Falcons D/ST's fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 13 (2023). Our advice on whether you should start or sit Falcons D/ST for fantasy lineups.
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: D/ST1
ANALYSIS: The Atlanta Falcons are an intriguing D/ST streaming option in Week 13 as they are set to take on the Tim Boyle-led New York Jets. Boyle is fresh off a start against the Miami Dolphins where he threw two interceptions, was sacked seven times, and finished with a QBR of 4.6. The lowlight of that performance for Boyle was a 99-yard pick-six he threw to Miami's Jevon Holland.
The Atlanta-New York matchup has the lowest over-under point total of Week 13 at 33.5 and the Jets team total sits at 16.5. Although the Falcons are only favored by 1.5 points, that line has nothing to do with their defense.
The Atlanta defense had a sack, interception, fumble recovery, and touchdown in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints. They are set up for another big day against a Jets team that has amassed just 260 yards of offense per game, the second-worst total in the league. There is an 84% chance of rain at the Meadowlands on Sunday afternoon, which could also impact the offense.
Atlanta is the third-ranked defense in our consensus staff rankings this week. You won't go wrong starting the Falcons D/ST against New York.
