Week 13 Eagles vs. Bears Start 'Em Sit 'Em Picks feat. Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown and Caleb Williams

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Chicago Bears are set to battle it out in one of the most unique time slots of the season. The two teams are not set to play on Thursday, Saturday, Sunday or Monday. Rather, it is one of just two Friday games thus far this season.

As such, fantasy managers can't afford to let their teams slide in favor of Black Friday shopping. However, they may not want to research the teams on the pseudo-holiday. That's where Sportskeeda comes in. Here's a look at players you should start and sit.

The Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles won't be the first shootout of Week 13, but it will be one nonetheless. As such, both quarterbacks and several receivers are must-starts.

If there's a choice between starting Jalen Hurts or Caleb Williams, you should go with Hurts, as the Bears have a more mortal defense this season.

Saquon Barkley hasn't had the same campaign in 2025 as in 2024, but he still is a quality starting option in Week 13, considering the Bears have allowed the fifth-most yards per game in the NFL. According to Philadelphia's official injury report, Saquon Barkley practiced in full on Thursday, putting him in line to carry a full workload as he had been dealing with a groin injury.

As for the Chicago Bears, Rome Odunze has taken a step forward this season, and if you want a piece of the shootout that is likely to commence, you could do worse than Odunze. Lastly, Colston Loveland has popped in two of his last four games, giving him a quality case to start in Week 13.

Must Starts

• Jalen Hurts
• Saquon Barkley
• DeVonta Smith
• Caleb Williams
• Rome Odunze
• Colston Loveland

While there are plenty of players worth starting on both sides, there are others that are not.

On Philadelphia's side, A.J. Brown and Jahan Dotson should be skipped. Brown's drama has been consistent, and despite the high chance of lots of scoring, Brown is likely to miss out. DeVonta Smith leads the team in receiving yards, so he is likely to see targets before Brown.

As for Chicago, DJ Moore is heading for his worst season since joining the Chicago Bears, and as such, don't expect much from the receiver. Cole Kmet has been an afterthought in the receiving game, so steer clear of him as well.

Aside from that, avoid the typical depth receivers on both sides, like Jahan Dotson, who has six games with under 10 receiving yards.

Must Sits

• Bears D/ST
• Eagles D/ST
• A.J. Brown
• DJ Moore
• Cole Kmet
• Jahan Dotson
