Washington Commanders wide receiver
Terry McLaurin has played in only five games this season due to a quad injury, but he had an outstanding game in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Even on limited snaps, McLaurin recorded seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on a team-leading 14 targets in Washington's overtime loss. The Commanders' top wideout last played in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs, where he also played limited snaps but made his presence known with three catches (four targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown. McLaurin has had an unfortunate season plagued by injuries, but he will look to close out the season on a high note. He also could be getting second-year quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) back next week against the Minnesota Vikings.

Washington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz hauled in 10 catches for 106 yards on 14 targets in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Ertz led Washington in catches and yards in a wild game that came down to the wire. The veteran's performance against the Broncos on Sunday night marked the second game with 10+ catches and 100+ receiving yards since joining the Commanders last year, with the other being the NFC Championship against his former team in the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz has continued to be ultra productive in his age-35 season, totaling 39 receptions for 387 yards and four touchdowns on 57 targets in 11 games this season.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Marcus Mariota completed 28 of 50 passes for 294 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding 10 carries for 55 yards in a 27-26 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Mariota attempted a career-high 50 passes as Washington ran 85 total plays in the game and played well for the most part. The veteran connected with
Treylon Burks for a five-yard touchdown on an unbelievable one-handed catch in the third quarter, then found
Terry McLaurin for a three-yard touchdown in overtime to bring Washington within one point of the Broncos, but they ultimately failed the two-point conversion to win the game. Still, it was an encouraging outing for Mariota and the Washington offense against an elite Denver defense. Mariota could make another start next week against the Minnesota Vikings if
Jayden Daniels (elbow) is unable to return.

December 1, 2025
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Alec Pierce collected four catches for 78 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. Pierce led the Colts in receiving and had an impressive contested touchdown grab in the corner of the end zone for the Colts' first touchdown of the day, but it was an otherwise tough day offensively against an elite Houston defense. The 25-year-old has had a breakout season in his fourth year, totaling 33 receptions for 689 yards and two touchdowns on 59 targets in 10 games this season. For the second straight season, Pierce is currently leading the league in yards per reception, averaging 20.9 in 2025. In a crowded Colts pass-catcher room, Pierce has emerged as a reliable fantasy option and projects favorably again in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Buffalo Bills leaned heavily on running back
James Cook in their 26-7 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Cook handled a career high 32 carries for 144 yards to go along with three receptions (three targets) for a team-leading 33 receiving yards. The 26-year-old did it all for the Bills in a much-needed bounce-back win, and he continues to have an outstanding season after receiving a four-year, $48 million contract extension in the offseason. Cook has seen more work as a receiver lately as well, recording 14 receptions (14 targets) for 136 yards and a touchdown in his last four games. In the first eight games, he totaled 13 receptions (15 targets) for 100 yards and no touchdowns as a receiver. Cook will remain one of the best running backs in fantasy in a dream matchup next week against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Brooklyn Nets point guard
Egor Demin (foot) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's clash against the Charlotte Hornets. He sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks due to a foot problem.
Tyrese Martin started in his spot, finishing with nine points and six rebounds in 24 minutes. Martin may retain his starting role on Monday because
Terance Mann (ribs) might miss the game. In his last appearance against the Philadelphia 76ers, Demin had the best game of his young NBA career, scoring 23 points and recording nine rebounds, five assists, one steal, and two blocks. Monday could be another big night for him, as Charlotte allows the 10th-most fantasy points in the league to point guards.

November 30, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (hand) broke a bone in his left hand during his team's Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and is scheduled to undergo a procedure on Monday. However, Herbert said he is "treating it as if I'm playing" when asked about his status for the team's Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. On the bright side, Herbert will have an extra day of rest as the Chargers play the Eagles on Monday Night Football. However, Herbert will almost certainly be compromised to some degree if he's able to play at all against Philadelphia. Herbert completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Las Vegas. If he ends up not being able to play against the Eagles, backup quarterback
Trey Lance would be in line to make the start. Even if Herbert is active, fantasy managers in single-QB formats may want to look elsewhere at the quarterback position in Week 14.

