Kenneth Gainwell Becoming a Weekly PPR Option?
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell delivered another productive performance in Week 12 against the Chicago Bears, posting 10 carries for 92 yards while adding six receptions (six targets) for 30 yards. Gainwell's receiving workload in recent weeks has made him a viable fantasy option in PPR leagues. It's also been a consistent part of the former Philadelphia Eagle's scoring profile on the season, with four games of at least six receptions, tied with Bijan Robinson for the third most by a running back this season and only trailing De'Von Achane (five games) and Christian McCaffrey (nine). The Pittsburgh backfield has essentially been an even split between Jaylen Warren and Gainwell over the past three weeks. Gainwell holds a slight edge in snap share at 54.7% compared to Warren's 41.9%, though it's worth noting Warren left Week 11 early with an ankle injury. Gainwell has maintained his role in the passing game and could be the preferred option moving forward between the two.

A.J. Brown has All the Momentum Heading into Week 13
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown caught his fourth touchdown of the season and his first in three weeks last Sunday against the Cowboys, while also setting a season high for receptions (eight) and eclipsing 100 yards for the third time this year. Brown has racked up 21 targets over his last two outings, and could be in for another big day this week with DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) possibly being sidelined. Even if his fellow star receiver is out there, Brown looked like the WR1 he's expected to be versus Dallas and should continue this momentum. He'll face the Bears on Friday, whose defense allows the 11th-most fantasy points to WRs this season. This may be the start of a late-season surge for Brown, and he should be considered a mid-level WR2 in Week 13.

Tank Bigsby Have More Opportunities on Friday
Philadelphia Eagles running back Tank Bigsby could get his breakout moment this Friday if Saquon Barkley (groin) is unable to suit up. Bigsby is the only Philly RB besides Barkley to get any carries in the last two weeks, and would likely get his number called as the next man up should the Eagles' primary backfield option miss the game against Chicago. While the former Jaguar hasn't seen a ton of action since being traded to Philadelphia earlier this season, he has shown promise with his limited opportunities. In 10 games, Bigsby has carried the ball 18 times for 164 yards for an average of 9.1 yards per carry. The Eagles offensive live is always going to be a huge benefactor to whoever gets the handoffs, and fellow RB Will Shipley would probably be used more in the passing game. If he does get the starting nod, Bigsby should be seen as at least a mid-level RB2 against a Bears defense allowing the 14th-most fantasy points to RBs.

Saquon Barkley Primed for Bounce Back After Uncharacteristic Week?
Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was limited at practice on Wednesday. Barkley had his worst performance on the ground so far this season last week in a loss to the Dallas Cowboys, finishing with 22 yards on 10 attempts. Luckily for fantasy managers, he was able to find success in the passing game by catching seven balls for 52 yards, further proving how he can be efficient in more ways than one. Barkley shouldn't have the same run struggles on Friday as he faces a lackluster Bears defense allowing 138.1 rushing yards per game this year. Philly's offense fell stagnant in the second half against Dallas and is unlikely to do the same in what will be a hotly contested battle atop the NFC. Expect Barkley to get back to around 20 carries and be far more productive running the ball this week, and probably get a decent amount of targets through the air as well. His injury on a short week is something to keep an eye on, but if he's good to go he's a solid RB1.

Jalen Hurts Slated for Solid Air and Ground Attack
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' Week 12 game against the Cowboys was the second time this season he's had multiple rushing touchdowns in a single game-the other being in Week 1 against the Cowboys. He could resort to using his legs some more in his upcoming meeting with the Bears on Friday, as Chicago allows the fifth-most rushing yards per game this season (138.1). The Bears are also tied for the third-most passing touchdowns allowed, giving up 22 in 11 contests. Hurts may be without star receiver DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) this week, but he tends to spread the ball around anyway. In an effort to bounce back from the recent loss and with the high stakes of being up against a top threat in the NFC, Hurts should be on his A-game in this favorable matchup. He's a high-end QB1 in Week 13.

