Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 13 Rankings
|
1.
Tyreek Hill
WR - MIA (at WAS)
Hill opened this week with a DNP (ankle). Hill has played through several other injury designations this season, so currently, I'm projecting him to suit up in Week 13. Hill is the WR1 in fantasy, ranking third in deep targets and second in red zone targets. Since Week 8, Washington has utilized man coverage at the second-highest rate (42.0%). Against man coverage, Hill has a 32.9% target share, a 50.4% air-yard share, 4.77 YPRR, and a 36.4% first-read share. Those numbers are absolutely bonkers. Since Week 7, Washington has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: THE WR1

2.
Travis Etienne Jr.
RB - JAC (vs . CIN)
Etienne is the RB5 in fantasy, ranking fourth in snap share, fifth in opportunity share, and third in weighted opportunities. Etienne has seen his workload cut recently. Since Week 10, he has played 61-66% of the snaps, averaging 17.3 touches and 63 total yards. Etienne ranks 26th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 31st in yards after contact per attempt. Etienne should have a mini bounce-back week against a Bengals run defense that has, since Week 7, allowed the ninth-highest explosive run rate and the fourth-highest missed tackles per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1/2

3.
Christian McCaffrey
RB - SF (at PHI)
McCaffrey is the RB1 in fantasy, ranking second in snap share, fourth in opportunity share, and second in weighted opportunities. He is also top-three in carries, targets, and red zone touches among running backs. He has averaged 21.9 touches and 120.8 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, McCaffrey ranks tenth in explosive run rate and 17th in missed tackles forced per attempt. McCaffrey will crush a porous Eagles' run defense. Since Week 7, Philly has allowed the second-highest explosive run rate and the fifth-highest yards per carry to zone runs (McCaffrey 61.7% zone) while also ranking 14th in yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
4.
CeeDee Lamb
WR - DAL (vs . SEA)
Since the Cowboys decided to commit to Lamb as the engine of the offense (Week 6), he has had a 29.8% target share, a 38.5% air-yard share, 3.17 YPRR, and a 34.8% first-read share. Since Week 7, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (83.7%). Across his last six games against zone coverage, Lamb has handled a 26.8% target share, a 32.4% air-yard share, and a 31.7% first-read share with 2.59 YPRR. His numbers have taken a hit, but these are still strong metrics against zone. The biggest worry for Lamb this week is matching up (54.3% slot) in the slot with Devon Witherspoon (50.9% catch rate and 75.6 passer rating). Since Witherspoon took over as the team's primary nickel corner, Seattle has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: low-end WR1

|
5.
Tony Pollard
RB - DAL (vs . SEA)
Pollard is BACK BABY! Since Week 8, he has been among the league's best tackle breakers, averaging 15.6 touches and 71.2 total yards. Since Week 8, among 32 qualifying backs, he ranks third in explosive run rate, tenth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and fifth in yards after contact per attempt. Pollard could post his best stat line of the season this week against a downtrodden Seattle run defense. Since Week 7, this run defense has been in shambles, allowing the third-highest explosive run rate, the second-most missed tackles per attempt, and the highest yards after contact per attempt. Dallas should lean on their ground game this week. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
6.
Alvin Kamara
RB - NO (vs . DET)
After a brief dip in snap share, Kamara has returned to playing 64-76% of the snaps over the last two weeks while averaging 17.5 touches and 97 total yards. His tackle-breaking remains a problem. Since Week 7, among 35 qualifying backs, he ranks 33rd in missed tackles forced per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Kamara will have to rely on volume again this week as his ally against a tough matchup. Since Week 7, the Lions have contained backs with the seventh-lowest missed tackles per attempt, the second-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the tenth-lowest yards per carry to gap runs (since Week 7, Kamara 55.2% gap). Week 13 Positional Value: Volume-based RB2
|
|
7.
Derrick Henry
RB - TEN (vs . IND)
Henry is the RB19 in fantasy, averaging 17.9 touches and 82.4 total yards. Tennessee continues to make questionable calls with the game plans weekly. Even in a smash matchup last week with positive game script, Henry only saw 18 carries. Henry has not managed at least 20 carries since Week 8. Among 55 qualifying backs, Henry ranks seventh in explosive run rate, 15th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and ninth in yards after contact per attempt. Indy has been a middle-of-the-road run defense in most metrics while ranking near the bottom of the league in others. Since Week 7, the Colts ranked 16th in explosive run rate and 18th in missed tackles allowed per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. They have struggled with letting rushers get into the second-level and against zone runs, which could be the coffin nail against Henry. Since Week 7, Indy has the third-lowest yards before contact per attempt and the 12th-highest yards per carry allowed to zone runs (4.43). 56.3% of Henry's carries this season have come via zone plays. The King could be headed for his first 100-yard rushing day since Week 8. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
8.
Austin Ekeler
RB - LAC (at NE)
Since his return in Week 6, Ekeler has averaged 17.3 touches and 78.5 total yards. Since Week 6, among 58 qualifying backs, he has ranked 42nd in explosive run rate and 46th in yards after contact per attempt. Over his last seven games played, Ekeler has surpassed 80 total yards only twice. Ekeler likely won't reverse this concerning trend in Week 13. Since Week 7, New England has allowed the fifth-lowest explosive run rate and the third-lowest missed tackles per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Ekeler still probably sees 15-20 touches this week, and despite the bad matchup, if he falls into the end zone, he'll finish as a top-15 back in fantasy. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
9.
Kyren Williams
RB - LAR (vs . CLE)
Don't let last week's 61% snap share fool you. Bellcow Williams is back. Last week, in the first half with the game within two scores, Williams played 77% of the snaps for the Rams. If the Cardinals could have kept the game close, we would have seen a 70-75% snap rate for Williams. The reduction in second-half snaps didn't stop Williams from destroying the Cardinals for the second time this season with 22 touches, 204 total yards, and two scores. Williams is an elite play this week. Williams ranks 14th in explosive run rate, 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 14th in yards after contact per attempt. The Browns' secondary has been fearsome all season, while their run defense has been as soft as a sponge. Since Week 7, it has allowed the highest explosive run rate, the ninth-highest missed tackles per attempt, and the third-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: Elite RB1
|
|
10.
Isiah Pacheco
RB - KC (at GB)
Pacheco is the RB17 in fantasy points per game, averaging 17.6 touches and 81.1 total yards (since Week 2). Pacheco ranks 16th in explosive run rate and 25th in missed tackles forced per attempt. He is 19th in snap share, 12th in opportunity share, 18th in weighted opportunities, and ninth in red zone touches. Pacheco should slice through the cheesehead run defense. Since Week 7, Green Bay has allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the fifth-highest missed tackles per attempt, and the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
11.
Bijan Robinson
RB - ATL (at NYJ)
Hello, Bijan Robinson. Over the last two games, we haven't seen any usage goofiness from the powers that be in Atlanta. I'm hoping that we are over that nonsense. Since Week 10, Robinson has averaged 69% of the snaps with 21 touches and 114.5 total yards per game. Robinson ranks 17th in explosive run rate, sixth in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 22nd in yards after contact per attempt. Over the last two weeks, Robinson has seen 75% of the red zone opportunities for the backfield. Since Week 7, the Jets have been a neutral matchup for rushers, ranking 16th in yards after contact per attempt, 11th in missed tackles allowed per attempt, and 16th in yards per carry allowed to zone runs (Robinson 68.8% zone). Week 13 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
12.
Rachaad White
RB - TB (vs . CAR)
White is the RB10 in fantasy, coming off arguably his best game of the season with his first 100-yard rushing game of the year. White has averaged 18.0 touches and 83.9 total yards per game. He is sixth in snap share, ninth in opportunity share, fourth in weighted opportunities, and ninth in red zone touches. While White has piled up volume on the ground, ranking 11th in carries, his saving grace has been the pass game usage, ranking ninth in targets, third in receptions, and second in receiving yards among backs. While White's tackle-breaking hasn't been amazing, he has shown some signs of life here since Week 8. Over the last five weeks among 48 qualifying backs, he ranks 22nd in explosive run rate and 35th in yards after contact per attempt. Carolina remains a team that you can run on. Since Week 7, they have allowed the 11th-highest zone success rate (White 53.8% zone) and the seventh-highest rate of missed tackles per attempt and rushing touchdowns. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
13.
Zack Moss
RB - IND (at TEN)
With the news of Jonathan Taylor's thumb injury, Moss resumes his previous role as Indy's bell cow. In Weeks 2-5, he played at least 76% of the snaps weekly, averaging 24.2 touches and 129.3 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, Moss has been a king at tackle-breaking, ranking 18th in explosive run rate and 10th in missed tackles forced per attempt and yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 7, Tennessee has been a team that you can run the ball against, ranking 15th in rushing yards per game, 10th in explosive run rate, and 12th in yards after contact per attempt allowed. The last time that Moss tangled with Tennessee, he had 25 touches, rumbling for 195 total yards. Moss could easily see a similar workload this week. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1
|
|
14.
Jahmyr Gibbs
RB - DET (at NO)
Gibbs is the RB6 in fantasy points per game, ranking 18th in snap share and 19th in weighted opportunities. He is third in targets, fourth in receptions, and 12th in receiving yards among backs. Since Montgomery's return, he has played 56-71% of the snaps, averaging 15.3 touches and 93.4 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks third in explosive run rate, 11th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 27th in yards after contact per attempt. Gibbs should also be able to take advantage of the Saints' issues with defending zone runs. Since Week 7, they have allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt while also bleeding out the second-highest yards per carry to zone runs (5.07). Since Week 10, 54.5% of Gibbs' runs have come on zone plays. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1
|

