NFL Fantasy 2024 Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Quarterbacks for Week 13

Last week against the Lions, Richardson showed that his floor is still low, scoring 12.98 points — but two weeks ago against the Jets, he reminded us that his upside is sky-high, as he put up 28.08 points. This week, I’m choosing to focus on the positives. Richardson has been running more, logging 10 rushing attempts in each of his last two games. He’s generated 21 total fantasy points in those two contests via his legs alone. Week 13 could be an upside week, since the Patriots are in the top 10 in passing yards and touchdowns allowed to opposing QBs on the year. They’ve allowed the most passing TDs in the NFL since Week 8, tied with the Raiders. Again, Richardson’s floor can be a drawback, so he is not a must-start, but we have reached the time of the season when the QB options thin out a bit. There is enough upside here to make it worth taking a shot over the names I have as sits below, or over other fliers like Drake Maye, Caleb Williams, Jameis Winston and Aaron Rodgers.
