While Week 13 brought pleasant surprises for some, others were not so pleasantly surprised. If you had Russell Wilson in your lineup, you were rewarded with one of his best career performances as his 26.86 fantasy points were the most he’s put up since Week 4 of the 2022 season.
If you started Kirk Cousins, however…I’m so sorry. In contrast with Wilson, Cousins had one of his worst career days, including four interceptions for a measly 2.10 fantasy points, continuing a downward trend over the last three weeks.
But let’s focus on the positive. Here were Week 13’s top fantasy football scorers for each position.
NFL Fantasy Week 13 top scorers
Fantasy Week 13 top scorers – Quarterbacks
Despite throwing three interceptions and a loss to the Broncos on Monday night, Browns quarterback Jameis Winston scored the most fantasy points of all the QBs in Week 13 with 32.98. He finished the game with 34-of-58 completions for 497 yards and four touchdowns plus three carries for 11 yards and a two-point conversion pass. His high-risk style of play rewarded him in fantasy, but ultimately the interceptions lost them the game.

He finished the game with 10-of-14 targets for a career-high 140 yards and a touchdown, leading the Raiders in receptions, receiving yards, and targets. It was his second 100-yard game and third with double-digit receptions.

Fantasy Week 13 top scorers – Defenses
Week 13’s top scoring defense was the Denver Broncos in Week 13 with 20 fantasy points. While Winston and Jeudy had big nights for the Browns, the Broncos’ defense made plays that made the difference in their victory. With just under two minutes to go in the game, the Browns were up by two and Ja‘Quan McMillan snatched the ball in front of Elijah Moore, fell to the ground, but got back up after he realized no one touched him, and took off for the touchdown. Shortly after, Winston threw a goal-line interception into the hands of Cody Barton with 34 seconds left in the game to put a bow on the W.
