Miami Dolphins running back
Ollie Gordon II could see a larger role in this rushing attack coming out of the bye week. In Week 11, Gordon rushed the ball nine times for 45 yards and scored a touchdown in the win over the Washington Commanders. The rookie back saw a season-high 39 percent of the offensive snaps during that contest. His nine touches on the ground also tied for the second-most Gordon has seen this season. The rookie back has proven to be a viable option when given the chances in this offense. He could see an expanded role in the offense when the Dolphins take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The 21-year-old could be worth a stash in deep leagues heading into this matchup.

The Tampa Bay Rays are re-signing outfielder
Jake Fraley to a one-year, $3 million deal on Tuesday, according to Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. The Rays claimed Fraley off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Nov. 6 before designating him for assignment last week. The left-handed-hitting outfielder hit a combined .241/.332/.382 with a .714 OPS, six home runs, 23 RBI, 31 runs scored, and four stolen bases in 76 games with the Braves and Cincinnati Reds in 2025. It's highly unlikely that the oft-injured Fraley becomes much more than a platoon outfielder for the Rays in 2026. In his seven big-league seasons, the 30-year-old has a .508 OPS against left-handed pitchers. Fraley's high-water mark came in 2023 with the Reds, when he hit a career-high 15 home runs, drove in 65, and stole 21 bases in 111 games. Fantasy managers in mixed leagues can likely ignore him next year.

New York Rangers forward J.T. Miller (upper body) is traveling with the team for a brief two-game road trip, Peter Baugh of The Athletic reports. The Rangers captain has missed a pair of games due to an upper-body injury. However, the fact that Miller is with the team for the road team suggests he may be ready to return in the next couple of games. Mike Sullivan's team faces Carolina on Wednesday night before taking on Boston on Friday. Miller has had a disappointing campaign with the Rangers, scoring six goals and 12 points in 22 games while going minus-seven. During Miller's absence, Jonny Brodzinski has had increased fantasy value as a top-six member, collecting an assist in Monday's 3-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues.

Colorado Avalanche left wing Joel Kiviranta (lower body) is poised to return to the lineup from a 17-game absence on Wednesday against the San Jose Sharks. Kiviranta made only five appearances at the start of the season before landing on the shelf for more than a month. He has no points this season. During his time in Denver, Kiviranta has proven to be a valuable asset on the penalty kill while primarily playing in a bottom-six role. However, due to his limited role, the Finnish forward has no fantasy value.

Edmonton Oilers forward Ryan Nugent-Hopkins (undisclosed) will remain out on Tuesday against the Dallas Stars but is expected to rejoin the lineup later this week. On Monday, Nugent-Hopkins practiced for the first time since sustaining an undisclosed injury in a loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Nov. 9. He will miss a ninth consecutive game on Tuesday, but Nugent-Hopkins looks set to return to the lineup for Saturday's tilt against the Seattle Kraken. Nugent-Hopkins has averaged a point per game in 16 outings this season, posting five goals and 11 assists. Once he is cleared to play, Nugent-Hopkins will be in contention for a top-six role and a spot on the first power-play unit.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Kalif Raymond (ankle) missed his second practice of the week on Tuesday due to an ankle injury, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. It's looking like Raymond won't be able to play on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday when the division-rival Green Bay Packers come to town after he hurt his ankle in Sunday's overtime victory over the New York Giants. If he is unable to practice on Wednesday, Raymond will almost certainly be ruled out for Week 13, which would open up more snaps for rookie third-rounder
Isaac TeSlaa. The 31-year-old Raymond has had a limited role in Detroit's offense in his fifth year with the team, catching only 15 of 19 targets for 150 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games played. He caught both of his targets in Week 12 for 37 yards, his second-best yardage output of the year.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is dealing with a hand injury and has been limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard. TeSlaa only has four receptions in 11 games played in his first NFL season, but two of those grabs came in the end zone for Detroit. The 23-year-old third-rounder out of Arkansas has played through an oblique issue recently as well, but he should be good to go for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day tilt against the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 13. Fellow wideout
Kalif Raymond (ankle) is in danger of being inactive after two missed practices already this week, so it's possible that TeSlaa could have an expanded role for the Lions. Still, TeSlaa would be an incredibly risky fantasy option. He hasn't caught a pass since Nov. 9 and hasn't seen more than two looks in a game in 2025.

