Being a fantasy football playoff player requires having a solid rookie running back heading into week 13, and these rookies might be the ones you’re looking for.
These players are primed to get big yards, and as a result, score big points against some tough defenses.
Keep in mind that Week 13 is a scheduling quirk for the NFL, as the playoffs are coming up. The deadline for divisional rivals to agree to a post-season matchup is Sunday, May 5 at 5 p.m. ET.
These 10 games will be the first time these rookies are matched up against their counterparts in their divisional foes.
As always, keep in mind that a touchdown in fantasy football is worth 10 points and 10-point rushing yards are worth five.
