In recent weeks, Detroit Lions running back
David Montgomery has seemingly faded into a secondary role in his team's offense. The 28-year-old has failed to score a touchdown in five out of his last six games, and he's totaled just 74 scrimmage yards on 15 touches over the last two weeks. A tough Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day seems like an unlikely spot for Montgomery to break out of his slump. Entering Week 13, Green Bay has allowed the sixth-fewest yards per carry (3.9) and rushing touchdowns (eight) in the NFL. In Detroit's first matchup with the Packers in Week 1, Montgomery recorded just 43 scrimmage yards on 15 touches. The Lions will also be shorthanded on their offensive line in Week 13 as both left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) and center Graham Glasgow (knee) are out. Montgomery profiles as a low-end flex option for fantasy managers against the Packers.

Detroit Lions running back
Jahmyr Gibbs carried his team to an overtime victory over the New York Giants in Week 12, recording 264 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 26 touches. Gibbs has been highly productive as both a rusher and receiver since Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over as the team's play-caller in Week 10, amassing 582 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 42 carries and 19 catches over his last three games. The 23-year-old's job will get more difficult in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. Through 12 weeks, Green Bay is allowing an average of 3.9 yards per carry and has given up just eight rushing touchdowns. Gibbs had one of the least efficient games of his career against the Packers in Week 1 of the 2025 season, totaling 19 rushing yards on nine carries and 31 receiving yards on 10 receptions. Detroit will also be missing two starters on the interior of its offensive line in Week 13. Still, Gibbs could see heavy work as a receiver and remains a high-upside, must-start fantasy running back against Green Bay.

Since returning to practice before the team's Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) has been a limited participant in all reported practices, including Wednesday's first session of the week in preparation for a Week 13 matchup with the Buccaneers. Benson has not played since a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks in which he injured his meniscus, requiring in-season surgery. In his absence, the Cardinals have gotten contributions from
Bam Knight,
Michael Carter, and
Emari Demercado, though Knight and Demercado also began the week as limited practice participants, and none of the committee members have carved out a particularly inspiring role from a fantasy perspective. After losing
James Conner (foot) to a gruesome Week 3 injury, the Cardinals' short-lived plan was to turn the entire backfield over to Benson. Now, as he nears a return, the plan may still be in place. While managers with the luxury of taking a wait-and-see approach should be in no hurry to force Benson back into their lineup following a prolonged absence, those desperately fighting for a playoff berth may be forced to start him as soon as he is made available.

The Baltimore Ravens defense/special teams unit has turned around their season in a big way over the last six games. They collected three sacks, one fumble, and one interception while allowing just 10 points to the New York Jets in Week 12. While the Cincinnati Bengals have had up-and-down outings over the last few weeks, quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) was officially activated ahead of the Thanksgiving Day matchup. He's tormented the Ravens' defense, along with receiver
Ja'Marr Chase, over the last couple of seasons. Chase also returns from a one-game suspension, which means the Ravens might be in for a shootout if they can't figure out how to contain this dynamic duo.

Entering Week 13, Detroit Lions quarterback
Jared Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards and two touchdowns in three out of his last four games. However, Goff will face a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, Green Bay's defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. In Detroit's first matchup against the Packers in Week 1, Goff completed 31 of 39 pass attempts for 225 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Making matters even more difficult, Goff will be without starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg), starting center Graham Glasgow (knee), and tight ends
Sam LaPorta (back) and
Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13. Goff profiles as a low-end starting fantasy quarterback in single-QB formats against the Packers.

Baltimore Ravens kicker
Tyler Loop continues to roll as the team rides a five-game win streak. In Week 12, Loop made all three of his field goal attempts (31, 35, and 27 yards) as well both of his extra point attempts. He's finished as a K1 in four of his last five games, while the offense has put up at least 20 points in each one. Week 13 brings the Cincinnati Bengals, who have one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop should see plenty of opportunities, especially since the matchups between these AFC North rivals have ended in shootouts in recent seasons. He's projected as a top five fantasy kicker this week, so fantasy managers can deploy him into their lineups again.

Baltimore Ravens veteran wide receiver
DeAndre Hopkins hasn't made a fantasy impact since the first two weeks of the season, and Week 12 wasn't any different. Despite seeing a couple more targets over the last few weeks, Hopkins still finished with only two or three fantasy points in half-PPR formats. Even though he's going up against a porous defense in the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving, he still projects outside the top 60. To make matters worse,
Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially set to return, so he'll likely see fewer targets. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for some upside if wide receiver help is needed.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Treylon Burks (finger) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Burks sat out in Week 11 due to a finger injury and didn't play last week with the team on a bye. He briefly moved into the No. 3 role in the offense due to injuries. However,
Noah Brown (knee) and
Terry McLaurin (quad) both returned to practice this week. Even if he's healthy, Burks might not be an ideal streaming option for the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews put up a dud in Week 12 after a three-game stretch where he finished as the TE5, TE9, and TE4 in half-PPR formats. Before that stretch, he only had one other TE1 finish. In Week 13, however, Andrews and the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals. They're ranked last against opposing tight ends in fantasy, and give up an average of 22.80 fantasy points per game to the position. The second-worst team gives up 17.50 on average, so the Bengals have been especially bad. In fact, they're the only team that has given up close to 1,000 receiving yards and more than seven touchdowns (13). So, Andrews holds TE1 value once again.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Palmer was a bit banged up heading into last Thursday's game versus the Houston Texans. Despite that, Palmer suited up and hauled in two of his four targets for 21 yards in the loss. It appears Palmer is still dealing with an ankle issue right now. Barring any setbacks, Palmer should be ready to go for the Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old isn't an ideal fantasy option when healthy anyway.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Knight dealt with an ankle issue ahead of the two previous contests, but was active in both. Now, it appears he's over the injury, but picked up a knee problem during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight didn't have much success in the backfield over the weekend as he rushed for 12 yards on 10 carries, but salvaged his fantasy value with a touchdown. His fantasy value could be on the downward trend with
Trey Benson (knee) preparing to return to the field. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the health of this backfield throughout the week ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season.
Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. TeSlaa was limited all week ahead of this Thanksgiving matchup. The rookie wideout hasn't seen much of the field this weekend, but that could change this week. Fellow wideout
Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for this game. That means, TeSlaa would take over as the No. 3 wideout if he's able to suit up. That would mean more snaps for TeSlaa, but he hasn't done enough on the field this season to trust as a streaming option.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Raymond made an early exit during Sunday's win over the New York Giants. Sadly, the 31-year-old won't have enough time to get ready before this Thanksgiving matchup. His absence should mean
Isaac TeSlaa (hand) takes over as the No. 3 wideout, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise,
Dominic Lovett might get a look. Neither are viable fantasy options heading into this game.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller (pectoral) had his 21-day practice window opened this week. On Wednesday, Waller practiced for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury in Week 7. The 33-year-old was a limited participant, which isn't shocking given how long he has been sidelined. It's possible that Waller does return this weekend to take on the New Orleans Saints. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Waller needs more time to get ready. Fantasy managers will need to check back after practice on Thursday and Friday. If he remains out,
Greg Dulcich figures to remain the top tight end for another week.
