Among those defenses are the Vikings (@ Patriots), Jaguars (vs. Colts), Ravens (@ Falcons), Chargers (@ Steelers), and Steelers (vs. Chargers). Starting any would be a major risk in such a crucial week, though using the Colts, Titans, Dolphins, or Bills probably isn’t going to make you feel much better. It should, though, as Indianapolis (@ Jaguars), Tennessee (vs. Jets), Miami (vs. Bills), and Buffalo (@ Miami) all have favorable matchups and a good amount of upside this week, especially the two playing at home.

Week 13 Rankings:Quarterback | Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End | Kicker

The very top of our rankings isn’t overly strong, as several of the upper-tier units tend to give up yards and even points, but they also make big plays and have great matchups (Packers vs. Cardinals, Panthers @ Bucs, Chiefs @ Raiders). Even our Nos. 10-12 units, the Eagles (vs. Redskins), Broncos (@ Bengals), and Rams (@ Lions), have difficulties in those regards, but the former two could both be facing backup QBs, and the latter is facing a spiraling Lions offense that could be without two key skill players.

Note: These rankings will be updated with analysis during the week, so check back for updates.
