Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 13
By Nick Villano
Bold Prediction #3: Hunter Renfrow will have another huge week
The Las Vegas Raiders finally had a bounce-back game on Thanksgiving. They beat the Dallas Cowboys in what was the most exciting game of the holiday weekend. Hunter Renfrow had his best input of the season, going for 134 yards on eight catches. Both of those were season highs.
This week, Renfrow is looking at another juicy matchup. He’s facing the Washington Football Team. It’s old news to see their passing defense is just awful. Even a terrible Russell Wilson was able to connect for just under 20 points against them on Monday Night Football. However, Derek Carr is going to be able to take full advantage of a Washington team on a short week. He will do much better than Wilson did.
Renfrow is the best player in the Raiders wide receiver corps after the team was forced to cut Henry Ruggs. He’s been super inconsistent this season, and he hasn’t been able to score much. The Raiders are finding better ways to use Renfrow, and that should lead to more points for Renfrow in the long run.
He hasn’t been able to have one game with more than 15 points in standard. That changes this week. He should have north of 100 yards and a touchdown this week, the first time he would have done that all season.
