3 Bold NFL Predictions for Week 13

Dede Westbrook Will Be a Top-18 Wide Receiver

Why This Is Bold: Dede Westbrook has flashed his potential in his first two NFL games, but that hasn't led to significant fantasy production yet. The Jacksonville Jaguars haven't thrown nearly as much this year, leaning on their rushing game and defense to carry them while hiding the deficiencies of Blake Bortles as a passer.

Why This Will Happen: Westbrook is gaining a foothold in this offense. He has 16 targets over the last two weeks, which not only ranks among the league's best receivers, but is also outpacing Marqise Lee and the rest of the Jags over this span.

Westbrook has 41 percent of the Jaguars' air yards since his debut, per airyards.com. However, it's not purely volume-driven; his 10.8-yard average depth of target is the highest on the team over the same stretch. Westbrook, in this small sample, is out-targeting his teammates while also stretching the field more than anyone else.

Jacksonville's Week 13 opponent, the Indianapolis Colts, rank 31st in the league in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play. Starting a player with a limited sample size in a bad passing offense isn't for the faint of heart, but Westbrook has big-time upside.
