Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice with a knee injury. The Cardinals' backfield remains banged up as
Trey Benson (knee) and
Emari Demercado (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, leaving
Michael Carter as the team's only healthy back. Knight has now logged back-to-back limited sessions and will need to be a full participant on Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Knight has caught four passes and found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. The 24-year-old will look to score for a third straight game and can be used as a FLEX option if Benson and Demercado are ruled out again in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was limited again in Thursday's practice. He was limited for a second straight day and is trending in the right direction to suit up for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy following Week 10. He has caught 34 of 62 targets for 525 yards and four touchdowns over nine games in 2025. Harrison will have one more chance to log a full practice, but will likely carry an injury designation heading into Week 13. If Harrison is unable to suit up, look for
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch to see another uptick in targets and snaps with Harrison sidelined.

Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) logged another full practice on Thursday. It was the second straight day Stroud was a full participant. Stroud cleared concussion protocol and is expected to return against the Indianapolis Colts after a three-game absence. He will likely log another full session on Friday, and the final injury report should determine Stoud's official status for Sunday's contest. The 24-year-old has been solid this season, throwing for 1,702 yards, 11 touchdowns, five interceptions, while rushing for 189 yards on 29 attempts. Stroud can be used as a streamer in his first game back since Week 9, but is more of an option in superflex leagues heading into this week.

November 27, 2025
Seattle Seahawks running back
Kenneth Walker III (glute) was limited again in Thursday's practice. It was the second straight day Walker logged a limited session. The 25-year-old will have one more day to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. He played through the glute injury during last week's win over the Tennessee Titans. Walker had 11 rushing attempts for 71 yards and added three receptions on four targets for 30 yards in the Week 12 win over Tennessee. He continues to share Seattle's backfield with
Zach Charbonnet, but has out-touched Charbonnet 61 to 42 over the last four games. Walker is a solid RB2 against the Vikings and is ranked 21st among all running backs in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens defensive back Nate Wiggins (foot) won't return in Thursday night's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. He exited Thursday's game early with a foot injury in the second quarter and has been officially ruled out for the rest of the game. Wiggins had two solo tackles and two passes defended before leaving. The 22-year-old has been terrific for the Ravens this season, leading the team with three interceptions and nine passes defended over 11 games. The severity of Wiggins' foot injury is unknown and is day-to-day for now. He will likely go under additional tests after the game. T.J. Tampa should see an uptick in snaps with Wiggins sidelined.

Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (quadriceps) is expected to miss roughly a week after suffering a contusion Wednesday, creating extra backcourt opportunities in the rotation. Veteran guard
Jimmy Butler III has averaged 22.0 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 6.2 assists across his last five games, including a 21-point, five-rebound, five-assist performance Wednesday, and he should hold firm rest-of-season value. Third-year guard
Brandin Podziemski also stands to see a usage bump, bringing 13.0 points on 40.0 percent shooting over his last five contests. Podziemski lines up as the short-term streamer while Curry recovers.

November 27, 2025
Brooklyn Nets forward
Michael Porter Jr. (back) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup with the 76ers, ending his appearance streak dating back to Nov. 3. His absence shifts more offensive weight onto
Noah Clowney, who erupted for 31 points and has scored at least 22 points in two of his last three games.
Tyrese Martin,
Ziaire Williams, and
Jalen Wilson also gain streaming appeal, though Clowney remains the clearest beneficiary with added usage and shot volume. Porter's next chance to return comes Saturday against Milwaukee.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
November 27, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers guard/forward
Paul George (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup against the Nets after participating in Thursday's practice. A potential absence would again open rotation room for
Dominick Barlow and
Justin Edwards. Barlow has averaged 7.4 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 2.0 assists across his last eight appearances, while Edwards has produced 9.0 points on 47.5 percent shooting over his last nine games. Both profile as deep-league streamers, with Edwards offering the cleaner scoring path if George remains out.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
November 27, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers guard
VJ Edgecombe (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, extending his multi-game absence. His downtime keeps
Quentin Grimes in a meaningful role, and the shooting guard has averaged 15.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists across his last five games while shooting 40.0 percent from the field. Grimes remains a solid streaming option for points and threes, while
Jared McCain, who posted 15 points in his last outing, offers deep-league appeal as he ramps up.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
November 27, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Nets, marking his ninth straight absence. His continued downtime keeps veteran center
Andre Drummond locked into starter minutes, and he has averaged 8.8 points, 14.8 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks across his last five outings while shooting 46.2 percent from the field. Drummond remains a strong short-term fantasy play for rebounds and defensive stats, especially with
Adem Bona (ankle) still limited and
Trendon Watford (adductor) remaining sidelined.

