Week 13 in the NFL season starts today with the opportunity to get a win in daily fantasy sports full-slate lineup in optimal form.
Another week of NFL football, another opportunity to play the daily salary cap lineup for the full slate of games this week. We are back with the full slate after taking a week off to do just a Thanksgiving slate last week. This will be all games from Thursday to Monday with six teams taking this week off in the last bye week of the season. Heading into Week 13, here is the optimal lineup according to the salary cap given by Draft Kings for the full slate.

QB: Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys – $7,200
Except Week 11 against Carolina, Dak Prescott has been a top-three quarterback in fantasy football in five of the last seven weeks (one week on bye). He has averaged 34.8 fantasy points per game in his last five weeks since coming out of the bye week. At this point, he is just a must-play as the top quarterback going into the week playing another subpar defense.
RB: Tony Pollard, Dallas Cowboys – $6,800
Tony Pollard has been a subpar back all year. He is averaging just 13.93 points per game in PPR. However, he had his best game of the season last week against Washington. He got in on Dallas’ success rushing 13 times for 76 yards and a touchdown. He found his money, catching six passes for 24 yards as well.
RB: Zach Moss, Indianapolis Colts – $4,600
With the news of Jonathan Taylor missing the next couple of weeks, Zack Moss for $4,600 is a steal. Don’t forget that it was just a few weeks ago that Moss was the RB2, 5, and 7 without Taylor. He could easily run for 100+ yards and a touchdown against a Titans defense.

WR: Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions – $8,500
In back-to-back games this season, Amon-Ra St. Brown went under 100 yards for the first time. However, he is still finding the endzone and he is still producing a lot of fantasy points. He has caught eight and nine passes on 11 targets in each of the last two games. He will get targets. He will get catches. He will get yards. And if he gets a touchdown, he will go over 20 points.
WR: Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos – $5,400
There is no denying what the Denver Broncos are doing. They went from 1-5 to 6-5 after winning their last five games in a row. In that stretch, Sutton has gone over 15 points per game on average in each of those. With the Texans’ defense not being known for its pass defense, Sutton should have a productive day in the air for Russell Wilson.
WR: Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers – $4,600
Christian Watson finally had the game that everyone who rosters him desired last week. He caught five of seven passes for 94 yards and a touchdown for 20.40 fantasy points and the WR13 on the week. Jayden Reed is the top receiver on the week and is questionable to play because of a chest injury. If he can’t go, Watson is an immediate borderline WR1/2.

TE: Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers – $4,300
Matt Canada is gone and the Steelers’ offense exploded. Pat Freiermuth was back to dominating the middle of the field and Kenny Pickett found him early and often. He finished catching nine passes on 11 targets for 120 yards and 21.00 fantasy points without a touchdown. Though the Cardinals’ defense is tough on tight ends, Freiermuth is Pickett’s top option and should see work.
FLEX: Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers – $5,200
The Arizona defense might be good against tight ends this season, but they are giving up big yards to running backs. After averaging roughly 3.4 yards per carry this season, Najee Harris broke out with 6.6 yards per carry against Cincinnati, the most of the season for the power back. If he can run like this again against Arizona, he could easily be a top-10 back.
DEF: Atlanta Falcons – $3,400
For as bad as the Falcons offense is, the defense is keeping this team afloat. Not only has the defense been playing well with 12 points last week against a good New Orleans offense, they will get the New York Jets and third-string QB Tim Boyle this week. Last week, the Jets gave up 22 points to the Dolphins’ defense; two weeks ago, they also gave up 22 points to the Bills.
