Fantasy Football Player Notes
Week 13 Rankings
|
1.
Christian McCaffrey
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

2.
Travis Etienne Jr.
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.
Alvin Kamara
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
|
|
4.
Tony Pollard
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
|
|
5.
Zack Moss
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
|
|
6.
Isiah Pacheco
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
|
|
7.
Derrick Henry
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.
Kyren Williams
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
|
|
9.
Austin Ekeler
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
|
|
10.
Rachaad White
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
|
|
11.
Bijan Robinson
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.
Jahmyr Gibbs
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
|
|
13.
Rhamondre Stevenson
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
|
|
14.
Raheem Mostert
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.
|
|
15.
Breece Hall
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
|
|
16.
Javonte Williams
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
|
|
17.
David Montgomery
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
|
|
18.
Jaylen Warren
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
|
|
19.
Najee Harris
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
|
|
20.
Brian Robinson Jr.
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
|
|
21.
Zach Charbonnet
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
|
|
22.
Jerome Ford
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
|
|
23.
D'Andre Swift
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
|
|
24.
De'Von Achane
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.
|
|
25.
Devin Singletary
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
|
|
26.
AJ Dillon
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)
|
|
27.
James Conner
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
|
|
28.
Joe Mixon
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
|
|
29.
Chuba Hubbard
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
|
|
30.
Tyler Allgeier
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
|
|
31.
Kareem Hunt
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
|
|
32.
Ezekiel Elliott
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
|
|
33.
Miles Sanders
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
|
|
34.
Dameon Pierce
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
|
|
35.
Tyjae Spears
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
|
|
36.
Rico Dowdle
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
|
|
37.
Samaje Perine
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
|
|
38.
Antonio Gibson
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
|
|
39.
Royce Freeman
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
|

40.
Jamaal Williams
NO (vs . DET)
|
|
41.
D'Ernest Johnson
JAC (vs . CIN)
|
|
42.
Kenneth Gainwell
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
|
|
43.
Joshua Kelley
LAC (at NE)
|
|
44.
Dalvin Cook
NYJ (vs . ATL)
|
|
45.
Jeff Wilson Jr.
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.
