ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) is expected to be active for Sunday's road clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The former fourth-overall selection of the 2024 NFL Draft has been held out of Arizona's last two contests as he recovered from an appendectomy. After returning to practice this week on a limited basis for the first time since his surgery, the sentiment seems to be that he'll play, despite garnering a questionable tag ahead of Week 13's outing. If Harrison Jr. does indeed suit up, teammate
Michael Wilson figures to see a considerable dip in targets, while
Greg Dortch would go back to a minimal role in the offense. That is, if the 23-year-old is suitable for his usual allotment of snaps.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being limited every day in practice this week. Harrison has been recovering from appendectomy surgery, which has caused him to miss the past two games. There is a "solid" chance he makes his return in Week 13, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN. The second-year wideout should have appeal in Week 13 with how much pass volume Arizona has had with
Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. It will be interesting to see how he fits back into the offense with
Michael Wilson breaking out in his absence, but Harrison should reclaim his role as the top wideout in the passing game alongside star tight end
Trey McBride. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR leagues for Sunday's matchup against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 10th most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but is expected to play on Sunday. With
Trey Benson (knee) ruled out for his eighth consecutive game, and
Emari Demercado (ankle) sidelined again, Knight is in to draw the start and split touches with
Michael Carter. Carter has outsnapped Knight in the past two weeks with the same situation, but Knight holds the touch advantage with 23 compared to Carter's 15 in the past two games. The 24-year-old hasn't been efficient as a runner, recording 15 carries for 36 yards to go with eight receptions for 41 yards on nine targets, but has found the end zone in both games to return some fantasy value. Knight should lead Arizona in touches again on Sunday against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 11-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB36 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

The Arizona Cardinals D/ST bounced back in a tough Week 12 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Cardinals' D/ST was able to force a season-high four turnovers and score a touchdown. Entering Week 13, the Cardinals' D/ST is RotoBaller's 15th-ranked unit, facing a banged-up Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense. The Buccaneers have officially listed quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) and running back
Bucky Irving (shoulder/foot) as questionable for Sunday's matchup. Mayfield was held to under 10 passing completions and injured his left shoulder in his last outing against the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals' secondary has been able to snag nine interceptions this season, and could look to add to their total with Mayfield throwing three interceptions in his last two games. With an injury-riddled Buccaneers offense on the field, the Arizona Cardinals D/ST could be a sneaky Week 13 streaming option for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett is conducting one of the most pass-heavy offenses in the NFL this season. Brissett has completed 80 passes on 106 attempts over the last two weeks with a 75 percent completion percentage. The 32-year-old has flipped the Cardinals into a passing offense and has been able to produce multiple fantasy viable pass-catchers. Brissett enters Week 13 as RotoBaller's 11th-ranked quarterback in a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Over the last two weeks, the Buccaneers' defense has allowed opposing offenses to gain over 270 passing yards and three passing touchdowns. Against a struggling defense, Brissett has an opportunity once again to light up fantasy scoreboards in a high-volume role. Brissett could see the return of top wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix), who has officially been listed as questionable after missing the previous two games due to undergoing appendectomy surgery. Even if Harrison can't go, Brissett should be viewed as a low-end QB1 with upside and can comfortably be inserted into starting lineups.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter had an efficient week on the ground last Sunday and might see more touches in a tough Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Carter could be forced into the RB1 role in the Cardinals' offense if running back
Bam Knight (knee) is unable to play Sunday. Knight is listed as questionable for Week 13 after being limited in practice all week, which leans him towards being on the right side of questionable. If Knight plays, Carter will continue to be a change-of-pace back in a difficult matchup. The Buccaneers have allowed the seventh fewest rushing yards this season to ball carriers. Carter will need to see an uptick in volume in the passing game to stay fantasy viable. In deep leagues, Carter will be a risky flex option that will need to find the end zone to pay off for fantasy managers, whether Knight plays or not on Sunday.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson has taken fantasy leagues by storm right before the fantasy playoffs. In back-to-back games, Wilson has earned over 15 targets and produced more than 110 receiving yards. Wilson enters Week 13 as RotoBaller's 20th-ranked wide receiver in Half-PPR formats in a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers' defense has allowed opposing offenses to gain over 270 passing yards and three passing touchdowns in their last two games. Wilson could see more target competition if teammate
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) can play on Sunday. Harrison has officially been listed as questionable for Week 13 after missing the previous two games due to undergoing appendectomy surgery. Even if Harrison plays, Wilson has established a real connection with quarterback
Jacoby Brissett. The two have been able to connect 25 times for 303 yards on 33 targets over the past two weeks. Wilson is a WR2 with upside heading into Sunday's matchup and can be comfortably inserted into fantasy lineups.

