Miami Dolphins running back
De'Von Achane has been on fire for the Dolphins during their recent run of success, and he is in a smash spot this week against the Saints. Achane produced 120 rushing yards and 45 receiving yards in Miami's win over the Commanders before last week's bye, and he was even better the previous week, with 22 carries for 174 and six catches for 51 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the Bills. This season, he has been extremely productive with nine touchdowns and an average of 115.5 rushing plus receiving yards per game. He has a great matchup against the Saints, who have been very beatable on the ground in the last few weeks. The combination of his recent surge and the Saints' struggles against the run makes Achane the No. 1 RB in all of RotoBaller's RB rankings for Week 13.

Golden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against New Orleans after missing seven straight contests, though he has resumed full 5-on-5 activity and appears close to returning. Kuminga logged several strong lines before the injury, including 25 points with 10 rebounds and 24 points with eight rebounds, and he could take on extra usage with
Stephen Curry (quadriceps) sidelined. His return would likely trim
Moses Moody's workload.

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.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Keenan Allen was a rare bright spot in the team's disastrous loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, leading the team with four receptions for 53 yards on six targets. Despite his route rate recently increasing, Allen's target rate has stabilized at around five targets per game, and he has only seen one red-zone target over the last four contests, limiting his overall upside. He faces a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, who play zone coverage at the second-highest rate in the league. Allen is significantly more effective against zone coverage than man, making him a reliable, high-floor target for the often under-pressure
Justin Herbert. RotoBaller ranks Allen as WR41 this week, reflecting concerns over his decreased usage and limited red-zone opportunities. Given his favorable zone matchup and reliability in moving the chains, Allen can be considered a sneaky FLEX option.

Miami Heat guard/forward
Andrew Wiggins (hip) is probable for Saturday's matchup with Detroit after logging 11 points, two rebounds, three assists, and two blocks in 31 minutes during his return from a three-game absence. The workload suggests he is back in a stable role, though Miami's improving health makes his night-to-night ceiling dependent on efficiency more than volume. Wiggins remains a viable category-league play for scoring and defensive stats, while
Jaime Jaquez Jr. (groin) may lose minutes if he is cleared.
--Brian DailisanSource: Anthony Chiang
November 28, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (groin) is probable for Saturday's game against Detroit after briefly cooling off once
Tyler Herro returned. Powell had been tearing it up before Herro rejoined the lineup, but his most recent outing with 11 points and four rebounds reflected reduced usage in a healthier rotation. He still sits in the viable streaming range for points and threes, though the ceiling is lower with Herro reclaiming 32 minutes and 29 points.
Bam Adebayo and
Kel'el Ware maintain steady fantasy value.
--Brian DailisanSource: Anthony Chiang
November 28, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Ladd McConkey seems poised for a strong bounce-back week after a quiet performance in Week 11, where he caught three passes for 13 yards on four targets in the team's blowout loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. McConkey faces a struggling Las Vegas Raiders defense that ranks middle-of-the-road against the pass. The Raiders rely heavily on zone coverage, which benefits McConkey since he has a higher rate of fantasy points per target against zone than man coverage. With quarterback
Justin Herbert struggling behind a battered offensive line, McConkey could see more quick, short targets to compensate for Herbert's limited time in the pocket. RotoBaller ranks McConkey as WR14 this week, and he should be considered a mid-tier WR2 who will be a primary focus in the passing game.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) has no injury designation and is good to go for Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Thomas practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and is set to return in Week 13 after missing three straight games with a high-ankle injury suffered during Jacksonville's win over the Raiders in Week 9. The second-year wideout hasn't been able to replicate his numbers from his historic rookie season so far, recording 30 receptions (60 targets) for 420 yards and two total touchdowns in eight games. Thomas will also have more competition for targets in his return, with the Jaguars acquiring
Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline,
Brenton Strange returning in Week 12, and the emergence of
Parker Washington. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR30 in PPR leagues for Week 13 against the Titans.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Adam Schefter
November 28, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder center
Isaiah Hartenstein (ankle) won't suit up for Friday's NBA Cup meeting with the Phoenix Suns. The 27-year-old has averaged 12.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals this season, so he's been reliable for the defending champs. He's dealing with ankle soreness, and while it doesn't seem like an injury that will keep him off the floor beyond Friday's contest, fantasy managers should monitor his status heading into Sunday's meeting with the Portland Trail Blazers. OKC will welcome
Jalen Williams (wrist) back to the lineup after missing 19 games to begin the 2025 campaign, which will certainly help lessen the blow. However, Williams will presumably be limited, meaning
Jaylin Williams may remain more involved than usual, although the former Razorback has averaged only 5.6 points and 4.5 boards this season.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 28, 2025
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.

