Running Back Rankings – Fantasy Football Week 13

The return of Rhamondre Stevenson did not diminish TreVeyon Henderson's role, as the rookie logged 21 touches in a win. His 3.7 YPC was concerning, but he should be able to right that immediately against the Giants. They've allowed over 6.0 YPC, the second-most FPPG to RBs, and just let Jahmyr Gibbs slam them for 264 yards on the ground.

Travis Etienne regained his bellcow role last week, outsnapping Bhayshul Tuten 40-13. Tennessee is stronger against the run lately, but Etienne has averaged over 20 touches per game over his last four, and this is a critical game for the Jags. He's a strong start, but Tuten is a bit too risky unless you're desperate.

Kenneth Walker Jr. and Zach Charbonnet are both averaging 5.0 YPC over their last three games. They'll be home against Minnesota (5.4 YPC allowed) and are favored by two TDs. The run game should be featured, and both are sold FLEX plays. Seattle has allowed 3.4 YPC and the fifth-fewest FPPG to RBs. This is not the week for Aaron Jones Sr.

C.J. Stroud returns for Houston, which should boost Woody Marks' stock. Stroud's target share to RBs is double that of Davis Mills', and Marks has averaged 17.3 touches per game over the past three games. The Jets have allowed the eighth-most FPPG to RBs and don't have Quinnen Williams. Bijan Robinson is obvious, but Tyler Allgeier is also in play at the FLEX.

If you're playing Breece Hall, you know what you're getting - an uber-talented player in a terrible offense. Fortunately, he has a few things working in his favor this week. He's facing the most run-funnel team in the NFL (Atlanta), and he should be leaned on at home as the only legitimate weapon (QB included) that the Jets have.

Wide Receiver Rankings – Fantasy Football Week 13

Over the past two games, Michael Wilson has 25 catches on 33 targets with a 53.1% air yards share. He's also logged an elite 3.16 yards per route run and 61.3 PPR points in that span. Wow. Greg Dortch is also playable in the same game. He's third behind Wilson and Trey McBride in the pecking order, but he still has 15 targets over the last two weeks and has scored in both games.

The Texans have allowed the third-fewest catches and the fourth-fewest FPPG to WRs. I'm out on Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce, and Josh Downs, especially since it's no guarantee Daniel Jones makes it through the whole game. I'm not big on the Texans' WRs either, with Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward patrolling the perimeter. Nico Collins is still a start, but one with definite downside.

OK, I'm gonna say it. If you have better options, Justin Jefferson can be benched. The Seahawks' defense could very well hold Max Brosmer and company to less than seven points this week, and there is no Brosmer-Jefferson data to go by. Players I would roster ahead of Jefferson this week include: Wan'Dale Robinson, Troy Franklin, DeVonta Smith, A.J. Brown, and DK Metcalf.

Speaking of Wan'Dale Robinson, he's fifth in the NFL in targets, seventh in catches, and eighth in receiving yards. The stigma that he's a short-length possession receiver is gone, too, as he's 20th in the league with over 900 air yards. He should be confidently started every week. Ricky Pearsall is still a sit, as he has three catches for six total yards over two weeks since returning.

I'm not huge on Jauan Jennings this week either. Brock Purdy's struggles are bringing along his wide receivers, with Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle being the only beneficiaries. John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell each had seven targets last week for the Jets, but both have a very low floor against the Falcons' pass defense. Only start them if you're desperate.

Tight End Rankings – Fantasy Football Week 13

With Kirk Cousins under center in 2025, Kyle Pitts Sr. leads the Falcons in targets, catches, and receiving yards. The Jets are not an imposing defense, but just remember, Atlanta's passing volume should be limited. Harold Fannin Jr. had nine targets in Shedeur Sanders' first start. It's fair to assume Sanders will continue to lean on his TE as most rookies do, and the 49ers have allowed the 10th-most FPPG to the position.

Gunnar Helm is fresh off leading his Titans team in receiving a week ago (6-51-0 on seven targets), but keep in mind he only ran a 44% route participation share. This was less than fellow TE Chig Okonkwo, so there is definitely a scary floor here. Dalton Schultz has the only favorable matchup of Texans' pass catchers, and he leads the team in receptions and yards from Stroud.

Hunter Henry had a ceiling game last week and is definitely on the radar against the Giants. They've allowed the tenth-fewest FPPG TEs this year, but Henry has led the team on Drake Maye-thrown balls since the latter took over as QB. Juwan Johnson's 50% snap share last week was a season-low, but he still had six catches on seven targets. Miami has allowed the fifth-most FPPG to opposing TEs.

Quarterback Rankings – Fantasy Football Week 13

From Weeks 4-10, Jaxson Dart was the overall QB1. He's cleared concussion protocol and will start Monday night against the Patriots. It's fair to wonder if his running will be eased, but fire him up in all formats. Purdy looks completely off right now, and it's a short week to travel to Cleveland. He'll be facing all-world EDGE Myles Garrett and the Browns D, so I want no part of that this week.

I'm out on Daniel Jones this week, as there's nothing working in his favor. Houston looks like they have the best defense in the league right now; they've given up the third-lowest YPA and the fewest FPPG to QBs. Oh yeah, Jones is also apparently playing through a broken fibula, so how he even gets through this game is beyond me.

Jacoby Brissett has thrown the ball an incredible 150 times over the past three weeks, and that shouldn't change at all against Tampa, which is a notoriously pass-funnel defense. The Bucs have allowed the fourth-highest YPA and the fourth-most FPPG to opposing QBs. UDFA Max Brosmer is going to get utterly destroyed on the road in Seattle.

This looks like a game where Sam Darnold won't need to do much against Minnesota, but he's still playable in a pinch or in 2QB leagues. His efficiency with Jaxon Smith-Njigba is unparalleled. Tua Tagovailoa and Tyler Shough are borderline QB2s in bad offenses, but they're playing each other, and both teams have bottom-10 defenses in DVOA.
