RB PPR Fantasy Leaderboard Week 13: Who to start, where to sit to run again in fantasy football

Fantasy football owners may not have some of the top passing defenders this week, as Christian McCaffrey and Kareem Hunt are saying goodbye and both Alvin Kamara (knee) and D’Andre Swift (shoulder) are in deal with trauma. The show has to go one way or another, and our fantasy RB PPR Week 13 leaderboard is here to help you make the tough starting decision.

In addition to McCaffrey and Hunt, Nick Chubb, Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon and Dontrell Hilliard/D’onta Foreman also said their goodbyes. That leaves some top defenders out, and could be even more lacking depending on who is absent through injury. We know Kamara and Swift will “have problems,” but Dalvin Cook (shoulder), Ezekiel Elliott (knee), Jordan Howard (knee) and Mark Ingram (knee) will also require fantasy owners. see practice report.

WEEK 13 PPR RANKING:
Midfielder | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker

Fortunately, some teams make good use of at least two defenders who have a very favorable position. The Lions (vs Vikings), Eagles (@Jets), Bengals (vs Chargers), 49ers (@Seahawks) and Washington (@Raiders) all have the top 5 for RB, so Boston Scott, Samaje Perine, Jeff Wilson Jr., JD McKissic, and Jamaal Williams or Godwin Igwebuike can play as flex. Most of those players, with the exception of Wilson Jr., are generally more valuable in PPR tournaments.

WEEK 13 STANDARD RANKING:
Midfielder | Run back | Wide receiver | Tight ending | VND / ST | Kicker

When it comes to PPR-specific sleepers, the Bengals (@ Chargers), Buccaneers (@ Falcons), Eagles (versus Jets), Patriots (@ Bills), Falcons (versus Buccaneers), Cardinals (@ Bears), Chiefs ( vs Broncos) and Giants (@Dolphins) have both entered Week 12 allowing for at least 6.5 RB per game (as well as the Jets and Seahawks, who we mentioned). Of those teams’ opponents, only Ty Johnson (@Eagles) and possibly Devin Singletary/Matt Breida (vs Patriots) stand out as frontiersmen who are likely to have some extra value in the mix. PPR tournaments, but Singletary and Breida still have fairly low ceilings. .

Buffalo’s backbenchers aren’t the only ones with lousy games this week. Houston duo David Johnson and Rex Burkhead (vs. Colts) are also good picks despite being adept catchers. Alex Collins (vs 49ers) and Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson (@Bills) are also in difficult positions, leaving them merely bending their backs.

For the most part, this is one of those weeks where squad selections are made for you. There are some people who are obviously drowsy often in that initial state, which helps, and there are some obvious “positions” where you want to be benched most of the week. It’s quite possible – even likely – that more injuries/illnesses will wreak havoc on these charts before next Sunday, but we’ll be watching the practice reports and making adjustments if need.

Note: We’ll be updating this RB PPR leaderboard throughout the week, so check back for the latest player analysis and movements.
