NFL Week 13 fantasy picks – Five players to add to your NFL fantasy lineup this Sunday

(The following article contains a paid advertisement by NFL Fantasy Gameday)

As everyone prepares for a feast of Thanksgiving football, attention turns to Sunday’s slimmer slate as we take you through our week 13 fantasy picks.

Our week 12 captain pick proved to be a worthy investment as Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 219 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-27 overtime win against the New York Giants.

Gibbs’ quarterback, Jared Goff, was the quarterback pick in week 12, and the 31-year-old passed for 279 yards and two touchdowns, with just one interception coming up as the only blotch on his record, returning 18.16 fantasy points.

It was a quieter Sunday for our running back pick, TreVeyon Henderson, who scored only 11.1 fantasy points, totalling just 81 yards from scrimmage all game for the New England Patriots.

Henderson’s Patriots teammate Hunter Henry was our tight end pick, and the 30-year-old led all tight ends for points scoring in fantasy last week, tallying 24.5 points thanks to a 115-yard and one touchdown performance against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Finally, our wider receiver pick also garnered a big return, with AJ Brown coming in as the fifth-highest-ranked fantasy receiver in week 12, catching one touchdown and notching up 110 yards in the Philadelphia Eagles’ loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Captain – De’Von Achane – Miami Dolphins vs New Orleans Saints, 9000

With six games taking place outside of the 6 pm and 9:05/25 pm slates in week 13, there is slim pickings for electric offensive talent this week.

The most obvious home run pick of the week comes in an otherwise dismal affair as De’Von Achane promises to shine for the 4-7 Miami Dolphins as they welcome the 2-9 New Orleans Saints.

Achane is the fourth-highest scoring running back in fantasy this season, despite the Dolphins’ offensive woes, coming in behind only Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor and Christian McCaffrey.

The Saints are a middling rush defence, and a legitimate x-factor option like Achane should be able to put up good numbers at home on Sunday.

Quarterback – Cam Ward – Tennessee Titans vs Jacksonville Jaguars, 5000

Week 13 draws most of the NFL’s best fantasy quarterbacks up against strong defensive opposition, hence the slightly left-field pick here.

Cam Ward pieced together the best performance of his rookie season in week 12 against a strong Seattle Seahawks defence, and he won’t face quite as tough a challenge in week 13 against the Jaguars.

The Jaguars are in the top 10 in the NFL for passing yards allowed, and come into the top five for passing touchdowns given up so far this season.

If Ward can build on a promising showing in week 12 and the Jaguars’ defence continues their current performance levels, this could be a sneaky good pickup.

Running back – Travis Etienne Jr. – Jacksonville Jaguars @ Tennessee Titans, 6400

On the other side of Ward’s AFC South matchup with the Jaguars is Jacksonville’s running back Travis Etienne Jr., who will be on the hunt to continue his upward fantasy trajectory.

The Titans are the fifth-worst defence against opposition running backs in fantasy football this year, and Etienne will want to punish that weakness.

Etienne comes into the week as the 12th-ranked running back so far this year, but a big week in Tennessee could see the 26-year-old break into the top 10.

Since the Jaguars’ week eight bye, Etienne Jr. has topped 15 fantasy points every week, with his number steadily progressing up to an appealing 20.6 in week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals, something that will be worth keeping an eye on heading into this matchup.

Wide Receiver – Ladd McConkey – Las Vegas Raiders @ Los Angeles Chargers, 6000

Week 13 is light on the ground for premium wide receiver options, as the top three defences against wideouts in the league are all playing in primetime this week.

Digging a little deeper, one matchup that could yield promising results is Ladd McConkey against a Las Vegas Raiders defence that gives up the 10th-most fantasy points to receivers this season.

McConkey is the Chargers’ leading receiver and always comes up big in AFC West matchups for his team, with week 13 promising to deliver more of the same.

Jim Harbaugh’s side is coming out of their bye week after being humiliated by the Jaguars, so a boiceback game is in order, and we’re placing our trust in McConkey to lead that showing.

