It's time for the top 100 players overall for PPR leagues in Week 13—a list that can be used as a resource when making "flex" lineup decisions. But before we get to that, the always fun and exciting weekly notes.
The first is the same as always: There are no quarterbacks listed here. If your fantasy league has a "superflex" spot and you have a viable second quarterback, flex him. With six teams on bye and injuries piling up at the position, however, "viable" is becoming a relative concept.
That's right. It's Byepocalypse Part 2 this week—the Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills, Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders, Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants are all off. No Lamar Jackson or Josh Allen at quarterback. No Josh Jacobs or Saquon Barkley at running back. No Stefon Diggs or Davante Adams at wide receiver.
Finally, for more than a few fantasy managers, this is a do-or-die week. They need a win to keep their postseason aspirations alive. Given that, this is no time to be conservative, especially if you consider yourself an underdog. Don't be afraid to sacrifice floor for ceiling with lineup calls where necessary. It's better to shoot for the victory and lose by 40 than play not to lose and fall by 10.
It's also easier to live with. Believe me.
