Fantasy Football Week 13 Rankings: Each Positions’ Flex and PPR Projections
- Updated: December 3, 2016
There are some notable differences when it comes to setting standard and PPR fantasy lineups. What is the same for both formats is that Week 13 means the fantasy postseason is either here or right around the corner.
With the week already underway, you may be scrambling to adjust and set the ideal lineup in time to make an impact. Well, we’re here to help with our Week 13 flex and PPR positional rankings.
We’ll be breaking down the best players at each position and ranking them based on our projections for both standard and PPR formats. We will also examine some risers and fallers for each.
All rankings are based on factors like past performances, projected roles, player and team health and matchups.
Good luck!
Quarterbacks
Up: Matt Ryan, Atlanta Falcons
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has a relatively tough matchup this week against the Kansas City Chiefs—who are rated eighth in pass coverage by Pro Football Focus. Here’s the thing, though. Ryan doesn’t care about your matchups.
Last week, Ryan went up against an Arizona Cardinals defense that is rated second overall by Pro Football Focus. He finished with a respectable 269 yards passing with two touchdowns and an interception. The Falcons rolled to a 38-19 blowout victory.
For the season, Ryan already has more than 3,500 yards passing with 26 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Expect his strong campaign to continue in Week 13, despite a quality defense on the docket.
Down: Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals
Do you remember when the Cincinnati Bengals were a perennial playoff team and quarterback Andy Dalton was playing like he might be the next elite quarterback? Yeah, that was only a year ago, but in the fantasy world, it has been (and should be) long forgotten.
Dalton has been just average this season, and that’s being polite. He has passed for more than 3,000 yards, but he has just 12 touchdowns to go with nine turnovers. It doesn’t help Dalton’s up-and-down nature that the Bengals are now playing without A.J. Green and Giovani Bernard.
“‘Aloha’ means both ‘hello’ and “good-bye,” and Dalton means both good and bad,” Kevin Clark of The Ringer recently wrote.
Expect a healthy dose of bad Dalton this week against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are rated third in pass rush by Pro Football Focus.
