It’s Week 13, and there are 11 games on Sunday’s main slate. I discuss each game in-depth below. First, however, I’ll use the intro to point out something that’s come to my attention in my early lineup building. This week, I’ll probably veer from my usual four-wide receiver team builds on a more significant percentage of rosters than usual, as I love the value at running back and tight end this week.

Week 13 Matchups
Game: Indianapolis Colts at Houston Texans
Spread: IND -10.0 Points
Over/Under: 45.5 Points
Colts Analysis: Let's jump right into this with my favorite running back on the slate. According to Pro-Football-Reference, Jonathan Taylor is second in rushing yards per game (100.4), and first in yards per rush attempt (5.8), and touchdown runs (14). According to Football Outsiders, the electrifying second-year back runs behind the seventh-best line in Adjusted Line Yards. Meanwhile, according to Football Outsiders, the Texans are 25th in rush defense Defense-adjusted Value Over Average (DVOA). So, with the Colts serving as more than a touchdown favorite, Taylor should be force-fed in a positive game script against a giving run defense.
In addition to Taylor, I'm interested in Indy's defense. Obviously, they're a stacking option with Taylor. However, they're also a great standalone option for games that want to fade chalky Taylor. If the Colts dominate this game as the spread suggests, the defense will be positioned to pin their ears back and stack up sacks against Tyrod Taylor. Unfortunately, the veteran signal-caller hasn't played enough snaps to be a qualified passer this year. Still, his 7.4% sack rate would tie for the ninth-highest mark among qualified quarterbacks this year. Sacks equate to fantasy points and opportunities to force fumbles, making the Colts an appealing defense in Week 13.
Texans Analysis: Houston's offense is terrible. However, a presumably negative game script should force them to throw, thrusting a pair of pass-catchers into GPP punt territory. According to Pro Football Focus, in the Texans' previous two games, Nico Collins and Brevin Jordan are second and third in routes with 43 and 30. In addition, Indy's defense isn't an especially imposing matchup for opposing passing attacks, ranking 20th in pass defense DVOA. So, Collins is on my radar in GPPs. Also, Jordan is an attractive pivot off the almost certainly chalky Foster Moreau, who has nearly an identical salary to Jordan's. Finally, according to Pro-Football-Reference, Indianapolis allows the fifth-most FanDuel and DraftKings points per game to tight ends.
Game: New York Giants at Miami Dolphins
Spread: MIA -4.0 Points
Over/Under: 40.5 Points
Giants Analysis: If you choose to fully fade Big Blue, especially with Mike Glennon possibly filling in for Daniel Jones, that's a fabulous decision. Nonetheless, Saquon Barkley is an enticing GPP option on DraftKings. In Week 12, this year's first game with Freddie Kitchens as the offensive coordinator, Barkley led running backs in snap share (87%). Further, he tied for sixth at the position in routes (24), drawing some passing snaps from the slot (four) and aligned wide (five). Barkley's Week 12 usage was workhorse variety, carrying the ball 13 times and hauling in four receptions. Yes, his 53 scoreless yards left a lot to be desired. Still, the usage is ideal, generating GPP viability.
Dolphins Analysis: Jaylen Waddle is having an excellent rookie season. Furthermore, he's shining at his brightest with Tua Tagovailoa. The second-year quarterback has attempted 234 passes, directing a team-high 62 Waddle's way for team-highs in receptions (45), receiving yards (502), air yards (520), and touchdowns (four). DeVante Parker might be back this week to muddy the pass distribution, but I still trust Waddle to lead the way.
Miami's defense is the other fantasy option I'm attracted to. The Giants have scored 25 points or fewer in seven straight games, scoring 20 or fewer in five of those contests. Moreover, their high for yards of offense in the last six games has been only 302 yards. Yikes. They're a roaring tire fire. Miami's defense is a stellar selection as home favorites against a dreadful offense potentially led by a backup quarterback.
Game: Minnesota Vikings at Detroit Lions
Spread: MIN -7.0 Points
Over/Under: 46.5 Points
Vikings Analysis: Minnesota's offense has a mouthwatering matchup this week. The Lions are 21st in rush defense DVOA and 28th pass defense DVOA. Alexander Mattison is positioned to take the reigns as a bell-cow back with Dalvin Cook tending to a shoulder injury. The third-year back has started two games for an injured Cook this year, erupting in both games (171 yards and six receptions, and 153 yards, seven receptions, and one touchdown). Wisely, both daily fantasy providers saddled him with a salary befitting Mattison's role, so he's a rock-solid option but not a bingo square.
