Week 13 Start Em Sit Em: The Inside Scoop on Must-Start Players

In Week 13, the following players are must-starts on your fantasy football roster.

Tim Tebow, Denver Broncos

At this point, it's a given that Tebow will get yards rushing out of the zone option. He's either rushed for more than 50 yards or scored a rushing touchdown in every game he's started this season.

Tebow might actually have some room to throw, too, as the Vikings are the No. 32 ranked fantasy defense against the pass.

LeGarrette Blount, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Blount has back-to-back 100-yard games, but that's not the only reason why he's a must-start.

The "Carolina Panthers rule" also comes into play, which states you must start any running back that's facing the worst fantasy run defense in the NFL. 

Chris Johnson, Tennessee Titans

Is he back? 190 rushing yards last week against the Bucs certainly made it seem like it.

Johnson needs to show that he can do it in consecutive weeks, and facing the Bills run defense should help. 

Percy Harvin, Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings are hurting for playmakers with Adrian Peterson on the shelf, and offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave is giving Harvin every opportunity to be "the guy" in Minnesota.

He'll get plenty of targets in the passing game and some carries from the backfield.  

Steve Johnson, Buffalo Bills

Everyone remembers the drop late, but Johnson had a pretty nice vacation on Revis Island last week.

Johnson caught eight passes for 75 yards and a score. If he can shake the criticism of his drop, Johnson should be able to handle Cortland Finnegan.

Brandon Lloyd, St. Louis Rams

If you're looking for receiving touchdowns, Lloyd is your guy. He's caught a score in four of his five games in St. Louis.

As the Rams only viable receiving target, Lloyd is still a guy you should start in San Francisco.

Aaron Hernandez, New England Patriots

Rob Gronkowski is the guy with all the publicity, but Hernandez has slowly increased his production lately and is due to find the end zone.

If he gets seven targets again this week against the Colts, expect Hernandez to catch his sixth touchdown of the season.
