Fantasy Football Week 13 RBs Start 'Em picks

Week 13 starts (GETTY)

Bucky Irving is having an excellent 2024 fantasy football season in his rookie year with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He ranks as the overall RB22 despite sharing the backfield workload with Rachaad White. Irving is on his best streak of the year, finishing as the RB3 and RB6 in his past two games. This gives him plenty of momentum heading into a favorable Week 13 matchup against the weak Carolina Panthers defense.

He is joined by Jonathan Taylor, who has struggled a bit in recent weeks for the Indianapolis Colts. He has finished outside the top 25 weekly running backs in the past two games but has a strong chance of bouncing back in fantasy football this week.

A favorable matchup against the New England Patriots may be just what he needs to get back on track. Despite playing in nine games, he still ranks as the overall RB24 this year.

Fantasy Football Week 13 RBs Sit 'Em picks

Week 13 sits (GETTY)

Najee Harris has been having a solid 2024 fantasy football season, ranking as the overall RB23 this year. The issue is that the Pittsburgh Steelers have been giving some of his workload to Jaylen Warren in recent weeks. In fact, Harris recorded a season-low 39% snap share last week, so he should be avoided against the Cincinnati Bengals, as he is trending in the wrong direction.

Split backfield situations have also hurt Javonte Williams' fantasy value this year. He remains the starter for the Denver Broncos, playing in more than 50% of the snaps in 11 of his 12 games, but he has finished among the top 15 weekly running backs just three times. He has also totaled just 18 carries across his past three games, so he should be faded in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns.