Thus, this is a sweet spot to leverage Mattison possibly being chalky by hopping on Kirk Cousins, Justin Jefferson, and Adam Thielen in stacks or as standalone options. Cousins is ninth in passing yards per game (273.9) and tied for sixth in passing touchdowns (23).
As for the pass-catchers, according to Sports Info Solutions, Jefferson is second in Intended Air Yards (1,301). As a result, he's third in receiving yards per game (93.4). Further, Jefferson is projected as the WR2 at DraftKings and FanDuel in our optimizer.
Meanwhile, his running mate, Thielen, is a touchdown machine, tying for the NFL lead with 10 receiving scores. Predictably, Thielen's a monster in the red zone. According to our red zone stats, he's tied for the team lead in targets (14), leading the way in receptions (12) and touchdowns (nine). In scoring territory, he has surreal chemistry with Cousins. As a result, Thielen is also projected as a top-10 receiver in Week 13 at both daily fantasy providers.
Lions Analysis: Detroit's offense has been a fantasy wasteland this year outside of T.J. Hockenson and D'Andre Swift. I'll pass on Hockenson this week, and Swift is hurt. In Swift's absence, Lions coach Dan Campbell reportedly said Jamaal Williams, Godwin Igwebuike, and Jermar Jefferson will divvy up the backfield duties. This is an offense to avoid.
Game: Philadelphia Eagles at New York Jets
Spread: PHI -7.0 Points
Over/Under: 45.0 Points
Eagles Analysis: I've touted Quez Watkins twice already this week. First, I highlighted his case for dart-throw usage in traditional season-long leagues. Second, I analyzed him as one of my favorite FanDuel value plays. The cliff notes version of my analysis in the linked pieces is that he's a vertical-option facing a team yielding the highest average explosive pass rate this year, per Sharp Football Stats. Still, you should check out the links for more nuanced analysis. Additionally, Watkins is also a great GPP value on DraftKings.
Philadelphia's defense is also an attractive GPP pick against struggling rookie Zach Wilson. This year, the rookie quarterback is taking sacks at the second-highest rate (10.1%). Further, according to Pro Football Focus, Wilson has had the third-highest turnover-worthy play percentage (5.2 TWP%) among quarterbacks with at least 50 dropbacks this year. It doesn't get better for a daily fantasy defense than being favored and facing a quarterback that takes sacks at a sky-high rate and routinely puts the ball in harm's way.
Jets Analysis: I initially included rookie Elijah Moore as a playable option in daily fantasy games this week. Unfortunately, even with his excellent usage and impressive game logs, I can't convince myself he's worth investing in attached to Wilson. Remarkably, Moore has played better with all of Gang Green's other quarterbacks. In fact, Moore has yet to eclipse 50 receiving yards or catch a touchdown in six games with Wilson starting. Finally, the nail in his coffin is a challenging matchup. Philadelphia allows the third-fewest DraftKings and FanDuel points per game to receivers.
Game: Arizona Cardinals at Chicago Bears
Spread: ARI -7.5 Points
Over/Under: 43.5 Points
Cardinals Analysis: Kyler Murray hasn't played football in more than a month. Thus, I'm leery of his ability to return to the gridiron seamlessly. We've seen other elite quarterbacks stumble after missing games this year, namely Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson, come to mind. As a result, I will not use Murray or his pass-catchers this week.
Still, James Conner is an excellent option. The former Steeler is a workhorse in Chase Edmonds' absence, totaling 52 rush attempts, 197 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, 15 targets, 13 receptions, 139 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown in the previous three games.
I will not use Arizona's defense at their exorbitant salary on FanDuel, but they're a viable GPP play on DraftKings. Rookie Justin Fields is working through rib fractures. Given his propensity to take sacks, owning the highest sack rate (13.5%) among qualified passers, I prefer he starts if chasing Arizona's defensive upside. Nevertheless, Andy Dalton isn't a quarterback to fade a defense against if he's tabbed the starter this week.
