Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) is hopeful to get back on the field for the Week 13 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Stroud has been sidelined since he suffered a concussion during the Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos. He remained in concussion protocol to begin the week, but the organization is optimistic he'll be ready to go this weekend. If he plays, Stroud should immediately return to having viable streaming value. During his last full game, Stroud threw for over 300 yards with two touchdowns. The 24-year-old should creep into the QB1 conversation, assuming he's cleared to play this weekend.

Miami Dolphins quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa is hopeful for better results after a few lackluster performances before the bye in Week 12. Tagovailoa has been held to 205 passing yards or fewer in three of his last four games. Despite that, Tagovailoa did have a four-touchdown game during that span. The 27-year-old is an intriguing option heading into the Week 13 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. The Dolphins should come into this game refreshed after the bye and will face off against an average pass defense. Fantasy managers in need of a possible streaming option might want to consider Tagovailoa who should offer at least QB2 value.

Miami Dolphins running back
Ollie Gordon II could see a larger role in this rushing attack coming out of the bye week. In Week 11, Gordon rushed the ball nine times for 45 yards and scored a touchdown in the win over the Washington Commanders. The rookie back saw a season-high 39 percent of the offensive snaps during that contest. His nine touches on the ground also tied for the second-most Gordon has seen this season. The rookie back has proven to be a viable option when given the chances in this offense. He could see an expanded role in the offense when the Dolphins take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. The 21-year-old could be worth a stash in deep leagues heading into this matchup.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Kalif Raymond (ankle) missed his second practice of the week on Tuesday due to an ankle injury, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. It's looking like Raymond won't be able to play on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday when the division-rival Green Bay Packers come to town after he hurt his ankle in Sunday's overtime victory over the New York Giants. If he is unable to practice on Wednesday, Raymond will almost certainly be ruled out for Week 13, which would open up more snaps for rookie third-rounder
Isaac TeSlaa. The 31-year-old Raymond has had a limited role in Detroit's offense in his fifth year with the team, catching only 15 of 19 targets for 150 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games played. He caught both of his targets in Week 12 for 37 yards, his second-best yardage output of the year.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is dealing with a hand injury and has been limited in practice on Monday and Tuesday, according to ESPN's Eric Woodyard. TeSlaa only has four receptions in 11 games played in his first NFL season, but two of those grabs came in the end zone for Detroit. The 23-year-old third-rounder out of Arkansas has played through an oblique issue recently as well, but he should be good to go for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day tilt against the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 13. Fellow wideout
Kalif Raymond (ankle) is in danger of being inactive after two missed practices already this week, so it's possible that TeSlaa could have an expanded role for the Lions. Still, TeSlaa would be an incredibly risky fantasy option. He hasn't caught a pass since Nov. 9 and hasn't seen more than two looks in a game in 2025.

