Week 13 Fantasy Football Projections: Top 100 Players and PPR Predictions
- Updated: November 29, 2016
Week 13 represents do-or-die time for most fantasy football leagues, so make sure you put together the best lineup possible.
You won’t be able to utilize the red-hot Tennessee Titans or pick on the ice-cold Cleveland Browns, but otherwise it will be a busy week with 30 teams in action. With relatively few injuries to deal with, you should have as many options as you have in a long time.
This leaves a lot of room for error, but you don’t want to be left with any regret after leaving a top scorer on the bench. Hopefully, these rankings will be enough to lead your team to victory.
Quarterbacks
Tom Brady has slowed a bit since his hot start, but he is still the most consistent quarterback in the league, even with question marks about his tight ends.
Drew Brees isn’t too far behind, though, especially after throwing four touchdown passes and 310 yards against the Los Angeles Rams.

This was the seventh time in 11 games Brees has thrown at least three touchdowns. Even with the Detroit Lions improving defensively, the New Orleans Saints star should light up the stat sheet.
Meanwhile, Colin Kaepernick also continues to move up the rankings after his best performance of the season. The dual-threat star totaled 296 passing yards and three touchdowns to go with 113 rushing yards.
Bleacher Report’s Doug Farrar believed it was a throwback to Kaepernick’s breakout season:
Man. Heartbreaking loss for the 49ers. Kaepernick played his ass off. Looked like 2012 all over again.

Regardless of what you think about him personally, the talented quarterback continues to be productive with his arm and legs, averaging 23.8 fantasy points per game in standard leagues in the last four weeks. If he is available, you need to pick him up now and start him.
Matt Ryan and Matthew Stafford have been quiet from a fantasy perspective over the past few weeks, but favorable matchups (against the Kansas City Chief and New Orleans Saints, respectively) could allow them to once again put up big points in Week 13.
Running Backs
Ezekiel Elliott has had an outstanding rookie season, but David Johnson has been the best offensive player in football.
The running back actually had a quiet day on the ground in Week 12, finishing with 58 rushing yards on 13 carries. However, he added eight catches for 103 yards and a receiving touchdown.
Matt Berry of ESPN noted how good Johnson has been through the air in recent weeks:
10+ points for David Johnson … as a receiver alone … for the 3rd consecutive game.
