The NFL’s celebration of Thanksgiving is already behind us, but Week 13 is just getting started for all the fantasy football managers prepping for the impending playoffs. Major teams played during the week, leaving a number of starting fantasy quarterbacks already through with their Week 13 action. Sunday will be here soon, so we’ll take a look at some of the viable streaming options for your fantasy matchups.
The Packers beat the Lions on Thanksgiving 31-24 as Packers’ QB Jordan Love threw for four touchdowns and no interceptions. Cowboys’ Dak Prescott erupted for 320 yards and two touchdowns in Dallas’ win over Kansas City while Joe Burrow returned from injury to post 261 yards and two touchdowns in the Bengals’ upset over the Ravens. On Black Friday, the Bears took down the Eagles despite a big day from Jalen Hurts passing the ball.
Without further speculation, we’ll bring you our top streaming quarterbacks for NFL Week 13. The following players are available in 50% or more of ESPN Fantasy Football leagues, so don’t hesitate to scoop them up before the weekend to ensure success for your upcoming matchups!
QB Max Brosmer (MIN) – Rostered in 0.7% of leagues
First up, we have arguably the biggest “buy low” candidate of the fantasy football season in rookie quarterback Max Brosmer out of the home state University of Minnesota. With the recent news of starting QB JJ McCarthy sidelined indefinitely due to concussion protocol, the Vikings have officially made the announcement that Brosmer will make the start in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks.
Although this will be his first NFL start, Brosmer has gained high praise from the likes of Justin Jerfferson from his performances in practice. It’s a massive confidence boost to have the endorsement of one of the NFL’s best receivers of the last five years, so Brosmer should be comfortable making this start with the team around him. Furthermore, the Minnesota Gopher alumni is likely to have a ton of support in the stands for this memorable moment.
Despite the team supporting JJ McCarthy as their starter moving forward, the growing pains have certainly been there and McCarthy has already shown he’s prone to injury when in the starting spot. This could be a massive opportunity for Brosmer to gain the trust of the franchise and an even bigger statement if he’s able to march into Seattle and beat the Seahawks.
QB Sam Darnold (SEA) – Rostered in 47.3% of leagues
Heading to the other side of the same game, Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold is still available in just over half of ESPN leagues through this point of the season. He’s having another monster year and he’s one half of Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s historic receiving season with the way he’s been able to feed their franchise talent. Despite this, he’s certainly had his off weeks and ranks just outside of QB1 range at the No. 15 spot in the scoring rankings.
Still, Darnold...
