to Cleveland to face the Browns. With strong winds, rain, and snow in the forecast, San Francisco will likely lean into the run game, which could provide Robinson a few more opportunities than usual. He can be avoided in most formats, but could be of use in deep leagues on Sunday.

Christian McCaffrey In RB1 Mix Despite Tough Matchup
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey enters Week 13 leading the NFL in touches (298) and second in receptions (81). Amid the 49ers' injury-riddled season, McCaffrey has been relied on heavily to keep the offense moving. Another heavy workload is in store for the ninth-year veteran when San Francisco heads to Cleveland to face the Browns. The weather forecast calls for strong winds, rain, and snow, which points to an emphasis on the ground game. The Browns had been one of the stronger run defenses in the league, though they have softened as of late. Since their Week 9 bye, Cleveland has given up top-12 finishes in three consecutive weeks to running backs Breece Hall, Derrick Henry, and Ashton Jeanty. McCaffrey is a strong candidate to make it four in a row and should be locked into fantasy football starting lineups for Week 13.

Rebound Game For Brock Purdy Not A Guarantee
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) got the win last Monday against the Panthers but delivered a dud to fantasy football managers. Purdy struggled outside of the short game, delivering just eight passes beyond 10 yards with a result of completion and three interceptions. Purdy insisted in postgame comments that his bout of turf toe was not to blame for his performance, and that his struggles were timing errors. Purdy did practice in full all week and carries no designation for what could be a challenging matchup in Week 13 against the Browns. The Browns, led by pass rusher Myles Garrett, have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Strong winds, snow, and rain are in the forecast for Sunday, making Purdy's job all the more challenging. Purdy projects as a low-end QB2 in Week 13.

Are the Arizona Cardinals D/ST a Sneaky Week 13 Streaming Play?
The Arizona Cardinals D/ST bounced back in a tough Week 12 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cardinals' D/ST was able to force a season-high four turnovers and score a touchdown. Entering Week 13, the Cardinals' D/ST is RotoBaller's 15th-ranked unit, facing a banged-up Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense. The Buccaneers have officially listed quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) and running back Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) as questionable for Sunday's matchup. Mayfield was held to under 10 passing completions and injured his left shoulder in his last outing against the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals' secondary has been able to snag nine interceptions this season, and could look to add to their total with Mayfield throwing three interceptions in his last two games. With an injury-riddled Buccaneers offense on the field, the Arizona Cardinals D/ST could be a sneaky Week 13 streaming option for fantasy managers.

Jets D/ST a Decent Streaming Option Vs. Injury-Marred Falcons
The New York Jets' D/ST is a decent streaming option in Week 13 against the visiting Atlanta Falcons at MetLife Stadium. The team's defense has struggled for most of the campaign, notching more than one sack in an outing just three times, and has yet to record an interception. That said, they'll be afforded a Falcons squad rife with injuries on the offensive side of the ball. In addition to veteran Kirk Cousins taking over for an injured Michael Penix Jr. (knee), Atlanta will also be without wide receiver Drake London (knee). Furthermore, New York's defense has been better at home, yielding over four fewer points per outing and recording 14 of their 19 sacks at MetLife. Cousins played a bit better last weekend in their win over New Orleans, but it's unclear if that's a trend or a blip on the radar against a below-average Saints' defense. The Jets' unit ranks as RotoBaller's D/ST14 for Sunday's matchup.

David Sills V a Deep-League Option in Week 13
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V caught his first touchdown of the season in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, finishing with two receptions for 16 yards on three targets. Sills took advantage of superstar wideout Drake London (knee) missing the game, playing 69.6% of the snaps while setting a season high in receiving yards. The production was still modest, but it was positive to see the veteran see usage down near the goal line. London is set to miss at least one more game in Week 13, setting up Sills to see a healthy number of routes again against the New York Jets. The expected volume of routes makes Sills an option in deep leagues for Week 13.

Jacoby Brissett is Heading into a Favorable Week 13 Matchup on a Heater
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett is conducting one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the NFL this season. Brissett has completed 80 passes on 106 attempts over the last two weeks with a 75 percent completion percentage. The 32-year-old has flipped the Cardinals into a passing offense and has been able to produce multiple fantasy viable pass-catchers. Brissett enters Week 13 as RotoBaller's 11th-ranked quarterback in a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Over the last two weeks, the Buccaneers' defense has allowed opposing offenses to gain over 270 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. Against a struggling defense, Brissett has an opportunity once again to light up fantasy scoreboards in a high-volume role. Brissett could see the return of top wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix), who has officially been listed as questionable after missing the previous two games due to undergoing appendectomy surgery. Even if Harrison can't go, Brissett should be viewed as a low-end QB1 with upside and can comfortably be inserted into starting lineups.

