Fantasy plays: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 13

The mega bye week is back.

Hopefully you didn’t get too comfortable having all 32 teams in action, because are six teams are off this week. That includes the Bills, Bears, Raiders, Vikings, Giants and Ravens.

Aside from New York (hang in there, Saquon Barkley), all of those teams have multiple players we’d typically lock into starting lineups.

Woof.

But don’t sweat. There are plenty of names to fill out those fantasy lineups as we hit the home stretch. You just have to know where to look.

That’s where this piece comes in.

Every week I list out every fantasy-relevant player, sorted by position and bucketed into tiers with the higher-tiered players deemed more start-worthy. For specific start/sit advice between two players in the same tier, refer to numberFire ’s projection model.

These tiers are meant to reflect your typical 12-team, half-PPR scoring formats with only one starting quarterback — though the general rankings can be loosely applied to most formats.

Any player not listed can be assumed sit-worthy in most leagues.
