Start or Sit These Players on Monday Night to Win Week 13 Fantasy
I will be with you every step of the way with recommendations on who to start and who to sit for every Monday Night Football matchup. Without further ado, let’s make the moves required to wrap up your Week 13 victory. This week we take a look at an AFC East Divisional matchup between the New England Patriots and the Buffalo Bills.
Quarterback
Start or Sit These Players on Monday Night to Win Week 13 Fantasy
Mac Jones – New England Patriots Sully’s Rank: QB22
In the spring of 2021, there were five quarterbacks selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. The fifth QB selected, Michael McCorkle “Mac” Jones, season to date has been the best of the bunch.
Mac Jones enters Week 13 as the QB17, averaging 14.76 per game after 12 games. Mac Jones is a really solid “real life” QB, that hasn’t quite delivered at the same level fantasy wise.
In Week 13, Jones and the Patriots face a Buffalo defense that is the best in the league against the quarterback this season. They are allowing on average 12 points a game to the position. In 11 games this season, quarterbacks are averaging 184 passing yards and .72 passing touchdowns a week.
I would not be starting Mac Jones this week, and I get that for some of you sitting him is not easy, especially in 2QB, Superflex leagues. In a week where fantasy managers are starting Mike Glennon and Gardner Minshew, suggesting you sit Mac Jones is a little out there. Jones is a QB that very well may lead his team to victory this week, and in doing so he’s a low end QB2 at best.
Josh Allen – Buffalo Bills Sully’s Rank: QB4
Last season Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen finished atop the QB rankings with a total of 405.6 points. He enters Week 13 in a comfortable spot atop the standings. Allen averaged 25.32 points a game last season and this season his 24.47 points per game tops the position.
In Week 13, Allen and the Bills face a Patriots defense that is 2nd best fantasy defense against the opposing QB. They are allowing on average 13 points a game to the position. In 12 games this season, quarterbacks are averaging 218 passing yards and 1.17 passing touchdowns a week. In addition they have held the QB to 7 rushing yards a week, and have allowed 1 rushing touchdowns on the season.
Sitting your QB when facing the New England Patriots is expected and understood. Sitting your QB when he is Josh Allen, is neither of those. Ranking Allen at QB4 is done with the opponent baked in. Josh Allen is must every week QB, and if you are fortunate to roster him you already know this.
Running Back
Start or Sit These Players on Monday Night to Win Week 13 Fantasy
New England Backfield
There are few phrases that strike more fear in the hearts of fantasy managers than “The Patriots Backfield”. For years the Patriots have had multiple running backs that they deploy on a weekly basis with little rhyme or reason. The thing is regardless it making any sense, the Patriots are the most successful franchise in recent memory.
In Week 13, the Patriots lock up with the 3rd stingiest fantasy defense. The Bills are allowing on average 20.1 points a game to the position. In 11 games this season Buffalo is giving up on average 77 yards rushing and 9 yards passing to the opposing running backs. In total the Bills have allowed 8 scores on the ground and an additional 2 via the pass.
