On this jam-packed Week 13, the NFL does not have any teams on bye. Therefore, fantasy football managers will prove spoiled for choice when they set their lineups.
The good times keep rolling, though: Joe Burrow is expected to return under center just in time for Ja'Marr Chase's return from a one-game suspension.
Unfortunately, an important teammate -- one many fantasy players have been starting every week -- will not suit up.
Either way, Thanksgiving Day itself is stocked with elite wide receivers who many will use for lineup spots even before a busy weekend.
Tag along as we break down Week 13's wide receiver rankings in a crucial chapter in your chase for a fantasy playoff spot.

Who are the top fantasy wide receivers for Week 13?
Many of the top wideouts play each other on Thanksgiving, encompassing Packers-Lions (Amon-Ra St. Brown), Cowboys-Chiefs (George Pickens, CeeDee Lamb, Rashee Rice), and Bengals-Ravens (Ja'Marr Chase).
It's tough to diminish Rams wideouts' production, so we're grouping Puka Nacua and Davante Adams together within the top 10. Most fantasy managers will agree.
Underrated returning names from bye who must be in lineups are the Dolphins' Jaylen Waddle and the Chargers' Ladd McConkey, both residing within the top 15.

Who are the top Week 13 fantasy sleepers at wide receiver?
The Titans' secondary always presents an opportunity for cushy WR fantasy scoring. For Week 13, the matchup-bump honor goes to Jaguars wideouts Brian Thomas Jr. (if active, ankle), Parker Washington, and Jakobi Meyers.
While Josh Allen's top receiving option is TE Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir should get a PPR surge against a soft Steelers defensive backfield that's ranked as a top-10 favorable matchup for the position through most of the season.
The 49ers leak wideout points as one of the friendliest matchups against the position in the past four weeks. With Shedeur Sanders starting for the Browns, Jerry Jeudy slots as a solid WR3, with Cedric Tillman and Isaiah Bond ranking as dart throws in a tantalizing matchup.

Who are the biggest Week 13 fantasy bust candidates at wide receiver?
Wideouts facing the Texans run into stingy cornerback play, meaning fading the Colts' WRs this week makes sense. Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce are worth starting for their big-play ability, but it's likely going to be more of a Tyler Warren game for Daniel Jones.
After a touchdown salvaged his day against the 49ers on Monday Night Football, Tetairoa McMillan must deal with the Rams' defense in Week 13. Expect Bryce Young to have a tough go pushing the ball downfield.