Bears Analysis: David Montgomery squandered a plum draw against the Lions on Thanksgiving. Still, he's a rebound candidate based on his ideal workload. Monty played the highest snap share (95%) among running backs in Week 11 and the second-highest snap share (84%) in Week 12. The bell-cow back's matchup is mid-pack, with Arizona ranking 15th in rush defense DVOA. However, they're prone to gashings on the ground. Arizona yields the highest average explosive run rate (17%). No, obviously, Montgomery isn't a back most fans think of as an explosive runner. Still, he has a 41-yard run on his ledger in 2021, and he's rushed for 10-plus yards on 11.5% of his attempts. So, he has enough juice to exploit Arizona's propensity for coughing up explosive runs.
Darnell Mooney is quarterback-proof. So, I'm not concerned about which Bear gets the start this week. The second-year wideout is 17th in Intended Air Yards (1,013) and seventh in target share (27.6%). In addition, he's playing his best ball lately, exploding for 10 receptions, 244 receiving yards, two rushing yards, and a touchdown on an eye-popping 24 targets in the previous two games.
Game: Los Angeles Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals
Spread: CIN -3.0 Points
Over/Under: 50.5 Points
Chargers Analysis: This is one of my favorite games to stack this week. The likely chalkiest move is stacking Justin Herbert with Keenan Allen or Mike Williams, running it back with Joe Mixon. However, using all three players together, stacking Herbert with pass-catching back Austin Ekeler, or leveraging the chalky stack with Ekeler and a Cinci passing attack bring-back are enticing alternatives.
Herbert has passed for the fourth-most yards per game (293.6) and fifth-most touchdown passes. Allen is his clear-cut top option, tallying the league's eighth-highest target share (27.2%). The veteran route-running savant has parlayed his robust target share into the third-most receptions (7.4) and seventh-most receiving yards per game (81.4).
Unfortunately, Williams hasn't produced the same level of consistency as his stud receiver teammate. However, he's settled into a less-volatile average depth of target of 7.1 yards downfield in the Chargers' last three games, per Pro Football Focus, netting 18 targets. Fortunately, he still has the vertical element in his bag of tricks if the Chargers try to deploy it.
Finally, Ekeler has done it all this season. He's averaging 12.3 rush attempts and 4.6 receptions per game, resulting in 97.9 total yards per game. Ekeler's a game-script-proof back with a sky-high ceiling thanks to the new coaching staff using him in scoring territory. Through 11 games, Ekeler's already set a new single-season high for touchdowns with 14. As a result, he's one of the best bets every week to produce a top-five running back finish.
Bengals Analysis: Mixon has been a man on fire. He's scored precisely two touchdowns in four straight games. He's also produced triple-digit scrimmage yards in three straight, amassing 91 yards in the outlier game during his four-game two-touchdown streak. This is an apparent smash spot for him, as the Chargers are dead last in rush defense DVOA. As a result, I expect him to rightfully rival Taylor for being the highest-rostered running back this week.
An intriguing GPP leverage play is using Ekeler from the Chargers and running it back with Joe Burrow and any one or two of Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Tyler Boyd. With Mixon steamrolling the opposition in Cincinnati's last two games, Burrow didn't need to reach even 30 pass attempts in either contest. Still, throwing out the first three games of the year, when the team was easing Burrow back from last year's season-ending injury, when the offensive scoring margin ranges from trailing by seven points to leading by seven points (which I'll refer to as a neutral game script from now on) since Week 4, the Bengals pass at the fifth-highest rate (61%). Therefore, they're willing to air it out if the situation beckons it. More importantly, Burrow has thrived when leaned on.
Chase is Cincinnati's best receiver. In addition, the rookie is one of the most efficient receivers in the NFL already. According to Pro Football Focus, among 72 receivers with a minimum of 30 targets this year, Chase is seventh in yards per route run (2.46 Y/RR). Also, he's fourth in yards per target (11.0 Y/Tgt) and third in yards per reception (18.1 Y/R).
Last week, Higgins was the hero in the receiving corps, though. Higgins' underlying stats teased a big game, and it came through in the box score last week with six receptions, 114 receiving yards, and one touchdown. Finally, Boyd might be the best matchup fit as a short-area target against a defense limiting explosive passing plays. Unfortunately, Boyd has essentially been the man left out in the passing attack with the addition of Chase. However, he showcased rapport with Burrow last year, and he has a 9-118-0 and 5-69-1 line on his game log this year. So, he has had a couple of pop-up performances.
