Seems strange to me that the flight is F3 with 13 unassigned F seats....oversold situation potentially? I wouldn't object to a cabin rollforward as I'd think I'd be high on the list.
It's likely AA has reduced the number of F seats its willing to sell to potentially sell more J seats and like you said, roll some passengers forward. The other explanation is that some passengers in F may just not have selected their seats yet.
