Chicago Bulls guard/forward
Kevin Huerter (pelvis) will be available Friday against Charlotte, though his fantasy outlook remains shaky after logging just 19 and 10 minutes off the bench in his last two appearances. His reduced role aligned with
Coby White's return to full availability, which tightened Chicago's guard rotation and pushed Huerter into a smaller workload.
Tre Jones' 28-minute, 11-assist outing may also keep him in a steady bench role. Huerter stays a watchlist option until he regains meaningful minutes.

Cleveland Browns tight end
David Njoku (knee) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Njoku was limited during the first two practices of the week before getting in a full session on Friday. The full practice session was enough for Njoku to avoid an injury designation this weekend. At the moment, Njoku is looking like a touchdown-dependent option. Fellow tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. continues to split up the reps with Njoku. The rookie tight end has been having good success and appears to be pulling away with the starting spot.

Cleveland Browns running back
Jerome Ford (hamstring) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Ford has been limited in practice this week due to a lingering hamstring issue. The limited snaps will slap Ford with a questionable tag ahead of this contest. His absence isn't going to mean much for this Browns offense considering Ford's lack of involvement lately.
Dylan Sampson could see an expanded role if Ford is unable to play. Regardless,
Quinshon Judkins figures to see the majority of the snaps in the backfield.

November 28, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (finger) will return for Friday's game in Atlanta after missing the last three contests. The 27-year-old has averaged 14.8 points, 1.3 higher than last season. However, he hasn't been as productive in the rebounding department while also seeing a significant decline in field goal percentage. Still, Allen remains a must-start in any fantasy format, although he'll be returning against a Hawks defense that can be difficult, even without
Kristaps Porzingis (illness).
--Dennis ClausenSource: Spencer Davies
November 28, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf) is available for Friday's game versus Charlotte. He was listed as questionable heading into this one. While fantasy managers are glad to see him on the floor, there's a chance he won't suit up on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers due to injury management reasons. White is coming off a 24-point, six-assist, five-rebound effort in Monday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. He might be even more productive against the Hornets, a team that has struggled defensively this season.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Joel Lorenzi
November 28, 2025
Chicago Bulls center
Nikola Vucevic (knee) will play on Friday against Charlotte. The veteran didn't suit up for Monday's loss to the New Orleans Pelicans. Fortunately, it appears the lengthy layoff did him some good, limiting his time away to only one game. Vucevic will be returning versus a Hornets defense that has struggled throughout the 2025 campaign, giving him more than enough upside for season-long fantasy managers and DFS participants. His presence will mean less work for
Jalen Smith, who had 13 points and six rebounds on Monday night.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Joel Lorenzi
November 28, 2025
New Orleans Pelicans forward
Trey Murphy III (elbow) is uncertain for Saturday's game at Golden State because of right elbow soreness, which could keep him out of the opening game of a back-to-back. The Pelicans are already without
Jordan Poole (quadriceps) and
Herbert Jones (calf), which pushed
Saddiq Bey into a 39-minute workload Wednesday that produced 18 points, 10 rebounds, and three steals. A Murphy absence would keep Bey in strong streaming range, while
Micah Peavy and
Bryce McGowens offer deeper-league utility given the team's depleted wing rotation.

November 28, 2025
Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Malik Washington has hauled in multiple catches in nine straight games and has served as the team's second receiver since the injury to
Tyreek Hill (knee) in Week 4. While the receptions have been consistent, his yardage has typically been very minimal. He has only averaged 21.3 receiving yards per game and hasn't gotten to 50 yards in any game this season. He did have three catches for 42 yards in his last game before the bye week and had two touchdowns in his last four games. He does have a consistent role and limited upside, but he's only the No. 47 WR this week in RotoBaller's rankings, so in most standard-sized leagues, he is best left on the bench.
--Zach ThompsonSource: NFL.com
November 28, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Michael Mayer (ankle) is unlikely to suit up for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mayer hasn't been able to practice all week due to a lingering ankle issue. Head coach Pete Carroll said Mayer wasn't moving well, so it seems unlikely that Mayer is going to suit up. His absence won't be too significant with
Brock Bowers healthy at the moment.
Carter Runyon is likely to see more run behind Bowers, but he won't be worth a look in fantasy formats. It remains to be seen if Mayer will be healthy enough to play against the Denver Broncos in Week 14.
--Andy WebbSource: Ryan McFadden
November 28, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Tre' Harris had a 52.1% snap share and ran the third-most routes he has all season, but he only caught one pass on one target for 12 yards in the team's Week 11 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Harris is still well behind the team's other pass-catchers in terms of production and opportunities. He is set to face a Las Vegas Raiders defense that mainly runs zone coverage, a scheme that the rookie performs better against in every metric compared to man coverage. While the increased snap share is a positive sign for his long-term outlook, he remains too low on the depth chart to be a viable fantasy option. Fantasy managers should keep Harris on their bench unless a significant injury pushes him higher in the depth chart.

