It’s Week 13, and the fantasy football playoffs are just around the corner. That means setting the perfect fantasy football lineup is more critical than ever.
Today, we will look at three players from the AFC North and their fantasy football outlook for this week.
Should fantasy players start Chase Brown, George Pickens, or Najee Harris in Week 13? Let’s dive into it.
Should I Start Chase Brown For Fantasy Football?
Brown started the year slowly but has been outstanding lately. He is the RB19 for the season, averaging 12.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The second-year running back has seven touchdowns, totaling five on the ground. Furthermore, he was on fire before the Cincinnati Bengals’ bye week.

The second-year star has averaged 82.7 rushing yards and 19.6 fantasy points per game over his past three contests. Brown faces a Pittsburgh Steelers defense on Sunday that has surrendered two touchdowns and 21.3 fantasy points per game to running backs over the past three weeks. He is a solid RB2 option.
Should I Start George Pickens For Fantasy Football?
Pickens is the ultimate boom-or-bust wide receiver. He is the WR20 for the year, averaging 10.3 half-point PPR fantasy points despite having only two touchdowns this season. The third-year pro has scored single-digit fantasy points in 54.6% of the games.

However, Pickens has played well with Russell Wilson under center, averaging eight targets and 13.3 fantasy points per game over the past five contests. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Bengals have surrendered 211.5 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 40 fantasy points per game to wide receivers over the past two weeks. Pickens is an appealing low-end WR2 in Week 13.
Should I Start Najee Harris For Fantasy Football?
Harris is the RB23 for the year, averaging 11.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The star running back has three rushing touchdowns this season, totaling all three over the past six contests. However, he has struggled lately, averaging only 2.9 yards per rushing attempt since the team’s Week 9 bye.
NAJEE HARRIS ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

Unfortunately, Harris faces a Bengals defense that has held running backs to 18.3 fantasy points per game, the ninth fewest in the NFL. Running backs have had fewer than 85 rushing yards in five of their past six matchups against Cincinnati. He is a risky flex play.
