Week 13 at Kansas City
Cooling down after a sizzling midseason stretch, Michael Crabtree had his poorest performance of the season last Sunday in Nashville against the Tennessee Titans, catching four passes for 19 yards. Fortunately, he caught a touchdown pass, salvaging something for the many owners who started him.
Kansas City’s pass defense struggled early in the season, but has rebounded with the Chiefs winning five in a row. Nevertheless, they showed vulnerability in Week 12, as Buffalo’s Tyrod Taylor was able to victimize them for 291 yards and three touchdowns. And if Kansas City’s top rusher, Justin Houston, is unable to play, things will be considerably easier for the Oakland offense. Although Crabtree has dropped in the rankings, he should continue to be a credible WR3 this week.
