Fantasy Football Week 13 WR Start/Sits: Who to play, who to bench

We have a potential problem on our hands with the Cardinals receiving corps since Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) returned to practice Wednesday after missing the last two games. If Harrison plays in Week 13 at Tampa Bay, then we have to figure out what to do with Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch.

Harrison was rolling before he got hurt and he scored at least 14.3 PPR points in his last two games with 10 catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns on 22 targets against Dallas and Seattle. I’m counting on him to be the No. 1 receiver in Arizona again when healthy, and he should be considered at least a No. 2 Fantasy option in the majority of leagues.

Wilson was a star when Harrison was out, and he had 25 catches for 303 yards on 33 targets in his last two games against San Francisco and Jacksonville. He scored at least 21.8 PPR points in every outing.

I hope Wilson stays involved when Harrison is healthy, but Wilson has scored 9.1 PPR points or less, with one touchdown, in his first nine games of the year. Until we see how Harrison and the new version of Wilson work together, you can only bet on Wilson as the No. 3 Fantasy receiver at best.

Dortch also took advantage of Harrison’s absence with 12 catches for 119 yards and two touchdowns on 15 targets over his last two games, and he scored at least 16.8 PPR points in each outing. But, like Wilson, Dortch previously had a limited role with 9.9 PPR points or less, with one touchdown, through the first nine games of the year. I would avoid Dortch in the majority of leagues when Harrison is healthy.

The good news for Week 13 is that Tampa Bay is No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers, and Jacoby Brissett has attempted at least 44 passes in four of six starts in place of Kyler Murray (foot), including three in a row. Hopefully several receivers can thrive with Brissett, as well as tight end Trey McBride.

I’ll lean on Harrison when I’m healthy, and I hope Wilson doesn’t disappear. But now that Harrison is back, that great two-game stretch for Wilson and Dortch is likely over.