November 29, 2025
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch is coming off back-to-back touchdown performances heading into Week 13. Dortch and the Cardinals' passing attack have been firing on all cylinders right before the fantasy playoffs. Entering Week 13, Dortch will have a favorable matchup against a struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass defense. The Buccaneers' defense has allowed opposing offenses to gain over 270 yards through the air and three passing touchdowns in their last two games. Dortch could see more target competition if teammate
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) can play on Sunday. Harrison has officially been listed as questionable for Week 13 after missing the previous two games, following appendectomy surgery a few weeks ago. If Harrison returns, Dortch can potentially be fantasy viable in deep leagues if the Cardinals' offense continues to be pass-heavy. Dortch will be a risky flex option in deeper leagues in Week 13, due to a potential crowded pass-catching room brewing in Arizona.

November 29, 2025
Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride has been a fantasy football cheat code this season. The Cardinals' pass-heavy offense is one of the few offenses in the NFL that runs its passing game through its tight end. McBride will enter Week 13 as RotoBaller's No. 1-ranked tight end in all fantasy formats in a favorable matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Buccaneers' struggling defense has allowed opposing offenses to gain over 270 yards through the air and three passing touchdowns in their last two games. McBride could find the end zone again on Sunday and has scored a touchdown in five of his previous six games. McBride is the lone Cardinals' pass-catcher whose fantasy production will not be affected by
Marvin Harrison Jr.'s (illness) potential return. Harrison has officially been listed as questionable for Week 13 after missing the previous two games after undergoing an
appendectomy. McBride will remain a set-it-and-forget-it TE1 for managers heading into Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter figures to remain in the mix for at least one more game. Fellow back
Trey Benson (knee) is working his way back in the mix, but has been ruled out for the Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That being said,
Bam Knight figures to operate as the lead back with Carter getting mixed in as well. Last week, Carter rushed the ball five times for 28 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He should once again see a handful of carries this weekend, but should fall to RB3 duties once Benson returns. Fantasy managers are unlikely to get much out of Carter after this weekend.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) is listed as questionable for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. The Cardinals' backfield could be dangerously thin if Knight isn't able to play this weekend.
Trey Benson (knee) will not come off the Injured Reserve, and
Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for another game, too. If the 24-year-old Knight doesn't get cleared by Sunday,
Michael Carter would jump into the RB1 role for the Cardinals, with
Jermar Jefferson likely backing him up. Knight has been serving as the team's No. 1 back with Benson out. He was limited in practice all week, suggesting that he's on the right side of questionable. He's averaging a paltry 3.1 yards per carry in nine games (five starts) this year. If active, he'll be a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to Bo Brack of PHNX Cardinals. Harrison was a limited participant every day this week in practice after missing the previous two games after undergoing an appendectomy surgery. The second-year wideout said that he feels good two weeks removed from surgery, but it's still to be determined if he will be able to return in Week 13. Harrison has collected 34 receptions for 525 yards and four touchdowns on 62 targets in nine games this season.
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch have emerged for the Cardinals in his absence and would be in for big roles again in Week 13 against the Bucs if Harrison is unable to suit up again.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (ankle) has been ruled out for his team's Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, per Darren Urban of azcardinals.com. Week 13 will mark Demercado's second straight missed game due to an ankle injury. With Demercado and
Trey Benson (knee) remaining out in Week 13, the Cardinals' backfield remains wide open.
Bam Knight (knee) has been the team's lead back in recent weeks, but he's listed as questionable to play himself due to a knee injury. If Knight is out or limited,
Michael Carter could take over the lead role in the Arizona backfield.
Jermar Jefferson could also see some work in Arizona after being active for the first time in 2025 in Week 12.

November 28, 2025
Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from Injured Reserve as early as Week 14, and while the team prepares for a Week 13 matchup with the Buccaneers, he was spotted putting in work off to the side with some of the team's athletic trainers. Veteran
Jacoby Brissett has been the team's starter since Week 6 and has reinvigorated Arizona's passing offense. Brissett has averaged 314.5 passing yards across his six starts, while throwing at least two touchdowns in five of six.
Trey McBride is currently the top-scoring fantasy tight end in the league, and with Marvin Harrioson Jr. (appendix) missing the past two games following an emergency appendectomy, Brissett has transformed
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch into week winners. While the result in the win-loss column has not been as favorable, it seems unlikely that Murray will reclaim the starting job anytime soon, and it's still possible he's already taken his last snap with the team.

November 28, 2025
According to head coach Jonathan Gannon, Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) will miss Sunday's outing with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Florida State alum returned to practice last week and worked in a limited capacity as he battles back from a lengthy absence due to a knee injury. Benson would start this week the same; however, he'd be downgraded to a DNP on Thursday, and will now miss his eighth consecutive contest. For what it's worth, Gannon noted that the 23-year-old won't be shut down long-term. With
Emari Demercado (ankle) and
Bam Knight (knee) also dealing with their own respective injuries, it could be
Michael Carter and
Jermar Jefferson manning the backfield against the Buccaneers. Jefferson has been active just once for the team and has yet to receive a touch in 2025.
