Fantasy Football: One QB, RB, WR, and TE primed for huge Week 13 performances
By Lior Lampert
WR: Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers
There has been a lot of suspense and trash talk between the 49ers and Eagles leading up to a Week 13 rematch of last season’s NFC Championship Game, with Deebo Samuel being firmly in the thick of it.
The 49ers are seeking revenge after they got the short end of the stick in last season’s postseason meeting while the Eagles are looking to reassert their dominance atop the NFC, setting up for an exciting game from both a fantasy and real-life perspective.
Per Yahoo Fantasy’s social media account on X (also known as Twitter), the Eagles have allowed the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season. They also rank 29th in the NFL in opponent passing yards per game (255.7).
Samuel has also been more involved in the highly coveted “wide back” role, earning multiple rush attempts in five of his past six games. In a highly-anticipated game between two of the best teams in the NFL, expect stars like Samuel to step up when their team needs it most with huge performances.
