Fantasy Football Week 13 Rankings: Wide Receivers Matchups to Exploit

Looking to clinch your regular season championship? Fighting for the final playoff spot in your league?

If so, take a look at our wide receiver matchups to exploit to find out which pass-catchers have a solid chance of getting the job done in Week 13.

Reggie Wayne (Indianapolis Colts) vs. Dallas

Wayne hardly ruled his manor hauling in five receptions for 42 yards at Lucas Oil Stadium on Sunday. He received a whopping 14 targets, but really struggled against a great San Diego Chargers pass defense. 

Wayne and the Indianapolis Colts should bounce back against a Dallas Cowboys team that has allowed 27 fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. 

Expect Wayne to have one of his better games of the season this week.

Johnny Knox (Chicago Bears) at Detroit

Knox has been seeing consistent targets on a weekly basis and last week he was back to his old ways, averaging 22.7 yards per catch.

His 18.7 YPC average ranks towards the top of the NFL and his matchup against the Detroit Lions secondary is one to take advantage of.

Detroit has allowed seven touchdowns to wide receivers over the last two weeks and they had trouble defending the deep ball on Turkey Day.

Look for Jay Cutler and Knox to attack downfield and don’t be surprised if the second-year speedster catches a deep ball or two—now let’s hope it’s for six points.

Marques Colston (New Orleans Saints) at Cincinnati

Colston had another solid performance, even though he couldn’t garner a score against the Dallas Cowboys.  He led the New Orleans Saints’ receiving corps with nine targets and hauled in six receptions for 105 yards. 

Colston has now scored 39 fantasy points over his last three games and should continue to be productive against a Cincinnati Bengals team that has allowed 13 receptions per game and 23 fantasy points to the wide receiver position this season. 

If you own Colston, start him without any anxiety.

Mike Thomas (Jacksonville Jaguars) at Tennessee

Thomas had six receptions for 46 yards against the New York Giants on Sunday. 

He continues to have nice value in PPR leagues with 19 catches over the last three games and he faces a Tennessee Titans team that has allowed 13 receptions per game to the wide receiver position this season. 

With Mike Sims-Walker already being ruled out in Week 13, Thomas will once again be the primary receiver in Jacksonville and if you own him you can expect for Thomas to flirt with double-digit fantasy points.