November 28, 2025
The Los Angeles Chargers D/ST enters Week 13 coming off a bye, which should help them recover from a poor performance against the Jacksonville Jaguars, where they recorded zero sacks and allowed 192 rushing yards and four touchdowns on the ground. They face a struggling Las Vegas Raiders offense that just fired their Offensive Coordinator, and their quarterback,
Geno Smith, is tied for the league lead in interceptions. Although the Chargers have struggled against the run all year, they are tied for second in passing yards, completions, and touchdowns allowed. They also run the most zone coverage in the league, which has produced mixed results for Geno Smith. With the Raiders giving up 10 sacks last week, the Chargers have high upside for turnovers and sacks. RotoBaller ranks the Chargers D/ST as D/ST2, confirming they are a strong streaming option with a very high floor and ceiling this week.

November 28, 2025
Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Gabe Davis was signed from the practice squad to the active roster on Friday. Davis has been elevated each of the last two weeks, but will now join the active roster. There's a spot available for Davis with
Curtis Samuel (elbow) heading to the injured reserve. Davis has been quiet with four receptions for 62 yards during his first two games of the season. The Bills are extremely banged up at wideout right now, so Davis might offer some fantasy value. The 26-year-old shouldn't be considered anything more than a deep league flex option ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
--Andy WebbSource: Buffalo Bills PR
November 28, 2025
Seattle Seahawks tight end
AJ Barner is a risky play in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Barner has been very inconsistent this season as he bounces in and out of the Seahawks' game plan. The Vikings are vulnerable to the tight end position in fantasy, but Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold does not always fixate on the second-year tight end. Barner has just two games with more than four targets this season. However, he has been very efficient, hauling in four touchdowns on just 33 receptions. That is not the type of volume you want to count on in fantasy. Given that the Seahawks should be able to roll to victory against a struggling Vikings offense, Barner's volume should remain low this week. If he finds the end zone, then you will be happy in fantasy. Unfortunately, Barner is a huge risk to deliver another single-digit outing for fantasy. As such, you should leave him on your bench in Week 13.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed is a risky starting option in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Shaheed is still finding his way as a member of the Seahawks. His snap count numbers continue improving as the weeks wear on, but his volume remains low. Shaheed was held without a catch in Week 12 after earning five targets in Week 11. The Seahawks have not yet unlocked Shaheed's big-play ability. However, with wide receiver
Tory Horton (shin) on injured reserve, the Seahawks need a player to unlock the deep area of the field. The Vikings are No. 2 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. However, all Shaheed needs is one big play to deliver a great fantasy day. Unfortunately, Shaheed is not a worthy starting option in Week 13, given the Vikings' solid defense and his lack of involvement. For now, he is a worthy bench stash until the Seahawks are able to figure out how to use him.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Seattle Seahawks running back
Zach Charbonnet is a risky play in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota is No. 11 against opposing running backs in fantasy. They are not world beaters, but they are allowing just 3.92 yards per carry to opposing running backs. Charbonnet has not been the most efficient running back this season, but he has been a great touchdown scorer. Charbonnet has scored seven touchdowns this season. In games in which Charbonnet scores a touchdown, he delivers RB2 or flex value. If Charbonnet does not score a touchdown, he is only able to score single-digit fantasy points. While the Vikings have a solid defense, Seattle should be able to move the ball against them. If they reach the five-yard line, Charbonnet will have a good chance to score. However, with no teams on bye this week and minimal running back injuries, Charbonnet is likely off the fantasy radar. If you are forced to start him, he is a very risky play.

