Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Kenneth Gainwell has been on a hot streak lately and will look to carry that momentum into a Week 13 meeting with the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have struggled to stop the run this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points and second-most yards per attempt to opposing running backs. However, they haven't allowed much receiving production to the position, which is noteworthy given Gainwell's significant role as a pass-catcher. Still, he should approach double-digit carries in this one, even with
Jaylen Warren playing ahead of him on early downs. Gainwell isn't quite a must-start fantasy option, but with
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) back under center, Pittsburgh should keep Sunday's contest competitive enough for him to provide value as a high-end flex play.

Las Vegas Raiders running back
Raheem Mostert has served as the primary backup to rookie
Ashton Jeanty this season, totaling 20 carries for 92 yards, along with nine receptions (nine targets) for 63 yards in eight games. The veteran hasn't recorded more than four touches in a game since Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans. Mostert would be in line to handle the bulk of the touches for the Raiders if Jeanty were to miss any time, but he remains off fantasy radars for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers has been solid since being acquired by the Jaguars back in Week 10. He's always been a reliable short-field option, making him useful in PPR leagues, but he found the endzone last week to help him produce a good fantasy outing. Over the last two games, he has nine receptions on 12 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown. However, with
Brian Thomas Jr. returning from injury, it is unclear what Meyers's role will be moving forward. Considering Thomas Jr. is more of a deep threat, there's a possibility it won't change that much. That makes Meyers a solid flex play with limited upside against a weak Titans defense. Especially in PPR leagues, Meyers is a fine play in Week 13.

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns, recording four catches for 62 yards on five targets. The veteran has been a reliable pass-catching option over the past three games, leading the Raiders' wide receivers with 12 catches (14 targets) for 139 yards, averaging 8.6 PPR points per game. It will be interesting to see how the Las Vegas offense looks in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after the dismissal of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier this week. It's a tough matchup on Sunday for Lockett, with the Chargers allowing the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wideouts.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) was a full participant at practice on Thursday and Friday and seems well recovered from the injury that held him out for three games. That doesn't necessarily mean he is in line for big game, however, as he hasn't been the most consistent fantasy option this season. The receiver room is also filled with competition still after the Jaguars traded for
Jakobi Meyers to replace the injured
Travis Hunter, and tight end
Brenton Strange returned from injury. The Titans defense is very vulnerable, but game script should favor the rushing attack more. If Thomas Jr. can get involved early, he could have a good fantasy day, but that is a huge if in a huge Week 13 fantasy week.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren had a solid game last week and will look to build on that performance against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Buffalo has been solid against the pass but extremely vulnerable on the ground, surrendering the third-most rushing yards, the second-most yards per carry, and the third-most fantasy points to opposing running backs. Warren will continue to split work with
Kenneth Gainwell, who has emerged as Pittsburgh's preferred receiving back. Still, Warren remains the clear leader on the ground. The 27-year-old has logged double-digit carries in every game he's played this season, while Gainwell has reached 10 carries just twice. Though the Steelers enter this matchup as underdogs, they are projected to keep it competitive at home, suggesting plenty of utilization for Warren throughout. Fantasy managers should treat Warren as a high-end RB2 with upside on Sunday.

November 29, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. should be in line for a good fantasy day against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. Not only should game script favor the Jaguars running game against their 1-10 division rival, but the Titans defense has been extra susceptible to the run compared to the pass. That means the Jaguars game plan on paper should be to run early and often, meaning if Etienne Jr. can find the end zone, he could have a big day.
Bhayshul Tuten has had mixed involvement in the rushing attack which could limit Etienne Jr.'s upside slightly, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers. Start the Jaguars star back with confidence in Week 13.

November 29, 2025
Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Jerry Jeudy had just one catch for 39 yards on three targets in last week's win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Jeudy wasn't very involved in
Shedeur Sanders' first career start, and to make matters worse, he lost a fumble on his only reception. The 26-year-old is tied for the lead league with nine drops this season and hasn't been a reliable fantasy producer in a poor Browns offense. Jeudy will look for better production on Sunday against a San Francisco 49ers defense that has allowed the 12th most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR56 in PPR leagues for Week 13.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 29, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence doesn't seem to have much upside heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Tennessee Titans. The division rival has the worst record in football, likely meaning a run-heavy game for the Jacksonville offense. That means unless Lawrence can get touchdowns early, then it's hard to see him having a great fantasy day. He should do solid, but the combination of a likely great defensive outing producing points and good field position along with a potentially run heavy game plan limits Lawrence's upside greatly. He remains firmly a QB2 in Week 13.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBallerSource: Trevor Lawrence RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Brock Bowers recorded six catches for 55 yards on nine targets in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns. It was a quiet day for the star tight end, who salvaged his day with four catches for 35 yards on the Raiders' final two drives in ultimate garbage time, with the game's outcome already decided. Bowers will look to bounce back in a major way in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers, where the Raiders' offense could look a bit different after the team dismissed offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Bowers recorded five catches for 38 yards on eight targets in their Week 2 meeting when he was banged up with a knee injury. The second-year tight ranks as a top-two option again in Week 13 and should be locked into all fantasy lineups.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is expected to play on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals in Week 13, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Mayfield could wear some tape with some protective padding on his injured left (non-throwing) shoulder. It won't be a huge brace protecting the low-grade AC joint sprain that the 30-year-old signal-caller suffered in the Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Mayfield is officially listed as questionable to play this weekend, but he should be out there against the Cardinals as the Bucs look to end their three-game losing streak. Although Mayfield looked good throwing the football during practice this week, he will be more risky as a starting QB in fantasy football this weekend while at risk of an in-game setback while probably not playing at 100%. Mayfield is more of a midrange to low-end QB2 in Week 13.

