Week 13 Flex Rankings: Fantasy Half-PPR cheat sheet with Top 150 players RB/WR/TE, lineup tips

Heading into Week 13, we have a solid understanding of the NFL teams and how they operate. We can distinguish high-volume from low-volume players, enabling us to identify advantageous matchups for fantasy football. 

Of course, injuries happen, so it's essential to adapt to them. This week, fantasy managers get a break, as no teams are on bye. 

Things are a bit different in Week 13 with Thanksgiving Day. Instead of just one game, there are three games on Thursday. As well as a game on Black Friday. 

Here are our Week 13 Half-PPR Flex fantasy rankings, which should be applied to leagues that award half a point for every catch.

Half-PPR flex rankings tips for Week 13

Half-PPR RB Week 13 lineup advice

• Bucky Irving is going to practice all week ahead of their game against the Cardinals. He will be available to suit up for the first time since Week 4. We're still monitoring that situation to see his status for Week 13. 
• RJ Harvey has a great chance to break out as the RB1 in Denver against a Raiders defense that got tormented by Browns' RBs. 
• One of the Chiefs' RBs is going to feast against Dallas on Thanksgiving; it's just a mystery which one. 
• Derrick Henry was in strong consideration for RB1 this week with his matchup against the Bengals. Regardless of the frustrations, you start him with extreme confidence.

Half-PPR WR Week 13 lineup advice

• Rashee Rice is my WR2 this week against Dallas. JSN narrowly beat him out for the WR1. Best advice this week: Start everyone you can in that Chiefs vs. Cowboys game on Thanksgiving. 
• With Tee Higgins now out, Andrei Iosivas can remain in lineups regardless of who is at QB for Cincinnati. 
• The confidence in Justin Jefferson has to be shot at the moment, and the matchups are not easy. You can't bench a guy like that, but there are certainly managers who want to. 
• If this is the turnaround for A.J. Brown, it took long enough. However, he should be looked at as the WR20 or better for the rest of the season.

Half-PPR TE Week 13 lineup advice

• If Brenton Strange is on your waivers and you need a tight end, get him. In his first game back from IR, he was targeted five times and led his team in receiving. 
• Mark Andrews is a smash play this week against the Bengals defense that allows the most fantasy points per game to opposing TEs.

Who are the best Half-PPR flex Week 13 sleepers?

Michael Wilson, WR, Cardinals: Managers might be ready to bench Wilson if MHJ returns. However, Wilson has thrived as the WR1 to such an extent that it would seem unwise for Arizona to stop using him. 

Kareem Hunt, RB, Chiefs: With Isiah Pacheco potentially returning, some might shy away from Hunt. However, the Cowboys love to allow the other team to score a lot of points. This bodes well for Hunt, who is the goal-line back.

Who are the top bust candidates in Half-PPR fantasy Week 13?

Jacory-Croskey Meritt, RB, Commanders: Under no circumstances can you start "Bill" with any confidence. This is especially true in Week 13, when they'll face the Denver Broncos. 

Emanuel Wilson, RB, Packers: Regardless of whether Josh Jacobs plays or not, Wilson feels anything but safe in Week 13 against the Lions. Detroit has allowed the least FPPG to opposing RBs in the NFL.
