Fantasy football can be a fun game. However, it can also be a frustrating one.
Every week, fantasy players must set their lineups. Unfortunately, sometimes fantasy players must make a difficult call to bench a star player for someone currently playing better.
Should fantasy players start Deebo Samuel Sr., Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, or Elijah Moore in Week 13?
Should I Start Deebo Samuel Sr. For Fantasy Football?
Samuel is the WR44 for the year, averaging 8.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Unfortunately, the star wide receiver has been borderline unstartable for several weeks. He has averaged 5.5 fantasy points per game over the past six weeks, totaling 4.1 or fewer in all but two contests.
Furthermore, Samuel has only one receiving touchdown this season, scoring in Week 6. Meanwhile, he faces a Buffalo Bills defense that has shut down wide receivers this year. More importantly, the weather for this game is far from ideal.

Should I Start Nick Westbrook-Ikhine For Fantasy Football?
Westbrook-Ikhine is the WR57 for the year, averaging 6.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. After totaling zero half-point PPR fantasy points over the first four weeks, the veteran has been outstanding since the Week 5 bye. He is the WR14 over the past seven weeks, averaging 10.7 fantasy points per game.
More importantly, Westbrook-Ikhine has scored six touchdowns over the past seven weeks, including one in back-to-back contests. The veteran ranks among the league leaders in receiving touchdowns. He faces a Washington Commanders defense on Sunday that has surrendered 13 receiving touchdowns to wide receivers this season.

Should I Start Elijah Moore For Fantasy Football?
While Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman are the top two wide receivers for the Cleveland Browns, Moore has played well since the quarterback change. The former Ole Miss star has averaged eight targets and 8.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the past six weeks, totaling one receiving touchdown.

Unfortunately, Moore has an awful matchup on Monday night against the Denver Broncos. They have held wide receivers to 22.1 fantasy points per game, the third-fewest in the NFL.
