Fantasy Football: 5 bold predictions for Week 13

Bold Prediction #4: Stay away from all Patriots and Bills

The AFC East matchup we’ve been waiting weeks for is finally here. They face off on Monday Night Football, and there will be a lot of players on fantasy teams across the board. Jakobi Meyers has been a reception machine on a weekly basis for the New England Patriots. Kendrick Bourne is a huge play maker. Stefon Diggs is one of the best receivers in the league. Josh Allen and Mac Jones are both in a surprising amount of lineups as of late. They both have a committee of running backs who can be frustrating but effective at times.

Sit as many players in this matchup as you can. The Bills have the best defense in the league against wide receivers. Their secondary is very deep, and the Patriots will test them now that Tre-Davious White has been ruled out for the rest of the season. The Patriots have the fourth best defense against wide receivers in fantasy. Both teams are really good at stopping the passing attack.

The Patriots are going to pull out some weirdness to try and win this game. We’ve seen it before. There will be a Jonnu Smith rushing touchdown. The Pats will try to get a 70-yard touchdown to N’Keal Harry. Players who have no business scoring will score. We expect to see two touchdowns for Brandon Bolden.

Meanwhile, the Bills are just going to try everything in their power to make magic happen against New England, and the frustration will happen quickly. After years of the Patriots controlling the division, the Bills wanted their stranglehold on the East to continue for more than one season. Will they be able to bounce back if the Patriots take the lead?
