Fantasy football rankings for Week 13: Unlucky bye week puts greater premium on stars

View Date：2025-04-15 18:42:13

Following a football feast this past week, it's time to slim down considerably in Week 13, with six NFL teams on bye: the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and Las Vegas Raiders.

That will make for some difficult lineup decisions in this crucial week of games.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 13 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 13

Baker Mayfield tweaked his ankle on Sunday vs. the Colts, but returned to the game. An MRI on Monday confirmed there was no ligament damage, but he's listed as questionable.
As he did last week, Patriots coach Bill Belichick did reveal on Wednesday who will start at quarterback against the Chargers. Mac Jones was replaced at halftime by Bailey Zappe in Week 12.
Sleeper pick: Kyler Murray has at least 200 passing yards and one rushing touchdown in each of his three games since returning from injured reserve.

Fantasy football running back rankings for Week 13

Jonathan Taylor's thumb surgery will return Zack Moss to the feature back role where he thrived earlier in the season when Taylor was out.
Kenneth Walker did not participate in Tuesday's practice and could miss a second consecutive game with the Seahawks playing Thursday night. Zach Charbonnet (14-47 rushing, 4-11 receiving) would get the bulk of the work again this week.
Sleeper pick: Antonio Gibson played the same number of snaps last week as starter Brian Robinson. He could see even more work, especially in the passing game, with Washington a heavy underdog vs. Miami.

Fantasy football wide receiver rankings for Week 13

Chris Olave is questionable after leaving last week's game with a concussion. The Saints receiving corps is extremely thin already with Michael Thomas (knee) on IR and Rashid Shaheed (thigh) also exiting early on Sunday.
X-rays on Amari Cooper's ribs were negative after he was injured against the Broncos. The Browns still don't know who their quarterback will be this week. However, Cooper's stock would rise if veteran Joe Flacco is elevated off the practice squad to start.
Sleeper pick: Rookie Rashee Rice recorded the first 100-yard game of his career last week and is becoming a more trusted target for QB Patrick Mahomes.

Fantasy football tight end rankings for Week 13

Dallas Goedert hasn't played since suffering a fractured forearm in Week 9, but he's pushing to return to action this week in a key NFC showdown vs. San Francisco.
Pat Freiermuth is a fantastic plug-and-play off the waiver wire following his nine-reception, 120-yard performance in the Steelers' new-look offense.