November 28, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers running back
Kimani Vidal is expected to see significant usage in Week 13 after rushing for only 13 yards on five carries against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 11. Teammate
Hassan Haskins (hamstring) remains on IR, and rookie
Omarion Hampton (ankle) has been ruled out, even though the team opened his 21-day practice window earlier this week. Vidal has been inconsistent lately, but is likely to handle most of the carries against the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders have a surprisingly strong run defense, allowing just 3.7 yards per carry (second-best in the league), which could challenge Vidal's efficiency. However, the Raiders' defense is also the league's worst at stopping goal-line touchdowns, boosting Vidal's scoring upside in a game where the Chargers' coaching staff might lean on the run if the team gets an early lead. Given the opportunity and Hampton's injury status, Vidal should be upgraded to a mid-range RB2 for this week.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) fully practiced for the third straight day on Friday, but is listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports. However, head coach Todd Bowles said Friday that Irving is trending towards returning on Sunday for the first time since Week 4. The 23-year-old suffered a foot sprain and a subluxation of his shoulder during Tampa Bay's Week 4 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, and after missing a significant amount of time, his snaps and touches are expected to be limited on Sunday. The second-year back will split touches with both
Sean Tucker and
Rachaad White, creating a somewhat murky situation for fantasy managers. Irving is ranked as RotoBaller's RB24 in PPR leagues for Week 13.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Rick Stroud
November 28, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback
Justin Herbert enters Week 13 eager for a bounce-back after his worst performance of the season in Week 11. In the team's disappointing 35-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, Herbert completed just 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards and threw an interception before being benched early, marking his first game without a passing touchdown this season. For the upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Herbert should find better success despite the Raiders not having allowed a 300-yard passer this season. The Las Vegas defense plays zone coverage at the second-highest rate, where Herbert ranks middle-of-the-pack. However, his battered offensive line has allowed 35 sacks this season. That vulnerability raises concerns that Head Coach Jim Harbaugh and Offensive Coordinator Greg Roman hopefully addressed during the bye week. If the Chargers' defense can contain the struggling Las Vegas offense, the game may lean more toward a balanced running attack. RotoBaller ranks Herbert as QB9 this week, making him a solid but somewhat risky low-end QB1 with a limited ceiling due to protection and scheme issues.
--Don FanelliSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Omarion Hampton (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to Alex Insdorf of the Bolt Beat. Hampton has been sidelined since Week 5, and it was recently reported that he was dealing with a fractured ankle. The rookie first-rounder was listed as limited every day in practice this week, and will need at least another week before he's ready to go. It's also possible that Hampton operates in a timeshare with second-year back
Kimani Vidal when he returns, as indicated by offensive coordinator Greg Roman. That could limit the rookie's rest of season upside, but he was producing at a high level before going down with injury, recording 66 carries for 314 yards and two touchdowns along with 20 receptions (22 targets) for 136 yards as a receiver. Vidal is in line to handle the bulk of the touches again in Week 13 against the Raiders.

November 28, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice session, but is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Mayfield was upgraded to full after missing Wednesday's practice and being limited on Thursday. Head coach Todd Bowles said that the 30-year-old looked good in practice on Friday and is trending towards playing on Sunday against the Cardinals. Mayfield suffered a low-grade AC joint sprain to his left shoulder during Tampa Bay's Week 12 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and while he has a favorable matchup this week against an Arizona defense that has struggled recently, he projects as more of a high-end QB2 in Week 13 with the possibility of a re-injury.