Isaiah Davis Unlikely to See Many Opportunities Vs. Atlanta
New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis offers little more than handcuff insurance ahead of the team's Week 13 meeting against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. The South Dakota State product encroached on 50% of New York's snaps for a two-game stretch during Weeks 7 and 8. However, he's dipped back down since, failing to eclipse 30% of plays in the three ensuing contests. With backfield mate Breece Hall dominating touches on the ground, and even regaining a role in the passing game - which the 23-year-old had owned for a period of time - Davis boasts no value outside his low-end handcuff status. As it stands, fantasy managers can safely avoid the second-year back, particularly with teammate Braelon Allen's (knee) potential return on the horizon. Davis is RotoBaller's PPR RB57 for Week 13.

Will Jack Bech's Role Increase in Week 13?
Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech hasn't made an impact this season, recording eight receptions for 92 yards on 12 targets in 11 games. Bech has played just 12.2% of the offensive snaps since the Raiders' Week 8 bye, hauling in one of two targets for 19 yards. The rookie third-rounder's role has surprisingly been reduced even after the team traded away top wideout Jakobi Meyers at the deadline. His role in the offense spiked in Weeks 5-7, playing 63.4% of the snaps and catching five of eight targets for 40 yards, but the rookie hasn't been involved since. The Raiders' offense has been a disaster this season and has resulted in the dismissal of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier this week. Perhaps with a new coach calling plays and in charge of personnel, we will see Bech's playing time tick back up in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He remains just a stash in dynasty leagues for now.

Michael Carter's Role in the Cardinals' Offense Could Expand in Week 13
Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had an efficient week on the ground last Sunday and might see more touches in a tough Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carter could be forced into the RB1 role in the Cardinals' offense if running back Bam Knight (knee) is unable to play Sunday. Knight is listed as questionable for Week 13 after being limited in practice all week, which leans him towards being on the right side of questionable. If Knight plays, Carter will continue to be a change-of-pace back in a difficult matchup. The Buccaneers have allowed the seventh fewest rushing yards this season to ball carriers. Carter will need to see an uptick in volume in the passing game to stay fantasy viable. In deep leagues, Carter will be a risky flex option that will need to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy managers, whether Knight plays or not on Sunday.

Adonai Mitchell Carving Out Role with New Team
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will look to be more in sync with quarterback Tyrod Taylor in Week 13 against a mercurial Atlanta Falcons defense. Mitchell has seen a solid target share since debuting with the Jets two weeks back, absorbing 24% of the passes thrown between Taylor and Justin Fields. However, the second-year pro connected on only three of his 13 targets (52 yards), despite consistently working open against opposing DBs. While Atlanta's back end is no walk in the park, Mitchell should continue to work in a sort of 1A/1B tandem with teammate John Metchie III, and see enough work to be a decent dart throw for fantasy as New York's offense attempts to gain traction. The Texas native has enough ability as a separator to make an impact, but fantasy managers in shallower leagues may want to give it some more time before slotting him into their lineups. Mitchell is RotoBaller's PPR WR63 ahead of Sunday's bout with the Falcons.

Can Michael Wilson Earn Double-Digit Targets for a Third Straight Week?
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has taken fantasy leagues by storm right before the fantasy playoffs. In back-to-back games, Wilson has earned over 15 targets and produced more than 110 receiving yards. Wilson enters Week 13 as RotoBaller's 20th-ranked wide receiver in Half-PPR formats in a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers' defense has allowed opposing offenses to gain over 270 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in their last two games. Wilson could see more target competition if teammate Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) can play on Sunday. Harrison has officially been listed as questionable for Week 13 after missing the previous two games due to undergoing appendectomy surgery. Even if Harrison plays, Wilson has established a real connection with quarterback Jacoby Brissett. The two have been able to connect 25 times for 303 yards on 33 targets over the past two weeks. Wilson is a WR2 with upside heading into Sunday's matchup and can be comfortably inserted into fantasy lineups.