November 25, 2025
Detroit Lions tight end
Brock Wright (neck) injured his neck in Sunday's overtime win over the New York Giants and has missed two practices this week. Wright will probably need to practice in some capacity on Wednesday to avoid being ruled out entirely. With
Sam LaPorta (back) going on Injured Reserve, Wright has operated as the team's top pass-catching tight end the last two weeks, but it has amounted to only five catches for 37 yards on 11 targets. If the 26-year-old is ruled out for Thursday's game versus the division-rival Green Bay Packers,
Ross Dwelley figures to see an expanded role for Detroit at the TE position. Fantasy managers should be looking for better and healthier streaming options at tight end in Week 13. Wright is currently rostered in only 2% of Yahoo leagues.

November 25, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) continues to be limited at practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday due to an ongoing calf issue, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Wicks has been on the team's injury report for the last three weeks with a calf injury, but he has managed to play through it. The 24-year-old should be out there again this Thursday on Thanksgiving Day against the division-rival Detroit Lions, but he's purely a deep-league dart throw, at best. That will be especially true if both
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) and rookie
Matthew Golden (wrist) return from their injuries this week. Wicks scored nine times in his first two years in the NFL with Green Bay, but he's still searching for his first touchdown through 12 weeks of the 2025 season. He has 20 catches for 213 yards on 34 targets in nine games.

Washington Wizards forward/center
Marvin Bagley III (hip) won't play on Tuesday versus the Hawks, marking his third-straight absence. The former Duke Blue Devil has averaged only 7.6 points and 4.4 rebounds in 15.8 minutes per contest this season, so there aren't very many fantasy managers awaiting his return. While there might be streaming opportunities down the line if
Alexandre Sarr misses time, Bagley currently isn't worth rostering in most fantasy setups. With that said, his absence will still open the door for more minutes from
Tristan Vukcevic, who is coming off a 12-point, eight-rebound, two-block, two-steal showing in Saturday's loss to the Chicago Bulls.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 25, 2025
Atlanta Hawks guard
Luke Kennard (hip) is available for Tuesday's NBA Cup clash with the Washington Wizards after missing Sunday's win over the Charlotte Hornets. The 29-year-old has seen steady minutes for Atlanta this season (22.1 minutes per contest). He is also averaging 8.1 points and 44.2% shooting from behind the arc. However, despite a consistent role, Kennard is streaky on the offensive end, posting double-digit scoring in four of his nine appearances in November, giving him little fantasy upside outside of his efficiency from deep.

November 25, 2025
Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday with a wrist injury, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Golden missed Sunday's decisive win over the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field with shoulder and wrist injuries. The 22-year-old Texas product is tracking towards returning on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday against the division-rival Detroit Lions, though, now that he's clear of his shoulder injury. Golden probably needs to practice in full on Wednesday to avoid taking another questionable tag into game day. Fantasy managers who bought into the preseason hype surrounding Golden have been disappointed so far in 2025, as he's caught just 24 passes for 286 yards on 32 targets. He's still searching for the first touchdown of his career, and his chances of contributing down the stretch aren't going to get any better now that
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) is nearing a return.

November 25, 2025
Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson had a solid, albeit unspectacular, fantasy day in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. The 23-year-old rushed 14 times for 70 yards and caught both of his targets for an additional 37 yards. He was unable to find the end zone, though, as wide receivers
Darnell Mooney and
David Sills V each caught the Falcons' only two touchdowns on the day. While the rushing yardage was good, averaging five yards per carry, the number of targets was disappointing. Two of his lowest target totals this season have come in the two games with
Kirk Cousins under center, averaging 2.5 targets per game, compared to 5.1 targets per game in the nine games with
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) at the helm. It was disappointing enough that
Tyler Allgeier was vulturing touchdowns, but now it seems his work in the passing attack will also take a hit with the QB change. The third-year pro is one of the most explosive and talented backs in the league, but his fantasy floor appears to be lower than it was earlier this season. Even so, he'll likely remain a top option at running back in Week 13 when the Falcons go on the road to visit the Jets, a defense that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.

November 25, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) was listed as limited again in practice on Tuesday, per ESPN's Eric Woodyard. Reed returned to practice last Friday for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 2. The 25-year-old is also recovering from surgery for a Jones fracture in his foot. Reed will probably need to upgrade to a full practice on Wednesday for the Packers to even consider officially activating him from Injured Reserve to play on Thanksgiving on Thursday against the division-rival Detroit Lions. He's a stash candidate in most fantasy leagues, but even if Reed were to play on Turkey Day, he wouldn't be a recommended starting lineup option in his first game back after a long layoff. The most likely scenario is that Green Bay holds Reed out until their Week 14 divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Dec. 7. "You'll find out Thursday," head coach Matt LaFleur said when asked if Reed could play given his lack of practice time.