Finally, I'm uneasy using Cincinnati's defense at FanDuel. However, it's the only sub-$4,000 punt I'm willing to take a chance on. They're home favorites against a west-coast team playing in the Eastern Timezone. Those are good starting points for using them. In addition, they're a thoroughly average defense across the board. Finally, there's a correlation benefit to using them with Mixon. If the game script allows Mixon to steamroll the Chargers, the visitors might also be stuck in predictable passing situations, playing catch-up.
Game: Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Atlanta Falcons
Spread: TB -11.0 Points
Over/Under: 50.5 Points
Buccaneers Analysis: The Buccaneers have the highest implied total on the slate. Predictably, their offense is littered with elite daily fantasy options. Tom Brady is projected as the QB2, Leonard Fournette is projected as a top-five running back, Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are projected as top-10 receivers, and Rob Gronkowski is projected as TE3. In addition, as double-digit favorites, the defense is projected as the DST2 this week. It's a fantasy treasure trove.
I encourage using players from the Bucs. Instead of diving into each player, I'll point out a few overarching numbers. First, Tampa Bay passes at the second-highest rate (66%) in neutral game scripts. Second, they pass at the fifth-highest rate (57% versus the league average of 45%) when leading by 10 points or more. Thus, Brady and Co. might pile up points from start to finish, even if this turns into the expected blowout.
However, don't discount another big game from Lenny. Atlanta is 23rd in rush defense DVOA, and the Bucs are first in Adjusted Line Yards. Also, the spread offers hope the Bucs will destroy the Falcons, allowing them to grind the game out with Fournette.
Finally, Tampa Bay's defense has wreaked havoc this year, ranking fourth in turnovers forced (23) and sixth in pressure rate (27.3%). If this game goes according to plan, they should tee off on Matt Ryan and Atlanta's hapless offense in the wake of Calvin Ridley's leave from the team.
Falcons Analysis: Kyle Pitts and Cordarelle Patterson are electrifying players that can make me look foolish for fading them. Still, Atlanta's offense has been a disaster without Ridley. Thus, I'll look elsewhere this week.
Game: Washington Football Team at Las Vegas Raiders
Spread: LV -2.5 Points
Over/Under: 49.5 Points
Football Team Analysis: This is another game I love for stacking. Antonio Gibson is underpriced, thanks to the Football Team's Monday Night Football game last week coming after salaries were released for Week 13. The second-year back has been a workhorse in three straight wins, coming out of Washington's Week 9 bye. He's toted the rock 72 times for 270 yards and two touchdowns. Gibson has also hauled in all nine of his targets for 49 yards. Gibson's spike week in the passing game last week is encouraging, and he might be in store for receiving work again this week. Unfortunately, J.D. McKissic suffered a concussion last week. He has yet to practice this week. As a result, Gibson is popping in our optimizer, holding the third-highest value score at DraftKings and the second-highest value score at FanDuel among running backs. I advise locking Gibson into cash games but don't be shy about using him in GPPs as well.
Gibson should be a popular option in daily games this week, enhancing the appeal of stacking Taylor Heinicke and Terry McLaurin in GPPs or using Washington's top receiver as a solo bring-back option from the Raiders. In 10 starts this year, Heinicke averages 249.1 passing yards and 26.2 rushing yards per game, tossing 15 touchdowns and scampering for one. He's the cheapest quarterback I'm willing to use this week.
Meanwhile, McLaurin is a volatile GPP option. The third-year receiver has seven games with under 65 receiving yards without a touchdown. On the flip side, he has four games with 100-plus receiving yards and at least one touchdown. Therefore, when McLaurin booms, he booms. Consequently, he's the poster child for embracing volatility for upside in GPPs.
Raiders Analysis: I've gushed about Derek Carr and Foster Moreau elsewhere this week. Check out my 5 NFL FanDuel Value Plays to Target in Week 13 piece at numberFire for a deeper analysis. The quick summary is that Carr has balled out when the receiving corps has included a legitimate deep threat. At first, that deep threat was Henry Ruggs. Then, Ruggs was waived after driving recklessly and getting into a fatal car accident, and Carr struggled mightily. However, he bounced back to early-season form last week -- more on the player who might have unlocked the excellent version of Carr to come.