November 28, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks forward
Giannis Antetokounmpo (adductor) will return for Friday's NBA Cup clash with the New York Knicks after missing his last four games. The Greek Freak was playing at an All-Star level before going down. While he could see fewer minutes than normal in his first game back in the lineup, he's still a must-start in any fantasy format. With Antetokounmpo back in the mix,
Gary Trent Jr. is in line to head back to the bench, with fewer scoring opportunities for
Ryan Rollins,
Kyle Kuzma, and
Myles Turner.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Milwaukee Bucks
November 28, 2025
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Cooper Kupp is not a great fantasy option in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. He is not receiving enough volume to provide consistent fantasy production. Kupp has been ok in games in which the Seahawks have been forced to put up a lot of points. With the Vikings struggling offensively, the Seahawks should be able to roll to victory in Week 13. Kupp's services are unlikely to be needed. The Vikings are also No. 2 against opposing wide receivers in fantasy. While slot receivers such as Kupp are often immune to those types of statistics, Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold is so indexed on wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba that it does not matter. Kupp should remain out of lineups in Week 13.

November 28, 2025
The Seattle Seahawks defense/special teams draws a nice matchup with the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy (concussion) will not play this week, and rookie quarterback
Max Brosmer will make his first start. Brosmer is a bit of an unknown, but a rookie in their first start generally does not fare well in the NFL. Additionally, McCarthy has struggled to move the Vikings' offense this season in general. If that is also the case for Brosmer, there will be several long downs that could result in sacks for the young quarterback. The Seahawks D/ST should have no issues exploiting Brosmer this week. This unit has a knack for getting after the quarterback with one of the best defensive fronts in the league. Additionally, Seattle is great at forcing turnovers in the secondary. With so many opportunities for turnovers and sacks, the Seahawks D/ST should have plenty of chances for defensive scores as well. If Seattle's offense takes care of business as it should, the defense should be able to tee off all day and keep Brosmer in check. Start this unit as a top ten option in Week 13.

Seattle Seahawks kicker
Jason Myers has been a main beneficiary of Seattle's offensive success in 2025. That should not change in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Myers has been a consistent kicker all season. What sets him apart from previous seasons is his ability to connect on deep kicks. The Seahawks consistently find themselves in opposing territory this season. If they make it over the 50-yard line, they are generally coming away with points of some sort. Myers has been provided opportunities to kick a lot of field goals and a lot of extra points. Minnesota has a solid defense; however, it has been exposed by better offenses at times this season. Seattle is playing at home in this game, which should give them and Myers an advantage. Look for Myers to deliver another high-end kicking day in Week 13.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers kicker
Cameron Dicker went 2-for-2 on field goals in Week 11 despite the team's struggles on offense. The Chargers possessed the ball for only 22 minutes and reached the red zone once against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Dicker now faces a matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders, whose middle-of-the-road defense has surprisingly allowed the tenth-fewest first downs this season. This creates a favorable situation for Dicker, as the Raiders' stout defense might lead to more field goal attempts than touchdowns. RotoBaller projects Dicker as K5 for the week. Fantasy managers should trust this ranking and consider Dicker a strong high-end K1, expecting more field-goal opportunities in this game.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ayomanor has been limited in practice all week due to a lingering hamstring issue. That being said, Ayomanor will carry a questionable tag into Sunday's divisional contest. When healthy, Ayomanor hasn't been anything more than a low-end flex option. If he misses another game,
Chimere Dike and
Van Jefferson figure to see larger roles again.
--Andy WebbSource: Jim Wyatt
November 28, 2025
Seattle Seahawks quarterback
Sam Darnold should have a fine game in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. Although Minnesota boasts a tough defense, Darnold has been able to consistently toss a couple of touchdown passes per game this season. Additionally, Darnold's connection with wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba has helped buoy a QB2 season from the veteran quarterback. Minnesota has a stout rushing defense, so expect the Seahawks to lean heavily on play-action passes. While Minnesota has a chaotic, attacking passing defense, Seattle should be able to find room to throw in this game. What is more, the Vikings will be starting rookie quarterback
Max Brosmer in Week 13 with
J.J. McCarthy (concussion) still in concussion protocol. As such, the Seahawks should be able to force short fields with an attacking defense of their own. With no teams on a bye this week, you may not need to stream Darnold. However, if you have struggled to find consistent quarterback play elsewhere, you could do much worse than Darnold in Week 13.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Jaxon Smith-Njigba should have an excellent game in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are not the best matchup for wide receivers because of their ability to get to the quarterback up front and deploy confusing coverages on the back end. However, JSN has been nothing but matchup-proof all season. Even in the toughest of matchups, Smith-Njigba somehow finds a way to push for 100 receiving yards and earn a scoring opportunity or two. At this point in the season, Smith-Njigba has established himself as one of the very best wide receivers in the league. He has a chance to become the first player to accumulate more than 2,000 receiving yards in a season. He is simply unstoppable. No matchup is going to keep JSN down this season. You can safely deploy him as a top-five wide receiver with upside for a No. 1 overall week in Week 13.
--Quincy Milton III - RotoBallerSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Jaylen Waddle will be coming off his bye week this Sunday for a home game against the Saints. Waddle has been a huge part of the Dolphins' recent surge and emerged as a reliable starter every week. The 27-year-old had over 80 yards five times in his last seven games and has hauled in three touchdowns during that span as well. Waddle has at least six targets in nine of his last 10 games and is averaging 65.6 receiving yards per game. With 6.6 targets per game, he's getting plenty of looks from
Tua Tagovailoa, and he's the WR9 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings in what should be a favorable spot against the Saints.
--Zach ThompsonSource: NFL.com
November 28, 2025
Tennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo (foot) is currently tagged as questionable for the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo has been limited in practice this week due to a lingering foot issue. When healthy, Okonkwo has been a bottom tier fantasy tight end this season. However, the 26-year-old has finished with 40 receiving yards or more in three of his last four games. His fantasy ceiling is fairly low while he continues to split up reps with
Gunnar Helm. If Okonkwo sits, Helm figures to see an expanded role in the offense.
--Andy WebbSource: Jim Wyatt
November 28, 2025
Detroit Pistons guard
Jaden Ivey (reconditioning) will be available Friday against Orlando after averaging 14.0 minutes across his first three outings. He contributed seven points, four rebounds, and one steal in his most recent game but remains limited as the team eases him back. His return pushes
Daniss Jenkins into a smaller role and slightly shifts second-unit usage. Ivey stays in wait-and-see territory for now, with his fantasy viability tied to whether his workload can rise into the mid-20s.