November 25, 2025
Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) missed his first game of the year in the Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings due to a knee contusion, and he should be considered questionable for the Week 13 divisional clash against the Detroit Lions on Thursday on Thanksgiving Day after being listed as limited for the team's first two practices of the week on Monday and Tuesday. The 27-year-old's injury isn't considered serious, but the Packers could play it safe with their star RB on a short week. Jacobs may need to upgrade to a full practice on Wednesday to avoid a questionable tag going into Thursday's game. He has been a must-start RB1 in fantasy football with 11 touchdowns in 10 games this year, but fantasy managers could be without him for a second straight game. If Jacobs is out again in Week 13,
Emanuel Wilson will be a plug-and-play RB2 again after scoring twice and rushing for over 100 yards on Sunday.

November 25, 2025
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
KaVontae Turpin (illness, shoulder) was back at practice on a limited basis on Tuesday due to an illness and a shoulder injury, per The Athletic's Jon Machota. Turpin's return to the practice field on Tuesday after being a DNP on Monday is a sign that he's trending towards being available on Thanksgiving on Thursday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old caught one pass for a 48-yard pickup on two targets in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Turpin is more of an asset for Dallas as a kick returner on special teams. He has not caught more than two passes in a game since Sept. 28 against the Green Bay Packers, and his only score on offense in 2025 came back on Sept. 14 versus the New York Giants. If active on Thursday against KC, Turpin isn't a realistic starting option in fantasy football lineups.

November 25, 2025
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
George Pickens (calf, knee) was officially listed as limited at Tuesday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Pickens was estimated as a non-participant on Monday, so it's an upgrade for the 24-year-old's status heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. Pickens is a little banged up with multiple injuries, but he's fully expected to play this week and should remain locked into all fantasy football lineups as Dallas' No. 1 wideout in 2025. Pickens brings a 67-1,054-8 line into Thursday's game on 92 targets in his first year with the Cowboys. The matchup against the Chiefs is not ideal, but Pickens is a must-start as the WR2 in half-PPR scoring this year.

Esfandiar Baraheni of The Athletic reports that Toronto Raptors forward
RJ Barrett (knee) won't play on Wednesday against Indiana. The former Knick sprained his left knee in Sunday's victory over the Brooklyn Nets and will miss his second straight game tomorrow evening. While Barrett is sidelined,
Gradey Dick and
Jamal Shead may benefit the most from extra playing time. However, both are risky fantasy picks since
Brandon Ingram,
Scottie Barnes, and
Immanuel Quickley will likely absorb most of the available minutes during Barrett's absence.
--Andrew LennoxSource: Esfandiar Baraheni
November 25, 2025
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Rashee Rice (hamstring) practiced in full capacity on Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Rice was upgraded to a full participant after being estimated as limited in Monday's walk-through. The 25-year-old tweaked his hamstring during Kansas City's Week 12 win over the Colts and had his lowest snap share in a game (62.5%) since returning from suspension in Week 7, but it didn't stop him from posting a career high 141 yards and the first 100-yard game by a Chief this season. The injury shouldn't concern any fantasy managers after a full practice on Tuesday, and Rice should feast again in a potential shootout against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

New York Knicks guard/forward
Landry Shamet (shoulder) will miss Wednesday's meeting with the Charlotte Hornets. Shament will be out for the second game due to a sprained right shoulder. The 28-year-old has averaged 9.2 points with 1.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists over his last five outings while shooting 47.2 percent from the field and 44.0 percent from beyond the arc. His extended absence will likely continue to lead to
Miles McBride and
Jordan Clarkson seeing extra minutes.
--Andrew LennoxSource: NBA Injury Report
November 25, 2025
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice session, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Worthy was estimated as limited in Monday's walk-through, but was upgraded to full on Tuesday and should be all good to go for Kansas City's Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The second-year wideout recorded four catches for 59 yards on eight targets in the Chiefs' win over the Colts in Week 12, his most yards in a game since Week 4 against the Ravens. Worthy made one of the biggest plays of the game on the Chiefs' final drive to set up the game-winning field goal, beating his man deep for a 31-yard gain on a third down. He has a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 13, where he will again rank in the WR3 range.

