The Tennessee Titans will face the Washington Commanders in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Will Levis.
Is Will Levis Playing in Week 13?
Levis is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.
We’ll continue to monitor the Titans’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Will Levis in Week 13?
Levis opened last week at Houston with 11 straight completions (177 yards and a touchdown), something that was good for dynasty managers to see.
He later added to his fantasy total by hitting Chig Okonkwo on a nine-yard pass that the athletic tight end turned into a 70-yard touchdown. If you’re simply looking at box scores, you’ll see two usable weeks from Levis in his three games since returning from injury — again, a nice step for him to take in Year 2.
Let’s not get carried away. This isn’t a player that one-QB-leaguers need to worry about. If he can put up big numbers this week, we can have the “Do I stream Will Levis against Jacksonville with Lamar Jackson on a bye?” conversation next week. I hope that comes through as that would be awfully helpful for all of us Jackson managers who refuse to roster a secondary QB.
Time will tell on that front — there’s nothing you need to do this weekend.

PFN Insight on the Commanders' Defense
The Washington Commanders are an intriguing defense because they started the season poorly (three of five weeks ranking inside the bottom 10). We saw a brief spell of improved performances, but those were all against lesser-talented offenses. Their standing improved as the season went on, but being league-average seems like the ceiling.
The game against the Cowboys was not ideal for the Commanders in general, but the defense was mostly fine. The Cowboys scored 14 of their 34 points on special teams and were held to just three points in the first half. We expected better than a league-average performance overall, but the defense does not bear the responsibility for the loss.
Washington has done fine in terms of pass defense, ranking around the league average. A big driver of that has been its ability to both get pressure without sending extra men and then get home for sacks. However, the Commanders' run defense has been awful, which has played a huge part in their poor numbers on third downs and inside the red zone.
There's been a slight defensive improvement under Dan Quinn, but not to the level we would have expected. The real test will be if they can maintain the improvements as the playoffs approach and then build upon it next season.

Tennessee Titans at Washington Commanders Trends
Tennessee Titans
Team: Tennessee has 21 turnovers this season, their most through 11 games since 2015. They’ve forced just nine turnovers, their second-lowest mark at this point in the season during the 2000s.
QB: Will Levis opened last week at Houston with 11 straight completions (177 yards and a touchdown)
Offense: The Titans had multiple drives reach the red zone in each of their first nine games — they have had a total of two such drives over the past two weeks.
Defense: The Tennessee defense has shown glimpses of promise, but they are coughing up chunk plays at an alarming rate.
Yards Per Completion Allowed
- Week 8: 6.3
- Week 9: 7.1
- Week 10: 11.7
- Week 11: 12.3
- Week 12: 12.4

Betting: The Titans have played four games against the NFC this season, all against the North – they failed to cover each of those contests.
Washington Commanders
Team: Eight of Washington’s 12 games this season have been decided by a single score, including each of their past five.
QB: Are the ribs bothering Jayden Daniels? Since getting banged up in Week 7, he’s completed just 31.6% of passes when under duress (Weeks 1-6: 57.1%).
Offense: The Rams have scored under 2.25 points per drive three times this season, two of which have come in the past two weeks (at Eagles and vs. Cowboys).
Defense: Washington has allowed at least 26 points in all three games during this losing streak — they allowed more than 15 points in just two of their six previous games.
Fantasy: Noah Brown has quietly seen at least six targets in four of five games, a run that all started with the Hail Mary catch against the Bears.
Betting: Overs have cashed in the Commanders’ past six games against the AFC.
