Cleveland Browns running back
Jerome Ford (hamstring), who was listed as questionable to play in Week 13, is officially active for Sunday's game against the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Ford will suit up this weekend, but fantasy managers are in some serious trouble if they are forced to play the 26-year-old in starting lineups. He was out-snapped by rookie
Dylan Sampson in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders in the No. 2 role behind rookie
Quinshon Judkins, carrying the ball just once for a loss of three yards. Ford has seen exactly one rushing attempt in each of the last three games, and he hasn't had more than two carries in a game since Oct. 5 against the Minnesota Vikings. With both Judkins and Sampson healthy, Ford is unlikely to see much work out of Cleveland's backfield against San Fran in inclement weather conditions.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) is officially active for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Theo Mackie of AZCentral.com. Knight was a limited participant every day in practice this week, but there weren't any real doubts about his status for Sunday. He should be expected to lead the Arizona backfield in touches, with
Michael Carter also playing a sizable role, as both
Trey Benson (knee) and
Emari Demercado (ankle) were ruled out. The 24-year-old has scored in back-to-back weeks, totaling 23 touches for 77 yards from scrimmage in that time. Knight projects as a low-end RB3/FLEX in Week 13 against the Bucs.

Tennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo (foot) is officially active on Sunday versus the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13. Okonkwo will continue to play through a nagging foot injury that he's dealt with since late October. The Titans will also be getting rookie receiver
Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) back after he missed last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Ayomanor's return is not good news for Okonkwo, who has 35 receptions on 46 targets for 377 yards and no touchdowns on the season. Okonkwo shouldn't be viewed as much more than a TE3 in fantasy football as he continues to share snaps pretty evenly with rookie
Gunnar Helm in one of the worst offenses in the NFL. He has gone over 50 receiving yards just three times in 11 games in 2025.

As expected, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is active for Sunday's divisional clash against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 13. A hamstring injury caused Ayomanor to miss the first game of his career in last Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but he'll be back this weekend. The 22-year-old will be in play as a low-end WR4/flex for fantasy managers in his return. Remember,
Calvin Ridley (leg) will miss the rest of the year with a broken fibula. The fourth-rounder will get his opportunities to close out his first season in the NFL, but his ceiling is on the low side in one of the worst offenses in football. Through his first 10 games, Ayomanor has a 28-334-2 line on 59 targets. His return will make fellow rookie
Chimere Dike a little less attractive as a deep-league flex option. Ayomanor has gone over 50 receiving yards just once in his last eight games, and he hasn't scored since Sept. 21 against the Colts.

November 30, 2025
New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave (back) is officially active for Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, according to Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. Olave was dealing with back spasms earlier in the week and missed Thursday's practice, but was expected to still suit up and is now officially active. The 25-year-old has had a strong season so far, recording 69 receptions for 734 yards and four touchdowns on 108 targets in 11 games. Olave ranks as RotoBaller's WR18 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

November 30, 2025
Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller (pectoral), who was activated from Injured Reserve on Saturday, is officially active for Sunday's contest against the visiting New Orleans Saints in Week 13. Waller is ready to return after missing four games due to a pectoral strain. The 33-year-old veteran's return will mean less playing time for
Greg Dulcich, who had become a stash option for fantasy managers in deep leagues. Waller should become one of quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa's top targets in the passing game again with receiver
Tyreek Hill (knee) out for the year, but fantasy managers will want to be wary about starting him right away in his first game back. Waller has only played in four games in 2025 after coming out of retirement, so there's a good chance Miami will limit his snaps this Sunday. He should be stashed in most formats, though, after he had four touchdown receptions on 10 catches earlier this year.

Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end
Tyler Warren (illness) is officially active for the Week 13 divisional clash on Sunday against the visiting Houston Texans, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Warren was a late addition to this week's injury report on Saturday and was listed as questionable due to an illness. The 23-year-old might not be 100% himself for Sunday's game, but fantasy managers need to leave him in their starting lineups as one of the team's top pass-catchers in 2025. Warren enters Week 13 action with 55 receptions for 662 yards and three touchdowns on 74 targets. He is second on the team in both catches and targets, and leads the Colts in receiving yards through 12 weeks. Although the matchup isn't great against the No. 1 defense in the NFL, Warren is still firmly inside the top 10 at the TE position in fantasy football.

