Chris Carson (vs. Giants), Raheem Mostert (vs. Bills), and Austin Ekeler (vs. Patriots) returned in Week 12 and will solidify the borderline-RB1 range. Myles Gaskin (vs. Bengals), D’Andre Swift (@ Bears), David Johnson (vs. Colts) look set to return this week, and all should be in fantasy lineups, as well. (Update: Swift will reportedly be significantly limited if he’s active.)
WEEK 13 STANDARD RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
However, there are a few key players who could remain out of action. James Conner and Jonathan Taylor were put on the COVID list late last week, so they figure to be quarantining this week but will have a chance to return. Todd Gurley (knee) also may not be able to play, so the likes of Benny Snell (vs. Washington), Jordan Wilkins (@ Texans), Nyheim Hines (@ Texans), and Brian Hill (vs. Saints) will be on the rise in Week 13 if the starters in front of them can’t get and stay healthy. (Update: Gurley is “questionable” but on track to play in Week 13.)
WEEK 13 PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker
As usual, there are a handful of sleepers who really rise in PPR formats, including J.D. McKissic (@ Steelers), James White (@ Chargers), and Chase Edmonds (vs. Rams). It’s worth noting, though, that several other “PPR backs” have ascended to bigger roles, with Hines (@ Texans) and D’Andre Swift (@ Bears) essentially becoming starters. Cam Akers (@ Cardinals) has also been playing more lately and has the potential to be a big PPR contributor if given the chance.

Some power backs, like Damien Harris (@ Chargers) and Wayne Gallman (@ Seahawks, lose a little bit of value in PPR, but given how many scoring chances they get, they still are worth starting. Even someone like Frank Gore (vs. Raiders) has more value than you might think in PPR, as he hauled in all three targets last week in addition to 18 carries.
