Week 12 of the NFL Season is in the books. Here are the Week 13 wide receiver rankings for fantasy football. No teams are on bye this week with the Thanksgiving schedule . The receivers who are questionable with injuries are Drake London, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Brian Thomas Jr., while Tee Higgins is out with a concussion.


New England Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis III (7) breaks up a pass to Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (5) in the fourth quarter of the NFL Week 12 game between the Cincinnati Bengals and the New England Patriots at Paycor Stadium in downtown Cincinnati on Sunday, Nov. 23, 2025. The Bengals fall to 3-8 with a 26-20 loss at home.

Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings Week 13

Tier 1: Superstar WR1s

Rank Player Opponent
1 Jaxon Smith-Njigba Minnesota Vikings
2 Puka Nacua Carolina Panthers
3 Ja’Marr Chase Baltimore Ravens
4 Rashee Rice Dallas Cowboys
5 CeeDee Lamb Kansas City Chiefs
6 Amon-Ra St. Brown Green Bay Packers
7 A.J. Brown Chicago Bears
8 George Pickens Kansas City Chiefs
9 Davante Adams Carolina Panthers
10 Drake London* New York Jets

These are the top ten wide receivers in fantasy football this week:

  • Rice continues to be amazing since returning from his suspension, having his fourth top-twelve finish in five games. He caught eight passes for 141 yards in the Chiefs’ overtime victory last week. He gets a great matchup against the Cowboys defense on Thanksgiving afternoon.
  • Adams is running away with the receiving touchdown crown after catching two more in the Sunday Night Football victory, upping his total to twelve. The next highest is St. Brown with nine. When the Rams get in close, quarterback Matthew Stafford routinely looks to Adams.

Tier 2: Proven Solid WR2s

Rank Player Opponent
11 Nico Collins Indianapolis Colts
12 Emeka Egbuka Arizona Cardinals
13 Chris Olave Miami Dolphins
14 Jaylen Waddle New Orleans Saints
15 Ladd McConkey Las Vegas Raiders
16 Tetairoa McMillan Los Angeles Rams
17 Zay Flowers Cincinnati Bengals
18 Justin Jefferson Seattle Seahawks
19 Keenan Allen Las Vegas Raiders
20 Marvin Harrison Jr.* Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The players in this tier are all must-starts this week and will provide plenty of fantasy value throughout the season:

  • Egbuka has not been great over the last couple of weeks, but he is still seeing a high target share. He has at least eight targets in five straight games, despite only having one fantasy finish inside the top 30. However, he has only caught 21 of 51 passes from Mayfield. Expect them to get back on track against the Cardinals this week. If Mayfield were to miss this game with an injury, Egbuka would drop into the WR3 tier.
  • The Jefferson struggles continue after another poor performance, catching just four passes for 48 yards. He only has one top ten fantasy finish on the season. Quarterback J.J. McCarthy is in concussion protocol, so the rookie Max Brosmer is likely to start. This could be another rough week for Jefferson.

Tier 3: WR3s With Something to Prove

Rank Player Opponent
21 Brian Thomas Jr.* Tennessee Titans
22 Michael Pittman Jr. Houston Texans
23 Wan’Dale Robinson New England Patriots
24 DeVonta Smith Chicago Bears
25 Rome Odunze Philadelphia Eagles
26 Michael Wilson Tampa Bay Buccaneers
27 Courtland Sutton Washington Commanders
28 Quentin Johnston Las Vegas Raiders
29 Stefon Diggs New York Giants
30 Khalil Shakir Pittsburgh Steelers

This tier of players includes wide receivers who are all borderline WR starts this week, depending on the size of your league:

  • Robinson had his best game of the season, scoring 30.6 fantasy points. He caught nine of 14 targets for 156 yards and a touchdown. He has now seen at least nine targets in five of the last six games. Robinson is a top 20 wide receiver in PPR points per game so far. Expect another high target share for Robinson regardless of who is playing quarterback for the Giants.
  • Depending on how long Harrison Jr. is out, Wilson could become the waiver wire pickup of the year. He has back-to-back weeks as a top ten fantasy wide receiver. If Harrison were to miss again, Wilson would be a top 20 play for Week 13 in the wide receiver rankings.

Tier 4: Potential Flex WRs

Rank Player Opponent
31 Troy Franklin Washington Commanders
32 DK Metcalf Buffalo Bills
33 Christian Watson Detroit Lions
34 Romeo Doubs Detroit Lions
35 Alec Pierce Houston Texans
36 Deebo Samuel Denver Broncos
37 Jameson Williams Green Bay Packers
38 Jauan Jennings Cleveland Browns
39 Jayden Higgins Indianapolis Colts
40 Tre Tucker Los Angeles Chargers

These guys are FLEX options to fill out your starting lineup:

  • Watson led the Packers with seven targets, five receptions, and 49 receiving yards. No other Packer caught more than two receptions. For the moment, Watson is the receiver to have on the Packers, but none are more than a FLEX option for the Thanksgiving Day game against the Lions.