As for Moreau, he's the next-man-up with Darren Waller deemed week to week. The third-year tight end was rock-solid replacing an injured Waller in Week 7, snaring all six of his targets for 60 receiving yards and a score. Additionally, he has eye-catching measurables, as you can see on Player Profiler. Our optimizer loves him at DraftKings, awarding him the highest value score among all players this week.
Other pass-catchers I love on the Raiders are Hunter Renfrow and DeSean Jackson. Renfrow might absorb many of the targets Waller vacates this week. Without Waller in Week 7, Renfrow hauled in seven of eight targets for 58 yards in a challenging matchup. Last week, with Waller leaving early, Renfrow tied his season-high for nine targets, setting season-highs with eight receptions and 134 receiving yards. This week, he has a tasty matchup, with Washington coughing up the fourth-most DraftKings and FanDuel points per game to receivers.
DeSean Jackson is the player I teased in Carr's write-up, and here he is. It took him a couple of games to get up to speed, but he ran a season-high 24 routes last week. In addition, the veteran speedster reminded folks he doesn't need a full complement of plays and routes to make an impact, hauling in all three of his targets for 102 yards and a touchdown. Jackson is a boom-or-bust GPP option who might cure what ailed the offense without Ruggs.
Game: Jacksonville Jaguars at Los Angeles Rams
Spread: LAR -12.5 Points
Over/Under: 48.0 Points
Jaguars Analysis: James O'Shaughnessy was the player I was closest to featuring from the Jaguars. However, with an abundance of value options and top-flight picks at tight end, I prefer to avoid the stench of Jacksonville's offense entirely.
Rams Analysis: Like the Bucs above, the Rams are an offense you should have exposure to this weekend. Usually, I would be all over Darrell Henderson Jr., with the Rams favored by double-digit points. Unfortunately, he's dealing with a thigh injury, casting doubt on his availability or ability to handle his regular bell-cow duties if he plays. If he's out, Sony Michel is an elite punt play. However, the tone doesn't strike me as pessimistic for Henderson playing this week. So, I didn't include Michel in the table.
I love the passing attack this week, though. The Jaguars are dead last in pass defense DVOA. Matthew Stafford hasn't been sharp lately, making this a nifty get-right spot for Sean McVay to allow Stafford to iron out the kinks. Even with his recent underwhelming play, Stafford has passed for the third-most yards per game (301.5), second-most touchdowns, and most adjusted net yards per pass attempt (7.97 ANY/A).
Cooper Kupp is the cream of the crop in this offense. This week, the thriving Kupp offers a double-dose of daily fantasy goodness, projecting as the WR1 with the top value score at the position on both daily fantasy providers. I don't need to expand upon his case for usage. He's an elite option in all game types.
Meanwhile, Odell Beckham Jr. and Van Jefferson are excellent GPP picks. In Week 12, Jefferson led the team in routes (41), and OBJ was second (40). They helped fantasy squads, with the second-year vet ripping off a 3-93-1 line and the veteran popping off for a 5-81-1 line. In addition, they're tailor-made for a matchup with the Jaguars. In two games without Robert Woods, with Jefferson and OBJ complementing Kupp in the passing game, the former has an average depth of target of 16.3 yards, and the latter has an average depth of target of 14.5 yards. Meanwhile, the Jags allow the fifth-highest average explosive pass rate (11%).
Game: Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers
Spread: BAL -4.5 Points
Over/Under: 44.0 Points
Ravens Analysis: No, I'm not inadvertently overlooking Lamar Jackson. Also, no, I was not overreacting to his disastrous four-interception game on Sunday Night Football last week. Instead, I'm eyeing Jackson's whole body of work this year and admittedly small sample against the Steelers. This year, Jackson has recorded his lowest touchdown pass percentage (4.4%), lowest adjusted net yards per pass attempt (5.97 ANY/A), highest interceptions rate (3.5%), and second-highest sack rate (8.1%). Further, since 2019, Jackson has passed for only 369 yards, three touchdowns, and five interceptions in two games against the Steelers, taking nine sacks for good measure. Sure, he's rushed for 135 scoreless yards, but Jackson's recent struggles coupled with Pittsburgh stumping him provide me enough incentive to fade his top-dollar salary.