15.
A.J. Brown
WR - PHI (vs . SF)
Brown is the WR5 in fantasy, ranking second in deep targets. Brown has four red zone looks in his last five games. He's been relatively quiet over the last three games by his standards, only surpassing 60 receiving yards once. This week, Brown should smash. Since Week 7, the 49ers have utilized single-high on 57.5% of their defensive snaps, but last week, it climbed to 62.9% with Talanoa Hufanga out for the season. Among 88 qualifying receivers against single-high, Brown ranks second in target share (34.7%), first in air-yard share (51.2%), third in YPRR (3.87), and first in first-read share (45.1%). Among the same sample of wide receivers, Brown is third in fantasy points per route run against single-high. Brown will dominate this week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
16.
Amon-Ra St. Brown
WR - DET (at NO)
St. Brown is the WR4 in fantasy with a 28.1% target share, a 33.0% air-yard share, 2.79 YPRR, and a 35.6% first-read share. St. Brown ranks tenth in red zone targets and has six looks inside the 20-yard line over his last three games. He has been the model of consistency, with at least 95 receiving yards in 70% of his games this season. St. Brown will run about 55% of his routes against Alontae Taylor (66.7% catch rate and 99.1 passer rating). Since Week 7, the Saints have allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
17.
Raheem Mostert
RB - MIA (at WAS)
Mostert opened this week with a DNP (ankle/knee). These are likely the same ailments that he dealt with last week, but last week he managed limited sessions all week. This backfield could boil down to Jeff Wilson this week if Mostert and Achane can't go. I'll update this backfield on Friday. This isn't a great matchup for the Dolphins' backs, though. Since Week 7, Washington has held backs to the tenth-lowest explosive run rate, the 13th-lowest missed tackles per attempt, and the fifth-lowest zone success rate.
|
|
18.
Rhamondre Stevenson
RB - NE (vs . LAC)
Since Week 9, Stevenson has been producing like his 2022 self. Over his last three games, Stevenson has averaged 20.7 touches and 112.7 total yards. Over that timeframe, among 44 qualifying backs, he has ranked 17th in missed tackles forced per attempt and third in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 7, the Bolts' run defense has fallen off the map, allowing the 12th-highest explosive run rate and the 10th-highest yards after contact per attempt. Stevenson should post borderline RB1 numbers again this week. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
19.
Breece Hall
RB - NYJ (vs . ATL)
Hall is operating inside of a broken offense. He has not rushed for more than 50 yards in any game since Week 6. Since Week 6, he has averaged 16.7 touches and 73.8 total yards, with his receiving role doing the heavy lifting. Over those last six games, he has averaged six targets, five receptions, and 43.5 receiving yards per game. Robert Saleh and I can disagree, and that's fine, but Hall's issues haven't been Hall's issues. This offense is broken, and he has zero running room. Hall has had to do it all alone for weeks. Among 53 qualifying backs, Hall still ranks 19th in explosive run rate, 12th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and third in yards after contact per attempt. Look at those numbers and tell me that the problem is Hall. It's not. Since Week 7, Atlanta has been a neutral matchup for backs, ranking 14th in explosive run rate, 17th in missed tackles allowed per attempt, and seventh in yards after contact per attempt allowed. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
20.
Keenan Allen
WR - LAC (at NE)
Allen remains the WR2 in fantasy, ranking 17th in deep targets and tenth in red zone targets. Allen has been on a tear with at least 14 targets, 10 receptions, and 106 receiving yards in his last three games. Allen has commanded a 31.8% target share, a 37.8% air-yard share, and a 41.3% first-read share while producing 2.75 YPRR. Since Week 7, New England has utilized man coverage at the highest rate in the NFL (46.4%). Against man, Allen has a 31.2% target share, 2.43 YPRR, and a 37.9% first-read share. Allen will run about 59% of his routes against Myles Bryant (84.3% catch rate and 111.9 passer rating). Allen opened the week with two DNPs (quad). He did practice on a limited basis on Friday and has been listed as questionable. I expect Allen to play his usual role this week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
21.
Javonte Williams
RB - DEN (at HOU)
Since Week 7, Williams has averaged 21.4 touches and 85.6 total yards as the RB18 in fantasy points per game. Williams has played anywhere from 49% of the snaps to 70% of the snaps (last week) weekly. Among 55 qualifying backs, Williams is sixth in explosive run rate and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. Williams will run into brick walls all day against a Houston run defense that since Week 7 has allowed the 12th-lowest explosive run rate and the fifth-lowest yards after contact per attempt while also flaunting the highest stuff rate. Williams is a volume-driven RB2. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
22.
David Montgomery
RB - DET (at NO)
Montgomery was limited on Wednesday (foot). I'll continue to monitor his practice reports this week, but for now, we'll assume he's good to go for Week 13. Since his return from injury in Week 10, he has played 27-40% of the snaps, averaging 13.7 touches and 95 total yards. During those three games, Montgomery split the red zone work down the middle with Gibbs, with each player getting 11 opportunities. Montgomery has been one of the most explosive backs in the league this season, ranking 15th in explosive run rate, third in missed tackles forced per attempt, and fourth in yards after contact per attempt. Montgomery should chew up some ground this week against a struggling New Orleans run defense. Since Week 7, they have allowed the sixth-highest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt while also bleeding out the second-highest yards per carry to zone runs (5.07). 53.4% of Montgomery's runs have been on zone plays. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
23.
Mike Evans
WR - TB (vs . CAR)
Evans has been amazing this season. He has rebounded nicely this season after everyone (myself included) wrote him off, with Mayfield chucking him passes. Evans is the WR8 in fantasy, ranking second in deep targets and 16th in red zone targets. 55% of his red zone target volume this season has come in the last four games. Evans has a 23.3% target share, a 41% air-yard share, 2.57 YPRR, and a 30% first-read share this season. Since Week 8, Carolina has utilized single-high at the fourth-highest rate (63.8%). Among 123 qualifying receivers against single-high, Evans ranks 12th in expected fantasy points per route run. Carolina has allowed the 10th-most PPR points per target this season to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
24.
Jaylen Warren
RB - PIT (vs . ARI)
Last week, Warren fumbled for the first time since Week 4. Who knows if that had an impact on his workload, but it has to be mentioned. Over his last four games, Warren has averaged 14.8 touches and 107.6 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, Warren ranks top-two in explosive run rate, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt. Warren can take any touch to the house. Since Week 9, Arizona has allowed the 14th-highest explosive run rate and the eighth-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Warren 58.1% zone) while also ranking 19th in missed tackles allowed per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
25.
Brian Robinson Jr.
RB - WAS (vs . MIA)
Robinson is the RB15 in fantasy points per game, ranking 17th in opportunity share, 14th in weighted opportunities, 12th in carries, and 20th in red zone touches. He has averaged 15.2 touches and 78.1 total yards. His previously lucrative pass game role that helped prop up his fantasy production in Weeks 10-11 evaporated last week with Gibson back. Robinson also saw his snaps dwindle to only 45%. Robinson ranks 22nd in explosive run rate and 19th in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 7, Miami has been a nightmare fuel matchup for backs with the sixth-lowest explosive run rate, the lowest missed tackle per attempt rate, and the fewest rushing yards per game allowed. Sit Robinson if you can, but most teams don't have that luxury. Just understand he likely needs a touchdown to pay off this week. Week 13 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
26.
Najee Harris
RB - PIT (vs . ARI)
