As fantasy football managers navigate the crucial stretch run, identifying sleepers can be paramount to securing a playoff berth or advancing deep into the postseason. Week 13 offers several intriguing options who could provide a boost to your lineup.
### Bryce Young, QB, Tennessee Titans
**Matchup: vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (29th in pass defense DVOA)**
With Ryan Tannehill sidelined by an ankle injury, Bryce Young is expected to make his first NFL start in Week 13. The former Heisman Trophy winner has an enticing matchup against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that ranks among the league’s worst against the pass. Young’s mobility and dual-threat ability give him a high ceiling, making him a potential sleeper in this favorable matchup.
### Gus Edwards, RB, Baltimore Ravens
**Matchup: vs. Denver Broncos (26th in run defense DVOA)**
Gus Edwards has emerged as the lead back in Baltimore following injuries to J.K. Dobbins and Kenyan Drake. The 27-year-old has averaged 4.9 yards per carry over the past three games and faces a Denver Broncos defense that has struggled to stop the run. With the Ravens expected to lean heavily on the ground game, Edwards could be a reliable RB2 or flex option in Week 13.
### Isaiah McKenzie, WR, Buffalo Bills
**Matchup: vs. New England Patriots (24th in pass defense DVOA)**
Isaiah McKenzie has taken advantage of an increased role in the Bills’ offense with Gabriel Davis sidelined by an ankle injury. In Week 12, he caught 6 passes for 83 yards and a touchdown. The Patriots’ defense has been vulnerable to opposing wide receivers, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. McKenzie could be a sneaky play in PPR leagues as a low-end WR3 or flex option.
### Ja’Marr Chase, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
**Matchup: vs. Kansas City Chiefs (29th in pass defense DVOA)**
While Ja’Marr Chase is hardly a sleeper in the traditional sense, his matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs is too good to ignore. The Chiefs’ defense has been torched by opposing wide receivers, and Chase is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the league. He could be in line for a massive performance in Week 13, making him a must-start in all fantasy formats.
### Allen Lazard, WR, Green Bay Packers
**Matchup: vs. Chicago Bears (20th in pass defense DVOA)**
Allen Lazard has quietly emerged as a reliable target for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. Over the past four games, he has averaged 5.5 receptions and 70.5 receiving yards per game. The Bears’ defense has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers, making Lazard a solid WR3 or flex option in Week 13.
### Christian Watson, WR, Green Bay Packers
**Matchup: vs. Chicago Bears (20th in pass defense DVOA)**
Another Packers wide receiver who could benefit from the matchup against the Bears is Christian Watson. The rookie has shown flashes of brilliance but has been inconsistent. However, with the Packers’ offense struggling, Watson could see an increased role in Week 13. He has the potential to be a boom-or-bust play with a high ceiling.
### Evan Engram, TE, Jacksonville Jaguars
**Matchup: vs. Tennessee Titans (31st in pass defense DVOA)**
Evan Engram has been a reliable target for Trevor Lawrence in Jacksonville, averaging over 6 targets per game. He faces a Titans defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Engram could be a solid TE1 option in Week 13, especially in PPR leagues.
