It’s the most wonderful time of the year!!! Yes, we do love when the air starts to cool, and leaves change color. I, for one, especially love Thanksgiving, where it’s socially acceptable to watch football all day while eating dinner about once an hour for eight hours beginning at around 1 pm. The fantasy football season is coming down to the wire, and many of us need to make the right decision every week when we set our lineups if we want to make it to the playoffs. The wide receiver position has been especially tough lately, as many previously unheralded players have been popping up in our top 10 wide receiver rankings each week.
Last week, the overall top 10 at wide receiver included names like Wandale Robinson, Michael Wilson, and Parker Washington. These three players are all every-week starters now for most fantasy formats, even if they aren’t in this week’s wide receiver rankings.
Some other names you should keep an eye on as the season winds down are John Metchie of the Jets, Darnell Mooney of the Falcons, Chimere Dike of the Titans, and Jayden Higgins of the Texans. All four players should be on rosters as a combination of injuries and personnel changes have opened up opportunities for all of them in their respective offenses. Let’s take a look at who the top 10 options are at wide receiver for this week.
Week 13 Wide Receiver Rankings
1) Jaxon Smith-Njigba vs. Vikings

He’s just the best receiver in the league. The end. The only thing we don’t love about this weekend’s matchup is the fact that the Vikings can’t seem to get out of their own way on offense, and they will likely have an undrafted rookie under center for this game. He can’t be much worse than JJ McCarthy has been, so let’s just hope that Minnesota can score a few points to keep Sam Darnold chucking the ball to his favorite target into the second half.

After a one-game suspension for an unfortunate spitting incident, Chase will be reunited with his best buddy, Joe Burrow, as the Bengals take on the Ravens with their backs squarely against the proverbial wall. In two games against Baltimore last season, Burrow peppered Chase to the tune of 21 catches for 257 yards and 5 touchdowns. That’s not a bad season for some receivers. It was like they were playing Madden on easy mode. I’m not saying that’s going to happen again on Thanksgiving, but I’m not not saying that it could. Get it? Good. Like you needed me to tell you to play Ja’Marr Chase.
