If you need an edge to win your fantasy football matchup in Week 13, consider adding one of these sleepers at the wide receiver position.

Notable sleeper hits in this analysis last week included Jarvis Landry, Nelson Agholor, and Denzel Mims.

Those three players were not heavily sought after in 2020 fantasy drafts, but they did perform admirably in Week 12.

So, let’s find out who could surprise the masses during Week 13.

Note: The selection of these 10 sleepers is assessed from a 10-team, PPR league perspective.

1. Cole Beasley (BUF)

Game: Buffalo Bills at San Francisco 49ers (Monday, 12/7, 8:15 pm EST)

The Bills placed John Brown on injured reserve a few days ago. Cole Beasley will serve as the team’s WR2 — if he wasn’t already considered that before. Stefon Diggs rightfully earns most of Josh Allen’s targets, but Beasley is a marvelous compliment.

He’ll be showcased more than ever in Week 13. Brown’s departure opens up the field a bit for Beasley to thrive. The 49ers have a good secondary, so it will not easy for Allen, Diggs, and Beasley. But as a sleeper, the shoe fits for Beasley.

2. Deebo Samuel (SF)

Game: Buffalo Bills at San Francisco 49ers (Monday, 12/7, 8:15 pm EST)

You probably did not keep Samuel on your fantasy roster when he got hurt, but now is a decent time to grab him from the waiver wire. Brick by brick, San Francisco is becoming healthier. Samuel is the perfect weapon for a quarterback like Nick Mullens who is not overly dynamic.

Samuel can rush the football like a halfback and receive like a wideout. Roll the dice on Samuel vs. the Bills.