Tight End – Dawson Knox – Buffalo Bills @ Pittsburgh Steelers, 2200

Last week’s tight end selection provided the bargain of all our picks, with Henry putting up the leading numbers for his position in fantasy in week 12, and this Dawson Knox matchup could offer similar projections.

Dalton Kincaid didn’t practice during Wednesday’s practice with a hamstring injury, so Knox may be in line for a start against the fourth-worst defence against tight ends in fantasy this season so far.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have given up an average of 10.3 fantasy points to tight ends, and Knox may be the beneficiary of that on Sunday.

Despite being a low-scoring option so far this season, if Kincaid does continue to trend downwards with his injury designation, then it may be worth the risk on Knox.

Fantasy Football picks summary

This week, the picks are:

  • Captain – De’Von Achane
  • QB – Cam Ward
  • RB – Travis Etienne Jr.
  • WR – Ladd McConkey
  • TE – Dawson Knox

NFL Week 12 fantasy picks – Five players to add to your NFL fantasy lineup this Sunday

(The following article contains a paid advertisement by NFL Fantasy Gameday)

After some heavyweight clashes in week 11 of the NFL season, week 12 throws up some more lopsided affairs, which could be a great help to fantasy football players.

Josh Allen led the way in week 11 with his stellar performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as the Buffalo Bills romped to a 44-32 win at Highmark Stadium, with the 29-year-old cancelling out two interceptions with six total touchdowns.

The next best fantasy performer was San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who totalled 121 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns, including one receiving touchdown, with the 29-year-old running back becoming a beneficiary of Brock Purdy’s return to the lineup.

Perhaps the surprise performer of the week was Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker, whose three total touchdowns totalled almost 75 per cent of all of Tampa’s points in their loss at Buffalo.

The other two top performers in last week’s top five were Michael Wilson of the Arizona Cardinals, who tallied a monster 185 receiving yards off 15 receptions, and Carolina Panthers pass catcher Tetairoa McMillan, who caught two touchdowns and totalled 130 yards off eight receptions.

Captain – Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions vs New York Giants, 9000

Jahmyr Gibbs comes in as the third most expensive running back this week, at 9,000, behind only McCaffrey (9600) and Jonathan Taylor (9400), and with Gibbs facing off against the worst rushing defence in the NFL – the New York Giants – it feels like Gibbs will have a big day.

In a season where running backs are lighting up the league, Gibbs is among the leading pack in fantasy football terms, coming into week 12 as the fourth-best fantasy running back.

With the Lions looking to bounce back from their disappointing defeat in Philadelphia on Sunday Night Football, Gibbs will be hoping to put up similar numbers to the 19.6 fantasy points he put up against the Eagles.

The 23-year-old had 12 carries for 39 yards and five receptions for 107 yards off eight targets without finding the endzone, something that seems highly likely against the porous Giants.

Quarterback – Jared Goff, Detroit Lions vs New York Giants, 7200

My ideal pick for the quarterback pick, if you’re a regular fantasy owner, would be Bryce Young for the Carolina Panthers, but Fantasy Gameday picks only count for Sunday’s 6 pm and 9:05/25 pm slates, hence Jared Goff getting the nod here.

The New York Giants give up the second-most points to quarterbacks in fantasy behind only the Dallas Cowboys, and Goff has shown he can put up big numbers against bad defences.

In week 10, Goff tallied three touchdowns and 320 yards against the Washington Commanders’ defence (who rank third in the list behind the Giants), and owners of the 31-year-old will hope he can put up a similar showing against a leaky Giants group.

Running Back – TreVeyon Henderson, New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals, 6200

TreVeyon Henderson is the tied-13th most expensive running back in the game, which looks like a true bargain heading into the New England Patriots’ week 12 matchup.

The Patriots will travel southwest to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals, and this AFC matchup is huge for Henderson owners in fantasy.