November 30, 2025
Brooklyn Nets guard/forward
Terance Mann (ribs) has been tagged as questionable on the injury report ahead of Monday's meet-up with the Charlotte Hornets. The 25-year-old played through a rib injury on Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks but struggled, shooting 2-for-8 from the field to finish with four points in 21 minutes. Mann's exit from the lineup would give additional playing opportunities for players like
Drake Powell and
Tyrese Martin. The returning
Egor Demin (foot) will also benefit and is likely to replace Mann in the starting lineup.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) was forced to exit early from his team's Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans after suffering a calf strain. Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports that Gardner's injury has "been described as a mild calf strain" and that it will "likely sideline him for a couple of weeks." Gardner's injury initially looked as though it could be potentially season-ending, so the diagnosis is a positive one overall. Still, Indianapolis has lost three out of its last four games and may now be without its star cornerback for crucial games against the Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks over the next two weeks. Entering Week 13, Pro Football Focus had graded Gardner as the 12th-best corner in the NFL out of 108 qualified players at the position for his work this season. If all goes according to plan, it appears Gardner may be on track to return in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.
--Will BradySource: Fox Sports - Jordan Schultz
November 30, 2025
Brooklyn Nets forward/center
Noah Clowney (hip) is listed as probable for Monday's encounter with the Charlotte Hornets. The 21-year-old is on the injury report due to a hip issue, but it doesn't appear to be severe enough to keep Clowney off the floor. On Saturday against the Milwaukee Bucks, Clowney managed only six points and one rebound in 21 minutes. But he has been on a strong stretch overall recently, averaging close to 18 points over his past six outings.

November 30, 2025
Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride continued his run of dominant play in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, recording eight catches for 82 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 88 receptions for 879 yards and eight touchdowns on 118 targets across 12 games played this season. McBride's numbers have been particularly eye-popping since quarterback
Jacoby Brissett took over for the injured
Kyler Murray (foot) in Arizona. Across Brissett's seven starts, McBride is averaging 8.4 receptions and 86.3 receiving yards on 10.9 targets per game. He's also scored seven touchdowns in that span. As long as McBride remains healthy, he profiles as the number one tight end in fantasy football. Arizona will host the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14.
--Will BradySource: ESPN.com
November 30, 2025
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (back) is on track to return from a two-game absence on Monday against the Charlotte Hornets, as the team considers him probable for the matchup. Porter Jr. has been dealing with a back issue, allowing
Ziaire Williams to log a couple of starts. On Monday, Williams will drop back to the bench to make room in the first unit for Brooklyn's top scorer. Porter Jr. is averaging 24.3 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.0 assists for the season. He has been even more productive in his most recent outings, surpassing the 30-point plateau twice in five games.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Caris LeVert (knee) will likely return to the lineup on Monday against the Atlanta Hawks after the team listed him as probable for the game. The former Hawk missed Saturday's clash against the Miami Heat with a sore knee. It was the second leg of a back-to-back, so the team was probably only resting the veteran. On Monday, LeVert could receive a chance to start because
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is iffy for the contest. In Motown, LeVert has so far come exclusively off the bench, averaging 9.6 points and 3.0 assists in 20.1 minutes per game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Houston Texans wide receiver
Nico Collins bounced back from his quiet game in Week 12 with a monster showing in his team's Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 26-year-old hauled in five catches for 98 yards on 10 targets and also recorded a seven-yard rushing touchdown. Collins has now hauled in 57 catches for 795 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets across 11 games this season. Dating back to Week 7, Collins has earned double-digit targets in five out of his last six games played. He clearly has the full trust of Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud, who returned in Week 13 after missing two games with a concussion. Houston has also played much better football overall in the second half of the season, as they have now won four consecutive games. Collins profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver heading into a critical Week 14 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
--Will BradySource: ESPN.com
November 30, 2025
Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is considered questionable for Monday's Eastern Conference showdown against the Atlanta Hawks. Robinson produced a nice revenge-game performance in Saturday's win over the Miami Heat, but he apparently also injured his right ankle.
