FanDuel NFL: Week 13 lineup
With FanDuel NFL contests rolling out for Week 13, here’s a lineup to consider using.
First off, as usual, let’s look at the results my FanDuel NFL lineup produced in Week 12.
Quarterback: Russell Wilson-24.62 points
Running Backs: Kareem Hunt-3.1 points, Carlos Hyde-10.3 points
Wide Receivers: Julio Jones-44.8 points, Brandin Cooks-18.4 points, Corey Coleman-7.9 points
Tight End: Delanie Walker-14.3 points
Kicker: Chris Boswell-7 points
Team Defense: Pittsburgh Steelers-3 points
You know it’s bad when Julio Jones goes off the way he did and you’re still left out of the money. Hunt and Hyde were both serious duds, as was the Steelers defense in a surprisingly bad performance.

Here’s my FanDuel lineup for Week 13, which I’m using once again in an attempt to get back in the money.
Quarterback: Philip Rivers, Los Angeles Chargers-$8,000
Rivers had a big Thanksgiving Day outing against the Dallas Cowboys, going 27-for-33 for 434 yards and three touchdowns. He has multiple passing touchdowns in three straight games, and in four of his last five, with just three interceptions over his last eight games.
The Cleveland Browns are in the bottom-10 of the league against quarterbacks (ESPN scoring), with multiple passing touchdowns allowed in eight of their 11 games and just six interceptions thus far.
Cleveland has allowed less than 250 passing yards in six of their last seven games, so it might not be quite as favorable a matchup as you might think for Rivers this week. But the Browns are vulnerable through the air in a broader sense, and his level of play recently makes Rivers my FanDuel signal caller for Week 13.
