Tyler Higbee held to one reception in Week 13 win.

It went for six yards. The second-year tight end isn’t a recommended option for the fantasy playoffs.

Gerald Everett scores in win over the Cardinals.

Everett caught two passes for seven yards, including a one-yard touchdown. The rookie tight end isn’t a recommended fantasy option down the stretch, but he should make some plays for the contending Rams.

Geno Smith plays fine in Week 13.

Smith was in a difficult position making a start in place of long-time franchise quarterback Eli Manning, but he had a solid game against the Raiders. Smith was 21/34 for 212 yards and a touchdown (and two fumbles lost) while adding three carries for 13 yards and also making some plays outside the pocket with his legs. The touchdown was on a dime to the end zone to rookie tight end Evan Engram. He played OK in terms of throwing the ball and moving the offense considering the supporting cast around him, but Smith is not a fantasy option next week against Dallas.

Tyrell Williams catches one pass for eight yards in Week 13.

Williams will make some plays for the Chargers, but he’s difficult to trust in fantasy lineups.

Sammy Watkins finds the end zone in Week 13 win.

Watkins caught three passes for 38 yards, including an 11-yard score on a crossing route in the third quarter. The talented receiver was shadowed by Patrick Peterson for most of the afternoon, but he made up for the low yardage total with his fourth touchdown over the past five weeks. Watkins is averaging nearly 10 fantasy points per game over that stretch, which is impressive considering he faced the top-two corners in the league in Peterson and Xaiver Rhodes. Despite being written off by many, we would consider Watkins a high-upside WR2 with a cupcake schedule in the fantasy playoffs, including next week against the Eagles.

Antonio Gates gets four targets against the Browns.

The future Hall of Fame tight end was a reliable target over the middle for Philip Rivers, catching three passes for 32 yards in the Week 13 victory. Gates isn’t a fantasy option, but it’d be cool to see him help on playoff run in what could be his final season.

Travis Benjamin catches four passes in Week 13.

Benjamin gained 68 yards on his four receptions (six targets), including a long of 39 yards for the speedster. It’s good to see he’s had at least 50 yards in each of the last two games, but Benjamin is still considered more of a boom/bust option right now.
