The 2023 NFL season has been a wild one, but perhaps the best indication of that is the Broncos-Texans' Week 13 matchup being a must-watch event. While the 49ers-Eagles contest is surely at the top of this week's marquee games, this battle between sneaky AFC playoff contenders in Houston is primed to deliver. Denver has officially saved their season as winners of five straight; on the flip side, Houston is surging in their own right with C.J. Stroud under center and HC DeMeco Ryans pushing all the right buttons.
The success of these teams is just another example of how quickly things can change in the NFL. The Texans had the No. 2 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, and the Broncos surrendered the No. 5 selection as part of the Russell Wilson trade. No one thought that either team would be making a push for the playoffs back in April, but here we are.
As these teams enter the home stretch, the games only heighten in importance. When there's a lot on the line, there's extra motivation to deliver big results. That's why we're headed over to Sports Interaction, looking for some opportunities to profit during Week 13's early Sunday window.

1. Javonte Williams, RB, Broncos — OVER 16.5 receiving yards (-120)
Much like the 2022 Broncos, the '23 Broncos won't be remembered for their offense -- in a good way anyway. They've figured it out as the season has gone on, but this is still a team that relies on its defense to do most of the work as the offense does just enough to win. It's not a prototypical Sean Payton team, but that was to be expected in year one. What hasn't changed though is the reliance on just a few players on offense. It's either Javonte Williams or Courtland Sutton. For this Week 13 contest, Williams has a good chance to deliver against a Houston defense that is allowing the eighth-most receiving yards to RBs (38.6). The RB has been a little more active as a receiver lately, seeing 12 targets over the past three games. That workload combined with the Texans' shortcomings should translate to a big day for Williams on the ground and in the air.
2. Devin Singletary, RB, Texans — OVER 10.5 receiving yards (-115)
The Broncos' putrid run defense gets all the headlines, but with Dameon Pierce back in the mix, it's hard to have faith in Singletary's ability to get the job done on the ground. He's never been known for rushing efficiency, but he posted back-to-back games with at least 100 yards before the streak was snapped in Week 12 when Pierce returned from injury. Singletary finished with just 18 yards on six carries against the Jaguars, but he was prominently featured in the passing game, hauling in six receptions for 54 yards. Denver is allowing the fourth-most receptions per game to running backs (5.8), meaning we should see plenty of Singletary as a receiver once again. He's gone OVER this total in three of the past five games and has a great chance in a plus matchup to do it again.
3. Brevin Jordan, TE, Texans — OVER 24.5 receiving yards (-110)
Denver's surge can be attributed to their turnaround on defense. The team is defending WRs at a high level, holding individual receivers to fewer than 100 yards since Week 4, but for all the praise that the secondary gets, the Broncos are still struggling to contain tight ends. They've surrendered a league-high 71.2 yards per game to the position. Dalton Schultz (hamstring) has already been ruled out for this game, leaving Jordan to slide up into the TE1 role. Schultz had emerged as a key weapon for C.J. Stroud in the passing game, but with Tank Dell and Nico Collins likely to have their hands full leading a banged-up offense, Jordan is flying under the radar. He should be able to find a few catches that send him soaring over this number, and he's a sneaky candidate to score a touchdown, as well.
4. Jerry Jeudy, WR, Broncos — UNDER 3.5 receptions (+120)
It remains a mystery why anyone would still be hanging onto their Jeudy stock at this point, including oddsmakers. He's an afterthought in this offense and mostly irrelevant in fantasy leagues. There's certainly talent there, but it's never been clearer that a change of scenery is Jeudy's only chance to find NFL success. The former Alabama star has failed to haul in at least four receptions in three of his past four games and six of 10 on the season. For +120, we like the idea of taking a shot on a pick that has a 75-percent hit rate over the past four games and 60 percent this season in what isn't a great passing attack against a defense that's above-average at defending WRs.
