UPDATE: Week 13 fantasy football running back projections have been just announced, highlighting crucial developments for your playoff lineup. With the 2025 NFL season entering its final stretch, top players like Christian McCaffrey are making headlines for their record-breaking performances.
As of now, McCaffrey has surpassed 300 fantasy points, showcasing his dominance with one game more than his competitors. Jahmyr Gibbs has also made waves, delivering a performance last week that surpassed all but the top-scoring running back by a significant margin.
However, not all news is positive. Trey Benson and Omarion Hampton have been ruled out, complicating decisions for fantasy managers. The Los Angeles Rams’ Kyren Williams struggled last week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, averaging just 48 yards on 13 touches. This decline raises questions about his future effectiveness as a top 10 running back.
In a surprising turn, D’Andre Swift faced competition from Kyle Monangai, which could signal a bust for Swift moving forward. His snap counts will be critical to monitor as the season progresses.
As the playoff push intensifies, fantasy players should be aware of the latest trends and player performance metrics. The Atlanta Falcons are likely to utilize Robinson heavily, but his snap percentage dipped to 66% last week. This is a concern as the team navigates injuries, specifically with Drake London‘s status in question.
Additionally, Irving, who has been sidelined for the past eight weeks due to injuries, could still be available in shallow leagues, making him a potential steal for desperate teams. His previous performance averaged 19.83 fantasy points per game in PPR formats, despite limited rushing touchdowns.
The New York Jets are currently ranked 20th in defending against running backs, allowing 4.1 yards per carry. This statistic enhances the appeal of running backs facing them in upcoming matchups.
With the playoff picture becoming clearer, fantasy managers must act quickly to optimize their rosters. Each week, expert analyses, including depth charts and player projections, will be vital for decision-making.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach Week 13 and ensure your lineup is ready for the crucial matchups ahead. Your fantasy success may depend on the latest insights and projections.
