Browns-Bills fantasy projections, Week 13: Josh Gordon, Isaiah Crowell, Sammy Watkins on the radar

The Week 13 matchup between the Cleveland Browns and the Buffalo Bills features a pair of stud wide receivers. We've got the fantasy projections for you, courtesy of numberFire.

Going into Week 12, there was talk that wide receiver Josh Gordon would be on a limited snap count coming off of a suspension. Thankfully for his fantasy owners, that was simply not the case. Gordon played 69 percent of the snaps last week, catching 8eight passes for 120 yards on a whopping 16 targets. Even with a mediocre fantasy player at quarterback, Gordon is one of the few receivers in the NFL who must start on a weekly basis regardless of the matchup. Is his first game of the season was any indication, he should be primed and ready to go off against the Buffalo Bills Sunday.

In the Browns' running game, it's quite clear Isaiah Crowell is now the team's lead back, at least in terms of expected touches and production moving forward. He ran for two touchdowns on 12 carries last week. Although teammate Terrance West actually got more carries in the game, it's Crowell who is listed in the number-one spot on the team's depth chart. Both running backs should get their share of work against the Bills, but the extra upside in fantasy value goes to Crowell, who could find himself getting into the end zone and short yardage and goal line situations while still receiving a handful of carries in the open field.

While the New York Jets are a historically strong team on defense, their offense is lackluster and has been all year. That's part of the reason Bills quarterback Kyle Orton was able to move the ball down the field against a tired secondary and complete 24 passes for 230 yards and a pair of touchdowns in a blowout win last week -- even though the home game was played in Detroit due to a snowstorm in Buffalo. Orton's stats are never going to be of the high volume variety, but as long as he doesn't turn the ball over, he can provide steady production. A game against the Browns is definitely going to pose a challenge, but Orton should still be able to connect with his go-to receiver.

That go-to receiver is Sammy Watkins. Watkins has struggled of late, amassing no more than 35 receiving yards in each of the last three weeks. His opponents over that stretch include the Jets, the Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs. Facing the Browns means he's likely in for a dose of cornerback Joe Haden, so it could be another rough week for Watkins. That said, he's too good of a player to be held down for too long. Fantasy owners shouldn't be surprised if he breaks out of his mini slump and ends up having a great day. He's bound to do so eventually.
