Week 13 of the fantasy football season is upon us, and with Jonathan Taylor out, Zack Moss steps back in, and some fantasy football managers are in dire need of the Week 13 fantasy football rankings. With six teams on a bye, the game previews and sleepers are more vital than ever to ensure a victory and secure a spot in the fantasy playoffs.
In the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Seahawks and the Cowboys, running back Kenneth Walker is a risky RB2, and Zach Charbonnet is classified as an RB3. DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett’s performance differs significantly based on whether their team is leading or trailing, with Metcalf averaging 21.0 more yards per reception when the team is ahead.
For the Colts-Titans game, Zack Moss is considered a top 15 option until Jonathan Taylor returns. Similarly, the performance of Derrick Henry is affected by whether he scores a rushing touchdown, averaging significantly more fantasy points per game in games with a rushing touchdown.
In the Chargers-Patriots game, wide receiver Demario Douglas is a must-start if active, given the slim week and great matchup. Joshua Palmer’s potential return would also impact the wide receiver rankings for the Chargers.
If Chris Olave plays for the Lions-Saints game, he is a must-start, while wide receiver David Montgomery continues to impress with his yards after contact. Alvin Kamara leads all running backs in targets, receptions, and receiving yards, demonstrating his importance to the Saints’ offense.
The Falcons-Jets game has the lowest wide receiver Adjusted Points Allowed (APA), which could impact the performance of the wide receivers.
In the Cardinals-Steelers game, the potential return of wide receiver Michael Wilson could influence the wide receiver rankings, while running back Jaylen Warren has demonstrated skill in breaking long runs.
The Dolphins-Commanders game could see a pass-heavy approach from the Dolphins, leading to potential sneaky value for Antonio Gibson. The Commanders have high ratings for Adjusted Points Allowed (APA) for quarterbacks and wide receivers, which could impact fantasy performance.
In the Broncos-Texans game, wide receiver Noah Brown’s potential return could provide a high-risk/reward option for fantasy managers. Running back Javonte Williams has faced tough defenses in recent games, impacting his yards per carry but could still be a viable fantasy option.
The Panthers-Buccaneers game has seen the Panthers struggle with pressure on the quarterback and yards before contact, which could impact the performance of Buccaneers running backs. On the other hand, the Buccaneers have allowed limited success for opposing running backs.
In the Browns-Rams game, the potential return of Amari Cooper could influence wide receiver rankings, while Kyren Williams’ performance has shown variability based on game script and score.
The 49ers-Eagles game presents an interesting matchup, with the 49ers allowing a high pressure rate but a low sack rate. Meanwhile, the potential return of Dallas Goedert could impact DeVonta Smith’s performance.
With so much at stake this week, fantasy football managers are in need of the Week 13 fantasy football rankings more than ever to make informed decisions and secure crucial victories. #CheckTheLink for more details and stay updated with the latest fantasy football insights.
