NFL Week 13 Daily Fantasy Preview: The Perfect Sunday Lineup
Welcome to the Daily Fantasy Preview. This week we’re changing things up and giving you my perfect DFS lineup for the upcoming week of NFL action! If you’re a competitive DFS player or want a leg up on the weekend’s betting action, this is the place for you! Let’s dive into the Week 13 slate.
Note: All fantasy statistics mentioned in this article are based on Draft Kings salaries and player and team rankings. The value options mentioned should be viable on most DFS platforms and sportsbooks.
QUARTERBACK
Brock Purdy | San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles | $6,100
Purdy has been lights out for the Niners and for fantasy and now he draws one of the more generous pass defenses in the league vs. opposing QBs. It’s a great matchup for the 2nd year QB in one of the biggest games of the year.
RUNNING BACKS
Brian Robinson | Atlanta Falcons @ New York Jets | $6,700
Bijan is getting his touches now for an offense that desperately needs his playmaking ability. He’s due for a few big plays, and he gets a Jets defense that can be had on the ground. At this price, he’s a good value for a top tier RB.
Najee Harris | Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardinals | $5,200
Harris has been playing really well and running efficiently for the Steelers with 15 or more PPR points in 4 of his last 6 outings. He’s also been finding the End Zone with regularity and is the feature goal-line back for Pittsburgh. The Cardinals are one of the worst rush defenses in the league. Harris is a solid play.
WIDE RECEIVERS
Keenan Allen | Los Angeles Chargers @ New England Patriots | $9,000
Allen is about all Justin Herbert can rely on in this passing game, and his volume makes him a seriously high-floor, high-ceiling WR for fantasy. I loved being able to get him into this lineup against a NE pass defense that has been susceptible to big plays, despite holding scoring down on most occasions. Look for another high output day from Allen.
Deebo Samuel | San Francisco 49ers @ Philadelphia Eagles | $6,200
Deebo’s been talking a lot of smack this week, and he’s been on a little bit of a roll since returning from injury, as have the 49ers. I like him to earn a lot of work against this porous Eagles secondary. With the way he’s been playing, this is a great value for him as well.
George Pickens | Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Arizona Cardinals | $4,800
If any big play WR is due for a big day, it’s Pickens. With the Steelers offense looking to build off it’s most impressive statistical performance of the year post Matt Canada, Pickens could be a major beneficiary against a woeful Cardinals defense. He’s a boom or bust play, but it’s worth the rist at this price.
TIGHT END
David Njoku | Cleveland Browns @ LA Rams | $4,100
Njoku might be dealing with yet another QB on Sunday, but if it is indeed Joe Flacco, look for the Browns TE to earn a bevy of targets in an offense that will keep things simple against a defense that has struggled to contain TEs all year as well.
FLEX
Zach Moss | Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans | $4,600
Jump on this value quick before the price goes up, because Zach Moss was absolutely on fire in Jonathan Taylor’s absence to start the season. With Taylor set to miss several weeks, it’s Moss time again, and his Salary Cap hit will nearly double next week if he produces to the level he did early in the year.
D/ST
Indianapolis Colts @ Tennessee Titans | $3,200
Riding with the Colts defense as well against the Titans and rookie QB Will Levis. The Colts have been scoring extremely well as a fantasy defense 26, 16, and 11 points in their last three contests respectively. It’s a great matchup for a hot unit.