Updating a previous report, Pittsburgh Steelers veteran quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) has been cleared to play on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the future Hall of Fame signal-caller will be playing through at least three fractures in his left (non-throwing) wrist. Rodgers' main wrist fracture was non-displaced, though, which means he was able to avoid surgery. He will be back on the field in Week 13 after sitting out the team's Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. Rapoport reports that Rodgers has gained even more respect in Pittsburgh because of how he's handled this injury. Rodgers' left-wrist fractures shouldn't really affect him throwing the football, but he could have difficulty taking snaps under center on Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider him a low-end QB2/high-end QB3 against the visiting Bills.

November 30, 2025
Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) was ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, but he has a chance to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. After dislocating his left elbow in Washington's Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Daniels was a limited participant every day in practice this week and will have an opportunity to return after missing just four games. Daniels has expressed the desire to return to action despite the Commanders' 3-8 record and after dealing with knee and hamstring injuries earlier in the year.
Marcus Mariota will continue filling in as Washington's starter until Daniels is able to return.

Denver Broncos defensive back Talanoa Hufanga (illness) is under the weather and is now considered questionable to play in Week 13 against the hosting Washington Commanders on Sunday Night Football due to an illness, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. Hufanga could be a game-time decision for the late game on Sunday evening. The 25-year-old has managed to stay healthy in 2025 in his first year in Denver and is having a fine season, recording 76 tackles (44 solo), nine pass breakups, and a forced fumble in 11 starts, putting him in play in IDP fantasy formats. However, he could miss the team's first game coming out of their bye week, which would leave the Broncos' secondary a little bit more vulnerable. Still, Denver's defense/special teams unit should be considered a must-start in fantasy against backup quarterback
Marcus Mariota and Washington.

The University of Florida is expected to hire Tulane's Jon Sumrall as its next head coach, according to On3Sports. Sumrall earned his first head-coaching gig after spending three seasons on the Kentucky defensive staff under Mark Stoops, and has tallied a 42-11 record in two seasons apiece at Troy and Tulane. The 43-year-old won back-to-back Sun Belt titles with the Trojans and has led the Green Wave to consecutive American Conference Championship games. Tulane has a path to the College Football Playoff with a win over North Texas next week, but it could be competing without its head coach. Sumrall is set to take over for Billy Napier, who compiled a 22-23 record in four seasons with the Gators.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver
Jayden Higgins earned a season high of nine targets in last week's win over the Buffalo Bills, recording four receptions for 38 yards and a touchdown. Higgins could have had a much bigger day, but just narrowly missed on a few passes from quarterback
Davis Mills. The rookie has emerged as a legitimate No. 2 option for Houston opposite
Nico Collins, securing at least four catches in five of the last seven games. Higgins will look to continue his promising production in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts, with
C.J. Stroud (concussion) making his return after missing the last three games. With his expanding role and growing target share, Higgins is a viable flex option in 12-team leagues for Week 13 and beyond.

Former USF head coach Alex Golesh has agreed to become the next head coach of the Auburn Tigers, according to On3Sports. Golesh has been a hot name this offseason after three successful seasons with the Bulls. He took over the program after a 1-11 2022 campaign and tallied a 23-15 record over the last three seasons, including two bowl-game wins and a 9-3 season in 2025. Golesh worked under Josh Heupel at UCF (2020) and Tennessee (2021-22) as his offensive coordinator. The 41-year-old is set to take over for Hugh Freeze, who was fired during the season after starting his Auburn career 15-19 despite having a strong roster in 2025. Golesh is expected to bring an explosive offense with him, something that has been lacking on The Plains since the end of the Gus Malzahn tenure.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Darnell Mooney scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, hauling in all three targets for 74 yards. It was also Mooney's most receiving yards in a game this season as he took advantage of star wide receiver
Drake London (knee) being sidelined. With London ruled out again for Week 13, Mooney should be in line to lead the Atlanta passing attack again versus the New York Jets. The 28-year-old has a solid rapport with quarterback
Kirk Cousins and should be able to exploit a Jets defense that traded away its two best defenders at the deadline. Mooney ranks as RotoBaller's WR32 in PPR formats for Week 13.

