Courtland Sutton and Jordan Addison are among my four must-start wide receivers for Week 13 of the fantasy football campaign.
A.J. Brown leads my Week 13 Top-50 rankings, which are listed below. Puka Nacua, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Nico Collins and Justin Jefferson join Brown inside the Top 5 of my rankings. Advertisement
CeeDee Lamb, Sutton, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Ja’Marr Chase and George Pickens join those pass catchers in my Top 10. Jakobi Meyers and Jerry Jeudy join Sutton and Addison as my four must-start plays.
Those who roster players dealing with injuries should monitor their status before plugging them into starting lineups.
No teams are on bye this week, which could lead to difficult lineup decisions. My rankings, which will be updated based on injuries and other factors, should assist in that deliberation.

Courtland Sutton
Sutton sits at No. 7 in my Week 13 rankings. The Denver Broncos pass catcher averaged the fourth-most fantasy points per game among wide receivers over the last four weeks.
He posted the second-most points among wide receivers in Week 12, when he hauled in eight catches for 97 yards and two scores. Sutton totaled at least six catches in each of his last five games. He eclipsed 95 receiving yards in three of those contests. He also scored three times over his last three appearances.
This week, Sutton and the Broncos will face a Cleveland Browns defense that allowed the fifth-most fantasy points and eighth-most receiving yards (157.2) per game to wide receivers through 12 weeks. They surrendered nine receiving scores to opposing wide receivers over their last six games.
Opposing quarterbacks threw at least two passing scores in five of the last six games against the Browns. Look for Broncos quarterback Drew Lock to join that group, with one of his scoring tosses finding Sutton.
Jakobi Meyers
Like Sutton, Meyers finished Week 12 as a fantasy football WR1 after a 10-catch, 121-yard performance in a Las Vegas Raiders loss to the Broncos. Advertisement
The Raiders pass catcher totaled at least 100 receiving yards in two of his last three games. He was targeted 32 targets over that span. This week, Meyers and the Raiders will face the Kansas City Chiefs, who allowed more than 55 yards to six different wide receivers over their last two games.
Meyers is a near lock to reach that total and should have several opportunities to find the end zone against a defense he scored against in Week 10. He is my No. 16 option and a solid WR2 play.
Jordan Addison
Addison, my No. 18 option, can be plugged in as a mid-range WR2 or high-end WR3 in Week 13 when his Minnesota Vikings face the Arizona Cardinals.
The Cardinals allowed the 14th-most receiving yards (151.4) per game to wide receivers through 12 weeks. Addison, the top fantasy football wide receiver in Week 12, is on a tear, with three scores over his last four games. He totaled a career-high 162 yards in Week 12 against a tough Chicago Bears pass defense.
Look for the second-year pass catcher to total at least seven catches for 70 yards in Week 13. He could again end up in WR1 territory if he scores his sixth touchdown of the season. Advertisement
Jerry Jeudy
Jeudy was the No. 7 wide receiver in fantasy football, in terms of points per game, over the last four weeks. He eclipsed 70 receiving yards in each of those games, including a 142-yard, one-score performance in Week 11.
This week, Jeudy and the Browns will battle the same Broncos defense that just allowed 121 yards to Jakobi Meyers. Browns quarterback Jameis Winston continues to provide enough volume to help his pass catchers produce for fantasy football teams. He threw for more than 300 yards and multiple scores in two of his last four games.
I expect Jeudy, who averaged 100 receiving yards per game over the last four weeks, to receive at least 10 targets from Winston in this matchup. He is my No. 22 play.
