Tight End: Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams ($3,800)

In the first Robert Woods-less game for the Rams, Higbee disappointingly only caught one catch for three yards. However, Higbee is still TE17 on the year and has had some solid weeks, but his floor isn’t as high as one would have thought heading into 2021.

Higbee gets a Jags defense that allows the 13th-most fantasy points to tight ends. If he catches a touchdown, he could give us a solid day for a rather cheap tight end.

Flex: Antonio Gibson, Washington Football Team ($5,700)

Another incredibly high volume running back for less than $6,000? Sign me up. Since the bye week, Gibson has handled 24, 19, and 29 carries. This is elite usage, and it appears the bye week did wonders in helping him get over his ailing shin injury.

Gibson faces the 25th-ranked Las Vegas rush defense who allow the fifth-most fantasy points to running back. The value here is incredible and gives us an elite running back trio.

Defense: San Francisco 49ers ($3,000)

If you haven’t noticed by now, I expect the 49ers to dominate Seattle in Week 13. Seattle allows the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing defenses, and the 49ers feast defensively on good matchups.

In a game where the 49ers could dominate, getting a cheap defense with this kind of upside may prove very beneficial to our lineup.
