Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is poised to continue his strong second half of the season in Week 13. The Seahawks travel to New York to battle the dejected New York Jets. The Jets' passing defense started strong in 2024. However, since they fired head coach Robert Saleh after five games, the defense has not been nearly as dominant. They still have enough talent to stifle opposing passing offenses, but Smith-Njigba is too key of a piece for the Seahawks to be slowed down right now. He has consistently led the team in targets over the last few weeks, and he has scored a touchdown in two of his last three games. Smith-Njigba has not finished lower than WR13 in a given week over that same span. He is clearly a go-to target for quarterback Geno Smith at this point in the season. Additionally, with DK Metcalf (shoulder) and Tyler Lockett (knee) banged up, Smith-Njigba figures to be that much more important to this offense in Week 13.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith checks in as a QB2 in Seattle's Week 13 matchup with the New York Jets. The Jets have not been as dominant at stopping the pass in recent weeks. Additionally, their offense does not project to force Seattle to take to the air repeatedly. The Seahawks have also toned down their passing volume over the last several weeks. Smith threw at least 44 passes in four of the team's first six games. However, he has not exceeded 34 attempts since Week 6. The Seahawks should be in a neutral to positive game script for most of this one and are likely to try and establish the run and stick to it on a frigid New York day. The Jets are No. 15 against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy. As such, if Smith does have to take to the air, this is not the most frightening matchup. Even so, with no teams on a bye this week, you can likely do much better than Smith. Leave him on your bench in Week 13.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has a chance to deliver big numbers for the Seahawks in Week 13. The Jets have been solid against opposing running backs in fantasy throughout the season. However, they have struggled to contain quality backs this season such as Najee Harris, James Conner, and Joe Mixon. Walker has been held in check of late, but Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald remains committed to establishing the run for this team. Walker also continues to be an excellent pass catcher this season. His 36 receptions for 274 yards are both career highs and the Seahawks still have six games to go this season. Whether the Seahawks are ahead or behind in this game, Walker will be heavily involved. This game will be in the mid-30s with a breeze. It would behoove the Seahawks to try and stick to the run as a result. Walker should be started with confidence this week. He is due for a massive breakaway run as well.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has had 15 targets and 11 catches over the last two weeks with Anthony Richardson under center, which is particularly impressive given Richardson's 53.4% completion rate during that time. Josh Downs had been the clear leader at the receiver position until two weeks ago, but now has eight catches on 12 targets over the last two weeks. Downs was injured last week and will not play Sunday, so Pittman will have even less competition for looks. The 27-year-old, who practiced in full all week, will face a Patriots pass defense that has yielded three 100-yard receivers in the last two games and has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to the WR position this season. Despite the setup, with Richardson not throwing many TD passes (five through seven full games) and winds that will make it feel close to freezing in Foxboro, the fifth-year pro looks like a WR3 on Sunday.

The Minnesota Vikings defense/special teams will again be a strong play this weekend when they line up against the Arizona Cardinals. The Vikings' defense has been one of the best units all season, racking up 22 turnovers (second most) and limiting opponents to 3.6 yards per carry and an average of 74.73 yards on the ground per contest -; the fewest in the league. Quarterback Kyler Murray has been careful with the football this season, but Arizona is averaging just 22.2 points per game -; tied for the sixteenth-most in the league. Even with the dynamic Murray on the other side of the ball, fantasy gamers should have no qualms about firing up Minnesota's D/ST. They rank as RotoBaller's D/ST8 in this week's ranks.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Tank Bigsby (ankle) practiced in full all week and was removed from Friday's Week 13 injury report. Coming out of the bye week, Bigsby will be active for the Jags this Sunday against the division-rival Houston Texans. The 23-year-old missed the Week 11 loss to the Detroit Lions but will be able to return after resting his ankle during the Week 12 bye. In addition to getting Bigsby back, the Jaguars offense is also expected to have quarterback Trevor Lawrence back, which will be a big upgrade for all of Jacksonville's offensive skill players, including Bigsby. Averaging a healthy 5.5 yards per carry on his 95 rushing attempts through 10 games this year, Bigsby has been more efficient than backfield mate Travis Etienne Jr. However, he will continue to share valuable touches with Etienne and pass-catching back D'Ernest Johnson, making him more of a RB3/flex play in fantasy.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson could again be in store for a productive day this weekend when his team hosts the visiting Arizona Cardinals. The 27-year-old now has two excellent and two subpar outings in his first stretch back from a devastating knee injury. Hockenson has combined for 15 receptions and 186 yards on 18 targets in the former. However, he has just five receptions and 40 yards in the other two. The one clear difference between his appearance against the Bears in Week 12 and the other three is his snap share, which skyrocketed to 68% after hovering around 46% previously. This was due to teammate Josh Oliver (hand) being ruled out for the contest, but that will again be the case this Sunday when he lines up against the Cardinals. With increasing involvement in the offense, he can again be trusted as a top fantasy option at his position. He's RotoBaller's PPR TE6 for this week's slate of games.