Philadelphia 76ers center
Adem Bona (ankle) will play on Friday versus Brooklyn after missing the last five games because of a sprained right ankle. The 22-year-old wasn't productive before going down with the injury, averaging only 2.2 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks. With
Joel Embiid (knee) sidelined, he may have had an opportunity for more involvement. However, it's been
Andre Drummond making the most of his afforded opportunities, averaging 10.9 points, 13.8 rebounds, and 1.0 blocks in eight starts. With that said, Bona could see some action on Friday, although he's tough to trust even with a favorable matchup on the horizon.

November 28, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end
Oronde Gadsden faces a tough challenge in Week 13 after recording just two receptions for 41 yards on five targets against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Gadsden's production has declined recently, and he didn't have a red-zone target for the first time in five games, likely because quarterback
Justin Herbert has had limited time to throw downfield. The matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders is particularly tough, as they are a top-five defense against tight ends, allowing only three touchdowns to the position all season. Despite the challenging defense and his decreasing downfield numbers, RotoBaller ranks Gadsden as TE6 this week. His quality targets keep him a strong option, but this matchup pushes him to a low-end TE1 with a potentially limited ceiling.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Indiana Pacers guard
Andrew Nembhard (quadriceps) won't play on Friday versus the Washington Wizards. He has a quad contusion, so fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he'll be back on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls. Without him,
T.J. McConnell, who had 16 points, seven rebounds, and six assists in Wednesday's two-point loss to the Toronto Raptors, could be in line to start. However, even if McConnell isn't with the first-five, he is certainly worth considering for all fantasy lineups.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Indiana Pacers
November 28, 2025
Miami Dolphins running back
Ollie Gordon II will continue to be the team's primary backup as they come back from their bye week and host the Saints. Gordon had a touchdown in Week 11 with nine carries for 45 rushing yards and a touchdown against the Commanders in Madrid. He has three touchdowns on the year, totaling 164 rushing yards on 50 carries. He played a limited role for a few weeks while dealing with an ankle issue, but he seemed to be past that issue in Week 11 and should definitely be 100% after the bye week. He played 39% of snaps and should continue to get a few opportunities each week as a change-of-pace back. He is the No. 57 RB in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, meaning that he is best left on the bench in most standard-sized formats in his role, even in this favorable matchup.