November 29, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tre Tucker is coming off seeing a career high of 10 targets in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns. Tucker recorded just three receptions for 28 yards, but the volume of targets was positive to see. The 24-year-old was listed on the injury report this week due to a knee injury, but practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and heads into Sunday without an injury designation. The Las Vegas offense could look different in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after the firing of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week. Tucker is still a risky fantasy option in 12-team leagues against a Chargers defense that has allowed the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

The New York Mets' trade of long-time outfielder
Brandon Nimmo to the Texas Rangers might have cleared a lane for outfield prospect
Carson Benge to become the team's starting center fielder on Opening Day in 2026, according to Sam Dykstra of MLB.com. Benge, the team's No. 2 prospect and the No. 21 overall prospect by MLB Pipeline, climbed three levels in the minors in his first full season in 2025. He has a real shot to not only make the big-league roster out of spring training, but also win starting center-field duties now that Nimmo is gone. The 22-year-old was drafted 19th overall in 2024 as a two-way player out of Oklahoma State. Benge has since become a full-time outfielder and hit .281/.385/.472 with 15 homers and 22 steals in 116 games over three minor-league levels. Benge has great bat-to-ball skills, developing power, and above-average speed. His primary competition in center field in spring training will be with
Tyrone Taylor.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie running back
Ashton Jeanty hasn't found consistent running room this season behind a lackluster offensive line, totaling 166 carries for 604 yards (3.6 YPC) and four touchdowns while adding 37 receptions for 221 yards and four more scores on 46 targets as a receiver. Jeanty injured his ankle in Week 12's loss to the Browns, but he is off the injury report heading into Sunday. His involvement in the passing game has helped save his fantasy outputs in recent weeks, with 22 receptions (26 targets) for 135 yards and two touchdowns in the past four games. The sixth overall pick in this past year's draft is averaging just 2.9 yards per carry in that four-game span. The Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week, so the offense could look a little different in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Jeanty ranks as RotoBaller's RB20 for Week 13.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback
Geno Smith took a career-high 10 sacks in last week's loss to the Cleveland Browns and completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards with a touchdown. The offense could look a little different in Week 13 against the Chargers after the Raiders dismissed offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier in the week, with Greg Olson taking over. Smith will look to bounce back on Sunday against the Chargers and deliver a better performance than when they met back in Week 2, where he threw three interceptions. Smith isn't a recommended fantasy option in Week 13, ranking as RotoBaller's QB30 for the week.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 29, 2025
Seattle Seahawks running back
Kenneth Walker III (glute) was cleared from the team's injury report and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Walker separated a bit from
Zach Charbonnet in Week 12 against the Titans, posting his highest snap share of the season (63.8%) while Charbonnet had his lowest (31.9%). The 25-year-old Walker has also gone over 100 yards from scrimmage in each of the past two games on 33 combined touches, with Charbonnet staying involved, but with only 19 touches in the past two weeks. Notably, Walker has earned more red-zone carries recently than earlier in the year, but has only found the end zone once. It seems the coaching staff is trending towards using Walker more as the lead back moving forward, which bodes well for his fantasy value as he's always been dynamic with his opportunities. Walker ranks as RotoBaller's RB21 in PPR leagues for Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings.

November 29, 2025
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being limited every day in practice this week. Harrison has been recovering from appendectomy surgery, which has caused him to miss the past two games. There is a "solid" chance he makes his return in Week 13, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The second-year wideout should have appeal in Week 13 with how much pass volume Arizona has had with
Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. It will be interesting to see how he fits back into the offense with
Michael Wilson breaking out in his absence, but Harrison should reclaim his role as the top wideout in the passing game alongside star tight end
Trey McBride. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR leagues for Sunday's matchup against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 10th most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones (fibula) has been dealing with a fractured fibula, per reports, but he intends to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Jones was limited in practice on Wednesday before practicing fully on Thursday and Friday. He draws a difficult matchup against a Houston defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. The tough matchup, coupled with Jones' injury, makes it tough to trust him in fantasy this weekend. Treat him as a low-end QB2 who can be benched if you have a better quarterback option on your bench.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but is expected to play on Sunday. With
Trey Benson (knee) ruled out for his eighth consecutive game, and
Emari Demercado (ankle) sidelined again, Knight is in to draw the start and split touches with
Michael Carter. Carter has outsnapped Knight in the past two weeks with the same situation, but Knight holds the touch advantage with 23 compared to Carter's 15 in the past two games. The 24-year-old hasn't been efficient as a runner, recording 15 carries for 36 yards to go with eight receptions for 41 yards on nine targets, but has found the end zone in both games to return some fantasy value. Knight should lead Arizona in touches again on Sunday against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 11-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB36 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker
Chase McLaughlin gave fantasy managers a dud during last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. McLaughlin didn't see much action as he made his lone extra point attempt in the loss. McLaughlin didn't attempt any field goals in what was an ugly day for the Bucs offense. The hope is that things get better against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. However, quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint injury which could limit this offense. McLaughlin has been reliable when called upon, so as long as the Bucs can get in scoring position then he'll be able to succeed this weekend.
--Andy WebbSource: ESPN
November 29, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin Jr. (leg) will suit up for the second straight week after missing five games due to a leg injury. Godwin was limited last week as he played only 36 percent of the offensive snaps. During that time, Godwin hauled in two of his four targets for nine yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The expectation is that Godwin will see a larger workload going forward. However, it's unknown how well the Bucs will do passing the ball with
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) dealing with an AC joint injury. Godwin wasn't impressive when he was healthy earlier in the season. Fantasy managers should put him on the flex radar for this upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