New York Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley (neck) is listed as questionable for the Week 13 contest against the visiting Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, but he does not expect to play. Mosley practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday but apparently suffered a setback on Friday and was limited. In addition to Mosley, safety Chuck Clark (shin) in questionable to face the Seahawks, while offensive lineman Tyron Smith (neck) has been ruled out. The 32-year-old Mosley has missed the team's last four games and is on track to miss a fifth straight this Sunday. If the Jets activate offensive guard Xavier Newman (concussion) from Injured Reserve, they could place Smith on IR in a corresponding move before Sunday's game. The Jets defense/special teams has been a disappointment for fantasy managers this year and should be avoided this weekend against Seattle.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings kicker John Parker Romo could be in store for another strong performance this Sunday when his team takes on the Arizona Cardinals. The second-year player has been excellent through three games while he fills in for teammate Will Reichard (quad) -; drilling all eight of his field goal attempts and missing just one of six extra-point tries. Romo was last weekend's hero, connecting on a game-winning kick in OT to fell the Bears 30-27. He again might have a viable outing against a Cardinals team that has been difficult to score on in recent weeks but has allowed a good bit of yardage throughout the season. Even in a tough matchup, the Vikings' offense should be able to move the rock effectively -; paving the way to a solid day for the 27-year-old. He's RotoBaller's K12 in this week's rankings.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has found the end zone in each of the past two games and should continue to be viewed as a low-end TE1 in all formats facing the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. After seeing just one target in Week 9, Ertz has seen at least seven targets in his past three straight contests. During this span, Ertz has averaged 13.2 PPR points per game with 38.7 yards per game. Since Week 6, Ertz has scored double-digit PPR points in five of the past seven games. Despite the Titans allowing the eighth-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season, fantasy managers should feel confident starting Ertz in most standard formats, given his reliable target share.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor is not a recommended option in Week 13 when his team faces off against the Arizona Cardinals. The third-year wideout got back in the end zone in Minnesota's OT victory over the Chicago Bears -; his fifth score of the season. However, Nailor has not hauled in more than one pass or garnered greater than four targets but once since Week 8. While two of his five catches in that span found pay dirt, he's combined for 39 yards over the last five games. The 25-year-old has flashed upside at points during the year, but as no better than the fourth option on his team in the pecking order, he'll be difficult to trust as a lineup fixture. Nailor is RotoBaller's PPR WR87 in this week's rankings.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez is worth a look as a streaming option in deeper formats in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans. No.1 kicker Austin Seibert (groin) was placed on the injured reserve earlier this week, making Gonzalez the starting option for the foreseeable future. Gonzalez received two starting nods earlier this season and went 3-for-3 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points. Despite struggling in Philadelphia, the Washington offense got themselves back on track last weekend against the Dallas Cowboys. Gonzalez should have ample scoring opportunities playing on this offense, but he does come with some inherent risk, given his shaky career 81.0% FG rate.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels should be viewed as a solid QB1 in all formats in Week 13 when he faces the Tennessee Titans. Last weekend, the rookie broke out of a two-game slump, totaling 275 passing and 74 rushing yards with three total scores in their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Daniels scored just one combined score in his previous two games and averaged 196.5 passing yards per game in that span. Throughout his rookie campaign, the LSU standout averaged over 250+ yards per game and tallied 17 total scores. This weekend, he faces the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing QBs, which sets up Daniels for another QB1 showing.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) does not carry an injury designation and will be good to go to face the Titans on Sunday. In addition, No. 2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) was ruled out, which should open the door for even more opportunities for Robinson. Robinson suffered an ankle injury last week during their loss to Dallas and could only see five carries for 13 yards. However, through his previous eight games this season, the Alabama product found the end zone seven times and averaged a solid 14.1 PPR points per game. Despite facing a tough Tennessee rushing defense that has allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, fantasy managers should view Robinson as a high-end RB2 as he should see a workhorse role.