Ron Holland II or
Caris LeVert (knee) could get a chance to start on Monday if Robinson doesn't play, with
Jaden Ivey and
Daniss Jenkins potentially also benefiting from his absence. Robinson has averaged over 32 minutes per night as a starter for the Pistons, so there will be a significant amount of minutes to fill in the rotation without him.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Devaughn Vele had a breakout game in his team's Week 13 loss to the Miami Dolphins, recording eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. Vele was acquired by New Orleans from the Denver Broncos before the start of the 2025 season. He spent most of the early portion of the year buried on the team's depth chart, recording just five targets over his first six games. However, New Orleans traded away wideout
Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline and released veteran wide receiver
Brandin Cooks in late November. In recent weeks, Vele appears to be ascending into his team's WR2 role alongside
Chris Olave. He's now recorded 23 targets over his last five games, including consecutive weeks with at least seven targets. Given his emergent role in New Orleans, Vele could be worth a look on the waiver wire in deeper fantasy leagues heading into a Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
--Will BradySource: ESPN.com
November 30, 2025
Detroit Pistons center
Jalen Duren (leg) is labeled as probable on the injury report for a game against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday night. Detroit's double-double machine was unavailable when the team completed a back-to-back on Saturday against the Miami Heat.
Isaiah Stewart had a quiet outing as Duren's replacement in the starting lineup and will be back on the bench on Monday. Duren missed a double-double in his first meeting with the Hawks this season but had one of his highest scoring games of the campaign, netting 24 points with an 8-for-12 effort from the field. As a result of Duren's return,
Paul Reed will likely play a miniscule role on Monday, despite his impressive double-double performance against Miami.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers was one of the lone bright spots from his team's 31-14 Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, hauling in four catches for 63 yards and two touchdowns on four targets. The 22-year-old has now recorded 49 receptions for 573 yards and five scores on 68 targets across nine games this season. In the team's first game with Greg Olson calling plays instead of Chip Kelly, Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith attempted just 23 passes, his fewest in a game since Week 7. The diminished pass volume is a big reason why Bowers saw just four targets, which is his second-fewest in any game this season. However, Las Vegas ran for just 31 yards against Los Angeles, so they may be forced to turn to the air more frequently in the coming weeks. As long as Bowers stays healthy, he profiles as a must-start tight end heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Denver Broncos.
--Will BradySource: ESPN.com
November 30, 2025
Washington Wizards center
Alexandre Sarr (adductor) has picked up a questionable tag ahead of Monday's contest against the Milwaukee Bucks. The French big man is dealing with a sore adductor muscle. Monday marks the start of a back-to-back for Washington, so it appears likely that at least one absence is coming for Sarr at the start of the new week. His exit from the lineup would probably give Marvin Bagley a fresh opportunity to start. Bagley made his first start of the campaign on Nov. 19 against the Minnesota Timberwolves, finishing with 13 points, seven rebounds, three assists, three steals, and one block.
Tristan Vukcevic could also see more action with Sarr out.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Phoenix Suns center
Mark Williams (calf) has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's clash against the Los Angeles Lakers. The injury-prone big man missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Denver Nuggets. So far this season, Williams has sat out one game in each of the Suns' back-to-back situations. He has had no issues getting through the rest of the schedule, averaging 12.9 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 1.3 steals in 25.5 minutes. On Monday, Williams will go for a fourth consecutive double-double and certainly has a point to prove after his failed trade to the Lakers last season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Phoenix Suns forward
Ryan Dunn (wrist) appears ready to return to action on Monday against the Los Angeles Lakers, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. Dunn hasn't played for five games due to a wrist injury. Before he sprained his right wrist, Dunn made three consecutive starts, filling in for
Grayson Allen. Allen has just returned from injury, meaning we will likely see Dunn re-enter the Suns rotation as part of the second unit. As a reserve, Dunn has averaged only 5.8 points and 4.0 rebounds this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's matchup against the Los Angeles Clippers. He could miss a second consecutive contest due to a right groin strain. Jaquez Jr. has impressed this season, producing 16.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 5.3 assists per game off the Miami bench.
Pelle Larsson and
Kel'el Ware led the second unit on Saturday against the Detroit Pistons.
