| 3 | Will ShipleyRB · PHI | @ ARISmash spot | speculative | 4% | Sits directly behind Saquon Barkley with 62% of that workload transferring. Philadelphia's line makes any starter behind it startable. |

Keon Coleman WR · BUF
@ NE is a nightmare draw and there is a better add above him at the same position.

Planning week 13
Claims are decided before the matchup, so read this board on Tuesday and set your bid before you know how anyone else feels about the name. The score behind each player is the same one used all season — value over replacement adjusted for the defense he faces — which means a player can be a must-add in week 13 and a bench hold two weeks later without anything about him changing.
If a bye week is thinning your lineup, fill the hole from the drop list first: moving a player you were never going to start is cheaper than winning a bidding war.
