The Week 13 fantasy football rankings can help owners answer many difficult questions. Should you go with a more proven option like Saints running back Alvin Kamara against a strong Detroit Lions defensive front? Or do you roll the dice with a lower-possession, high-reward option like Rams TE Tyler Higbee, who hauled in two touchdown receptions against the Cardinals last week? Can a player like Rams WR Cooper Kupp, who has failed to surpass 50 receiving yards in his last five games, be safely relied upon on the Week 13 fantasy football lineup?
These are the types of questions owners need to answer before setting their Week 13 fantasy football picks. The owners know that a win this week could determine whether their team makes the playoffs or goes home empty-handed. Before you decide on any fantasy football picks, be sure to check out the trusted computer model’s Week 13 fantasy football rankings at SportsLine.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine’s model has outperformed human fantasy football experts in recent seasons, particularly when there have been large differences in rankings. Over the course of a season, this can literally be the difference between winning the league and going home empty-handed.
Now the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has released its fantasy football rankings for Week 13 of the 2023 NFL season. Head over to SportsLine now to see the Week 13 fantasy football rankings.
The best fantasy football picks of Week 13
One player the model is putting a lot of emphasis on this week: Rams running back Kyren Williams. Williams (ankle) returned from a four-game absence with a spectacular performance against the Cardinals. Williams rushed 16 times for 143 yards and caught all six targets for 61 yards and two touchdowns in the Rams’ 37-14 victory over Arizona.
Williams’ workload has been ideal for fantasy owners, as he has had 16 or more carries in three of his last four games. On Sunday, Williams and the Rams will face the Cleveland Browns, who gave up two rushing touchdowns to the Denver Broncos last week. Williams’ effort and productivity are a big reason the model ranks him among the top five running backs this week, making him a rock-solid option for your Week 13 fantasy football lineups.
Another huge shock: Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray, the former No. 1 overall pick and two-time Pro Bowler, is stumbling badly and barely making the top 20 at his position. After suffering a torn ACL late last season, Murray returned to action three weeks ago and has thrown for 719 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in three weeks. He has added a rushing touchdown to his fantasy owners in all three games he has played.
However, he only carried the ball once for his two-yard touchdown last week and averaged just 5.7 yards per pass attempt in a blowout loss to the Rams. Now he faces an opportunistic Steelers defense that has forced 20 turnovers in the first 11 games of the season. TJ Watt is tied for the league lead with 13.5 sacks this year and Pittsburgh has forced 14 fumbles while also throwing 12 interceptions this season.
