Jahmyr Gibbs Looking to Extend Recent Hot Streak in Difficult Week 13 Matchup
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.

Trey Benson Worth an Immediate Start Upon Return?
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.

Ravens D/ST a Shaky Option in Week 13
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.

Jared Goff a Risky Starting QB in Tough Week 13 Matchup
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.

Tyler Loop a Top Option in Week 13
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.

DeAndre Hopkins Hard to Trust, Even in Great Week 13 Matchup
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.

Treylon Burks Logs Limited Practice on Wednesday
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.

Mark Andrews Gets Value Boost with Good Matchup in Week 13
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.

Joshua Palmer is Limited in Practice on Wednesday
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.

Bam Knight Logs Limited Practice Session on Wednesday
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.

Zay Flowers Once Again Hovering Around WR2 Status in Week 13
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.

Isaac TeSlaa Tagged as Questionable for Week 13
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.

Kalif Raymond Ruled Out for Week 13
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.

Darren Waller Gets in Limited Practice on Wednesday
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.

Keaton Mitchell a Risky Option in Week 13
Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is set to see a bit more action in Week 13 after Justice Hill (neck) has officially been ruled out. In Week 12, Mitchell finished with more touches (3) than Hill (0) despite the fact that he had a 19% snap share compared to Hill's 25%. The young speedster has been more efficient and explosive with his touches this season, and more action against a vulnerable defense should mean great opportunities. The Cincinnati Bengals rank last against opposing backfields and have given up a total of nine touchdowns on the ground and five through the air to running backs. While this all equates to good things for Mitchell, he's still projected outside the top 50 and would be a very risky flex option, even in deeper leagues.

Jaylen Waddle Limited During Wednesday's Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (foot) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This seems a bit odd as Waddle wasn't dealing with a foot injury before the bye week. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but the fact he was limited suggests it's a minor issue. Waddle should be ready to go against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday just in case something changes.

Derrick Henry Draws a Great Matchup on Thanksgiving
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has finished as an RB1 in each of the last two weeks, and has registered double-digit fantasy points over his last six consecutive games in half-PPR formats. Despite an ugly average of 3.0 yards per carry last week, he's always a threat to score, like he did twice against the New York Jets. Their Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnatti Bengals should mean a huge green light for Henry. They're ranked 32nd against opposing backfields and have allowed an average of 32.18 fantasy points per game. Henry is projected as a mid-level RB1 this week and should remain in starting lineups regardless of format.

Devin Neal is Limited on Wednesday
New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Neal took over as the lead back for the final three quarters after Alvin Kamara (knee) exited early during Sunday's game. Neal looks like he picked up a minor ankle injury along the way. The fact he was limited suggests that Neal is on track to play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 13. He rushed the ball seven times for 18 yards, while hauling in five receptions for 43 yards in the loss. Kamara is trending in the wrong direction right now, so Neal could take over as the lead back this weekend.

Jake Ferguson Faces Tough Test in Week 13 vs. the Chiefs
Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has been a steady target for quarterback Dak Prescott this season. He has had at least four catches in nine outings in 2025 and has topped 50 or more receiving yards in two of his last three games. Ferguson will look to remain a solid fantasy TE option against the Kansas City Chiefs on Thanksgiving. The Cowboys-Chiefs game could be a shootout, with the highest Week 13 implied total at 52.5 points. Ferguson does have a tough matchup this week, as the Chiefs' defense ranks inside the top 10 in passing defense, averaging 195 passing yards per game. Despite the tough matchup, Ferguson remains one of the top targets in the Cowboys' offense and will continue to see volume. RotoBaller currently has Ferguson as the eighth-ranked tight end in Week 13.

Alvin Kamara Doesn't Practice on Wednesday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Kamara was forced to exit early during Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He underwent an MRI, which revealed that Kamara is dealing with a sprain. There are still two more days for Kamara to get healthy enough to play, but fantasy managers should prepare to be without him. If he sits, Devin Neal figures to take over as the lead back for the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Neal could offer RB2 value if he takes over the starting gig this weekend.

Lamar Jackson Still Projected as a QB1 Against Bengals
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has registered a rough stretch of fantasy finishes over the last three games as he continues to deal with a slew of injuries. This week, he was dealing with a toe issue that kept him out of the walkthrough on Monday, but he was a full participant the rest of the way. His upside remains one of the highest in the league, especially against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and the second most over the last four weeks. A lot of these matchups with the Bengals have ended up in a shootout, and Jackson's 10-2 against them in his career with a total of 2,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. For that reason, he's still projected as a QB1, but he's become a bit more worrisome week by week.

Chris Olave Limited on Wednesday
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like Olave is dealing with a minor back issue, so the team pulled him out of drills as a precaution. Fantasy managers should consider Olave as day-to-day. He figures to be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report over the next two days. If active, fantasy managers should be able to trust Olave as a WR2 for Week 13.

