Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 13 Half PPR Rankings

5.
Austin Ekeler
RB - (at CIN)
The Chargers face the Bengals this week, and this could be a terrific matchup for a pass-catching ace like Ekeler. The Bengals have given up 614 receiving yards to opposing RBs, the fourth-highest total in the league. Cincinnati's opponents have targeted their running backs 107 times this season. No other team has yielded more than 98 targets to opposing RBs. Ekeler is the RB2 in fantasy scoring this year behind only Jonathan Taylor, and he's the RB3 this week. He's a sturdy DraftKings cash-game anchor at $8,300.

Keenan Allen
WR - (at CIN)
Allen has been a rock for the Chargers this season, especially over the last month or so. He's drawn double-digit targets in five consecutive games, averaging 8.4 receptions and 95.2 receiving yards over that stretch. Allen has scored only two touchdowns this season and is averaging 11.0 yards per catch, but Allen has one of the safest weekly fantasy floors of any receiver in the league. He has a tricky individual matchup this week against Bengals slot corner Mike Hilton, but Allen is still the WR8 this week and a compelling DraftKings option at $7,500.

52.
Mike Williams
WR - (at CIN)
Stakeholders were hoping that Williams had ended a monthlong slump with a 5-97-1 performance against the Steelers in Week 11 (fueled mostly by a long, late touchdown), but he had only 4-39-0 against the Broncos in Week 12. On the bright side, Williams drew eight targets against Denver. It was the first time he had seen more than six targets in a game since Week 5. Williams has a favorable individual matchup against Bengals CB Eli Apple this week, but he's still just a midrange WR3. He's on sale at DraftKings at only $5,700, making him a tempting GPP play.

Jared Cook
TE - (at CIN)
In 11 games this season, Cook has finished with between 25 and 29 yards on seven different occasions. He's only topped 50 yards twice. Cook is the TE18 in fantasy points per game, and he's the TE22 in this week's rankings.