November 29, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is on track to return to the field for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Irving practiced in full all week, which puts him on track to play, barring any setbacks. This will be the first time that Irving has played since Week 4. That being said, Irving is expected to be limited in terms of snaps during his first game back. The Bucs have two other capable options in
Sean Tucker and
Rachaad White as well. This could turn into a three-back committee which would be bad news for fantasy managers. The Bucs might decide to ride the hot hand in what could be a run-heavy gameplan given quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint issue. It's tough to trust Irving as more than a high-end flex option during his first game back.
--Andy WebbSource: Pro Football Reference
November 29, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is expected to suit up for the Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Mayfield suffered a low-grade AC joint sprain to his left shoulder during last week's game. The plan is to protect his shoulder which could result in a slightly different gameplan. He was able to get through a full practice session on Friday, which puts him in the right direction for Sunday's contest. Mayfield has been held to under 200 passing yards in three of his last four games. He's clearly not 100 percent healthy, so fantasy managers can't count on him as much as they could earlier in the season. The 30-year-old should be viewed as a high-end QB2 with a favorable matchup against the Cardinals defense.

The Indianapolis Colts defense played well in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, holding them to 23 points while notching four sacks and forcing two turnovers. The Colts continue to be one of the more productive fantasy D/STs this year, ranking sixth in the league with 33 sacks and fifth with 11 interceptions. They will look to stay hot at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. Houston's offense will get a boost as they welcome
C.J. Stroud back after he missed the past three games with a concussion. That being said, Houston's offense hasn't exactly been dominant with Stroud at the helm this season, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to defenses. The Colts settle in as a top-12 fantasy D/ST this weekend despite the return of Stroud.

Michael Badgley has shown solid accuracy across six games for his team this season, hitting nine of his 10 field-goal attempts and 17 of 19 extra points. The veteran kicker kept it going in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, hitting both of his field goals and adding two extra points. Badgley will now head home to face off against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been excellent against opposing kickers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. The Colts have provided plenty of scoring opportunities for their kickers this season, but this sets up as one of their toughest matchups yet. Badgley settles in outside of the top-12 fantasy kickers this week, but he can still be started in a pinch.

Tyler Warren turned in another solid outing in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching five of his seven targets for 45 yards. Warren has been an impressive rookie, catching 55 passes for 662 yards while scoring four all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games. He will look to keep it going in Week 13's home matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans have been tough on tight ends this season, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Warren remains a major piece of the Indy passing attack and should see plenty of work in Week 13, which keeps him in the top-six conversation at tight end despite the difficult matchup.

Alec Pierce turned in a quiet outing in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching just one of his two targets for 26 yards. Overall, Pierce has been a solid fantasy producer this season, catching 29 passes for 611 yards and one touchdown in nine games. Pierce will look to stay productive in a Week 13 home matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans have been tough on opposing wideouts, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position. With a 21.1 yards per catch average, Pierce offers intriguing boom potential in fantasy, which keeps him in the conversation as a WR3 in Week 13 despite the difficult matchup.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs has been quiet of late, having caught just three of his eight targets for 13 scoreless yards over his past two games. Downs will look to get back on track at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans represent a difficult matchup for Downs as they are allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this season. Downs has not been a priority target in the Indy passing attack this season, which has cut into his fantasy value. He sets up as a WR5 and is not a safe fantasy option heading into Week 13.

November 29, 2025
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. continued to show a nose for the end zone in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching his seventh touchdown in 11 games. He will look to keep it going at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been a difficult matchup for receivers this season, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Pittman has operated as the Colts' No. 1 receiver this season and should continue to see plenty of targets, which keeps him in the low-end WR2 conversation for Week 13 despite the tough matchup.

Indianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor is coming off a rare slow outing for him as he gained just 58 scoreless yards in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Taylor will look to bounce back at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs thus far. Taylor has been one of the most dominant fantasy players in the league this season with 17 all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games and should be locked into starting lineups on a weekly basis regardless of his opponent. He sets up as a top-three fantasy running back for Week 13.
