Week 13 marks the beginning of the final push in the NFL regular season, where every matchup carries extra weight and the quarterback landscape is ripe with opportunity. Juicy game totals, favorable defenses, and a handful of elite signal-callers in prime spots set the stage for explosive fantasy performances on both DraftKings and FanDuel. Whether you’re building cash-game anchors with high floors or hunting tournament-winning upside through leverage and differentiation, this week’s QB pool rewards sharp decision-making. Let’s dive into the top plays at quarterback, from the obvious high-end studs to the sneaky pivots that can help your lineups stand out from the crowd.

 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Top Tier Picks for NFL Week 13

Matthew Stafford, QB Los Angeles Rams 

It’s not that I’m ignoring Josh Allen on this slate but for cheaper you have Matthew Stafford who looks to be on his way to winning an MVP while having 30 touchdown passes through 12 weeks this season. He has elite receivers in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams and while the Panthers just picked off Brock Purdy three times, Stafford hasn’t thrown three interceptions total this season. Feels like another smash spot with how this passing attack is rolling. 

Justin Herbert, QB Los Angeles Chargers

Home and off a bye against the Las Vegas Raiders. Can’t find a better spot for the Chargers and Justin Herbert this week. The receivers are healthy, the team could be getting Omarion Hampton back as well this week. Chargers are 8.5-point home favorites and I’d expect a multi-touchdown performance from Herbert.
 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Mid-Tier Picks for NFL Week 12

Jacoby Brissett, QB Arizona Cardinals 

Another 49 pass attempts from Jacoby Brissett last week as he threw for 317 yards and a touchdown against the Jaguars. This week the Cardinals are on the road against a Buccaneers pass defense that has really struggled. The Cardinals are also getting Marvin Harrison back this week which only adds to the appeal of Brissett in this matchup.

Trevor Lawrence, QB Jacksonville Jaguars

Jumping back in on Trevor Lawrence is always an uneasy feeling. Sure the DFS production was FINE last week as he threw three touchdown passes but he was also picked off three times. This week Jacksonville is on the road against the Tennessee Titans. This should be a plus matchup for Lawrence given the total defensive and offensive struggles for Tennessee this week and the Jaguars receiver rook is fully good to go with Brian Thomas, Jakobi Meyers, Parker Washington and Brenton Strange. A 250-yard and two score game should be doable and that more than pays off the price tag.
 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Value Picks for NFL Week 12

C.J. Stroud, QB Houston Texans

Davis Mills has looked pretty good with this Texans offense while Stroud was sidelined, developing chemistry with rookie WR’s Jayden Higgins and Jaylen Noel while continuing to pepper Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz with targets. So, with Stroud expected back this week for the Texans the hope is obviously that Stroud can keep this Texans passing game going against a Colts defense that did add Sauce Gardner at the trade deadline but still has allowed yards through the air this season. With Colts QB Daniel Jones playing with a fractured fibula and now having to deal with this Texans pass rush, we could see turnovers and short fields for Stroud to take advantage of. 
 

 

 

NFL DFS QB Fades for NFL Week 12

Tua Tagovailoa, QB Miami Dolphins

Cheap price tag, at home and off a bye week with a matchup against the Saints. For many this is a dream spot for a DFS QB play but we’ve seen nothing from the Dolphins or Tua this season to suggest that he’s going to pay off the cost. Sure, there have been a few spots this season where he’s shocked, like his four touchdown game against the Falcons but with limited weapons this game feels once again destined to be the De’Von Achane show and that leaves Tua out of my DFS lineups this weekend.
