Cameron Brate caught three passes for 36 yards in Sunday’s win over the Panthers.

Brate was targeted six times, which was tied for second on the team, but he couldn’t have a big day against a defense that has really struggled to defend tight ends. Look for the Harvard grad to bounce back next week against the Saints, but he probably won’t be a no-doubt TE1 option for Week 14.

Michael Crabtree catches three passes in Week 13.

Crabtree gained 36 yards on his three receptions versus the Falcons. Unless Joe Flacco returns to the lineup for Baltimore, Crabtree likely needs a touchdown to deliver solid fantasy value for the first week of the fantasy playoffs, even in deeper leagues.

Davante Adams scores against the Cardinals.

Adams caught eight passes (on 13 targets) for 93 yards and a touchdown in the Packers’ Week 13 loss. The score was on a fourth down in the second quarter, when Adams got open in the back of the end zone and made a nice leaping catch while getting both feet in bounds. Adams has at least 81 yards or a touchdown in every game this season, so he’s as good as it gets in fantasy lineups. Continue firing him up as a top-notch WR1 for the first week of fantasy playoffs when he faces the Falcons next week.

Mark Andrews leads the Ravens in Week 13 receiving.

Andrews caught all three targets against the Falcons, gaining 47 yards on his three receptions. In a crowded tight end group, Andrews looks like the clear top option of the bunch at the moment.

Mike Evans held in check as Bucs improve to 5-7.

Evans caught four passes for 48 yards in the win, as Chris Godwin (5/101/1) and Adam Humphries (7/61/1) both had more success for Tampa Bay. The former No. 7 overall pick has been a bit hit-or-miss this season, but he is on pace for a career-high in receiving yards with four games to go. Next week, Evans will look for a repeat of his 147 yards and a score against New Orleans in the opener, but he is probably better viewed as a WR2 than WR1 with the expectation that Marshon Lattimore will shadow him.

Ty Montgomery gets eight touches against the Falcons.

Montgomery carried three times for 13 yards and caught five passes for 42 yards in the Ravens’ Week 13 victory. Montgomery worked as the preferred receiving back for Baltimore, and he’ll likely continue working as such moving forward. He’s moving towards becoming a PPR FLEX option, particularly in deep leagues.

Jared Goff, Rams passing attack held in check in Week 13 win.

Goff was 17/33 for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the 30-16 victory. He also lost a fumble. The performance was a surprise considering Los Angeles was coming off a bye to prepare, but Detroit made things tough on Sean McVay’s offense. Goff should bounce back next Sunday night against the Bears, as they are better attacked through the air than on the ground. Keep the MVP candidate in lineups as a high-end QB1.
