FanDuel Lineup Picks (Week 13) - NFL DFS Advice

Welcome to RotoBaller's daily fantasy football FanDuel lineup picks for Week 13 of the NFL season. In this article I will be taking you through the best FanDuel DFS value plays of the week for this upcoming Sunday.

These FanDuel lineup recommendations are based on matchups, recent performances, overall upside/talent levels, and other factors such as Vegas odds, home field advantage, and more.

Good luck with your FanDuel DFS lineups!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

FanDuel Quarterbacks - Week 13 DFS Picks

Trevor Siemian (@MIA, $6,200)

Siemian is the punt play of the week as the Dolphins have been an absolute disaster against opponents' passing games of late. Tom Brady dismantled them in Week 12, but it hasn’t taken an elite quarterback to rack up fantasy points against the Dolphins as Ryan Fitzpatrick dropped 275 yards and two touchdowns on them. That isn’t to say this play isn’t without risk, as Siemian has struggled on the road this season and is battling the flu (though he has practiced through it). Most punt plays come with risk and Siemian is no exception, but he’s worth a look in a week where there isn’t a lot of value standing out at the position.

Marcus Mariota (vs. HOU, $7,400)

Recent track record isn’t kind to Mariota, but the matchup is an exploitable one. In the past three weeks, both Blaine Gabbert and Jared Goff managed to throw three touchdowns against the Texans defense. Though Mariota has been a disappointment, this is a get right game for him and he comes at a cheap enough price to take advantage.

 

FanDuel Running Backs- Week 13 DFS Picks

Marshawn Lynch (vs. NYG, $6,200)

There will be a lot of focus on bargain pass catchers for the Raiders this week with both Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree absent. However, the Giants have been getting gouged by the run lately and they put five defensive players on IR this week making it likely that they will continue their downward spiral. Meanwhile, Lynch has been trending upward as he finally saw volume in Week 12 against the Broncos. The Raiders should be in the drivers seat for much of this game, making Lynch a nice mid-priced option.

Kenyan Drake (vs. DEN, $5,800)

Damien Williams is down, which opens the door for Drake to receive a full workload without the price tag to match it. While the Broncos were once a daunting matchup, that is no longer the case as they have allowed over two touchdowns per game (through the air and ground) to opposing running backs over the past four games. That trend is unlikely to get better this week, as they have lost run-stuffing defensive tackle Domata Peko to injury and will also be without defensive end Derek Wolfe. With a full workload, Drake is a nice value play in Week 13.

 

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Week 13 DFS Picks

Davante Adams (vs. TB, $6,500) 

Everyone will be on Mike Evans this week and it is possible that he replicates Julio Jones’ Week 12 performance. However, Davante Adams has clearly emerged as the number one target in Green Bay, earning eight or more targets over the past four weeks. He has managed to convert those targets into points, posting 16 or more FD points in every game in that time span. Now he will go on to face a Buccaneers secondary that not only has gotten scorched by Julio Jones, but also Kenny Stills and Robby Anderson in recent weeks. Adams can be used nicely to either pivot off of or stack with Mike Evans.

Marqise Lee (vs. IND, $6,000)

After a few breakout games earlier in the season, Lee has been a disappointment the past two weeks. Now, he is once again an afterthought but heads into a juicy matchup against the Colts with the benefit of Allen Hurns still being sidelined. Speaking of sidelined, the Colts will be without Rashaan Melvin who is ranked as the 15th best cover-corner by PFF. Instead, Lee will be covered by one of Pierre Desir and Kenny Moore, who rank as the 86th and 100th best cover corners by PFF respectively. That said, the main worry for Lee this week will be that emerging rookie Dede Westbrook will steal his work, but there should be enough targets to go around with Hurns out.

 

FanDuel Tight End - Week 13 DFS Pick

Delanie Walker (vs. HOU, $6,400)

Though it’s difficult to project which Titans receiver is the one to roster on a weekly basis, Walker has been a constant. He leads the team’s receivers in red-zone targets, including five over the past three weeks. He is priced well below elite options on the slate at the position but quietly carries the same touchdown potential

 

FanDuel Defense - Week 13 DFS Pick

Baltimore Ravens (vs. DET, $4,600)

The Lions have a fairly strong offense, but this games features one of the lower totals on the slate. Given that Baltimore is at home and has consistently produced fantasy points this season, they are my favorite mid-priced defense this week.