Detroit Lions tight end
Brock Wright (neck) injured his neck in Sunday's overtime win over the New York Giants and has missed two practices this week. Wright will probably need to practice in some capacity on Wednesday to avoid being ruled out entirely. With
Sam LaPorta (back) going on Injured Reserve, Wright has operated as the team's top pass-catching tight end the last two weeks, but it has amounted to only five catches for 37 yards on 11 targets. If the 26-year-old is ruled out for Thursday's game versus the division-rival Green Bay Packers,
Ross Dwelley figures to see an expanded role for Detroit at the TE position. Fantasy managers should be looking for better and healthier streaming options at tight end in Week 13. Wright is currently rostered in only 2% of Yahoo leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Dontayvion Wicks (calf) continues to be limited at practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday due to an ongoing calf issue, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Wicks has been on the team's injury report for the last three weeks with a calf injury, but he has managed to play through it. The 24-year-old should be out there again this Thursday on Thanksgiving Day against the division-rival Detroit Lions, but he's purely a deep-league dart throw, at best. That will be especially true if both
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) and rookie
Matthew Golden (wrist) return from their injuries this week. Wicks scored nine times in his first two years in the NFL with Green Bay, but he's still searching for his first touchdown through 12 weeks of the 2025 season. He has 20 catches for 213 yards on 34 targets in nine games.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Tuesday with a wrist injury, according to Eric Woodyard of ESPN. Golden missed Sunday's decisive win over the Minnesota Vikings at Lambeau Field with shoulder and wrist injuries. The 22-year-old Texas product is tracking towards returning on Thanksgiving Day on Thursday against the division-rival Detroit Lions, though, now that he's clear of his shoulder injury. Golden probably needs to practice in full on Wednesday to avoid taking another questionable tag into game day. Fantasy managers who bought into the preseason hype surrounding Golden have been disappointed so far in 2025, as he's caught just 24 passes for 286 yards on 32 targets. He's still searching for the first touchdown of his career, and his chances of contributing down the stretch aren't going to get any better now that
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) is nearing a return.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson had a solid, albeit unspectacular, fantasy day in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. The 23-year-old rushed 14 times for 70 yards and caught both of his targets for an additional 37 yards. He was unable to find the end zone, though, as wide receivers
Darnell Mooney and
David Sills V each caught the Falcons' only two touchdowns on the day. While the rushing yardage was good, averaging five yards per carry, the number of targets was disappointing. Two of his lowest target totals this season have come in the two games with
Kirk Cousins under center, averaging 2.5 targets per game, compared to 5.1 targets per game in the nine games with
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) at the helm. It was disappointing enough that
Tyler Allgeier was vulturing touchdowns, but now it seems his work in the passing attack will also take a hit with the QB change. The third-year pro is one of the most explosive and talented backs in the league, but his fantasy floor appears to be lower than it was earlier this season. Even so, he'll likely remain a top option at running back in Week 13 when the Falcons go on the road to visit the Jets, a defense that has yielded the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) was listed as limited again in practice on Tuesday, per ESPN's Eric Woodyard. Reed returned to practice last Friday for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 2. The 25-year-old is also recovering from surgery for a Jones fracture in his foot. Reed will probably need to upgrade to a full practice on Wednesday for the Packers to even consider officially activating him from Injured Reserve to play on Thanksgiving on Thursday against the division-rival Detroit Lions. He's a stash candidate in most fantasy leagues, but even if Reed were to play on Turkey Day, he wouldn't be a recommended starting lineup option in his first game back after a long layoff. The most likely scenario is that Green Bay holds Reed out until their Week 14 divisional matchup against the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Dec. 7. "You'll find out Thursday," head coach Matt LaFleur said when asked if Reed could play given his lack of practice time.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) missed his first game of the year in the Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings due to a knee contusion, and he should be considered questionable for the Week 13 divisional clash against the Detroit Lions on Thursday on Thanksgiving Day after being listed as limited for the team's first two practices of the week on Monday and Tuesday. The 27-year-old's injury isn't considered serious, but the Packers could play it safe with their star RB on a short week. Jacobs may need to upgrade to a full practice on Wednesday to avoid a questionable tag going into Thursday's game. He has been a must-start RB1 in fantasy football with 11 touchdowns in 10 games this year, but fantasy managers could be without him for a second straight game. If Jacobs is out again in Week 13,
Emanuel Wilson will be a plug-and-play RB2 again after scoring twice and rushing for over 100 yards on Sunday.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
KaVontae Turpin (illness, shoulder) was back at practice on a limited basis on Tuesday due to an illness and a shoulder injury, per The Athletic's Jon Machota. Turpin's return to the practice field on Tuesday after being a DNP on Monday is a sign that he's trending towards being available on Thanksgiving on Thursday versus the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old caught one pass for a 48-yard pickup on two targets in Sunday's win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Turpin is more of an asset for Dallas as a kick returner on special teams. He has not caught more than two passes in a game since Sept. 28 against the Green Bay Packers, and his only score on offense in 2025 came back on Sept. 14 versus the New York Giants. If active on Thursday against KC, Turpin isn't a realistic starting option in fantasy football lineups.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
George Pickens (calf, knee) was officially listed as limited at Tuesday's practice, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Pickens was estimated as a non-participant on Monday, so it's an upgrade for the 24-year-old's status heading into Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in Week 13. Pickens is a little banged up with multiple injuries, but he's fully expected to play this week and should remain locked into all fantasy football lineups as Dallas' No. 1 wideout in 2025. Pickens brings a 67-1,054-8 line into Thursday's game on 92 targets in his first year with the Cowboys. The matchup against the Chiefs is not ideal, but Pickens is a must-start as the WR2 in half-PPR scoring this year.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Rashee Rice (hamstring) practiced in full capacity on Tuesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. Rice was upgraded to a full participant after being estimated as limited in Monday's walk-through. The 25-year-old tweaked his hamstring during Kansas City's Week 12 win over the Colts and had his lowest snap share in a game (62.5%) since returning from suspension in Week 7, but it didn't stop him from posting a career high 141 yards and the first 100-yard game by a Chief this season. The injury shouldn't concern any fantasy managers after a full practice on Tuesday, and Rice should feast again in a potential shootout against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

November 25, 2025
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Tuesday's practice session, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. Worthy was estimated as limited in Monday's walk-through, but was upgraded to full on Tuesday and should be all good to go for Kansas City's Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving. The second-year wideout recorded four catches for 59 yards on eight targets in the Chiefs' win over the Colts in Week 12, his most yards in a game since Week 4 against the Ravens. Worthy made one of the biggest plays of the game on the Chiefs' final drive to set up the game-winning field goal, beating his man deep for a 31-yard gain on a third down. He has a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 13, where he will again rank in the WR3 range.
