Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays — In Week 13 of the 2024 NFL Season, the Miami Dolphins and Green Bay Packers will clash on Thursday Night Football on Thanksgiving. The Dolphins (5-6) are on a three-game winning streak, while the Packers (8-3) have won six of their last seven games. With that in mind, we have a couple of good spots to target in our Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays.
Every Thursday Night Football, I’ll break down my favorite Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays for that night’s game.
What’s Bleacher Nation Fantasy?
Bleacher Nation Fantasy is the newest real-money fantasy game on the market, and also the easiest for players to win real money! Last Thursday, players won at over an 80% clip. And now, they have both NFL and NBA contests to play. Their main game mode, Rivals, is all matchup-based, which is what we’ll focus on here. And the best part? It’s extremely simple. Without parlaying anything at all, you can choose who will have more receiving yards between Tyreek Hill or Jayden Reed (plus 60-80 other matchups just like that!)
So without further ado, let’s dive into my favorite picks at Bleacher Nation Fantasy in what should be a high-scoring matchup, as reflected by the 48-point game total.

Bleacher Nation Fantasy Plays: Thursday Night Football
Bleacher Nation Fantasy is a new game available in 30+ states! Make sure to hop in the action for Thursday night football.
De’Von Achane +19 Rushing Yards vs Josh Jacobs
De’Von Achane has been held below 40 rushing yards in two of his last three games, but this looks like a spot to get back on track vs a Packers defense that ranks 16th in Rush EPA.
We’ve seen Green Bay allow efficient games to D’Andre Swift (71 yards, 5.1 YPC) and Jahmyr Gibbs (65 yards, 5.9 YPC) in recent weeks.
The forecast calls for cold weather, so we could see the Dolphins try to get Achane going on the ground in this one.
I like getting Achane +19 rushing yards because Josh Jacobs is in a tough spot, as the Dolphins rank 10th in Rush EPA this season.
Miami has limited Rhamondre Stevenson (13 yards), Alexander Mattison (19 yards), Kyren Williams (62 yards), James Cook (44 yards), and James Conner (53 yards) in their last five games.
Jacobs just had 26 carries on Sunday, so we could see a somewhat reduced workload on a short week.
We’re getting 19 yards on an explosive runner, so take Achane +19 rushing yards over Jacobs on Thursday Night Football.
Jayden Reed +13 Receiving Yards vs Tyreek Hill
I like targeting Jayden Reed this week because the Dolphins have forced opponents to air it out lately, allowing 36+ pass attempts in each of their last five games, including 46 to Matthew Stafford.
More pass attempts mean more opportunities for targets for Reed, who primarily works out of the slot.
We’ve seen pass-catchers put up production against Miami over the middle, such as DeMario Douglas (62 yards), Brock Bowers (126 yards), and Cooper Kupp (80 yards).
This feels like a game where the Packers get their most dynamic pass-catcher back on track.
It’s great to get Reed +13 receiving yards against Tyreek Hill because the Dolphins’ top wideout has 61 yards or less in three consecutive games, including only 16 vs the Rams.
Hill is currently playing through a wrist injury, which seems to be affecting his production.
Look for the Packers to do just enough on defense to slow down Hill in this one.