Harris has finished as an RB2 or higher in five of his last six games (RB13, RB22, RB12, RB9, RB13). Since Week 7, he has averaged 15.6 touches and 71.7 total yards. Harris ranks fourth in explosive run rate and 17th in yards after contact per attempt. Harris should have another solid day this week. Since Week 9, Arizona has allowed the 14th-highest explosive run rate and the eighth-highest yards per carry to zone runs (Harris 56.6% zone) while also ranking 19th in missed tackles allowed per attempt. Over the last three games, Harris has had five red zone opportunities (Warren six). Week 13 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
27.
Jaylen Waddle
WR - MIA (at WAS)
Waddle has raised his season-long stock recently to WR20 after posting top 15 wide receiver finishes in three of his last six games (WR13, WR6, WR15). The problem is in his other three games in that sample, he has finished as the WR27, WR39, and WR36. Waddle still has a similar weekly ceiling as last year, but in 2023, the weekly floor can bottom out at any time. Hill is absorbing so much target oxygen from the passing room weekly that it crushes Waddle's fantasy stock at times. Since Week 8, Washington has utilized man coverage at the second-highest rate (42.0%). This is likely one of those weeks where Waddle has a middling game. Against man, Waddle has an 18.9% target share, a 26.5% air-yard share, 2.57 YPRR, and a 20% first-read share. Since Week 7, Washington has allowed the eighth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
28.
Zach Charbonnet
RB - SEA (at DAL)
Charbonnet has played at least 85% of the snaps in each game over the last two weeks while averaging 19.5 touches and 63.5 total yards. Charbonnet has averaged five targets per game over the last three weeks. Among 54 qualifying backs, Charbonnet ranks 24th in explosive run rate and 16th in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 7, Dallas has allowed the third-lowest explosive run rate while ranking in the middle of the road in yards after contact per attempt (14th) and yards per carry to zone runs (16th) allowed. 68.7% of Charbonnet's runs have been on zone plays. Charbonnet is a volume-based RB2. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
29.
D'Andre Swift
RB - PHI (vs . SF)
Swift is the RB12 in fantasy, averaging 19.3 touches and 96.8 total yards (since Week 2). Swift ranks 14th in snap share, 13th in opportunity share, and 10th in weighted opportunities. He is also sixth in carries and 12th in red zone touches among running backs. Swift ranks 12th in explosive run rate and 31st in missed tackles forced per attempt. He should shred the 49ers' run defense that has massive discrepancies in what they've allowed to zone and gap runs this season. The 49ers haven't been impervious overall, ranking 15th in explosive run rate and ninth in yards after contact per attempt since Week 7, but where they truly struggle is against zone runs. Against gap runs, they have allowed only 3.16 yards per carry, but versus zone they have given up the tenth-highest yards per carry (4.53) and the second-highest success rate since Week 7. Swift should see 15-20 touches this week. Week 13 Positional Value: RB1/2
|
|
30.
Jerome Ford
RB - CLE (at LAR)
Ford has played at least 64% of the snaps in three of the last four games. In those three contests, Ford averaged 18.6 touches and 88.3 total yards. Ford is the RB25 in fantasy, ranking 17th in carries and 13th in targets. Ford has been one of the best tackle breakers in the NFL this season, ranking 19th in missed tackles forced and 13th in yards after contact per attempt. Ford will be running uphill all day against a run defense that, since Week 7, has allowed the lowest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt, along with the fifth-lowest missed tackles per attempt. Ford is a volume play only. Week 13 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
31.
Brandon Aiyuk
WR - SF (at PHI)
Aiyuk is the WR12 in fantasy while leading the 49ers in deep targets (14). His issue remains with his lack of a red zone role, with only one target inside the 20-yard line since Week 4. Aiyuk won't need the red zone looks this week, though. Since Week 7, the Eagles have operated with the seventh-highest rate of man coverage (33.5%) and with 57% of their defensive snaps in single-high (PHI: fourth-highest fantasy points per dropback allowed in single-high). Aiyuk has destroyed single-high and man coverage, with Samuel in the lineup leading the team in target share, air-yard share, and YPRR against both. Adding Aiyuk's deep pass game role on top of this, he is set to smash this week. Since Week 7, the Eagles are tied for the most receiving touchdowns allowed to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR1
|
|
32.
Devin Singletary
RB - HOU (vs . DEN)
Last week, with Pierce returning, Singletary still played 82% of the snaps with 12 touches and 72 total yards. He saw a huge uptick in pass game usage with seven targets, six receptions, and 54 receiving yards. Since Week 10, Singletary has played at least 81% of the snaps weekly, averaging 22.3 touches and 117 total yards as the RB6 in fantasy. Singletary is eighth in missed tackles forced per attempt and 36th in explosive run rate. Since Week 7, the Broncos have continued to struggle to stop rushing attacks, ranking eighth in explosive run rate and second in yards after contact per attempt with the highest missed tackles per attempt. Houston could feed Singletary another 20-25 touches this week. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2 with RB1 upside
|
|
33.
Michael Pittman Jr.
WR - IND (at TEN)
With Minshew under center, Pittman has had a 28.5% target share, a 34.1% air-yard share, 2.22 YPRR, and a 37.0% first-read share. Pittman is the WR17 in fantasy and is tied for the second-most red zone targets in the NFL. Since Week 7, Tennessee has utilized zone coverage at the ninth-highest rate (75.6%). Since Week 6, with Minshew starting and Josh Downs playing at least 65% of snaps, Pittman has had a 22% target share, a 28.4% air-yard share, 1.54 YPRR, and a 29.4% first-read share against zone. Pittman should eat again this week against a Tennessee secondary that, since Week 7, has allowed the fifth-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Pittman will run about 70% of his routes against Sean-Murphy Bunting (65.5% catch rate and 87.3 passer rating) and Kristian Fulton (72.3% catch rate and 122.5 passer rating). Week 13 Positional Value: WR1/2
|
|
34.
Travis Kelce
TE - KC (at GB)
Kelce is a must-start weekly. Yes, I know that is groundbreaking info. Kelce is the TE1 in fantasy, ranking second in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. He is sixth in deep targets and second in red zone targets. Do you really need me to discuss the matchup for Kelce? I didn't think so. Play him. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
35.
James Conner
RB - ARI (at PIT)
Last week, the Cardinals were getting blown out, and Conner only played 42% of the snaps. I don't think that's indicative of his role. In his previous two games, he averaged 66% of the snaps with 16 touches and 68 total yards per game. Conner ranks ninth in explosive run rate and fourth in missed tackles forced per attempt. The volume of previous seasons has not been there this year. Conner has only one game this season with at least 20 carries. Conner is in for a long day in Week 13. Since Week 7, the Steelers have allowed the seventh-lowest explosive run rate and rushing yards per game while also holding backs to the 13th-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: RB2/3
|
|
36.
Tank Dell
WR - HOU (vs . DEN)
Dell opened the week with a DNP (calf). We'll need to monitor his practice reports for the rest of the week. DeMeco Ryans didn't sound worried about Dell, so we'll proceed with the thought that he plays this week with his usual allotment of snaps. In the seven games this season, with Dell and Nico Collins both playing full-time roles, Dell has had a 21.4% target share, a 35.1% air-yard share, 2.60 YPRR, and a 23.2% first-read share. Since Week 7, Denver has utilized single-high on 56.8% of their defensive snaps. In those seven games against single-high, Dell has had a 25.2% target share, a 37.2% air-yard share, 2.93 YPRR, and a 28.1% first-read share. Houston has slid Dell inside to the slot on three occasions this season, with Dell seeing a 34.3-42.2% slot rate. They could easily do that again this week to keep Dell away from Surtain. I'm projecting Collins to get the Surtain shadow, which means Dell will see Fabian Moreau (59.3% catch rate and 57.9 passer rating) and Ja'Quan McMillian (60% catch rate and 83.1 passer rating) all day in coverage. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2