Parker Washington Establishing Himself as Reliable Fantasy Option?
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington looks like an impactful find off the waiver wire for fantasy managers who scooped him up a few weeks ago after injuries to Travis Hunter (knee) and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle). Since Week 7, Washington has played a full-time role for the Jaguars, amassing 22 receptions for 266 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets, averaging 12.4 PPR points per game and ranking as the WR28 in that time. The 23-year-old has operated mostly out of the slot and has developed a good connection with quarterback Trevor Lawrence. The trade deadline acquisition of Jakobi Meyers has taken away some of the target volume, and the return of Brenton Strange in Week 12, along with the expected return of Thomas in Week 13, could complicate things and limit Washington's upside. Washington ranks as RotoBaller's WR41 in PPR leagues for Week 13

Chris Rodriguez Jr. Poised For Lead Role Again in Week 13
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) was absent during Wednesday's practice due to an illness, but it shouldn't affect his status for Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos. Rodriguez has established himself as Washington's primary ball carrier in recent weeks with the struggles of rookie Jacory Croskey-Merritt. The third-year back out of Kentucky led the backfield with a 45.3% snap share in Washington's Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins in Madrid, handling a career high 15 carries for 79 yards to go with one reception (one target) for six yards as a receiver. He won't add much value as a receiver as Jeremy McNichols handles the pass-down responsibilities, but he should receive the majority of the early down work with Croskey-Merritt mixing in. Rodriguez has a tough matchup in Week 13 against Denver, but should get enough volume to profile as a low-end RB3.

Colby Parkinson Emerging as Fantasy Option?
Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson has scored in three consecutive games and has been a real piece of the offense, playing 61.9% of the offensive snaps and totaling 10 receptions (11 targets) for 96 yards and three touchdowns. Parkinson ranks as the TE3 in total PPR points (37.6) in that span. The 26-year-old has taken advantage of his opportunity with Tyler Higbee (ankle) on injured reserve, posting the third-highest route share (39.6%) on the team behind Davante Adams and Puka Nacua in Weeks 10 through 12. He hit a season high of 50% in Week 12, and that number could tick up more with how productive he's been. Head coach Sean McVay has expressed the desire to get rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson more involved, but that hasn't happened just yet. Fantasy managers desperate for tight end production could look at Parkinson for Week 13. He ranks as RotoBaller's TE27 in PPR formats.

Isiah Pacheco Returning to Lead Role for Chiefs on Thanksgiving?
Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (knee) doesn't have an injury designation heading into the Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys. Pacheco has missed three straight games since suffering an MCL sprain during Kansas City's Week 8 win over the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old logged three full practices this week, and it will be interesting to see how the running back touches will be distributed in his return on Thursday. Kareem Hunt has handled a big workload in Pacheco's absence, and just recorded a career high 30 carries in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Rookie Brashard Smith has held a small role, mostly on designed touches. Pacheco was the Chiefs' leading rusher before getting injured, but he will likely be eased back into action and split touches with Hunt. He is ranked as RotoBaller's RB41 in PPR leagues for Thanksgiving's game against the Cowboys.

Mike Gesicki Has a Slightly Higher Ceiling in Week 13
Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki made his return from a stint on the Injured Reserve list for the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. While he didn't do much for fantasy managers, he didn't play horribly, finishing with four grabs for 35 yards. Of course, Ja'Marr Chase wasn't available for that one due to suspension. However, with Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined, there should be more targets up for grabs from quarterback Joe Burrow (toe), who will make his return after being sidelined since the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Granted, the expectation is for Burrow and Chase to connect often. However, Gesicki's ceiling is still slightly higher than usual on Thanksgiving Night without Higgins in the lineup, giving him some credibility for those in desperate need of a tight end in Week 13.

Andrei Iosivas Expected to Remain More Involved in Week 13
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas took on a bigger role in the Week 12 meeting with the New England Patriots due to the suspension of Ja'Marr Chase. While he had only four catches, he still led the team in receiving yards (61) and targets (seven). With Tee Higgins (concussion) out for the Week 13 AFC North clash with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, Iosivas has an opportunity to remain more involved. However, with Joe Burrow (toe) back on the field after being sidelined since the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, most are expecting an even bigger day from Chase. Still, that doesn't necessarily mean Iosivas won't get attention from Burrow, but he's far from a safe fantasy option, making him a risky flex option on Thanksgiving night.

