The fantasy football Week 13 schedule started on Thursday for Thanksgiving and now owners are heading towards the playoffs and some sleepers for the weekend include Odell Beckham, Shane Vereen, CJ Anderson, Mark Ingram, Latavius Murray, Jonas Gray, Dan Herron, Coby Fleener, Ben Tate, Terrance West and Mike Evans, as those players all have the chance to step up for their teams.
The Giants have been a mess all season, but they are playing the Jaguars and Odell Beckham has been playing out of his mind and could have a big day. Beckham made the catch of the year last week and now he has the secondary of the Jaguars to play against and the Giants really need to rebound from this six game losing streak. CJ Anderson has been playing well with Ronnie Hillman and Montee Ball injured and he is worth starting this week against the Chiefs.
Mark Ingram has been playing well and even with Pierre Thomas on his way back he should still be the back who gets the majority of the touches. Dan Herron and Trent Richardson are getting the bulk of the carries with Ahmad Bradshaw out for the season and they are worth starting against the Redskins. Coby Fleener is another start option, as Dwayne Allen has been banged up and he could be a popular target for Andrew Luck. Jonas Gray and LeGarrette Blount are worth starting for the Patriots even with the tough matchup against the Green Bay Packers, as that could end up being a shootout.
For owners looking for a spot starter, Ben Tate is a decent option, as the Vikings have Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata banged up coming in this week. The Texans may have to use Alfred Blue again if Arian Foster can't go and he will be worth starting against the Titans if Foster is held out. Foster has been excellent this season, but he has missed the last two games with a groin injury and he remains questionable heading into the weekend.
Vereen is a solid option in the crowded Patriots backfield against the Packers, as the team likely will be using the passing game more against Green Bay on Sunday. Blount and Gray are good options to use as RB2 options, while Vereen is the top start option in PPR leagues with how he has been playing. Vereen comes in after being limited in practice this week, but he is expected to play on Sunday.This season Vereen has 340 rushing yards and he has 43 catches for 353 yards to lead the running backs.
Latavius Murray had two touchdowns last week and rushed for 112 yards against the Chiefs and he comes in after suffering a concussion. Murray was able to practice on Thursday and that is a good sign for Murray about playing this weekend and he is worth a start against the Rams even though they have a solid defense. The Broncos have Julius Thomas banged up and while he may play he could be limited and that makes Jacob Tamme a solid option to start. The Broncos are the late game so owners should be careful about what to do on Sunday night.