Deebo Samuel
WR - SF (at PHI)
Samuel is the WR26 in fantasy points per game. Since Week 7, the Eagles have operated with the seventh-highest rate of man coverage (33.5%) and with 57% of their defensive snaps in single-high (PHI: fourth-highest fantasy points per dropback allowed in single-high). Samuel has taken a back seat against single-high and man coverage this season, with Aiyuk and Kittle leading the way. He hasn't eclipsed 1.4 YPRR or a 17% first-read share against either man coverage or single-high. Samuel should offer solid WR3 production this week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3

38.
AJ Dillon
RB - GB (vs . KC)
In his four starts this season, Dillon has been underwhelming, and that's putting it kindly. He has averaged 16 touches and 63.2 total yards with RB33, RB56, RB13, and RB25 weekly finishes. Dillon has been running like a fullback this season. Among 55 qualifying backs, Dillon ranks 40th in explosive run rate and 46th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Dillon's matchup this week is amazing. Since Week 7, Kansas City has allowed the 11th-highest explosive run rate, the fourth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the highest yards per carry to zone runs (Dillon 51.1% zone). It's fair to question if Dillon can take advantage of this amazing matchup, though. Week 13 Positional Value: RB3 (if Jones is out)
|
|
39.
Joe Mixon
RB - CIN (at JAC)
Last week, Mixon played his usual snap share, but he had only ten touches, turning them into 60 total yards. Mixon is the RB22, averaging 17.6 touches and 77.6 total yards. He ranks seventh in snap share, first in opportunity share, and fifth in weighted opportunities. Among 55 qualifying backs, he ranks 46th in explosive run rate and 36th in yards after contact per attempt. Mixon could shock people with a big day in Week 13. Since Week 7, Jacksonville's run defense has had some serious issues, allowing the fourth-highest explosive run rate, the 12th-highest missed tackles per attempt, and the second-highest yards per carry to gap runs (Mixon 55.3% gap). Week 13 Positional Value: RB2
|
|
40.
Ja'Marr Chase
WR - CIN (at JAC)
Last week, Chase had a 23.1% target share, a 45.8% air-yard share, 2.79 YPRR, and a 30% first-read share. He finished as the WR33 in weekly fantasy scoring. Chase ranks 21st in deep targets and third in red zone targets among wideouts. He should be considered a low-end WR2 just based on volume weekly. Jacksonville has allowed the eighth-highest PPR points per target since Week 7. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
41.
DeVonta Smith
WR - PHI (vs . SF)
Smith is the WR17 in fantasy points per game, ranking 17th in deep targets. Since Week 7, the 49ers have utilized single-high on 57.5% of their defensive snaps, but last week, it climbed to 62.9% with Talanoa Hufanga out for the season. Against single-high, Smith has a 19.4% target share, a 27.6% air-yard share, 1.20 YPRR, and a 19.7% first-read share. His fantasy points per route run have cratered to 0.28, which, among 88 qualifying wide receivers, ranks 62nd immediately behind Robert Woods. This doesn't project as a Smith smash week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
42.
Nico Collins
WR - HOU (vs . DEN)
In the seven games this season that Collins and Dell have been full-time players, Collins has had a 21.0% target share, a 25.7% air-yard share, 3.05 YPRR, and a 27.4% first-read share. Collins has seven red zone targets over his last four games. Since Week 7, Denver has utilized single-high on 56.8% of their defensive snaps. In those seven games against single-high, Collins has had a 22.3% target share, a 24.2% air-yard share, 4.40 YPRR, and a 28.1% first-read share (ted with Dell). The biggest issue for Collins is that he will likely see shadow coverage from Patrick Surtain this week. Collins has been a boundary receiver all season, with only one game with higher than a 26.9% slot rate. Surtain has only rolled into the slot for 19 snaps this season, so it should be easy for Surtain (62.7% catch rate and 93.6 passer rating) to stay with him. Surtain has seven games this season in which he has followed the opposing team's top receiver for at least 57.7% of their routes. The list of receivers is insane. Surtain has shadowed Amari Cooper, Stefon Diggs, Garrett Wilson, D.J. Moore, Tyreek Hill, and Davante Adams. Only Hill and Moore surpassed 40 receiving yards in primary coverage with Surtain, and none of them scored touchdowns while shadowed by Surtain. Downgrade Collins this week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
43.
Calvin Ridley
WR - JAC (vs . CIN)
Ridley is heating up. He is the WR22 in fantasy now, ranking 15th in deep targets and 23rd in red zone targets. He has five red zone targets over his last three games. Over the last two weeks, he has finished as the WR1 and WR11 in weekly scoring. Since Week 8, the Bengals have utilized single-high on 59.3% of their defensive snaps. Against single-high, Ridley has had a 24.4% target share, a 43.2% air-yard share, 2.44 YPRR, and a 28.1% first-read share. This looks like another smash week for Ridley. Ridley leads the team with six end zone targets against single high. Since Week 7, the Bengals have allowed the 13th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
44.
Chuba Hubbard
RB - CAR (at TB)
With Carolina's coaching staff getting gutted this week, there's no telling how the backfield workload will be divided up this week. Approach Hubbard cautiously this week, but the matchup is already horrendous, so it's not like I'm telling you to fade a player in a smash spot. Last week, Hubbard saw his snap count bounce back with 64% of the snaps played with 19 touches and 92 total yards. Among 55 qualifying backs, Hubbard ranks 30th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 23rd in yards after contact per attempt. Tampa Bay has remained a rock-solid run-stopping unit since Week 7, allowing the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, the ninth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the 10th-lowest yards per carry to zone runs (Hubbard 61% zone). Hubbard is a shaky flex this week that could flirt with 15-20 touches or see the wrong side of committee work with Sanders. Week 13 Positional Value: RB3
|
|
45.
Terry McLaurin
WR - WAS (vs . MIA)
McLaurin is the WR32 in fantasy points per game, ranking 13th in deep target, but he is only 43rd in red zone targets. He has only one target in the red zone over his last four games. Since Week 8, Miami has the sixth-highest rate of zone coverage in the NFL (81.2%). In the nine games this season in which Curtis Samuel has played his usual role, McLaurin has had an 18.8% target share, a 26.5% air-yard share, 1.44 YPRR, and a 25.2% first-read share against zone coverage. McLaurin has only one end zone target in this sample. Since Week 8, Miami has allowed the 13th-lowest PPR points per target and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
46.
Puka Nacua
WR - LAR (vs . CLE)
In the last four games with Kupp playing a full-time role, Nacua has had a 27.0% target share, a 31.6% air-yard share, 2.23 YPRR, and a 31.2% first-read share. He has also led the team, with 21.2% of his looks coming on designed plays (Kupp 3.8%). Since Week 7, Cleveland has trotted out single high at the highest rate (69.1%) in the NFL. In this four-game sample against single-high, Nacua has had a 25.8% target share, a 28.5% air-yard share, 3.28 YPRR, and a 30.2% first read share. Since Week 7, Cleveland has ranked 15th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
47.
Christian Kirk
WR - JAC (vs . CIN)
Kirk is the WR24 in fantasy, ranking 32nd in deep targets. He has three red zone looks in his last three games. Since Week 8, the Bengals have utilized single-high on 59.3% of their defensive snaps. Against single-high, Kirk has had an 18.4% target share, a 27.3% air-yard share, 2.10 YPRR, and a 19.9% first-read share. He is tied for second on the team with two end zone targets against single-high. Since Week 7, the Bengals have allowed the third-most PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
48.
Cooper Kupp
WR - LAR (vs . CLE)
In the last four games that Kupp has played at least 84% of the snaps, he has had a 21.3% target share, a 30.4% air-yard share, and a 26.7% first read share, producing only 1.00 YPRR and 29 receiving yards per game. Since Week 7, Cleveland has trotted out single high at the highest rate (69.1%) in the NFL. Kupp's numbers don't look any better against single-high with only 1.08 YPRR. To make matters worse, Kupp has only two red zone targets over his last five games played. It's sad to say, but Kupp is difficult to trust in your lineups these days. Since Week 7, the Browns have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points per target to slot receivers (Kupp 53% slot). Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
49.
Adam Thielen
WR - CAR (at TB)
After his hot start to the season, Thielen has cooled off considerably since Week 8. Over his last five games, he has surpassed 70 receiving yards only twice, with a 24.4% target share, a 25.5% air-yard share, 1.15 YPRR, and a 30.2% first-read share. Since Week 8, Tampa Bay has utilized single-high at the 11th-highest rate (59.8%). Thielen has been the team's single-high beater this season with a 26.8% target share, a 33.1% air-yard share, 2.15 YPRR, and a 35.8% air-yard share. Thielen will run about 70% of his routes against Christian Izien (80% catch rate and 104.1 passer rating). This could be the Thielen bounceback spot. Tampa Bay has allowed the fourth-most PPR points per target and the second-most receiving yards to slot receivers this season. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
50.
George Kittle
TE - SF (at PHI)
Kittle should bounce back this week after a rare down game in Week 12. Kittle is the TE4 in fantasy, ranking first in deep targets and eighth in red zone looks among tight ends. Kittle is third in receiving yards and yards after the catch. Since Week 7, the Eagles have operated with the seventh-highest rate of man coverage (33.5%) and with 57% of their defensive snaps in single-high. Against single-high and man coverage, Kittle has been the 49ers' second option in the passing game, with a 21.2% target share against single-high and a 21.8% target share versus man coverage. He ranks second in YPRR against both coverage types, with Samuel healthy. Kittle leads the team with a 25.6% first read share against man coverage while also noting he also leads the team with three end zone targets against single-high. Kittle should crush souls this week against an Eagles defense that has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game and is tied for the most receiving touchdowns per game given up to tight ends. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
51.
DK Metcalf
WR - SEA (at DAL)
Since Week 8, Metcalf has remained the leader of this passing attack with a 25.1% target share, a 48.7% air-yard share, 2.10 YPRR, and a 33.9% first-read share. He also leads the team with seven end zone targets during the last five games. Since Week 7, Dallas has had the second-highest rate of single-high (68.9%) in the NFL. Since Week 8 against single-high, Metcalf has had a 28.2% target share, a 54.9% air-yard share, 2.37 YPRR, and a 39.1% first-read share. Metcalf will be leaned on this week, but it's fair to question how much success he will have. Since Week 7, Dallas has held perimeter wide receivers to the second-lowest PPR points per target. Metcalf will run about 63% of his routes against Dallas's top baller, DaRon Bland (52.5% catch rate and 36.9 passer rating). Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
52.
Courtland Sutton
WR - DEN (at HOU)
Sutton is the WR25 in fantasy, ranking sixth in red zone targets and third in total touchdowns among wide receivers. Sutton has scored in eight of 11 games this season, including five games in a row. That streak was snapped last week. Sutton has a 21.3% target share, a 39.0% air-yard share, 1.82 YPRR, and a 26.3% first-read share. Since Week 7, Houston has utilized two-high at the fourth-highest rate (58.2%). Against two-high, Sutton has seen his target share decrease to 19.4% with a 39.8% air-yard share, 1.51 YPRR, and a 24.1% first read share. Sutton will run about 76% of his routes against Derek Stingley Jr. (70.6% catch rate and 112.6 passer rating) and Steven Nelson (62.5% catch rate and 71.9 passer rating). Sutton should have a productive day against a secondary that, since Week 7, has allowed the most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
