Show Caption

Bad weather games are always a sight to behold in the NFL.

In fantasy football, they can create more opportunities for turnovers and blocked kicks – giving defenses and special teams a greater impact. With one snow game already in the books last week, be sure to keep an eye on the weather forecast when setting your fantasy lineups.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 13 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. Six points are awarded for defensive and kick return touchdowns. Two points are awarded for safeties and one half point is awarded for sacks.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com
