Jake Bates, Jake Bates Remains a Solid Starting Kicker Option in Week 13

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates was one of the heroes of his team's Week 12 win over the New York Giants, bending in a 59-yard field goal to send the game to overtime. After a relatively shaky start to the season, Bates has now made six straight field goal attempts over his last three games. He'll have a second straight game in the friendly confines of Ford Field in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. For his career, Bates is averaging 8.6 points per game at home, compared to 7.4 on the road. If there's one concern for Bates in Week 13, it's Green Bay's prowess as a scoring defense. The Packers have held three of their last four opponents to 16 points or fewer and held the Lions to 13 points in the first matchup between the two teams this season in Week 1. Still, Bates profiles as a solid starting kicker option for fantasy managers in Week 13.

Isaac TeSlaa, Isaac TeSlaa Could See Season-High Snap Share if Active in Week 13

Across the first 11 games of his NFL career, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) has hauled in four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. He's also been limited in practice this week by a hand injury and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. However, if TeSlaa is active in Week 13, he could see a sizable increase in playing time and target share. Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out, and the Lions will also be without top pass-catching tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck). Still, Green Bay is a very difficult matchup for opposing pass games. Through 12 weeks, the Packers are allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Even with the projected boost in snap share, TeSlaa should remain off fantasy radars in Week 13.

Jameson Williams, Jameson Williams Remains a Boom/Bust Option in Tough Week 13 Matchup

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had a brutal showing in Week 12 against the New York Giants, recording zero receptions on three targets. The 24-year-old is one of the most difficult players for fantasy managers to predict. He's recorded at least 66 receiving yards and a touchdown in four out of his last six games, but the two contests where he did not reach those marks were both zero-catch performances. Williams and the Lions now get a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, the Packers defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Williams struggled against Green Bay in his first matchup against them back in Week 1, recording four catches for 23 yards on five targets. However, the Lions will be without wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) and top tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13, which could mean more targets for Williams. He profiles as a boom-bust, low-end fantasy WR2 in against Green Bay.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, Amon-Ra St. Brown Looking to Extend Double-Digit Target Streak in Week 13

Across 11 games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has hauled in 75 receptions for 884 yards and nine touchdowns on 107 targets. Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been absolutely force-feeding St. Brown the football in recent weeks, as the star wideout has been targeted at least 12 times in three out of Detroit's last four games. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 13 against a Green Bay Packers defense that is currently allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Green Bay held St. Brown to just four catches for 45 yards on six targets in the first matchup between these two teams this season in Week 1. The usually sure-handed St. Brown has also struggled with drops this season, posting a career-high 6.5% drop rate. However, Detroit will be without tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) as well as wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) in Week 13, which should only further funnel targets to St. Brown. The 26-year-old profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver against Green Bay.

David Montgomery, David Montgomery Tough to Trust in Challenging Week 13 Matchup

In recent weeks, Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has seemingly faded into a secondary role in his team's offense. The 28-year-old has failed to score a touchdown in five out of his last six games, and he's totaled just 74 scrimmage yards on 15 touches over the last two weeks. A tough Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day seems like an unlikely spot for Montgomery to break out of his slump. Entering Week 13, Green Bay has allowed the sixth-fewest yards per carry (3.9) and rushing touchdowns (eight) in the NFL. In Detroit's first matchup with the Packers in Week 1, Montgomery recorded just 43 scrimmage yards on 15 touches. The Lions will also be shorthanded on their offensive line in Week 13 as both left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) and center Graham Glasgow (knee) are out. Montgomery profiles as a low-end flex option for fantasy managers against the Packers.