53.
DeAndre Hopkins
WR - TEN (vs . IND)
Since Week 9, with Levis under center, Hopkins has had a 23.6% target share, a 38.7% air-yard share, 1.93 YPRR, and a 28.6% first-read share. Sadly, these healthy market share metrics have only amounted to 48.8 receiving yards per game for Hopkins as he's had to deal with Levis's inaccurate target barrage. Since Week 6, Indy has ranked 17th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers. Two of their three receiving touchdowns allowed in this span to boundary wide receivers occurred in Week 12 against Mike Evans. Hopkins is an uninspiring WR3. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
54.
Garrett Wilson
WR - NYJ (vs . ATL)
Wilson is the WR22 in fantasy, ranking ninth in deep targets and 13th in red zone targets. Wilson has a 28.7% target share, a 48.7% air-yard share, 1.71 YPRR, and a 40.8% first-read share. A.J. Terrell hasn't followed a receiver for at least 58% of their routes since he matched up with DeAndre Hopkins in Week 8. Terrell has followed only Calvin Ridley, Hopkins, and Mike Evans for at least 58% of their routes this season. Each of these three receivers finished with at least 38 receiving yards and a score with Terrell in their back pocket. Wilson remains a volume play. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2/3
|
|
55.
Rashee Rice
WR - KC (at GB)
Last week, Rice had a 63.2% route run rate, a 29.4% target share, a 29.4% air-yard share, 4.46 YPRR, and a 31.8% first-read share. The rookie genie is out of the bottle. After Rice's eight receptions and 107 receiving yard explosion last week, I don't see the team cutting his snaps again. Rice also graduated into an outside receiver role, running 66.7% of his routes on the perimeter last week. Rice is 16th among wide receivers in red zone targets this season. Since Week 7, Green Bay has allowed the 11th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
56.
Josh Downs
WR - IND (at TEN)
Since Week 6, Downs has four games in which he has managed at least 65% of the snaps played with Minshew. Since Week 7, Tennessee has utilized zone coverage at the ninth-highest rate (75.6%). In those four games against zone coverage, Downs has led the team with a 24% target share, 2.20 YPRR, a 22.9% air-yard share, and a 27.9% first-read share. Downs will run about 83% of his routes against Roger McCreary (68.8% catch rate and 83.3 passer rating). Tennessee has done a good job of holding slot receivers in check. Since Week 7, Tennessee has allowed the sixth-lowest PPR points per target to slot receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
57.
George Pickens
WR - PIT (vs . ARI)
Pickens has faded into the background with Johnson back. Since Week 8, Arizona has had the second-highest rate of two high (63.9%). Since Week 7, against two-high, Pickens has a 14.4% target share, a 30.3% air-yard share, 0.71 YPRR, and a 16.9% first-read share. Pickens is always a threat to catch a deep bomb, but he likely doesn't see a ton of volume this week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
58.
Sam LaPorta
TE - DET (at NO)
Ballgame is the TE4 in fantasy, ranking 14th in deep targets and ninth in red zone targets among tight ends. After a small dry spell, he has rebounded with top-nine finishes in three of his last five games (TE4, TE9, TE3). Ballgame has five red zone targets over his last four games. Among 49 qualifying tight ends, he is eighth in target share (19.0%), ninth in YPRR (1.72), and ninth in first-read share (20.2%). The days of the Saints being a lockdown defense against tight ends are over. They have allowed the 13th-most fantasy points per game and the most receiving touchdowns per game (tied) to the position. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
59.
Tyler Lockett
WR - SEA (at DAL)
Lockett is the WR29 in fantasy with only four games where he has landed inside the top-24 wide receivers in weekly fantasy scoring. Since Week 7, Dallas has had the second-highest rate of single-high (68.9%) in the NFL. Since Week 8 against single-high, Lockett has had a 19.1% target share, a 21.4% air-yard share, 1.61 YPRR, and an 18.8% first-read share (third on the team). Lockett will run about half of his routes against Stephon Gilmore (50% catch rate and 76.3 passer rating). Gilmore remains one of the best corners in the NFL. Keep your Lockett hopes in check for Week 13. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
60.
Diontae Johnson
WR - PIT (vs . ARI)
In the six games since his return from injury, Johnson has three games as a WR2 or higher in weekly scoring (WR23, WR20, WR6). Since Week 7, he has had a 26.9% target share, a 45.4% air-yard share, 1.84 YPRR, and a 31.6% first-read share. Since Week 8, Arizona has had the second-highest rate of two high (63.9%). Since Week 7, against two high, Johnson has a 25.6% target share, a 42.3% air-yard share, 1.74 YPRR, and a 30.8% first read share. Johnson should smash this week. The Cardinals have allowed the third-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers this season. Week 13 Positional Value: WR2
|
|
61.
Tyler Allgeier
RB - ATL (at NYJ)
Allgeier has been reduced to desperation flex or handcuff-only status. Over the last two games, he has averaged 28% of the snaps played with 10 touches and 51 total yards per game. If you have Robinson on your roster, hold him. If you have him stashed on your bench, there might be better handcuffs to target on the wire. Week 13 Positional Value: Handcuff
|
|
62.
Taysom Hill
TE - NO (vs . DET)
Over the last two weeks, Hill has seen his playing time reduced to 30-35% of the snaps played, but that likely changes this week with the Saints running out of healthy bodies on offense. Since Week 6, he has been the TE5 in fantasy points per game, averaging nine touches and 60.8 total yards without counting on his passing production. Hill is a weekly dice roll that can pay off big time with a top-five tight-end finish. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
63.
Christian Watson
WR - GB (vs . KC)
Watson is coming off arguably his best game of the season. Since Week 5, he has had a 16.6% target share, a 36.8% air-yard share, 1.65 YPRR, and a 21.5% first-read share (first on the team). Since Week 7, Kansas City has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (70.7%). Against two-high, Watson has seen his target share fall to 14.6%, his air-yard share dip to 25.6%, his YPRR crater to 0.55, and his first-read share flop at 18.8%. All of these numbers paint a grim picture for Watson in Week 13. Sit him if you can. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
64.
Amari Cooper
WR - CLE (at LAR)
Cooper didn't show up on the injury report to open the week after taking a huge shot to the ribs last week, so for now, we'll assume that he plays his usual allotment of snaps this week. Cooper has a 21.5% target share, a 40% air-yard share, 2.07 YPRR, and a 27.4% first read share. Since Week 7, the Rams have had the 12th-highest rate of single-high. Against single-high Cooper has a 21.9% target share, a 38.1% air-yard share, 2.38 YPRR, and a 27.6% first-read share. Since Week 7, the Rams have allowed the tenth-most PPR points per target and receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
65.
Marquise Brown
WR - ARI (at PIT)
Brown opened this week with a DNP (heel). Brown had a limited practice to open last week before back-to-back DNPs to close last week. Brown ended up playing last week. He played 87% of the snaps last week, drawing a 26.7% target share, a 48.2% air-yard share, and a 33.3% first read share with 2.15 YPRR. We'll see what the rest of the week looks like for his practice participation, but I'm currently projecting him to play in Week 13. Since Week 8, Pittsburgh has had the third-highest rate of single-high (66.7%). Brown has had a 27.4% target share, a 43.5% air-yard share, 1.97 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share against single-high. Brown's biggest worry is shadow coverage from Joey Porter Jr. Since Week 9, Porter Jr. has shadowed three times following Ja'Marr Chase, Amari Cooper, and DeAndre Hopkins on at least 76.5% of their routes. Only Chase managed more than 40 receiving yards in Porter Jr.'s (41.2% catch rate and 59.2 passer rating) primary coverage. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
66.
Trey McBride
TE - ARI (at PIT)
McBride popped up with a groin issue this week, which is new. He missed practice on Wednesday. I'll update his outlook on Friday. Even if McBride plays, this is a terrible matchup for him. Pittsburgh has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game and yards per reception to tight ends.
|
|
67.
Jayden Reed
WR - GB (vs . KC)
Reed didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday (chest). He managed a limited practice on Friday. Over the last two weeks, Reed has had a 72.7% route run rate, an 18.1% target share, a 15.3% air-yard share, 1.43 YPRR, and a 23.5% first-read share. Reed is in the flex conversation again this week. Kansas City has allowed the sixth-highest PPR points per target to slot receivers since Week 7. Since Week 7, Kansas City has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (70.7%). Against two high, Reed has had a 12.7% target share, 1.89 YPRR, and a 15.5% first-read share. Week 13 Positional Value: Solid flex play
|
|
68.
Brandin Cooks
WR - DAL (vs . SEA)
Cooks has found a second wind since Week 6 with receiving touchdowns in four of six games and two outings with at least 72 receiving yards. Since Week 7, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (83.7%). Since Week 6, Cook has had an 11.3% target share, 1.64 YPRR, and an 11.9% first read share against zone. Cooks will run about 58% of his routes on the boundary. Since Week 6, Seattle has ranked 15th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
69.
De'Von Achane
RB - MIA (at WAS)
Achane opened the week with a limited session (knee). He practiced in a limited fashion all of last week before getting ruled out, so I don't see this as a positive sign that he will be back in Week 13. I'll update his outlook on Friday. This backfield could boil down to Jeff Wilson leading the way.
|
|
70.
Evan Engram
TE - JAC (vs . CIN)
Engram should have had his first touchdown of the season last week, but Lawrence fastballed him and zoomed the ball over his head in the end zone. Engram is the TE7 in fantasy, ranking fourth in deep targets. He has four red zone looks over his last four games. Since Week 8, the Bengals have utilized single-high on 59.3% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, Engram has had a 22.1% target share, 1.83 YPRR, and a 25.1% first-read share. The Bengals have been burned all season by tight ends, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to the position. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
71.
Chris Godwin
WR - TB (vs . CAR)
Godwin has endured a tough season as the WR41 in fantasy. Godwin hasn't cracked double-digit fantasy points since Week 8 against Buffalo, which was only the second time all season he has surpassed 14 fantasy points in a game. Since Week 8, Carolina has utilized single-high at the fourth-highest rate (63.8%). Against single-high, Godwin has a 22.7% target share, a 23.3.% air-yard share, 1.84 YPRR, and a 29.1% first-read share. Among 123 qualifying receivers against single-high, Godwin ranks 39th in fantasy points per route run and 41st in expected fantasy points per route run. Carolina has allowed the 10th-most PPR points per target this season to perimeter wide receivers, so maybe there is some hope Godwin has a mini bounce-back week. At this point in the season, I won't be surprised if this is just another Evans game. Godwin was limited on Thursday (neck) and didn't practice on Friday. He has been listed as questionable. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3

