Week 13 Quarterback Rankings for Fantasy Football: Jordan Love, Sam Howell, Gardner Minshew, Russell Wilson, Geno Smith

Week 13 fantasy football quarterback rankings. Set winning lineups with our Week 13 quarterback ranks for fantasy football and the 2023 NFL season.

Welcome, RotoBallers! With six teams on a bye, there will be a lot of lineup holes to fill in Week 13. The Ravens, Bills, Raiders, Bears, Giants, and Vikings are off this week. Between injuries and changes, the quarterback position has recently become very hit-or-miss for fantasy football. We are here to guide you through it with our NFL team's fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 13 of the fantasy football season.

Week 13 kicks off with the Seahawks and Cowboys on Thursday night. Can Dak Prescott continue his hot streak? The 30-year-old has thrown for 17 touchdown passes over his last five games, while Geno Smith will look to rebound after throwing for just 180 yards and no scores in last Thursday's loss to the 49ers. Let's see where RotoBaller has Prescott, Smith, and other vital signal-callers such as Jordan Love, Sam Howell, Russell Wilson, and Gardner Minshew ranked in Week 13.

Our fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 13 are put together by Nick Mariano. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.

Geno Smith, QB, Seattle Seahawks
Week 13 Quarterback Rankings: 17

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith struggled in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers. In the Thanksgiving night loss, Smith went 18-for-27 for 180 yards, making it the fourth time he has been held to less than 200 passing yards this season. The job won't be any easier in Week 13, as the Seahawks take on the Dallas Cowboys in another Thursday night game.

The Cowboys have allowed the second-fewest passing yards this season and rank fourth in points allowed. The Cowboys' defensive line leads the league in generating pressure, which does not bode well for Smith, who has been shaky behind a patchwork offensive line all season. Smith should be a QB2 in Week 13, though his tough matchup takes away upside he might otherwise carry throwing to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.

Justin Herbert, QB, Los Angeles Chargers
Week 13 Quarterback Rankings: 11

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert will look to bounce back in a Week 13 game against the New England Patriots. Herbert faced the top-tier Baltimore Ravens defense last week and still put up a somewhat respectable 14 fantasy points, good for a QB15 finish.

Week 13 sees him take on another tough defense, but he should have much more room to work than he did in the previous game. While his upside may be a little capped compared to most weeks, Herbert remains an easy QB1 option in all formats.

Joe Flacco, QB, Cleveland Browns
Week 13 Quarterback Rankings: 29

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that veteran quarterback Joe Flacco, who was just signed last week, is now the backup to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion). Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the Denver Broncos and is now in the league's concussion protocol, so Flacco could be thrust into a starting role in his 2023 debut this weekend versus the Los Angeles Rams.

The Browns have lost all trust in P.J. Walker, who fumbled two more times in relief of DTR this past Sunday. Flacco, 38, is unlikely to light up the scoreboard for the Browns, but he should be able to avoid turnovers and has much more experience in the league than Walker. In five games (four starts) for the Jets in 2022, Joe Cool threw for 1,051 yards, five TDs, and three interceptions while completing only 57.6% of his passes.