November 27, 2025
Kansas City Chiefs offensive tackle Jawaan Taylor was officially ruled out for the remainder of Thursday's contest against the Dallas Cowboys due to an elbow injury. Taylor, the team's primary right tackle, sustained this injury in the second half. The Chiefs also saw starting left tackle Josh Simmons (wrist) exit this game with an injury, leaving this offensive line quite shorthanded for the fourth quarter. Managers should pay close attention to his status leading up to their next contest against the Houston Texans. For the remainder of the game, Jaylon Moore and Wanya Morris will see more opportunities on the offensive line.
--Andy SmithSource: Kansas City Chiefs
November 27, 2025
Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pistons, marking his eighth straight absence. His continued downtime keeps second-year forward
Tristan da Silva in a stable role, and he has averaged 11.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 2.4 assists over his last five games while shooting 45.1 percent from the field. Da Silva should remain a viable short-term streamer, while
Anthony Black and
Goga Bitadze also see modest bumps. Banchero should stay rostered in all formats until he returns.

November 27, 2025
The Kansas City Chiefs have officially ruled out offensive tackle Josh Simmons (wrist) due to a wrist injury for the remainder of the contest against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday evening. The team's starting left tackle sustained this injury in the second half and has now been officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Fantasy managers should expect Jaylon Moore and Wanya Morris to see more opportunities on the left side of the offensive line during the remainder of the final frame. Simmons was selected in the opening round of the year's draft out of Ohio State and has played a key role on the offensive line throughout the first half of his debut campaign.
--Andy SmithSource: Kansas City Chiefs
November 27, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder forward
Jalen Williams (wrist) will make his season debut Friday against Phoenix, returning to a featured spot after averaging 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists last season. His comeback reshapes the perimeter rotation, where second-year guard
Ajay Mitchell logged 23 minutes Wednesday and produced 13 points with three assists. Williams should reclaim a heavy workload immediately, pushing Mitchell,
Cason Wallace, and
Isaiah Joe into smaller roles. Fantasy managers should view Williams as a clear must-start, while Mitchell and Joe shift toward deep-league streaming.

The Baltimore Ravens placed running back
Justice Hill (neck) on injured reserve due to a neck injury, according to the team. Hill returned in Week 12 against the New York Jets after missing Week 11 because of a toe injury, but will now miss at least the next four games. Hill played on 25.4% of the offensive snaps against the Jets and didn't record a touch, but returned one kickoff for 27 yards. The 28-year-old has mostly played on pass downs behind
Derrick Henry this season, handling 18 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns along with 21 receptions for 169 yards and another score on 27 targets as a receiver in 10 games. Hill's absence will lead to more opportunities for the dynamic
Keaton Mitchell, who is averaging 5.8 yards per carry on 23 attempts this season.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, according to the team. Kincaid opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but was upgraded to limited on Thursday, which potentially puts him in a position to return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old tight end hasn't played since injuring his hamstring during Buffalo's Week 10 loss at the Miami Dolphins, but has been improving in his recovery. Head coach Sean McDermott said earlier this week that "there's a chance" that Kincaid returns this Sunday, and we'll know more about his status after Friday's practice. Kincaid would provide a major lift to a Bills passing attack that has struggled lately, and he'd slot back in as a borderline TE1 for Week 13 if he can play.

November 27, 2025
New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave (back) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports. Head coach Kellen Moore downplayed the injury on Wednesday after Olave practiced in a limited capacity due to back spasms, but there is some concern after he was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. Friday will be an important day for fantasy managers to monitor the 25-year-old wideout's status for Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. If Olave were to miss Sunday's game, tight end
Juwan Johnson and wide receiver
Devaughn Vele figure to see more opportunities, with Johnson likely to rank as a borderline TE1 for Week 13.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Katherine Terrell
November 27, 2025
New Orleans Saints running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara missed practice for the second consecutive day and is trending toward missing his first game of the season in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old suffered a knee sprain during New Orleans' Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and is expected to miss some time. He'll have one more opportunity to practice on Friday, but in all likelihood, it will be rookie
Devin Neal leading the backfield on Sunday in Miami. Neal handled seven carries for 18 yards along with five catches (seven targets) for 43 yards in Kamara's absence last week, and offers RB2 value in Week 13 assuming Kamara is out.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Katherine Terrell
November 27, 2025
New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) was listed as limited in practice on Thursday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. It appears to be a new injury for Robinson that he picked up during the Giants' overtime loss to the Lions in Week 12. Robinson erupted with nine catches for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in the game with
Jameis Winston at quarterback. Rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) was cleared from concussion protocol and is expected to return on Monday night against the New England Patriots. Robinson has earned targets and had productive games with both Winston and Dart throwing him passes, and he should be fired up again as a WR2 in Week 13, assuming he is good to go.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Dan Salomone
November 27, 2025
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury that isn't considered significant, but he is likely to miss one to two weeks, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. St. Brown got rolled up on early in the first quarter against the Green Bay Packers and wasn't able to return. It's relatively positive news that the Lions' star wideout didn't suffer a major injury, but he will need at least a week or two to recover.
Jameson Williams went off in St. Brown's absence, catching seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown, and should see a big boost in opportunities over the next few weeks.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Ari Meirov
November 27, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice session, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Metcalf missed Wednesday's practice after suffering an ankle injury during Pittsburgh's Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, but the 27-year-old wideout's workload was expected to be managed early in the week. The former Seattle Seahawk looks to have avoided a serious injury that would force him to miss any time and should be expected to suit up on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Metcalf has had underwhelming production recently, failing to surpass 50 yards in each of his past four games. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR leagues for Week 13.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Tom Pelissero
November 27, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Rodgers missed Week 12's game against the Chicago Bears and was a non-participant in practice to open the week on Wednesday, but was back out there Thursday and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he was "highly optimistic" about Rodgers' chance to return on Sunday. The 42-year-old has been solid so far in his first year in Pittsburgh, but will have a tougher matchup in Week 13 against a Buffalo defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest passing touchdowns this season.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Tom Pelissero
November 27, 2025
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) is off the injury report and is all systems go for Friday's game against the Chicago Bears. Smith was a non-participant in Tuesday and Wednesday's practice, but practiced in full on Thursday. The 27-year-old has been hot recently, topping 80 receiving yards or more in three of his last five games. Overall, he has caught 55 passes for 754 yards and three touchdowns over 11 weeks. The Bears' defense is getting healthier and is expected to get standout defensive back Jaylon Johnson (groin) back on Friday. Despite Johnson's return, Smith is a low-end WR2 in fantasy against the Bears and is ranked 22nd among all wideouts heading into Week 13.

