- The Buccaneers haven’t spent a ton of time defending the red zone this season, though they do rank bottom three at limiting offensive success rate (41.0%), making them a better matchup to target.
- Bam Knight has handled the large majority of carries in the red zone this season, scoring twice on the ground over the last two weeks. Knight should be the top scoring option on the ground for the Cardinals in a good matchup this week, while Trey McBride continues to find the endzone through the air.

| Carlos Washington Jr. | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
| Nate Carter | 0 | 0.0% | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0.0 |
- The Jets’ red-zone defense ranks below average overall at limiting offensive success, showing a particular weakness defending the run, as they are tied for the third-most rushing touchdowns against in the red zone (10).
- Over the last two weeks, Bijan Robinson has carried the ball in the red zone four times compared to Allgeier’s one (although Allgeier scored on his carry), which hasn’t been the norm this season. If Robinson is truly getting those red-zone carries back, then it’s an ideal matchup for him to score against the lowly Jets’ rushing defense.

| Ty Johnson | 5 | 9.1% | 1 | 22 | 2 | 8.2 |
| Ray Davis | 4 | 7.3% | 1 | 5 | 3 | 11.3 |
- The Steelers’ weakness in the red zone has come against the run this season, which has been a strength of the Bills, ranking top five in red-zone rushing success rate (40.0%) and scoring the second-most rushing touchdowns (14) from the red zone.
- James Cook and Josh Allen are the clear best bets to score this week in an ideal rushing matchup. Cook has scored four red-zone rushing touchdowns, while Josh Allen has scored 10 times on the ground in the red zone this season.

- The Rams have been a top-three red-zone defense at limiting offensive success rate this season (27.3%), allowing just 15 red-zone touchdowns, which is tied for the second-fewest.
- With the Panthers’ red-zone success rate coming in well below average (31.2%), it’s difficult to overinvest in anyone from this group, though Rico Dowdle at least has the best chance to overcome the matchup given his usage.
- Week 13 opponent: Philadelphia Eagles

- The Eagles’ red-zone defense has allowed eight passing touchdowns this season, which is tied for the second-best mark in the league, though they allowed three red-zone passing touchdowns just last week against the Cowboys.
- Colston Loveland has been starting to get more involved in the red zone this season, earning the highest target rate on the team and scoring twice over the last three games while ranking third on the team in red-zone routes over that span. It won’t be an easy matchup, but the Eagles did show some weakness last week through the air, and Loveland is beginning to heat up.

- The 49ers’ red-zone defense ranks last at limiting offensive success in that area of the field (43.4%), while the Browns come in near the bottom of the league on offense in that regard (26.4%).
- Quinshon Judkins is the primary hope for a Browns touchdown most weeks, but especially in a week like this, where they aren’t faced with a difficult matchup, Judkins’ chances increase.

- The Commanders rank bottom five overall at limiting offensive success in the red zone (40.0%), while the Broncos offense ranks top-10 in that regard (37.9%).
- Troy Franklin owns the team’s lone red-zone touchdown through the air over the last three games, as the Broncos haven’t been able to capitalize on favorable opportunities too often recently. That should change in a great matchup this week with RJ Harvey leading the way on the ground and Franklin through the air.

- The Colts’ red-zone run defense ranks dead last at limiting offensive success on the ground, while the Texans’ red-zone rushing offense also ranks dead last at rushing success rate (17.9%).
- Considering how bad the Texans’ rushing success has been in the red zone this year – nearly 10 percentage points worse than the next closest team – we’d expect the Colts to win that battle most of the time.

- The Texans have spent the fewest amount of snaps defending the red zone this season, while the Colts have spent the second-most amount of snaps in the red zone (132) and have found success at a top-five rate (39.4%).
- Jonathan Taylor was held out of the endzone last week. We shouldn’t expect that to be the case for much longer and should bounce back this week in a neutral matchup.

- The Chargers have been among the best red-zone defenses in the league at defending the pass, though they have shown some vulnerability defending the run, tying for the third-most red-zone rushing touchdowns against (10).
- Ashton Jeanty has been the clear top option to bet on with this Raiders offense at the moment, as he’s scored two of the team’s three red-zone touchdowns over the last two games.

- The Raiders have played the second-most amount of snaps defending the red zone this season, though they’ve been better than expected, ranking top-10 at limiting offensive success rate (30.9%) in that area of the field.
- Omarion Hampton has a shot to return this week, which would likely put him as the favorite on the ground in the red zone, while Oronde Gadsden has quietly led the team in red-zone targets in recent weeks, though he hasn’t scored since Week 8. Still, he’ll get more opportunities to take advantage of his usage this week.

- New Orleans really only has one clear option as a receiver, which is Chris Olave, though Taysom Hill took a team-leading five red-zone carries last week, making him a sneaky bet to find the end zone, assuming that Alvin Kamara is out.

- Bucky Irving looks set to return this week, putting him back as a top bet to score as he dominated the red-zone carries through the first four weeks of the year when he was healthy. Irving may be eased back into the lineup, though his involvement should lower the impact that Sean Tucker and Rachaad White have this week.
