Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 13 - DeVonta Smith and Michael Gallup

Wide receivers represent the deepest NFL position of the 2022 Fantasy Football season. This is due to the prolific passing games spread across the NFL, with every team using multiple wide receivers in their offensive schemes. This has resulted in more wide receivers emerging as capable fantasy contributors than any other position.

The long list of legitimate wide receivers for Fantasy Football makes it even more important for managers to pay close attention to their situations each week. Analyzing direct weekly matchups and recent individual performances is one way for fantasy managers to decide which wide receivers to target. It also helps you to know which others to avoid.

NFL Week 13 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: Start 'Em

Zay Jones - Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Detroit Lions

Zay Jones scored the fourth-most PPR points among all wide receivers in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens. This was his second top-five finish of the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has also been targeted ten or more times by Trevor Lawrence in four games this year. He has a great chance to keep things rolling against the Detroit Lions. They allow the most points per game in the NFL, while allowing the third-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

DeVonta Smith - Philadelphia Eagles vs. Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans are one of the best defenses in the NFL against opposing rushing attacks. They are also one of the worst at defending wide receivers, including allowing the second-most PPR points per game to the position. This is great news for DeVonta Smith, who already ranks among the top 30 wide receivers in total fantasy points this year.

Rookie George Pickens has established himself as the top wide receiver for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has also elevated his game since they turned over the starting quarterback job from Mitchell Trubisky to Kenny Pickett. He has an ideal matchup in Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons. They are one of only four teams allowing more than 32 fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Adam Thielen - Minnesota Vikings vs. New York Jets

The New York Jets have been one of the best overall defenses during the 2022 NFL season. They have been particularly good against wide receivers, allowing the third-fewest fantasy points per game. While Justin Jefferson must start every week in Fantasy Football, Adam Thielen should be avoided in Week 13. This is a difficult matchup for the Minnesota Vikings offense.

Michael Gallup - Dallas Cowboys vs. Indianapolis Colts

Michael Gallup has been extremely disappointing during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has only finished inside the top 40 wide receivers all year as he has struggled to receive consistent targets from Dak Prescott. Gallup can be avoided in Week 13, especially against the Indianapolis Colts' top-ranked fantasy defense against wide receivers.

Devin Duvernay opened the 2022 Fantasy Football season with five consecutive finishes among the top 40 wide receivers. This puts him in flex-range. He has been unable to keep up lately, finishing outside of this same range in five of the last six weeks. He's unlikely to turn things around against the Denver Broncos' stout defense. They allow the second-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