Ja'Marr Chase Ready to Roll on Thanksgiving After Suspension
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will return from a one-game absence for the Thanksgiving AFC North showdown versus Baltimore. The wideout remains a top fantasy option at the position. Although he has only five touchdowns, he has made up for it by totaling 79 catches for 861 yards, doing so without Joe Burrow (toe) for most of the season. Fortunately, Burrow will be back after suffering a toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the 25-year-old and Joe Flacco (shoulder) appeared to have a good thing going, Burrow is considered an upgrade, even if he struggled in his brief time on the field this season. The absence of Tee Higgins (concussion) might make Chase even more productive despite the expectation of increased attention from the Ravens defense, giving him plenty of upside for fantasy managers on Thursday night.

Chase Brown May See More Pass-Catching Chances Versus Baltimore
Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown surpassed the 100-yard mark for the second time this season in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots. Although he didn't find the end zone, fantasy managers were still mostly satisfied with the result. With a productive showing in the rear-view mirror, Brown and company will look to pick up a much-needed win over the Ravens in Week 13. Fortunately, Joe Burrow (toe) will be back after being sidelined since the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ja'Marr Chase will also return after serving a one-game suspension. However, the Bengals will be without Tee Higgins (concussion), so there will be extra targets up for grabs. Naturally, Burrow should look in Chase's direction often. Andrei Iosivas could also be in line for more attention. Still, Brown might see even more pass-catching chances than usual, giving him a higher ceiling for fantasy managers on Thanksgiving.

Joe Burrow Looking to Keep Bengals Slim Playoff Hopes Alive on Thursday
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow (toe) was activated from the Injured Reserve list and will suit up for an AFC North clash with Baltimore on Thanksgiving. The signal-caller had been on the shelf after suffering a toe injury in the Week 2 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, resulting in surgery. Naturally, fantasy managers are glad to have him back in the lineup. However, there are still some concerns, considering Burrow threw for only 189 yards and two touchdowns while completing 58.3% of his attempts before going down. He'll also be returning versus the Ravens, winners of their last five contests, and doing so without Tee Higgins (concussion). Fortunately, Ja'Marr Chase will be back from his one-game suspension, which will certainly help make things easier. Chase Brown is also a capable pass-catcher out of the backfield, and Andrei Iosivas has been known to turn up the volume at times in his brief career. With that said, although Burrow may have some residual rust from the lengthy layoff, he can be plugged back into all fantasy formats in Week 13 against a Ravens defense that hasn't looked the best this season when facing a few of the top quarterbacks from around the National Football League.

Tatsuya Imai to Meet With MLB Teams Next Month
Japanese 27-year-old right-hander Tatsuya Imai is expected to come to the United States in the first few days of December to meet with several major-league baseball teams, sources told Francys Romero. Imai is going to be one of the top starters on the market this offseason after he was one of the best pitchers in Nippon Professional Baseball over the last couple of years. He was great while pitching for the Seibu Lions in 2025, going 10-5 with a 1.92 ERA and 178 strikeouts in 163 1/3 innings. The New York Yankees, who are dealing with injuries to starters Carlos Rodon (elbow), Gerrit Cole (elbow), and Clarke Schmidt (elbow), are expected to be one of the top suitors for Imai. The Baltimore Orioles are another team in the American League East that figures to be in on Imai, as well as other available starting pitchers this winter.

Lions D/ST Getting Healthier Up Front Heading into Week 13
The Detroit Lions' defense got lit up in Week 12, allowing 27 points to the New York Giants and 366 passing yards to backup quarterback Jameis Winston. Detroit has been vulnerable against the pass for much of the season, as it has allowed the seventh-most touchdown passes (21) in the NFL through 12 weeks. The Lions will now take on the Green Bay Packers in Week 13 on Thanksgiving Day. Green Bay has been a solid offense overall but has had some struggles of late, averaging just 17.5 points per game over the last four weeks. Detroit's defense will get defensive end Marcus Davenport (pectoral) back from Injured Reserve in Week 13, but will remain without star safety Kerby Joseph (knee) and could also be missing cornerback Terrion Arnold (concussion). All in all, the Detroit D/ST profiles as a borderline, low-end starting unit for fantasy managers in Week 13.

Brandon Aubrey Remains An Elite Option in Week 13
Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has struggled as of late, averaging around six fantasy points over his last four games. Aubrey has shown he is one of the best kickers in the NFL and should get back to producing like the elite kicker he is in fantasy very soon. The Cowboys are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13, which should be one of the highest-scoring games of the week. With an implied scoring total of 52.5 points, look for Aubrey to have plenty of scoring opportunities in a high-scoring matchup. RotoBaller currently has Aubrey as the fourth-ranked kicker in Week 13.

