RB Index, Week 13: Five running backs who can save their teams' seasons (13.  Jamaal Williams (2022 stats: 11 games | 177 att | 734 rush yds | 4.2 ypc | 13 rush TD | 9 rec | 57 rec yds | 0 rec TD | 1 fumble lost):  Williams continued to show off his nose for the end zone, tallying his league-leading 13th rush touchdown to open the scoring on Thanksgiving Day. Williams has scored as many TDs on the ground this season as he had in his career coming into 2022.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/rb-index-week-13-five-running-backs-who-can-save-their-teams-seasons

NFL QB Index, Week 13: Dak Prescott earns highest ranking of 2022; new low for Russell Wilson (19.  Jared Goff (2022 stats: 11 games | 63.7 pct | 2,682 pass yds | 7.4 ypa | 17 pass TD | 7 INT | 42 rush yds | 0 rush TD | 5 fumbles):  With families gathered around the boob tube on Thanksgiving, Goff launched a deep-shot heater to D.J. Chark. A pass -- hurtling through space against a heavily favored Bills team -- with the potential to serve as Detroit's biggest moment in nearly forever. Instead, the throw was off the mark. One moment tucked inside a wave of late-game Lions chicanery that allowed Josh Allen to steal the show. I hated that pass for Goff because it masked over an otherwise-admirable showing. Outside of one absurd turnover-worthy lob into danger, Goff did his part for three-plus quarters. Then disaster struck. Goff in a nutshell, I suppose.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-qb-index-week-13-2022-season-rankings

NFL Week 13 underdogs: Mike White's Jets to keep rolling against Vikings? Can Dolphins defeat 49ers? (4. Jags at Lions:  Well, look at that. All it took was three straight quality games from Trevor Lawrence, capped off with a clutch touchdown drive against Baltimore, for folks to believe in the Jaguars again.  That’s obviously encouraging for Jacksonville fans, but Detroit certainly doesn't feel to me like an underdog in this matchup, not with the way the Lions have been playing lately.  Detroit essentially dominated the Giants two weeks ago, then took the high-powered Bills to the wire on Thanksgiving. Steeled by the NFL’s highest strength of schedule through 12 weeks, the Lions are no pushover. Are they still good for a clunker or two? Sure. But in Year 2 under Dan Campbell, they seem to be playing as if they believe they can win every remaining game.  Jacksonville, meanwhile, has won two of its last three, with the victory over the Ravens standing as the team's best win since a Week 3 blowout of the Chargers. Between then and now, though, the Jaguars trudged through a miserable five-game stretch in which they didn't record a single win and just didn't look good enough to beat anyone, even if the margin of defeat was never greater than a single possession.  Perhaps the oddsmakers see Detroit as the ideal opponent for the Jaguars to face as they attempt to push their arrow upward. I see it differently, though, because had the Lions held on in the final 30 seconds against the Bills, they would be in the midst of a four-game winning streak, with two of the wins coming on the road.  A second straight home game isn’t going to produce a second straight loss for these Lions. I'm certain of it. Detroit is explosive offensively and has struggled mightily on defense, though it's been better on that side of the ball lately. Sometimes you have to trust your gut, and that’s what I’m doing with this pick. Pass the leftovers, please.):  https://www.nfl.com/news/nfl-week-13-underdogs-mike-white-s-jets-to-keep-rolling-against-vikings-can-dolp