Kareem Hunt
RB - CLE (at LAR)
Hunt is a sit. Last week, he played his lowest snap rate since Week 7, with only 26% of snaps played with seven touches and 22 rushing yards. Hunt looked like a shell of himself all season. The Rams are not a team to run on, so I doubt Hunt has success this week. Since Week 7, Los Angeles has allowed the lowest explosive run rate and yards after contact per attempt, along with the fifth-lowest missed tackles per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit

73.
Jahan Dotson
WR - WAS (vs . MIA)
Dotson has had a disappointing season, to say the least, as the WR54 in fantasy points per game. He has only four games this season in which he has finished as a WR3 or better. Since Week 8, Miami has the sixth-highest rate of zone coverage in the NFL (81.2%). In the nine games this season in which Samuel has played his usual snap amount, Dotson has had a 14.3% target share, a 20.7% air-yard share, 0.68 YPRR, and an 18.9% first read share. Since Week 8, Miami has allowed the 13th-lowest PPR points per target and the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
74.
Tyjae Spears
RB - TEN (vs . IND)
Spears is a handcuff only at this stage of the game. Over the last two weeks, he has averaged 43% of the snaps with 4.5 touches and 16.5 total yards per game. He remains a priority handcuff, though, ranking first in explosive run rate, second in missed tackles forced per attempt, and second in yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: Handcuff
|
|
75.
Curtis Samuel
WR - WAS (vs . MIA)
Samuel is the WR48 in fantasy points per game who has flashed a high ceiling when the matchup is right. He has four WR2 or higher finishes this season and could add another this week. Since Week 8, Miami has the sixth-highest rate of zone coverage in the NFL (81.2%). In the nine games this season in which Samuel has played his usual snap amount, he has had a 13.9% target share, 1.62 YPRR, and a 17.5% first-read share against zone. Miami has allowed the seventh-most receiving touchdowns (tied) and the 12th-highest passer rating to slot receivers this season. Samuel will run about 73% of his routes against Kader Kohou (84.6% catch rate and 129.8 passer rating). Samuel should eat this week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3/4 with WR2 upside
|
|
76.
Jerry Jeudy
WR - DEN (at HOU)
Jeudy is the WR56 in Fantasy. Since Week 3, he has only one game with more than 60 receiving yards. Denver has been trying to get him going with four red zone targets over his last four games. Since Week 7, Houston has utilized two-high at the fourth-highest rate (58.2%). Against two-high, Jeudy has had a 15.8% target share with 1.01 YPRR and a 25.0% first-read share. He has a crippling 0.21 fantasy points per route run against two-high. Jeudy is a sit this week, assuming that he is active. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
77.
Drake London
WR - ATL (at NYJ)
Since Week 2, London has had a 23.0% target share, a 29.8% air-yard share, 2.10 YPRR, and a 28.8% first-read share. London has three WR2 or higher finishes this season. London is 19th in targets inside the 10-yard line with six looks. This is a brutal matchup for London. New York has allowed the fourth-lowest PPR points per target and zero receiving touchdowns to perimeter receivers this season. London will run about 74% of his routes against Sauce Gardner (64.9% catch rate and 90.4 passer rating) and D.J. Reed (73.5% catch rate and 81.5 passer rating). Week 13 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
78.
David Njoku
TE - CLE (at LAR)
Since Week 7, Njoku has ranked fourth in target share (24.2%), 11th in YPRR (1.74), and fifth in first-read share (27.7%) among 36 qualifying tight ends. Since Week 7, Njoku has been the TE7 in fantasy points per game and has seen a ridiculous 12 red zone targets. Njokku has a beautiful matchup this week against a Rams defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game and the second-highest yards per reception to tight ends. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
79.
Jake Ferguson
TE - DAL (vs . SEA)
Ferguson should be Prescott's best friend in Week 13. Since Week 7, Seattle has utilized zone coverage at the fourth-highest rate (83.7%). Since Week 6, against zone coverage, Ferguson has had a 14.1% target share (second on the team) with 1.52 YPRR and a 16.8% first read share. Ferguson is second in the NFL in red zone targets, behind only Davante Adams. Seattle has allowed the 11th-most receiving yards per game and the 10th-most receptions per game to tight ends. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
80.
Ezekiel Elliott
RB - NE (vs . LAC)
Stevenson has shoved Elliott back into his desperation flex/handcuff-only corner since Week 9. Outside his outlier workload in Week 10, Elliott has averaged 10 touches and 41 total yards since Week 9. Hold him on your roster if you have Stevenson or flex him if you are struggling in deep leagues, but Elliott is not a must-play. In most 10-12 team leagues, he is not worth a roster spot. Week 13 Positional Value: Handcuff
|
|
81.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
WR - SEA (at DAL)
I expect Smith-Njigba to be a focal point of the passing attack this week. Smith-Njigba has not managed more than seven targets in a game all season. I expect that to change this week. Since Week 7, Dallas has had the second-highest rate of single-high (68.9%) in the NFL. Since Week 8 against single-high, Smith-Njigba has had a 14.5% target share with a healthy aDOT of 9.4, 2.04 YPRR, and a 20.3% first read share (second on the team). Where you attack this Dallas secondary is the slot. Smith-Njigba will run about 72% of his routes against Jourdan Lewis (73.7% catch rate and 127.2 passer rating). Among 35 qualifying slot corners, Lewis ranks 34th in passer rating when targeted and 29th in yards per coverage snap. Smith-Njigba could lead Seattle in receiving production this week. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3
|
|
82.
Dameon Pierce
RB - HOU (vs . DEN)
In his return, Pierce played a distant second fiddle to Devin Singletary with only 11 snaps played (18%), six touches and 18 total yards. It looks like this backfield belongs to Singletary. Pierce is droppable. Week 13 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
83.
Miles Sanders
RB - CAR (at TB)
Sanders saw his work cut back to previous levels last week with 36% of the snaps played with 15 carries and only 28 rushing yards. Sit Sanders this week. It's possible that he could lead this backfield in touches with the coaching staff shakeup, but there's no way to project that confidently. Even when he has been a workhorse for this team, he hasn't been very productive. The matchup is also brutal on the ground this week. Since Week 7, Tampa Bay has allowed the 11th-lowest explosive run rate, the ninth-lowest yards after contact per attempt, and the 10th-lowest yards per carry to zone runs (Sanders 63.9% zone). Week 13 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
84.
Romeo Doubs
WR - GB (vs . KC)
Doubs could lead Green Bay in receiving production this week. Since Week 7, Kansas City has utilized two high at the highest rate in the NFL (70.7%). Against two high since Week 5, Doubs has had a 19.8% target share, a 31.3% air-yard share, 1.76 YPRR, and a 24.6% first read share. Doubs could get shadowed by L'Jarius Sneed this week, which would be crippling for him. Sneed has been lockdown as a shadow corner. Sneed has followed Davante Adams, Calvin Ridley, A.J. Brown, D.J. Moore, Justin Jefferson, Garrett Wilson, and Josh Palmer on at least 54.3% of their routes. In shadow coverage, Sneed hasn't allowed a receiving touchdown, and only Adams has finished with more than 50 receiving yards in his primary coverage. Week 13 Positional Value: WR3/4