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols could be in store for an increased role against the Tennessee Titans with No.2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) ruled out. While both starting running backs, Brian Robinson Jr. and Ekeler, have been active, McNichols has only seen limited opportunities. McNichols only logged seven or more carries in four games this season. However, he has flashed some upside in his limited work, averaging 4.9 yards per carry this season. While fantasy managers should expect Robinson to see the vast majority of attempts against the Titans, McNichols could be worth a look as a desperation flex option in 14+ team formats, given his solid rushing efficiency this season.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin should continue to be viewed as a high-end WR2 despite facing a tough Tennessee Titans secondary that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. Last weekend against the Cowboys, McLaurin tallied 102 yards and a score, which was highlighted by an impressive 86-yard score. Despite catching just one pass in Week 11, McLaurin has averaged a solid 16.6 PPR points in each game since Week 3. Even though Tennessee has shut down opposing wideouts this season, McLaurin should continue to see a hefty target share, making him a safe option with weekly upside.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown continues to see a consistent target share weekly and could be a viable flex option in 3WR formats this weekend when he faces the Tennessee Titans. Last weekend, Brown brought in six of his ten targets for 71 yards. Since Week 8, Brown has averaged 6.6 targets per game but has struggled with his output, as he has only averaged 3.8 receptions per game. During this span, Brown has also tallied 48.2 yards per game. Brown popped up on the injury report on Thursday with a knee injury but was able to log a full practice and does not carry a designation. Despite facing a tough Titans defense that has allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, fantasy managers should expect Brown to continue to see a similar target share, making him a viable flex option in deeper formats.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will square off against the Arizona Cardinals this Sunday in another tough matchup. The 25-year-old has been one of the most consistent receivers in fantasy this season, coming off his only bust game thus far in 2024 (2/27). He'll get a stiff test again this weekend against a Cardinals unit that has mostly held opposing passing attacks in check. Arizona has been stingy on the back end in 2024, but the defense as a whole has given up a decent amount of yardage (340.5 per game). Additionally, Jefferson garners the fourth-highest target share in the NFL (29.8%) and should continue to get a ton of volume even in a less-than-favorable bout. Despite a down week, continue to slot him into your lineup confidently as RotoBaller's PPR WR4 in this week's ranks.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is set for another difficult outing this Sunday when his team hosts the visiting Arizona Cardinals. The USC product is coming off a career day where he racked up eight receptions, 162 yards, and a touchdown on nine targets against a solid Chicago Bears defense. Arizona provides stiff competition on the back end, but Addison's outlook is on the rise after four straight games with an elevated target share. It's worth noting that his production has come at the expense of superstar teammate Justin Jefferson. We've yet to see the duo go off in the same game, though quarterback Sam Darnold did support tight end T.J. Hockenson's valuable outing (7/114) in the Week 12 win. With Darnold and Minnesota's offense back on track, the 22-year-old becomes a more intriguing option, considering the rise in his usage. Addison is RotoBaller's PPR WR41 ahead of Week 13's slate.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 13 against the division-rival Houston Texans on Sunday, but the team is expecting him to return after a two-game absence due to a sprained AC joint in his left (non-throwing) shoulder. Lawrence looked much more comfortable while throwing in Friday's practice despite being listed as limited for the third straight day this week coming out of the bye. If he plays in his first game since Nov. 3, the former first overall pick will have no limitations, according to head coach Doug Pederson. The Jaguars offense had a combined 313 yards and 13 points in losses to the Vikings and Lions with Mac Jones filling in under center in the team's last two games. Lawrence will be a major upgrade for Jacksonville's offense, having completed 61.3% of his passes for 2,004 yards, 11 TDs and six picks in 2024. He'll be on the map as a QB2 in Week 13.
