Greg Dortch Has a Limited Role in Cardinals Offense in Week 13 Loss to Tampa Bay
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch had two catches for 14 yards on two targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. The 27-year-old had seen 15 targets in his previous two games. Dortch was the odd man out of the Cardinals' passing attack in Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first game back from his appendectomy surgery. With Harrison's return, the Cardinals' pass-catching room has become crowded with over five different receiving options for quarterback Jacoby Brissett to get the ball to. Dortch will be a touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues heading into a difficult Week 14 matchup against rival Los Angeles Rams.

Egor Demin Available Against Hornets
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.

Justin Herbert Planning to Play Through Broken Bone in Left Hand in Week 14
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.

Terance Mann in Danger of Missing Monday's Game
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.

Michael Carter Gets Double-Digit Touches in Crushing Week 13 Loss to the Bucs
Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had five carries for 17 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Carter also had five catches for 47 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old was able to get involved in the passing game in Sunday's matchup to stay fantasy relevant in Half-PPR and Full-PPR leagues. Week 13 marked the first time Carter had gotten double-digit touches in a game since Week 6. Carter's fantasy value will be left up in the air with Trey Benson (knee) potentially coming off injured reserve and Emari Demercado (ankle) potentially returning in Week 14. If Benson or Demercado returns, Carter will fall to RB3 duties in the Cardinals offense.

Sauce Gardner Likely to Miss a "Couple of Weeks" With Calf Strain
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.

Bam Knight Puts Together Solid Performance in Week 13 Loss vs. the Bucs
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight had 11 carries for 62 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Knight also had three catches for 36 yards with a receiving touchdown on three targets. The 24-year-old put together his best performance of the season by earning season highs in rushing yards, yards per carry, receiving yards, and his first receiving touchdown this season. Knight's performance came after being a limited participant in practice every day this week due to a knee issue. Despite having his best game this season, Knight's role in the offense will be cloudy heading into Week 14, with the potential of Trey Benson (knee) returning from injured reserve looming.

Noah Clowney Considered Probable for Monday
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.

Trey McBride Dominant Again in Week 13
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.

Michael Porter Jr. Listed as Probable for Monday's Matchup
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.

Caris LeVert Expected Back Monday
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.

Nico Collins Scores First Career Rushing Touchdown in Week 13
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.

Duncan Robinson Questionable to Face Hawks
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.

Devaughn Vele Leads Saints in Receiving Yards in Week 13
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.

Jalen Duren Likely to Return Against Hawks Monday
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.

Brock Bowers Records Two Touchdown Grabs in Week 13
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.

Alexandre Sarr Iffy for Monday
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.

Mark Williams Available Against Lakers Monday
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.

Ryan Dunn on Track to Return Monday
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.

Jaime Jaquez Jr. Uncertain for Monday
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.

Coby White Returning to Bulls Lineup Monday
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.

Paolo Banchero Unavailable Monday
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.

Larry Nance Jr. to Miss 3-4 Weeks
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.

Jarrett Allen to Miss a Week of Action
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.

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.

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.

Justin Herbert Suffers Fractured Hand in Week 13, Will Have Surgery
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.

Kimani Vidal has Season-High in Rushing Yards in Win Over Raiders
Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal bounced back in a big way during Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. In Week 11, Vidal posted a season-low 13 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 24-year-old came ready to play out of the bye week this weekend. His biggest play of the game came in the third quarter when he rushed 59 yards for a score to give his team the lead. Vidal ended this game with a season-high 126 rushing yards on 25 attempts with one touchdown in the win. It remains to be seen how the workload is going to be split up once Omarion Hampton (ankle) returns to the mix. Fantasy managers will need to check back throughout the week to see how that situation shakes out ahead of Week 14.
