QB: Start 'Em
1. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
Mahomes is back, baby! After a brief absence due to injury, the reigning Super Bowl MVP is set to return under center for the Chiefs. Facing a Denver Broncos defense that's been generous to QBs this season, Mahomes is a must-start in Week 13.
2. Ryan Tannehill, Tennessee Titans
Tannehill has been on fire since taking over the starting job in Tennessee, and he's not slowing down anytime soon. With a juicy matchup against the Cleveland Browns' porous pass defense on the horizon, Tannehill is a fantastic streaming option this week.
RB: Start 'Em
1. Derrick Henry, Tennessee Titans
Speaking of the Titans, Henry has been an absolute beast this season, rushing for over 1,000 yards and scoring 12 TDs so far. With the Browns' run defense struggling, Henry is in line for another big game in Week 13.
2. Nick Chubb, Cleveland Browns
In a revenge game against the Titans, Chubb is poised for a big day. The Titans' run defense has been susceptible to big plays, and Chubb's explosive ability makes him a strong start this week.
WR: Start 'Em
1. Tyreek Hill, Kansas City Chiefs
With Mahomes back under center, Hill is sure to benefit. The speedster has a dream matchup against the Broncos' banged-up secondary, making him a must-start in Week 13.
2. Stefon Diggs, Buffalo Bills
Diggs has been a revelation in Buffalo, and he's become Josh Allen's favorite target. With a favorable matchup against the San Francisco 49ers on tap, Diggs is a solid WR1 option this week.
TE: Start 'Em
1. Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Kelce is the undisputed top TE in fantasy football, and with Mahomes back, his value skyrockets. The Broncos have struggled to cover TEs all season, making Kelce a no-brainer start in Week 13.
2. T.J. Hockenson, Detroit Lions
Hockenson has been a revelation in Detroit, and he's become Matthew Stafford's go-to guy in the red zone. With a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears, Hockenson is a strong TE1 play this week.
QB: Sit 'Em
1. Daniel Jones, New York Giants
Jones has been a turnover machine this season, and his matchup against the Seattle Seahawks' stout pass rush doesn't inspire confidence. Leave Jones on your bench in Week 13.
2. Baker Mayfield, Cleveland Browns
Mayfield has been inconsistent at best this season, and his matchup against the Titans' fierce pass rush is unlikely to help matters. There are better streaming options available this week.
RB: Sit 'Em
1. James Conner, Pittsburgh Steelers
Conner has been a massive disappointment this season, and his matchup against the Baltimore Ravens' elite run defense is unlikely to change that. Keep Conner glued to your bench in Week 13.
2. Kenyan Drake, Arizona Cardinals
Drake has been a major bust since joining the Cardinals, and his matchup against the Los Angeles Rams' stout run defense is unlikely to help matters. There are better RB2 options available this week.
WR: Sit 'Em
1. Allen Lazard, Green Bay Packers
Lazard has been a popular waiver wire add in recent weeks, but his matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles' talented secondary is unlikely to result in a big game. Keep Lazard on your bench in Week 13.
2. Brandon Aiyuk, San Francisco 49ers
Aiyuk has been a major disappointment since taking over as the 49ers' WR1, and his matchup against the Bills' elite pass defense is unlikely to change that. There are better WR3 options available this week.
TE: Sit 'Em
1. Mark Andrews, Baltimore Ravens
Andrews has been a major disappointment this season, and his matchup against the Steelers' elite defense is unlikely to help matters. Andrews is a risky TE1 play in Week 13.
2. Robert Tonyan, Green Bay Packers
Tonyan has been a popular waiver wire add in recent weeks, but his matchup against the Eagles' talented defense is unlikely to result in a big game. There are better streaming options available at TE this week.
And there you have it, folks! Our comprehensive start 'em, sit 'em guide for Week 13. We hope this helps you make the right decisions and secure that elusive fantasy football W. Good luck, and happy Thanksgiving!