|
|
85.
A.T. Perry
WR - NO (vs . DET)
Over the last two weeks, Perry has had a 77.5% route run rate due to injuries to the wide receiver room. He hasn't done much with the snap infusion, with a 5.3% target share, a 5.9% air-yard share, 0.23 YPRR, and a 6.7% first read share. Since Week 7, the Lions have allowed the second-highest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Perry is a deep-league desperation flex only. Week 13 Positional Value: Deep league flex dart throw
|
|
86.
Rico Dowdle
RB - DAL (vs . SEA)
Dowdle enters the low-end flex conversation this week with the matchup for the ground game. Dowdle hasn't seen a ton of work this season, averaging 6.2 touches and 28.7 total yards per game, but he has had at least ten touches in two of his last three games with Dallas blowing opponents out, which could happen again versus Seattle. Dowdle has flashed some juice with the ball, ranking seventh in yards after contact per attempt (minimum 50 carries). Since Week 7, Seattle has allowed the third-highest explosive run rate, the second-most missed tackles per attempt, and the highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: Low-end flex
|
|
87.
Elijah Moore
WR - CLE (at LAR)
Moore is the WR60 in fantasy, but his arrow has been trending up with five red zone targets in his last seven games and at least 44 receiving yards in each of his last three games. Since Week 7, the Rams have had the 12th-highest rate of single-high. Against single-high, Moore has a 21.9% target share, 1.15 YPRR, and a 23.5% first-read share. Moore is an interesting flex this week. Since Week 7, the Rams have allowed the seventh-highest PPR points per target to slot receivers. Moore leads the team with four end zone targets against single-high. Week 13 Positional Value: Dart throw flex with upside
|
|
88.
Juwan Johnson
TE - NO (vs . DET)
Last week, with the Saints' depth chart depleted of receiving options, New Orleans turned to Johnson. He had an 85% route run rate, an 18.4% target share, 1.32 YPRR, and a 20% first-read share. These are all TE1 usage numbers. Johnson was already seeing more work with five red zone targets over the last four games he played. Johnson is a plug-and-play TE1 this week against a Detroit defense that has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and yards per reception to tight ends. Detroit is also tied for the most receiving touchdowns per game given up to the position. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
89.
Pat Freiermuth
TE - PIT (vs . ARI)
Last week, Freiermuth crushed with a 62.2% route run rate, 33.3% target share, 36.6% air-yard share, 5.22 YPRR, and a 37.9% first-read share. Since Week 8, Arizona has had the second-highest rate of two high (63.9%). It is an incredibly small sample size, but over the last two weeks against two high, Freiermuth has a 29.2% target share, a 47.1% air-yard share, 5.71 YPRR, and a 31.8% first-read share. If you expand the sample against two-high to include every game he has been active this season, Freiermuth's numbers against two-high still pop with a 16.1% target share, a 24.1% air-yard share, 1.94 YPRR, and a 24.6% first-read share. Freiermuth has returned to the TE1 good graces. Week 13 Positional Value: TE1
|
|
90.
Samaje Perine
RB - DEN (at HOU)
Perine has played less than 30% of the snaps in three of his last five games, averaging 5.6 touches and 47.6 total yards. Perine is the RB41 with only two red zone touches in his last six games. With a tough matchup on deck, Perine is a must-sit. Since Week 7, Houston has allowed the 12th-lowest explosive run rate and the fifth-lowest yards after contact per attempt while also flaunting the highest stuff rate. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
91.
Tyler Boyd
WR - CIN (at JAC)
Last week, Boyd had a 19.2% target share, an 18.3% air-yard share, 1.10 YPRR, and a 25% first-read share. He finished with three receptions and 23 scoreless yards. Boyd is droppable. Browning will have enough issues supporting one fantasy viable wide receiver, much less multiple ones. Week 13 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
92.
Justin Watson
WR - KC (at GB)
|
|
93.
Antonio Gibson
RB - WAS (vs . MIA)
Gibson has averaged 6.3 touches and 40.3 total yards this season. He only sees empty calorie touches weekly as the RB42 in fantasy. Gibson has only seven red zone touches all season and none since Week 7. Gibson isn't worth burning a roster spot on at this point. Week 13 Positional Value: Droppable
|
|
94.
Jonathan Mingo
WR - CAR (at TB)
|
|
95.
Jameson Williams
WR - DET (at NO)
Over the last two weeks, Williams has had a 61.4% route run rate, but he has only been able to turn that into a 7.6% target share, a 25.0% air-yard share, 1.76 YPRR, and a 9.4% first-read share. Since Week 7, the Saints have allowed the fourth-lowest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers. Sit Williams. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
96.
Logan Thomas
TE - WAS (vs . MIA)
Thoma is the TE14 in fantasy points per game with the sixth-most deep targets and the 12th-most red zone looks. He has four weeks with TE1 weekly finishes (TE11, TE10, TE4, TE9). Thomas has a 13.6% target share, 1.17 YPRR, and a 13.8% first-read share. Thomas could get a volume bump this week, considering the matchup. Miami has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game and the ninth-most receiving yards per game to tight ends. Week 13 Positional Value: Borderline TE1
|
|
97.
Kyle Pitts
TE - ATL (at NYJ)
Pitts is the TE19 in fantasy points per game with zero red zone targets since Week 6. Pitts has surpassed 50 receiving yards only once in his last six games. We've reached the point (actually surpassed it) that Pitts is droppable. Until someone else is calling plays in Atlanta, the dream for Pitts to dominate is dead. Pitts hasn't seen more than five targets in a game since Week 7. New York has smothered tight ends, allowing the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game and the 12th-lowest yards per reception to the position. Week 13 Positional Value: TE2
|
|
98.
Tutu Atwell
WR - LAR (vs . CLE)
Since Week 7, Cleveland has trotted out single high at the highest rate (69.1%) in the NFL. This season, against single-high Atwell, it has had an 18.1% target share, 1.29 YPRR, and a 19.5% first read share. Stafford has had trouble supporting one receiving option in the offense over the last few weeks, much less the fourth or fifth option in the offense like Atwell. Atwell should have been dropped weeks ago. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit
|
|
99.
Royce Freeman
RB - LAR (vs . CLE)
Royce Freeman is a volatile flex play this week that could pay off. Last week, Freeman had 13 carries for 77 rushing yards and a score while playing 34% of the snaps. Williams played 77% of the snaps in the first half, so Freeman's usage could have looked different if the Cardinals could have kept it closer. The same type of runaway Rams win could play out this week. If it does, Freeman could see 10-15 carries in a fantastic rushing matchup. Among 55 qualifying backs, Freeman ranks 20th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 15th in yards after contact per attempt. Since Week 7, Cleveland has allowed the highest explosive run rate, the ninth-highest missed tackles per attempt, and the third-highest yards after contact per attempt. Week 13 Positional Value: Dice roll flex play