Still, Baltimore has one daily fantasy option I'm honed in on. Mark Andrews is a stud. Among tight ends, he has run the third-most routes (383), ranking second in targets (86), receptions (60), and receiving yards (761), tying for fourth in touchdown receptions (five), and tying for this in yards per route run (1.99 Y/RR) among tight ends targeted at least 25 times. As a result, we project him to top tight ends in scoring this week. Additionally, with a handful of enticing mid-tier and punt options at the position, he might fly under the radar, enhancing his GPP appeal.
Steelers Analysis: The Ravens aren't an elite pass defense like in previous years. Instead, they are 24th in pass defense DVOA. So, even with a washed-up Ben Roethlisberger, target-hog Diontae Johnson is a high-floor and high-ceiling pick. Johnson is 15th in Intended Air Yards (1,069) and 10th in target share (26.0%). Additionally, he's a model of consistency. Johnson has caught five or more passes, eclipsed 70 yards, or scored a touchdown in all 10 games he's played this year. Moreover, he has 13 targets or more in three straight games and five of his last six games.
Behind Johnson, Pat Freiermuth has emerged as a rock-solid second option for the Steelers. Since Week 6, among tight ends, he has the 13th-most receiving yards (176), tied for the sixth-most targets (28), tied for the fourth-most receptions (21), and tied for the second-most touchdown receptions (three). Unfortunately, the rookie suffered a concussion last week. Still, he was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice, suggesting he's progressing through the NFL's concussion protocol at a rate that will allow him to suit up this week.
The news isn't as promising for Pittsburgh's defense. Star pass-rusher T.J. Watt is on the Reserve/COVID-19 list. However, his vaccination status and the reason for his placement on the list are unclear. So, if he's activated for this week's game, Pittsburgh's defense is a contrarian GPP pick, thanks to Jackson taking sacks and routinely putting the ball in harm's way lately.
Game: San Francisco 49ers at Seattle Seahawks
Spread: SF -3.0 Points
Over/Under: 45.5 Points
49ers Analysis: Deebo Samuel is expected to miss at least this game, tending to a groin injury. The do-it-all receiver's absence elevates the floor and ceiling for Elijah Mitchell, George Kittle, and Brandon Aiyuk. Recently, Samuel has been deployed as a hybrid weapon, absorbing some touches in the backfield. Samuel's role adjustment didn't hurt Mitchell, per se, as he toted the rock precisely 27 times in back-to-back games. Still, less competition for carries is a plus. Mitchell has had a head-turning rookie season, rushing for the fourth-most yards per game (86.6). The sixth-round pick has flashed pass-catching competence the last few weeks, too, hauling in five receptions in two of his last three games. With the 49ers favored, Mitchell should have a good game script for piling up carries. As a result, he is projected as the RB7 with the sixth-best value score for a running back at FanDuel, and he's projected as the RB5 with the second-highest value score for a running back at DraftKings in our optimizer.
Kittle snapped a three-game touchdown streak since returning from last week in Week 12. In addition, he hauled in only one of two targets for 13 yards. Nevertheless, he's still an elite tight end. Among tight ends targeted at least 30 times this year, he's tied for third with 1.99 Y/RR. So, if his target share increases without Samuel, a blow-up game could be in the cards. As a result, Kittle is the TE2 in our projections, boasting the highest value score at the position on FanDuel.
Meanwhile, Aiyuk has reverted to his superb rookie form lately. In the previous four games with Kittle back in the fold, Aiyuk has been first on the 49ers in routes (113), targets (25), receptions (19), and receiving yards (291), rounding out his contributions with a pair of touchdowns. As a result, the second-year receiver is reasonably priced on FanDuel. However, I think he's a pinch underpriced on DraftKings. As a result, he has the sixth-highest value score among wideouts on DraftKings.
Seahawks Analysis: I can't fault anyone if they fade Seattle's struggling offense. Russell Wilson hasn't been his typically brilliant self since returning from the injured reserve. Nonetheless, Gerald Everett is someone I might use as a pivot off Moreau in GPPs on FanDuel. In Everett's previous four games with Wilson, he has 26 targets, 21 receptions, 191 yards, and one touchdown.
