Players like Chicago Bears’ Rome Odunze and Dallas Cowboys’ CeeDee Lamb dropped the ball in early games, and they could do the same later in Week 13.
Points and projections via Yahoo Sports.
Ricky Pearsall (WR) San Francisco 49ers
Pearsall hasn’t had a catch in two weeks despite playing 67% of the team’s offensive snaps against Green Bay last week. He failed to see a single target from backup quarterback Brandon Allen in Week 12 after getting only two looks from starter Brock Purdy the week before.
Purdy is listed as questionable for the second week with a shoulder injury and was limited in practice Wednesday. That’s not good for a team about to face a 9-2 Buffalo Bills squad fresh off a bye, giving up the eighth-fewest fantasy points per game (29.2) to wide receivers.
On the other hand, Buffalo is nowhere near as good against the run, allowing the third-most fantasy points per game (27.6) to ball-carriers. Expect San Francisco running back Christian McCaffrey to be busy on Sunday night, Pearsall not so much.
Dalton Schultz (TE) Houston Texans
Thanks to a top-10 fantasy finish in 2023, Schultz remains rostered in 63% of Yahoo leagues in 2024. Impressive, considering he’s failed to score a touchdown all year and hasn’t posted double-digit fantasy points in a single game.