Since his return, Jones has had a 64.4% route run rate, a 10% target share, an 11.8% air-yard share, 0.64 YPRR, and a 12.3% first-read share. It's worth questioning how healthy he truly is. Jones is not a must-hold. Week 13 Positional Value: Droppable

Since Week 11, Reynolds has had a 69.3% route run rate, a 6.3% target share, a 7.4% air-yard share, 0.43 YPRR, and a 5.7% first-read share. Reynolds is droppable. Week 13 Positional Value: Droppable

106.
Cade Otton
TE - TB (vs . CAR)
Among 37 qualifying tight ends, Otton ranks 20th in target share (13.1%), 31st in YPRR (1.01), and 24th in first-read share (13.2%). Otton is the TE16 in fantasy, ranking tenth among tight ends in red zone targets. Otton has been a TE2 streaming option all season when the matchup has been right. That is not this week. Carolina has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game and the fifth-fewest receiving yards per game to tight ends. Week 13 Positional Value: TE2

Marvin Mims Jr.
WR - DEN (at HOU)

108.
Robert Woods
WR - HOU (vs . DEN)
In the five games, Woods has played with Dell and Collins as full-gos, he has had an 18.2% target share, a 24.6% air-yard share, 1.83 YPRR, and a 19.4% first-read share against single-high. Since Week 7, Denver has utilized single-high on 56.8% of their defensive snaps. In those five games, Woods only once cleared 45 yards receiving. If Noah Brown is back this week, Woods is the candidate to see his snaps cut. I don't see Houston taking Collins or Dell off the field for Brown. Sit Woods. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit

Jeff Wilson Jr.
RB - MIA (at WAS)
Last week, Wilson had his most substantial workload this season with 33% of the snaps, 14 touches, and 73 total yards. His 6% missed tackles forced per attempt is an abysmal rate, but his 3.06 yards after contact per attempt is quite strong. With only 18 carries this season, his numbers are likely just due to small sample variance. I'll update his outlook and this backfield on Friday. If Mostert and Achane can't go, Wilson would be the team's belllcow.

Tucker Kraft
TE - GB (vs . KC)
Last week, Kraft had an 82% route run rate, a 6.3% target share, and a 4.3% first-read share. Both of his targets came inside the red zone last week. He spiked a touchdown to save his day and finish as the TE11 in fantasy. This is not the week to consider streaming him. Kansas City has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game and receiving yards per game to tight ends this season. Week 13 Positional Value: TE2

Since Week 7, New England has utilized man coverage at the highest rate in the NFL (46.4%). Since Week 4 against man, Johnston has had a 10.5% target share, a 14.7% air-yard share, 1.21 YPRR, and a 15.1% first-read share. Johnston is droppable at this point. Week 13 Positional Value: Droppable

Jonnu Smith
TE - ATL (at NYJ)
Smith is in the same boat as Pitts. He is the TE18 in fantasy points per game. Smith has only one red zone target over his last four games. He has surpassed 40 receiving yards in only one game since Week 6. Smith will likely have more streaming-worthy weeks this season, but this isn't one of them. New York has blanketed tight ends, allowing the eighth-fewest receiving yards per game and the 12th-lowest yards per reception to the position. Week 13 Positional Value: TE2

Kalif Raymond
WR - DET (at NO)

Kenneth Gainwell
RB - PHI (vs . SF)
Gainwell is only a handcuff at this stage. Over the last four weeks, he has played only 30-37% of the snaps, averaging 4.3 touches and 22.6 total yards. Stash him if you have Swift. Week 13 Positional Value: Handcuff
|
|
129.
Tyler Higbee
TE - LAR (vs . CLE)
I refuse to get sucked into recency bias and recommend Higbee as a target after his two-touchdown performance last week. Prior to Week 12, Higbee finished with more than 25 receiving yards only once since Week 5. He has seen more than three targets only once since Week 4. Cleveland is the worst matchup for tight ends. They have allowed the lowest fantasy points per game and the fewest receiving yards per game to the position. Week 13 Positional Value: Sit

Dallas Goedert
TE - PHI (vs . SF)
Goedert has been listed as doubtful. Even if Goedert returns this week, the matchup isn't great for him. Since Week 7, the 49ers have utilized single-high on 57.5% of their defensive snaps, but last week, it climbed to 62.9% with Talanoa Hufanga out for the season. In Weeks 1-9, against single-high, Godert saw strong usage with an 18.1% target share, 1.41 YPRR, and a 21.1% first-read share. The issue is that the 49ers have been good at defending tight ends, allowing the sixth-lowest fantasy points per game, the lowest yards per reception, and the second-fewest receiving touchdowns per game. We'll see if he can give it a go this week, but even if he suits up, Goedert is only a low-end TE1 this week. Week 13 Positional Value: Low-end TE1 (if active)
