James White gets 13 touches against the Vikings.

White carried six times for 26 yards and caught seven passes for 92 yards in the Patriots’ Week 13 win. It was obvious Tom Brady was going to try to get the ball out of his hands quickly against Minnesota’s pass rush, and White benefited with a team-high nine targets and a team-high in receptions and yardage. Next up to start the fantasy playoffs, White faces a Dolphins team he scored twice against earlier this season.

Breshad Perriman caught two passes for 26 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Texans.

Perriman was able to bring in both of his looks, but Baker Mayfield struggled despite finishing with close to 400 yards. The former first-round pick isn’t a recommended fantasy play for the fantasy playoffs.

Julian Edelman catches three passes against the Vikings.

Edelman gained 25 yards on his three receptions, also adding two carries for 35 yards in New England’s Week 13 victory at home. The Vikings did a nice job of limiting Edelman throughout the game, and this was his lowest receiving total of the season. Edelman will look to have a bigger game next week against the Dolphins, and he’ll be a high-floor option in the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

Dontrell Hilliard caught four passes for 40 yards in Sunday’s loss to the Texans.

Hilliard saw extended playing time in the second half as Cleveland fell behind, but he isn’t on the fantasy radar behind Nick Chubb and Duke Johnson.

Dante Pettis explodes for 5/129/2 line in Week 13 loss.

Pettis was able to find the end zone from 17 yards away in the third quarter, and then he scored a 75-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter as the bright spot in a 43-16 defeat. San Francisco’s second-round rookie had been quiet since the opener, but over the past two weeks, he has combined for nine receptions, 206 yards, and three touchdowns. Look for Pettis to stay hot in Week 14, but it won’t be easy against the surging Denver defense.

Rashard Higgins goes for 4/62/1 in loss to the Texans.

Higgins was able to bring in all four of his targets as Cleveland played from behind in a 29-13 defeat. The 24-year-old will hopefully finish strong this year after injuries impacted him in October/November, but Higgins isn’t a strong fantasy play down the stretch.

Sony Michel totals 70 yards against the Vikings.

Michel carried 17 times for 63 yards and caught one pass for seven yards in the Patriots’ Week 13 victory. Minnesota is a tough defense, but Michel had a fine game by picking up positive yardage to help keep his offense ahead of the chains. The only downside to the game was that fullback James Develin punched in a couple of goal-line carries for touchdowns, but that’s just how things go sometimes. As expected, the rookie running back remained the clear lead runner with Rex Burkhead back in the lineup, and he’ll likely continue to be the lead ball-carrier next week against the Dolphins. Michel is back in the RB1 mix in an easier matchup to open the fantasy playoffs.