November 30, 2025
The Atlanta Falcons defense/special teams will be in position to keep rolling in Week 13 as they take on a Jets team featuring
Tyrod Taylor at quarterback and averaging just 17 points per game over the last three weeks. The Falcons have been getting after opposing QBs as of late, recording five sacks or more in each of the last four games, and have notched three interceptions and three fumble recoveries over that stretch. This unit will be without S Billy Bowman Jr. (Achilles) and DE Zach Harrison (knee), but that was the case last week as well, so the defense has managed to play well despite injuries. It all makes Atlanta a viable streaming option this week, especially in a game with one of the lowest expected totals on the slate (38.5).

According to On3Sports, Arkansas is expected to name Ryan Silverfield as its next head coach. Silverfield has spent the last six seasons as the head coach of the Memphis Tigers after taking over as the interim head coach for one game in 2019. Before 2019, he spent time on the Memphis offensive staff and had experience at the high school and NFL levels earlier in his career. The 45-year-old has tallied a 50-25 record and has won four consecutive bowl games. Arkansas fired former head coach Sam Pittman following a blowout loss to Notre Dame in September, and its coaching search looks to be reaching its conclusion.

Los Angeles Rams tight end
Colby Parkinson is riding a three-game touchdown streak and has recorded 10 receptions (11 targets) for 96 yards over that span as the team's top tight end. With
Tyler Higbee (ankle) on Injured Reserve, Parkinson has taken over as the top tight end in a potent Rams offense. He has firmly established himself as a relevant option for fantasy, totaling the third most PPR points among tight ends in the last three games. The 26-year-old should be considered as a streamer again in Week 13 against a Carolina Panthers defense that has allowed the second-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends this season.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 30, 2025
Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end
Tyler Warren (illness) is expected to play on Sunday against the Houston Texans, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Warren is listed as questionable as he battled a stomach virus, but all indications are that the rookie will be able to go for a key divisional game. The 23-year-old has excelled in his first 11 games in the NFL, securing 55 of his 74 targets for 662 yards and three touchdowns, averaging 13.3 PPR points per game. He will likely be relied on heavily again in Week 13 against the Texans and should be started in all fantasy formats.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Tom Pelissero
November 30, 2025
Washington Commanders running back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. has operated as part of a committee in recent weeks after not having a major role early in the season. The third-year back holds a narrow lead in rush attempts over rookie
Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the past three games, recording 33 carries for 160 yards and two touchdowns compared to Croskey-Merritt with 32 rushes for 96 yards and no touchdowns. Rodriguez is the better fit down near the goal line with his ability to fight through tackles and consistently gain positive yardage. His upside for fantasy is capped a bit by his lack of involvement in the pass game, as
Jeremy McNichols has handled that role for the bulk of the season, but Rodriguez holds weekly touchdown upside and should lead Washington's backfield in carries for the remainder of the season. However, it's a tough Week 13 matchup against a Denver Broncos defense that is allowing a league-best 3.6 yards per carry this season.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 30, 2025
Atlanta Falcons kicker
Zane Gonzalez went 3-for-3 on field goals last week, including nailing one from 56 yards out, and is now 6-for-6 in three games as the team's place kicker. The 30-year-old is also perfect on extra points, going 6-for-6 over the three-game stretch. The team's third kicker this season has appeared to have brought some stability to the position, and will look to stay perfect on the road against the Jets in Week 13. He could have to deal with light rain in East Rutherford, but in a game with a low expected total (38.5) with the potential for stalled drives, Gonzalez could see a couple opportunities to convert field goals. Even so, the Arizona State product projects well outside the top 12, so there could be better options available in games with higher totals and/or being played indoors.
--Jarod RuppSource: ESPN
November 30, 2025
Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Chimere Dike hauled in his second touchdown of the season in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, finishing with five receptions for 44 yards on seven targets. His seven targets were tied for the team lead with rookie tight end
Gunnar Helm. Since Week 7, Dike has emerged as a legitimate threat as a receiver for the Titans, leading the team with 19 receptions for 226 yards and two touchdowns on 24 targets, averaging 10.7 PPR points per game in that five-game span. The rookie fourth-rounder has been dynamic with the ball in his hands, including as a return man, where he leads the league in all-purpose yards and with two punt return touchdowns. With rookie quarterback
Cameron Ward also showing positive signs lately, Dike has flex appeal in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and ranks as RotoBaller's WR44 in PPR formats.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 30, 2025
New York Jets wide receiver
John Metchie III has performed well since being acquired at the trade deadline from the Philadelphia Eagles. Excluding his first game in New York where he only played eight offensive snaps, Metchie has recorded nine receptions for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets while playing 84.5% of the snaps. The 25-year-old has more than doubled the next closest Jets pass catcher in receiving yards in the past two games, with fellow trade acquisition
Adonai Mitchell the next closest at 52 yards. With
Garrett Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve, Metchie has the runway to lead the Jets' passing attack over the next few weeks. The offense was more functional last week with
Tyrod Taylor under center, though it's still not a good offensive environment. Metchie has flex value in deeper leagues for Week 13 versus the Atlanta Falcons, ranking as RotoBaller's WR49 in PPR leagues.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 30, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) has been sidelined since Week 7 after suffering a broken collarbone during their loss to the Detroit Lions. Evans was expected to miss most of the remainder of the season with the injury, but head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he is on track to return before the end of the regular season. The veteran is eligible to have his practice window opened, but that hasn't happened just yet. Evans collected 14 receptions (32 targets) for 140 yards and a touchdown in the four games before going down and should reclaim his role as Tampa Bay's No. 1 wideout if he can return at some point. It's still unclear when Evans will return, but he is worth adding and stashing in leagues where he was dropped as more information comes out about his status.
--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
November 30, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Brenton Strange hauled in all five of his targets for a career-high 93 yards in his return from injury in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. It was encouraging to see Strange return to a full snap share and look healthy after being sidelined since Week 5 due to a hip injury. The third-year tight end has been solid in six games of action this season, averaging 4.2 receptions for 49.5 receiving yards on 4.8 targets per game. Strange will have more competition for targets on Sunday against the Titans with
Brian Thomas Jr. returning, but he still projects as a solid option. Strange ranks as RotoBaller's TE12 in PPR leagues for Week 13.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 30, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers running back
Kimani Vidal gave fantasy managers a dud during the Week 11 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Vidal rushed the ball five times for 13 yards in the defeat. To be fair, the Chargers were getting blown out, so they basically had to abandon the rushing game. Vidal should return to his workhorse workload with
Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and
Omarion Hampton (ankle) both sidelined in Week 13. He'll draw a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders defense this weekend. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging Vidal in as an RB2 for this Week 13 matchup.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller (pectoral) has been activated off the injured reserve ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Waller is ready to return to action after being sidelined since suffering a pectoral injury in Week 6. When healthy, Waller was a viable asset with four touchdowns over his first three games with the team. The expectation is that Waller will return to being a red-zone threat for the team this weekend. There is no word of the Dolphins easing Waller back into action. That being said, Waller should be a full-go and viewed as high-end TE2 for Week 13.
--Andy WebbSource: Pro Football Reference
November 30, 2025
Seattle Seahawks running back
Myles Gaskin was recently re-signed to the practice squad earlier in the week. Now, Gaskin will be signed to the active roster ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Seahawks are in need of another running back with
George Holani (hamstring) heading to the injured reserve. Gaskin hasn't actually seen a rushing attempt since the 2024 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old will serve as a depth option behind
Kenneth Walker III and
Zach Charbonnet.

Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Broderick Jones (neck) has officially been placed on the injured reserve. Jones will now miss at least the next four games due to a neck injury he suffered during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. This is a tough blow to the Steelers as Jones was playing well as their starting left tackle. He was a former first-round pick of the team from 2023, but will hopefully be back in the mix before the end of the season. The expectation is that Andrus Peat will take over as the starting left tackle for the Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.
--Andy WebbSource: Adam Schefter
November 30, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Jalen McMillan (neck) was cleared by a spine specialist this week. That means, McMillan should be able to begin practicing as early as this upcoming week. The 23-year-old has been sidelined all season due to multiple broken bones in his neck. The hope is that McMillan will be able to contribute to this Bucs roster at some point. Once his practice window is opened, the Bucs will have 21 days to activate McMillan before he goes back to the injured reserve. It's unclear at the moment how much time he's going to need to get ready to play again. For now, McMillan isn't anything more than a possible deep league stash or dynasty hold.
--Andy WebbSource: Ian Rapoport
November 30, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is set to start against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Rodgers plans to suit up despite having multiple broken bones in his left (non-throwing) wrist. He sat out last week's game which forced
Mason Rudolph into the starting role against the Chicago Bears. It appears Rodgers is feeling good enough to play after a week to rest. The injury shouldn't impact his throwing ability, but Rodgers isn't a great fantasy option anyway. He should be viewed on the lower end of QB2s for this weekend.
