Thanksgiving Fantasy Football: Week 13 Advice
The 2025 NFL Week 13 starts on Thanksgiving Day with the traditional tripleheader. This schedule brings key fantasy football decisions that can impact your lineup for the rest of the season.
Start 'Em: Best Matchups
- Quarterbacks: Look for signal-callers facing defenses that have struggled against the pass this season.
- Running Backs: Prioritize backs going against run defenses ranked in the bottom third.
- Wide Receivers: Target receivers against teams with weak pass coverage, especially those who are clear primary targets.
- Tight Ends: Favor tight ends with a strong role in the red zone or frequent targets.
Sit 'Em: Avoid These Players
- Players facing top-ranked defenses that limit yards and touchdowns.
- Injured or questionable players at risk of limited snaps.
- Teams likely to have one-sided games where key starters may get rested early.
Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) Picks
Look for value picks and potential sleepers who could provide upside without a high salary cost. Players upgrading due to injuries or favorable matchups often offer the best DFS leverage.