New York Giants rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially cleared concussion protocol and was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Dart has now fully practiced two days in a row and is expected to lead the Giants' offense on Monday night against the New England Patriots. He will return to action for the first time since Week 10 while
Jameis Winston backs him up. The 22-year-old has been fantastic this season, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores over nine games. Dart can be used as a streamer for Week 13 and is ranked 12th among all quarterbacks in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

November 27, 2025
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back
Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Blue is a healthy scratch again for the third straight game and hasn't suited up since Week 8 versus the Broncos. The Cowboys' rookie has rushed for 65 yards on 22 attempts while catching one pass for five yards over four games. With Blue a healthy scratch, look for
Javonte Williams to lead the Cowboys' backfield while
Malik Davis backs him up. Blue's next chance to suit up will be Week 14 against the Detroit Lions. The 21-year-old is difficult to trust and is mainly an option in dynasty leagues until he's active and has a role in the Cowboys backfield.

November 27, 2025
Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) won't return in the Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown was initially questionable to return after injuring his ankle during the first quarter of Thursday's contest. The 26-year-old was downgraded to out and won't return. The severity of St. Brown's ankle injury is unknown, but he is expected to undergo additional tests after the game. He remains day-to-day for now. St. Brown was targeted once before exiting early. His next chance to return will be in Week 14's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but expect
Isaac TeSlaa to see an increase in snaps and targets if St. Brown misses any additional time.

The Detroit Lions are expected to sign star running back
Jahmyr Gibbs to a contract extension this offseason. Gibbs is currently on the four-year rookie deal he signed in 2023 and could be the next Lion to sign a massive extension. The Lions are looking to keep their core together, as they recently extended
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson,
Jameson Williams, and
Jared Goff. Gibbs has been terrific for the Lions and fantasy managers this season. The 23-year-old has rushed for 951 yards on 155 rushing attempts and 10 touchdowns while catching 48 passes for 379 yards and three scores over 11 games. Gibbs has been one of the best running backs in football in an explosive Lions offense and is a surefire first-round pick heading into 2026 fantasy football drafts.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is questionable to return in Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown headed to the locker room after getting his ankle rolled up by his offensive line teammates in the first quarter. He was spotted with a noticeable limp and was targeted once before exiting early.
Jameson Williams and
Isaac TeSlaa should see an increase in targets with St. Brown sidelined. RotoBaller will continue to provide updates as they come in, and the severity of St.Brown's injury should be known soon.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) wasn't present at Thursday's practice. Benson was limited on Wednesday and not spotted for Thursday's session. The 23-year-old has not played since suffering a knee injury in Week 4. It's unclear if Benson was given a maintenance day, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation. He will have one more day to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Emari Demercado (ankle) was also not spotted at practice. If Benson and Demercado are unable to go in Week 13, look for
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter to lead Arizona's backfield once again. If active, Benson is considered a FLEX play in the first game back since Week 4 and is ranked 36th among all running backs heading into this week.

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to retain wide receiver
George Pickens for 2026 and beyond. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not want Pickens playing elsewhere in 2026. "We've got two No. 1 wide receivers," said Jones. Pickens was acquired by the Cowboys this offseason and has been excellent for Dallas in 2025. The 24-year-old has racked up 67 catches for 1,054 yards and eight touchdowns over 11 games. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season as he's in the final year of his rookie deal. The Cowboys could also place the franchise tag on Pickens if they are unable to agree on a contract extension. Pickens is a low-end WR1 in dynasty if he remains in Dallas, where the Cowboys are looking to extend and sign the former Steeler to a long-term deal. Pickens will look to keep things rolling against the Chiefs on Thanksgiving.