The Bengals give up the most fantasy points to opposing running backs of any team in the league, and the rookie from Ohio State will look to make an impact back in the state where he made his name at the college level.

Henderson is coming off a monster game against the New York Jets on Thursday Night Football in week 11, with the 23-year-old totalling three touchdowns and 93 total yards, scoring 32.3 fantasy points in the process.

Things look set to get a lot better for Henderson heading into week 12 off the back of that performance, as the Bengals’ run defence looks set to gift the former Ohio State back a huge day on Sunday.

Wide Receiver – AJ Brown, Philadelphia Eagles @ Dallas Cowboys, 5600

After a slow start to the 2025 NFL season, AJ Brown has come into his own in recent weeks, with the Philadelphia Eagles improving after the trade deadline.

In week 11, Brown only scored 11.9 fantasy points on a tough evening for the Eagles against a strong Lions defensive unit, but coming into their matchup against NFC East rivals, the Dallas Cowboys, Brown could be set for a bigger day.

Against the Lions, Brown led the team in receiving, totalling 49 yards from seven receptions, and with the Cowboys giving up the most points to opposition wide receivers in fantasy this year, it feels like a no-brainer to bet on that trend continuing.

Tight End – Hunter Henry, New England Patriots @ Cincinnati Bengals, 3400

It feels like a cheap shot to continually pick on the Bengals’ defence, but when they’re coming up against such a good offence and their numbers this season have been so poor, it’s difficult not to keep picking Patriots.

Hunter Henry ranks as the 13th-best tight end in fantasy this season, and his price reflects that, but the Bengals have given up the most points to tight ends in the NFL this season, and that fact is hard to ignore when looking at setting your lineup this Sunday.

Not only do they give up the most, but the Bengals have given up 37 more points than the next closest team so far this season, a stat Henry will love to see.

Henry is a big part of the offence that Drake Maye has led so well this season, and if the numbers are to be believed, it seems likely that connection will continue in Cincinnati in week 12.

Fantasy Football picks summary

This week, the picks are:

  • Captain – Jahymr Gibbs
  • QB – Jared Goff
  • RB – TreVeyon Henderson
  • WR – AJ Brown
  • TE – Hunter Henry

Full10Yards launches the Full10YardsNetwork

Full10Yards is delighted to announce the launch of the Full10YardsNetwork as it looks to become the home of grassroots UK fan-generated content for American football.

The Network is a collaboration of fan channels this side of the Atlantic, both of NFL teams and other sub-sections within the game we love, as we look for new ways to grow the game in the UK.

Believeland Brits Podcast, representing the Cleveland Browns in the Network, and BigBlue UK & Ireland for the New York Giants have been announced as the Network’s first channels, with more to follow over the course of the off-season – with the hope to have most of the NFL’s teams covered by the end of the current season.

The Network is one of a number of new projects launching over the summer, with the new website having launched last week as well as the launch of the pre-order for the season guide, and a number of exciting developments awaiting completion.

Josh Henwood, chair of Full10Yards, said: “As with every off-season, we’ve had time and focus to understand what goals we were able to achieve over the season, what our mission is, and how we can best position ourselves to achieve that mission next season.”

“As always, our mission is to grow the game of American football here in the UK. We’ve done a lot towards promoting Britball, budding officials and coaches, and fundraising for other fantastic causes around the sport on these shores including BAFA’s Wheelchair Football division.”

“This season, we wanted to maximise our support of the game in the UK through what we do, and identified the encouraging and growing number of fan channels in the UK as a way that the sport is growing rapidly. It is hoped, that with our support and the collaboration tools we can offer, that we can help shape this community to reach its potential and maximise its voice in the sport – and that this creates opportunities to support the sport in bigger ways.”

“It’s a really exciting time as we grow Full10Yards for this, and we want to cover all aspects of the sport including American teams, Britball, the European League of Football, general conversation, fantasy / betting, etc. The opportunities are endless, really.”

Stay tuned on @Full10Yards for more information on the new network and developments, and how Full10Yards is continuing to grow the game in the UK.