According to Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald, Miami Heat forward
Nikola Jovic (hip) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks. Jovic has missed four straight games due to a hip impingement.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (hip),
Andrew Wiggins (hip), and
Dru Smith (hip) are also considered questionable for tomorrow evening's contest.
Simone Fontecchio and
Pelle Larsson both carry marginal fantasy value, but with extra minutes, they could offer solid fantasy production on Wednesday night if Jovic is unable to suit up.

The Buffalo Bills have signed former New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Brandin Cooks to their active roster, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Cooks played 10 games for the Saints this season before reaching an agreement with the team to be released on November 22. The former first-round pick in 2014 cleared waivers and had the option to sign anywhere, ultimately choosing to sign with the contending Bills, who need wide receiver help. The 12-year veteran didn't show much in his time with the Saints this season, catching 19 of his 25 targets for 165 yards and no touchdowns, but he should have a chance to immediately contribute in Buffalo.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson had arguably the best game of his career in Week 12's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, handling seven carries for 23 yards with two receptions (three targets) for 59 yards and a touchdown. It was Sampson's second career touchdown; his first also came on a reception back in Week 2, and he posted his second-most yards from scrimmage in a game, trailing only his 93-yard performance in Week 1. The rookie fourth-rounder totaled 27 touches in the first two weeks, but his role in Cleveland's offense decreased after fellow rookie
Quinshon Judkins returned to the team in Week 2. From Weeks 3 through 11, Sampson played just 18.7% of the snaps with 25 total touches. He was dynamic in Cleveland's Week 12 win, however, taking a simple screen pass from
Shedeur Sanders 66 yards for a touchdown. Judkins is still the clear lead back, but Sampson's pass-catching ability could make him fantasy viable in deeper PPR leagues moving forward.

According to Law Murray of The Athletic, Los Angeles Clippers guard/forward
Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. Due to a left hip contusion, the 33-year-old sharpshooter is at risk of missing his third consecutive contest. With
Bradley Beal (hip) sidelined for the rest of the season, Bogdanovic has had a much larger role in the Clippers' rotation lately, averaging 25.7 minutes per contest. If he is unable to suit up, fantasy managers should expect rookie
Kobe Sanders to take on extra minutes this evening.

The NFL has suspended Carolina Panthers safety Tre'Von Moehrig for his act of unsportsmanlike conduct on San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings as Monday night's game concluded, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Jennings will be reviewed for a possible fine, but will not be suspended for his actions in response to the cheap shot to the groin area from Moehrig. The Panthers' safety will appeal the suspension, but it is unlikely to be overturned. Moehrig will be eligible to return following Carolina's Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the NFL will review San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Jauan Jennings' actions on Monday night against the Carolina Panthers for a possible fine, but he won't be suspended. Panthers safety Tre'Von Moehrig took a cheap shot to a sensitive area for Jennings late in Monday night's game, and Jennings had to be held back following the conclusion of the contest. The 28-year-old caught five of his seven targets for 41 yards and his fourth touchdown of the season in the 20-9 victory. Three of Jennings' four scores on the year have come in the last four games, and he has a higher fantasy ceiling with quarterback
Brock Purdy recovered from a turf-toe injury that caused him to miss most of the season. Going into a tough Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns, Jennings should be viewed as a touchdown-dependent WR3/flex option.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (foot) will be questionable for Wednesday night's matchup against the Rockets, according to coach Steve Kerr. Green has missed two of the last three games and is currently working through a right mid-foot sprain. After he practiced on Tuesday, Kerr said Green is "definitely trending upward," which suggests he has a good chance to return to action on Wednesday. In his 16 games, he's averaging 8.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 28.7 minutes per game. His return would likely push
Quinten Post back to the bench.

November 25, 2025
Philadelphia Eagles running back
Tank Bigsby has settled in as the team's RB2 behind starter
Saquon Barkley. However, that doesn't mean the 24-year-old former Jaguars RB should be rostered in 12-team fantasy leagues for the time being. Bigsby played only three offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Dallas Cowboys and had one carry for eight yards. In his 10 games since joining the Eagles this year, Bigsby has only 18 carries for 164 yards in a backup role. Philly's offense has been sluggish, too, which hasn't helped Bigsby's cause for more work in a complementary role. Going into a Week 13 game against the Chicago Bears this Friday, the Eagles rank 21st in the league in rushing yards per game (110.5). Unless Barkley misses time with an injury, Bigsby can probably be left to the waiver wire in shallow fantasy formats.
