Week 13 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Mark Andrews (TE – BAL)

“Full disclosure: I really don’t consider Mark Andrews a sleeper start, but given that he’s ranked outside the top 100, he is one here. The Ravens meet the Eagles in a battle of two Super Bowl contenders, both with high-powered offenses, and both have logos on their helmets with mean-looking birds (Note to self: always bet on the team with the ticked-off bird, haha). Anyway, expect a high-scoring game. Andrews is Lamar Jackson‘s go-to guy and has a decent chance of hitting paydirt. Meanwhile, Ringo’s go-to-play is telling terrible jokes. He has a decent chance of getting hit by his readers, haha!”

Adam Thielen (WR – CAR)

Adam Thielen returned to play last week and caught three of his four targets. Most of the yardage came on one play, but this was a good sign for his first game back. Also, this was against the Chiefs, who Carolina played tough. This week, he gets the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and we should continue to see his snaps increase from his injury. He is Bryce Young‘s most trusted target, and we should see him get more opportunities this week.”
David Heilman (Sports Gambling Podcast Network)

“In Adam Thielen’s first return to action last week since Week 3, he faced off against one of the league’s top defensive units. Though he wasn’t the main target earner, he did manage a three-for-57 line on just 61% of snaps. With breakout rookie TE Ja’Tavion Sanders likely out and facing a much worse defense in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Thielen double up his numbers from last week. As this week’s 106th overall player, I think he easily doubles up his ranking as well, with the upside to do much more damage. Give me the 34-year-old No. 1 Carolina wideout as the Panthers desperately try to keep pace with the Bucs offense.”
Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)

Devaughn Vele (WR – DEN)

Devaughn Vele because he has a great matchup against Cleveland. Vele has been able to benefit in recent weeks from the continued rise of Nix and the connection he has with Sutton. Vele has grabbed the No. 2 WR spot with a firm grip and does not look to let it go.”
Andrew Leduc (That Sports Podcast Network)

Devaughn Vele might not crack the top 100 in FantasyPros’ Flex rankings, but he’s a sneaky pick who could surprise fantasy managers this week. His matchup against the Cleveland Browns is appealing, as they’ve struggled against wide receivers, allowing 5.1 fantasy points above expectation and ranking 29th in fantasy points allowed with 31.7 FPPG given up to the position. Plus, Vele has posted two top-24 PPR finishes in his last three games. If you’re dealing with injuries and need a Flex option, he’s a solid choice to roll the dice on this week.”
