Week 12 of the NFL Season is in the books. Here are the Week 13 quarterback rankings for fantasy football. No teams are on bye this week with the Thanksgiving schedule. Jaxson Dart, Baker Mayfield, and Aaron Rodgers are questionable with injuries.

Quarterback Rankings Week 13 Fantasy Football

Tier 1: The Big 5

Rank Player Opponent
1 Jalen Hurts Chicago Bears
2 Patrick Mahomes Dallas Cowboys
3 Josh Allen Pittsburgh Steelers
4 Lamar Jackson Cincinnati Bengals
5 Matthew Stafford Carolina Panthers

This top tier of quarterbacks is the best of the best in fantasy football:

  • Hurts had his best fantasy performance of the season, scoring over 30 fantasy points in the Eagles’ loss to the Cowboys. He had over 280 passing yards, a passing touchdown, and two rushing touchdowns. Hurts gets another favorable matchup against the Bears on Black Friday in Week 13, and comes at the top of the quarterback rankings.
  • Before last week, Jackson had not had a single-digit fantasy point performance since Week 5 of 2023. However, he has accomplished that in the last two weeks, failing to score more than eight points in either of the two games. Jackson will look to bounce back on Thanksgiving Night against the Bengals’ poor defense.

Tier 2: Low-End QB1s

Rank Player Opponent
6 Justin Herbert Las Vegas Raiders
7 Jaxson Dart* New England Patriots
8 Dak Prescott Kansas City Chiefs
9 Joe Burrow* Baltimore Ravens
10 Drake Maye New York Giants

These guys are low-end QB1s, and I feel comfortable starting any of them as my QB1 this week:

  • After getting injured in Week 2, Burrow will look to make his return on Thanksgiving Night against the Ravens. He got a couple of full practices in last week, but this is a short week to get ready for. If he does play, he is a top ten option in fantasy football.
  • Maye had his fourth straight finish outside of the top ten fantasy quarterbacks, failing to top 20 fantasy points once again. He will look to top that mark against a struggling Giants defense on Monday Night Football.

Tier 3: High-End QB2s

Rank Player Opponent
11 Baker Mayfield* Arizona Cardinals
12 Jacoby Brissett Tampa Bay Buccaneers
13 Bo Nix Washington Commanders
14 Sam Darnold Minnesota Vikings
15 Caleb Williams Philadelphia Eagles

This tier consists of the high-end QB2s:

  • Brissett continues to ball out, finishing as a top 12 fantasy quarterback in all six of his starts. He threw for 317 yards and a passing touchdown in the Cardinals’ overtime loss. Brissett battles Mayfield and the Buccaneers in what should be a high-scoring affair. Both quarterbacks are top fifteen options in the quarterback rankings for Week 13.
  • Williams had a strong fantasy day, throwing for three passing touchdowns in the Bears’ victory. He only completed 19 of 35 passes, but still scored over 21 fantasy points. Williams has a tougher matchup against the Eagles’ defense on Black Friday.

Tier 4: Superflex Options Only

Rank Player Opponent
16 Jared Goff Green Bay Packers
17 Jordan Love Detroit Lions
18 Brock Purdy Cleveland Browns
19 Trevor Lawrence Tennessee Titans
20 Aaron Rodgers* Buffalo Bills
21 Daniel Jones Houston Texans
22 C.J. Stroud Indianapolis Colts

These players are options only in very deep leagues or SuperFlex leagues:

  • Goff threw a season-high 42 times in the Lions’ overtime victory over the Giants. He has 279 passing yards, two touchdown passes, and one interception. Goff has a tough matchup against Love and the Packers to open up the Thanksgiving Day slate.
  • In a pivotal AFC South Matchup, Jones and the Colts host Stroud and the Texans. Stroud has missed the last few weeks, but he is expected to return this week. The Texans are one of the best defenses in the league, so temper expectations for Jones. Both quarterbacks are a fade this week.
