Which battles should be catching your eye for Week 13 of the fantasy football slate?

Key Matchup	Reason
Jonathan Stewart, RB, CAR vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers run defense	J-Stew has fantastic history vs. Bucs - remember him and DeAngelo Williams tearing them up last yr? This wk, Williams might not play....
Jeremy Maclin, WR, PHI vs. Chris Owens, CB, ATL	With DeSean Jackson concussed, J-Mac matches up with this rook and a brutally bad secondary; Maclin inherits Jackson's deep calls
Mark Clayton, WR, BAL vs. Jarrett Bush, CB, GB	Derrick Mason draws Charles Woodson; Al Harris' replacement a vulnerable target against BAL's big-play threat
John Carlson, TE, SEA vs. San Francisco 49ers pass defense	The Niners are a strong matchup for this position; SEA's O-line is starting to gel, which means Carlson may not have to stay in as much
Devin Hester, WR, CHI vs. Ron Bartell, CB, STL	Bartel has proven he can handle big wideouts well, but Hester should run circles around him .... even if Jay Cutler goes pick-happy