Simone Fontecchio is in a position to log more action without Jaquez Jr. available, but he didn't see the floor in Saturday's game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf) is not listed on the injury report for Monday's contest against the Orlando Magic. White missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers. He hasn't played on consecutive nights since making his season debut in the middle of November. While he has been dealing with some efficiency issues, White's overall productivity has been good, as the 25-year-old has averaged 24.2 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 6.2 assists in 30.6 minutes. Orlando has recently improved its defense, now ranking ninth in the league for defensive efficiency, making this potentially a tricky matchup for White.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) won't be returning to the lineup on Monday against the Chicago Bulls. He has been ruled out for a ninth consecutive game. The Magic star is recovering from a left groin strain, and the team hasn't announced a timetable for his return. In his absence,
Tristan da Silva figures to receive another start. The 24-year-old has lost momentum recently, posting double-digit points only once in the past four games. Overall, da Silva has averaged 12.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 1.9 assists in a starting role this season.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers forward/center
Larry Nance Jr. (calf) will miss 3-4 weeks, the team announced on Sunday. The veteran sustained a Grade 1 soleus strain in Friday's loss to the Atlanta Hawks. As a backup, Nance Jr. is averaging 3.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 15.0 minutes per game this season. With
Jarrett Allen (finger) also exiting the lineup on Sunday and ruled out for around a week,
Evan Mobley will be in for a busy time in the Cavaliers frontcourt. He led the team in scoring with 27 points and had 14 rebounds in Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Boston Celtics.
--Taavi PailkSource: Cleveland Cavaliers
November 30, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (finger) will be sidelined for approximately one week, the team announced on Sunday. Allen is dealing with a finger injury, missing four of the last five games. It is now clear that he will sit out at least four more matchups. Cleveland's frontcourt has also lost
Larry Nance Jr. (calf) for several weeks, creating opportunities in the lineup for
Thomas Bryant and
Nae'Qwan Tomlin. The latter made a positive impact in Sunday's 117-115 loss to the Boston Celtics, leading his team with a plus-19 rating in 22 minutes. Tomlin finished with seven points, two rebounds, and one steal.
--Taavi PailkSource: Cleveland Cavaliers
November 30, 2025
Denver Nuggets center
Nikola Jokic (wrist) is on the injury report with a probable designation for Monday's tilt against
Anthony Davis (calf) and the Dallas Mavericks. The Serbian superstar continues to nurse a left wrist sprain, but it looks like he will play through the injury again. Jokic hasn't yet skipped any games this season and is once again averaging a triple-double. He has posted 28.9 points, 12.4 rebounds, and 10.9 assists per game. Impressively, Jokic didn't miss a single shot from the field on Saturday night against the Phoenix Suns, going 7-for-7 during a 26-point effort in a 130-112 win.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward/center
Anthony Davis (calf) will likely return to the lineup on Monday against the Denver Nuggets, as the team has listed him as probable on the injury report. After coming back from a calf injury on Friday night against the Los Angeles Lakers, Davis skipped the second leg on a back-to-back on Saturday versus the Los Angeles Clippers. In his return, Davis had 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 28 minutes.
Dwight Powell took Davis' starting spot on Saturday and will drop back to the bench on Monday.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward/center
Giannis Antetokounmpo (adductor) is listed as probable for Monday's meeting with the Washington Wizards. The former MVP is managing a left adductor injury but is expected to remain in the lineup. Antetokounmpo should be fresh for the game after playing only 19 minutes in Saturday's blowout win over the Brooklyn Nets. Despite seeing limited action, Antetokounmpo still had 29 points in the contest and missed a double-double by just two rebounds. In his first meeting with the Wizards this season, Antetokounmpo went for a 37-point, 14-rebound double-double in just 27 minutes.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert (hand) could be in jeopardy of missing some time after suffering an injury on Sunday. According to Adam Schefter, Herbert suffered a fractured left hand during the Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The team is uncertain if Herbert is going to miss any action right now. The 27-year-old is set to undergo surgery on Monday, so the team will give a better timetable throughout the week. Herbert completed 15-of-20 passing attempts for 151 yards with two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's win. However, this could be the last time fantasy managers get to use Herbert with the playoffs looming. At the moment,
Trey Lance is the backup, so he figures to start if Herbert sits out during the Week 14 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Fantasy managers will need to check back throughout the week for more updates on his status.
