Best DraftKings lineup for Week 13

Running Back #1: Leonard Fournette, Tampa Bay Bucs ($7,300)

Leonard Fournette has assumed workhorse status for Tampa Bay this season, and he’s currently the RB5 in PPR leagues. Fournette is hot coming off of a 131 yard game where he scored four total touchdowns. His passing game work has solidified his floor even more, as he’s seen five or more targets in all but two games. He’s a rock-solid RB1 and will have a big week yet again.

Atlanta is bad on all defensive aspects, and they’re allowing the 10th most rushing yards per game. They just allowed 115 total yards to James Robinson last week, who is on a much worse offense. Fournette should get that production and more for us this week.

Running Back #2: Eli Mitchell, San Francisco 49ers ($5,600)

Getting Eli Mitchell, who just came off of a game where he went 27-133-1 in Week 12, for less than $6,000 is perhaps the biggest bargain in our lineup. Mitchell is on a complete tear fantasy-wise, as he’s assumed the workhorse role for San Francisco.

This week, he gets the 23rd-ranked Seattle rush defense, who allows the second-most fantasy points to running backs this season. Given how Seattle has played recently, it’s likely that the 49ers will run away with this game, leaving Mitchell to kill the clock and get force-fed the ball. He has top-five upside this week.