Eddy Pineiro Misses Wednesday's Practice
San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Pineiro wasn't able to practice at all last week before eventually getting ruled out for the Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. It's not looking good as Pineiro is sidelined to begin this week as well. He's currently considered week-to-week due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain. In his absence, Matt Gay was perfect on all four of his kick attempts. Gay figures to get another start if Pineiro is sidelined versus the Cleveland Browns in Week 13.

Lukas Dostal Out Wednesday Night
Anaheim Ducks goaltender Lukas Dostal (upper body) won't be available for Wednesday's contest against the Vancouver Canucks. He is nursing an upper-body injury and is considered day-to-day. Anaheim's No. 1 goaltender is having an outstanding campaign, sitting on an 11-5-1 record. He has logged a 2.81 goals-against average with a .904 save percentage. With Dostal out of commission, the Ducks will turn to Petr Mrazek on Wednesday night. Mrazek also holds a winning record at 3-2-0, but he is allowing nearly four goals a night this season (3.61) and holds a lowly .886 save percentage. Ville Husso, who was recalled from the AHL on Wednesday, will serve as Mrazek's backup.

Kenneth Walker III on the Week 13 Injury Report
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (glute) is on the team's Week 13 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with a glute injury, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. Walker, who has a history of lower-body injuries, is worth monitoring ahead of a Week 13 clash against the Minnesota Vikings this weekend. The 25-year-old continues to share playing time with backfield mate Zach Charbonnet, but he has been much more efficient with his opportunities in 2025, compiling 677 rushing yards and four touchdowns on his 147 rushing attempts. Walker has also added 157 receiving yards. If Walker is able to play against Minnesota, he should be viewed as a low-end RB2 for fantasy managers. He played through his glute injury in last week's win over the Titans and had 14 touches for 101 scrimmage yards.

Sean Durzi Available Against Canadiens
Utah Mammoth defenseman Sean Durzi (upper body) will end a 21-game absence in Wednesday's matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. The 26-year-old suffered an upper-body injury in only the second game of the season. Durzi will enter the lineup on the third defensive pairing, replacing Dmitri Simashev. A couple of campaigns back, Durzi posted 41 points (nine goals, 32 assists) in 76 games and racked up blocks for fun. He has the potential to make a fantasy impact, but Durzi has battled health issues for two years now, missing 73 regular-season contests.

Michael Mayer Misses First Practice of the Week
Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (ankle) was a non-participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday due to an ankle issue, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Mayer only played 13 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns before injuring his ankle and never returning. The 24-year-old's status is now up in the air for this weekend's divisional rematch against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mayer has not been a realistic TE2 fantasy football streamer this year as long as Brock Bowers has been healthy. In nine total games, the former second-rounder in 2023 out of Notre Dame has 22 catches for 182 yards and only one touchdown on 32 targets. If Mayer is unavailable to play against L.A. on Sunday, it should open up more playing time for rookies Dont'e Thornton Jr. and Jack Bech in three-wide sets.

Thomas Chabot to Remain Out Wednesday
Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot (upper body) will be absent for a fifth time in six games on Wednesday night against the Vegas Golden Knights. He remains day-to-day with a lingering upper-body issue. Nikolas Matinpalo took Chabot's spot in the Senators defense on Monday against the Los Angeles Kings and is poised to stay in the lineup for Wednesday's contest. In Monday's 2-1 loss, Martinpalo recorded an assist, but he isn't known as a regular scorer. Jordan Spence is filling in for Chabot on the second power-play unit and could draw some fantasy interest on Wednesday against a team with a mediocre penalty-killing record.

Tre Tucker Limited With Knee Injury on Wednesday
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker (knee) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, according to ESPN's Ryan McFadden. Tucker didn't show any signs of an injury in the Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, playing 95% of the offensive snaps and finishing with three catches on a team-high 10 targets for 28 yards. The 24-year-old may need to upgrade to a full practice this week to avoid a questionable tag for Week 13 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, though. Tucker has seen more looks in the last two games, hauling in seven of 18 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown. Veteran Tyler Lockett has plenty of chemistry with quarterback Geno Smith, though, and tight end Brock Bowers also takes away valuable looks. In what has been a bad Raiders offense in 2025, Tucker has limited fantasy upside as a WR4/flex heading into a rematch against L.A. Tucker had just three catches on eight targets for a season-low 12 yards in the first game against the Chargers.

Jared McCann Expected to Rejoin Kraken Lineup Wednesday
Seattle Kraken forward Jared McCann (lower body) was activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday and is expected to play against the Dallas Stars. He has been out of action since Oct. 18. Before sustaining a long-term lower-body injury, McCann posted three goals and four points in five games at the start of the season. On Wednesday, McCann is projected to skate with Berkly Catton and Shane Wright on the third line. However, he could soon be part of the top-six group, as McCann has been the Kraken's leading scorer in each of the franchise's first four NHL seasons.