Jake Bates Remains a Solid Starting Kicker Option in Week 13
Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates was one of the heroes of his team's Week 12 win over the New York Giants, bending in a 59-yard field goal to send the game to overtime. After a relatively shaky start to the season, Bates has now made six straight field goal attempts over his last three games. He'll have a second straight game in the friendly confines of Ford Field in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. For his career, Bates is averaging 8.6 points per game at home, compared to 7.4 on the road. If there's one concern for Bates in Week 13, it's Green Bay's prowess as a scoring defense. The Packers have held three of their last four opponents to 16 points or fewer and held the Lions to 13 points in the first matchup between the two teams this season in Week 1. Still, Bates profiles as a solid starting kicker option for fantasy managers in Week 13.

Isaac TeSlaa Could See Season-High Snap Share if Active in Week 13
Across the first 11 games of his NFL career, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) has hauled in four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. He's also been limited in practice this week by a hand injury and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. However, if TeSlaa is active in Week 13, he could see a sizable increase in playing time and target share. Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out, and the Lions will also be without top pass-catching tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck). Still, Green Bay is a very difficult matchup for opposing pass games. Through 12 weeks, the Packers are allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Even with the projected boost in snap share, TeSlaa should remain off fantasy radars in Week 13.

Jayden Higgins a Week 13 Flex Candidate
Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins has seen at least seven targets in three straight games, cracking double-digit fantasy points in half-PPR formats twice in that stretch while finishing no lower than WR28. With that recent success coming on the receiving end of passes from Davis Mills, it remains to be seen if Higgins can maintain the same level of success following the return of quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion), who continues to work through the league's concussion protocol and was a full participant at Wednesday's practice. Higgins, however, topped a 13% target share in two of Stroud's last three fully healthy games, and the Texans face a Colts defense in Week 13 that has given up the fifth most fantasy points above expectation to the wide receiver position. With Higgins finding the endzone in three of his last five games, he has earned flex consideration regardless of who is under center.

Jameson Williams Remains a Boom/Bust Option in Tough Week 13 Matchup
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had a brutal showing in Week 12 against the New York Giants, recording zero receptions on three targets. The 24-year-old is one of the most difficult players for fantasy managers to predict. He's recorded at least 66 receiving yards and a touchdown in four out of his last six games, but the two contests where he did not reach those marks were both zero-catch performances. Williams and the Lions now get a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, the Packers defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Williams struggled against Green Bay in his first matchup against them back in Week 1, recording four catches for 23 yards on five targets. However, the Lions will be without wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) and top tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13, which could mean more targets for Williams. He profiles as a boom-bust, low-end fantasy WR2 in against Green Bay.

Amon-Ra St. Brown Looking to Extend Double-Digit Target Streak in Week 13
Across 11 games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has hauled in 75 receptions for 884 yards and nine touchdowns on 107 targets. Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been absolutely force-feeding St. Brown the football in recent weeks, as the star wideout has been targeted at least 12 times in three out of Detroit's last four games. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 13 against a Green Bay Packers defense that is currently allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Green Bay held St. Brown to just four catches for 45 yards on six targets in the first matchup between these two teams this season in Week 1. The usually sure-handed St. Brown has also struggled with drops this season, posting a career-high 6.5% drop rate. However, Detroit will be without tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) as well as wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) in Week 13, which should only further funnel targets to St. Brown. The 26-year-old profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver against Green Bay.

Chimere Dike a Flex Candidate in Deeper Leagues
Since the firing of head coach Brian Callahan following a 1-5 start, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has been on a 17-game pace of 65 receptions for 768 yards and seven touchdowns. He has also added two punt return touchdowns in that time while looking explosive anytime he's had the ball in his hands. While most fantasy leagues do not reward players for punt or kick return yardage, Dike is currently on pace to set the NFL record for all-purpose yards in a single season. While the Tennessee offense is still not one that demands its players be started, number one overall pick Cam Ward has shown clear signs of improvement of late and a growing cohesion with his young pass catchers. In deeper leagues, Dike has played his way into flex consideration, and he faces a league-average Jaguars pass defense in Week 13.

David Montgomery Tough to Trust in Challenging Week 13 Matchup
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.

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.
