Week 13 fantasy football rankings: Dual-threat QBs lead playoff push
Even though they’re facing stout defenses, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen are the top two QBs this week.Key injuries to watch include Aaron Rodgers, Justin Fields, Joe Mixon, Najee Harris, Travis Etienne.Bye weeks are still a factor, with the Arizona Cardinals and Carolina Panthers off in Week 13.
With only two weeks to go in most fantasy leagues’ regular seasons, it’s do-or-die time for fantasy managers everywhere. Having a great quarterback makes other lineup decisions much easier – especially with Philadelphia’s Jalen Hurts and Buffalo’s Josh Allen leading the way through the air and on the ground.
