Welcome to Week 13 of the fantasy football season. With quite a few weeks of data available, we can officially make more educated start/sit decisions and roster moves. Pay attention to bye weeks, injuries, and how to set lineups to cover your risk and maximize your best players.
Every league is different — especially in the IDP world. These rankings are based on our fantasy scoring to help you adjust to your league while acknowledging that there will be some variations across different platforms. If you have any questions, join our free PFN Fantasy Discord and let us know.

Best IDP Players To Start in Week 13
C.J. Mosley, LB, New York Jets
C.J. Mosley is the absolute definition of consistency among LBs. In his 11 games this year, he’s failed to hit nine or more tackles just twice. In four of his last five games off the bye, he’s been over 11 tackles.

This week, the Jets get the run-centric Falcons and a fantastic opportunity for Mosley to rack up tackles. Lock him into lineups with supreme confidence.
Antoine Winfield Jr., S, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Despite not playing an ideal role for an IDP safety, Antoine Winfield Jr. continues to produce. His last two weeks have seen Winfield post a whopping 26 total tackles. As always, he’s got upside to turn the ball over, too, and the Panthers have been prone to that. With a high floor and a high ceiling, Winfield is an absolute must-start for managers this week.
