Week 13 DraftKings DFS Breakdown (Main Slate Only)
Defined Slate: Value QBs + RB Chalk + WR Efficiency
Written by Adam Krautwurst
Week 13 brings one of the most defined DFS slates of the season. Kimani Vidal headlines as the most dominant value while De’Von Achane, Jaylen Waddle, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba provide slate-breaking upside.
Key Slate Notes:
Kimani Vidal = slate’s most important play • Darnold→JSN stacks = winning combo • Achane+Waddle = best ceiling duo
Quarterbacks
Top Play: Sam Darnold
Stacks with JSN + Barner • Cheap for 2 stud RBs • Condensed target tree = cash/GPP king.
Best Value: Tyrod Taylor
Dual-threat floor • Enables Achane+Vidal • GPP spike with Mitchell/Metchie.
Tournament Ceiling: C.J. Stroud
Collins + Schultz correlation • Low ownership leverage.
Running Backs
1. Kimani Vidal (CORE PLAY)
Volume + salary + role = cannot fade in cash.
2. De’Von Achane
Best ceiling on slate • One-play slate-breaker.
3. Breece Hall
Strong usage + Jets passing leverage.
GPP Leverage: Bijan Robinson
Massive upside + low ownership pivot.
