If you’re in the daily fantasy sports (DFS) game, you need as many tools as possible to help set your lineup. Sure, there are some things you’ll disagree with, but not acknowledging stats or information is usually a mistake. FanDuel has acquired numberFire to help on some projections for NFL players for each week to give you another tool to help.
FanDuel daily fantasy projections, Week 13: Running backs
DeAngelo Williams has been getting the work, but it hasn’t led to a change in production. FanDuel daily fantasy owners might want to give him a look this week.

Here are the fantasy projections for Week 13:
Top tier
DeAngelo Williams hasn't been able to put up many rushing yards in his last two games, but he is getting a ton of touches. This week, he gets a great matchup against the Indianapolis Colts at home. The Buffalo Bills may not have Karlos Williams, so LeSean McCoy should be busy at home.
Bargains
David Johnson is the bargain of the week even though he gets a bad matchup. He is a home run hitter and could have some big plays against St. Louis Rams. Giovani Bernard gets the Cleveland Browns and their woeful rush defense, so he's a nice guy for a cheap price.
Elite players with subpar matchups
The top two guys for price have some really bad matchups. Todd Gurley has a really tough game coming up against the Arizona Cardinals -- although, Gurley had his breakout game against them earlier this season. Adrian Peterson gets the Seattle Seahawks defense, so that's not something fantasy owners should use their money on. Devonta Freeman will return from a concussion against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. We'll have to see if he is healthy.
