Week 13 Start ’Em: Wide ReceiversStart of the Week
Brandon Aiyuk at Eagles (4:25 p.m. ET, Fox): Aiyuk posted a modest 13 points in last week’s win over the Seahawks, but I like him to explode this week in what is a plus matchup in Philadelphia. The Eagles defense has been awful against the perimeter, allowing 12 touchdowns and the most fantasy points to the position. In what could be a high-scoring affair, I’m starting Aiyuk with a lot of confidence.

Start ’Em
Michael Pittman Jr. at Titans (1 p.m. ET, CBS): Pittman continues to shine in the stat sheets, scoring 20.7 points in last week’s win over the Buccaneers. He has another nice matchup this week, facing a Titans defense that’s allowed the fifth-most points per game to perimeter receivers in the last four weeks. So, despite being held to 10.2 against them back in Week 5, Pittman is a nice start ’em.
Christian Kirk vs. Bengals (Mon. 8:15 p.m. ET, ESPN): Calvin Ridley has been the best Jaguars wideout in the last two weeks, but I’m sticking with Kirk as a flex option. He just missed scoring a touchdown last week in Houston, which would have bulked up his stat line, and an upcoming matchup against the Bengals is favorable. Their defense has allowed the ninth-most points a game to the slot.
Marquise Brown at Steelers (1 p.m. ET, CBS): Brown woke up last week, as he was targeted 12 times and scored 14.8 points despite missing practice. With six teams off this week, I’d start him against the Steelers. Their defense has allowed 12-plus points to wideouts 12 times, including five with more than 19 points and three with over 30 points. As long as he’s active, Brown is a viable flex option.
George Pickens vs. Cardinals (1 p.m. ET, CBS): The Steelers offense was far more productive in its first game without Matt Canada at the helm, but Pickens still scored just 8.8 points. I have a feeling he’ll get off the schneid this week, though, as the Cardinals have allowed the fifth-most points per game to the perimeter. I’d also expect Pickens to see more targets after Diontae Johnson dogged it last week.
