NFL Bets, Props, Projections and Injuries for Week 13

Welcome to another NFL Sunday. Winners Club is here to get you ready for a full day of football. Let’s get right into it.

Who’s In and Who’s Out

Kyler Murray and DeAndre Hopkins are expected to return to the Cardinals’ lineup—and the starting lineup for your fantasy team. Dalvin Cook, D’Andre Swift and Melvin Gordon are all out, paving the way for big days from Alexander Mattison, Jamaal Williams and Javonte Williams. And what’s a week in the NFL without a few banged-up Giants receivers—Sterling Shepard and Kadarius Toney are both doubtful, again. Catch up on the latest injury news in the Week 13 injury report.
