Week 13 Fantasy Football Rankings and Sleepers: Key Players to Watch

As Week 13 of the NFL season approaches, fantasy football managers are scrutinizing rankings and sleepers to make informed decisions for their lineups. Here are some key players and matchups to consider.

At the running back position, several top-tier players are expected to perform well. Saquon Barkley of the Philadelphia Eagles is projected for 20.8 fantasy points as he faces the Baltimore Ravens, while Alvin Kamara of the New Orleans Saints is anticipated to score 21.6 fantasy points against the Los Angeles Rams. Other notable running backs include Joe Mixon of the Houston Texans and Bijan Robinson of the Atlanta Falcons, who are facing the Jacksonville Jaguars and Los Angeles Chargers, respectively.

In the wide receiver category, Courtland Sutton of the Denver Broncos is gaining attention due to his consistent performance since Russell Wilson took over. Sutton has commanded a significant share of team targets and is expected to have a strong outing against the Cincinnati Bengals. Other must-start wide receivers include Jamar Chase of the Cincinnati Bengals and George Pickens of the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have been dominant in recent games.

For sleepers, Will Levis, the quarterback of the Tennessee Titans, is a promising pick. Since his return in Week 10, Levis has finished as a top 20 fantasy quarterback in all three contests and faces a favorable schedule moving forward. He is ranked as QB24 but has the potential to be a league winner down the stretch.

Gus Edwards of the Los Angeles Chargers is another sleeper to consider. With J.K. Dobbins out due to a sprained knee, Edwards is expected to see a larger role against the Atlanta Falcons. Although the Falcons are a tough matchup for running backs, Edwards’ increased workload makes him a viable option.

At the tight end position, Zach Ertz of the Washington Commanders is having a rejuvenated season. He has finished as a top 10 fantasy tight end four times this season, including the past two games, and faces the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. Despite Tennessee’s strong defense against tight ends, Ertz’s recent volume makes him an appealing play.

For DFS picks, SportsLine‘s model and experts recommend Joe Burrow as the top quarterback and Saquon Barkley as the top running back. The model also suggests Bo Nix of the Denver Broncos as a top-10 quarterback for the week.