The Minnesota Vikings will turn to undrafted rookie
Max Brosmer in Week 13 at Seattle, but fantasy managers should consider him the single biggest risk of the weekend. Already without backup
Carson Wentz (shoulder) following season-ending surgery, the Vikings will once again be without starter
J.J. McCarthy (concussion), who was unable to clear protocol in time to play. The Vikings have a talented group of skill players led by receiver
Justin Jefferson, but the Seahawks' defense has allowed scoring drives on fewer than 31% of opposing possessions, which is the second-best mark in the NFL. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 32 fantasy quarterback this week, Brosmer is a huge unknown facing unfriendly circumstances, making him a tough start in any format.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. has been solid when available, but a bad draw in Week 13 against Seattle makes him a risky start in fantasy lineups. Jones has finished between No. 12 and No. 27 among PPR running backs in four straight games, even in the midst of the team's offensive struggles, but this week may bring a new level of unpredictability. Due to injuries, Minnesota will play undrafted rookie quarterback
Max Brosmer, who has never started an NFL game. They will also be without left guard Donovan Jackson (ankle), while standout left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee, foot) is questionable. All of this comes against a Seattle defense that ranks seventh against PPR running backs. Jones gets enough receiving work to be in RB3/flex consideration, but managers can't be faulted for avoiding the Vikings' offense this week.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Minnesota Vikings running back
Jordan Mason is far down the list of fantasy options with his offense in rough shape as it prepares to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 13. The Vikings will be down to their third-string quarterback, undrafted rookie
Max Brosmer, who has never made a start in the NFL before. Minnesota will be without left guard Donovan Jackson (ankle), and could also be missing star left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee, foot). Additionally, Seattle ranks fourth against half-PPR running backs. Mason has two catches in four November games and is averaging 6.4 rushing attempts in Minnesota's past five games, diminishing his fantasy value as Minnesota has preferred
Aaron Jones Sr. when both backs have been available. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 47 running back for Week 13, Mason is a big risk in fantasy lineups this week.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
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.

The circumstances for Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Justin Jefferson have gone from bad to worse as the Vikings will be down to their third-string quarterback in Week 13 at the Seattle Seahawks. Already without backup
Carson Wentz (shoulder) for the season, starter
J.J. McCarthy (concussion) will miss yet another game, leaving undrafted rookie
Max Brosmer to make his first NFL start. The Vikings also could be without star left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee, foot) and have ruled out starting left guard Donovan Jackson (ankle). Against a Seattle defense allowing scoring drives at the second-best rate in the league, it's tough sledding even for one of the league's best receivers. Jefferson has performed with poor QB play before, but given the long odds, he should be considered more of a WR2 or high-end flex this week.

As the Minnesota Vikings' season circles the drain, wide receiver
Jordan Addison's weekly ranking has dipped outside the top 50 for Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks. Ranked as RotoBaller's No. 53 half-PPR receiver for this week, Addison is facing hugely unknown circumstances with the Vikings down to third-string quarterback
Max Brosmer. Starter
J.J. McCarthy (concussion) will miss the game, while backup
Carson Wentz (shoulder) already was out for the year following season-ending surgery. Fantasy managers who have started Addison recently have seen diminishing returns, as he has a total of seven catches in November during the Vikings' offensive struggles. Against a strong Seattle defense, Addison should be considered a risky option in most formats in Week 13.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
As the Minnesota Vikings prepare to start an undrafted rookie quarterback,
Jalen Nailor is a low-end wide receiver option in Week 13 at Seattle. The Vikings are down to their third-string quarterback,
Max Brosmer, who has never made a start in the NFL. The circumstances have considerably dimmed the prospects for everyone on the Minnesota offense, but especially Nailor, who already was facing an inconsistent target share behind fellow receivers
Justin Jefferson and
Jordan Addison. After a breakout Week 10 game, Nailor had just two combined targets in the next two games, which is nowhere near enough to rely upon in any fantasy format. Now, with even tougher circumstances ahead, Nailor can safely remain on waiver wires in the majority of fantasy formats.

New Orleans Saints running back
Devin Neal (ankle) will not carry an injury designation into Week 13 and is "good to go" for his team's matchup on Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, per Mike Triplett of New Orleans.Football. Neal was a limited practice participant on both Wednesday and Thursday due to the ankle issue, but was able to log a full session on Friday. With veteran Saints back
Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) officially ruled out for Week 13, Neal could have the chance to lead his team's backfield against Miami. Across seven games played this season, the rookie sixth-rounder has recorded 125 scrimmage yards on 29 touches. Neal did most of his work as a receiver in Week 12 after Kamara was forced to exit the game, hauling in five catches for 43 yards on seven targets. He profiles as a low-end fantasy RB2 in Week 13 against Miami.

November 28, 2025
The Minnesota Vikings' season has gone from bad to worse, and tight end
T.J. Hockenson now finds himself in TE3 territory as the club travels to Seattle in Week 13. The Vikings will not only be without starter
J.J. McCarthy (concussion), but backup
Carson Wentz (shoulder) is already out for the season, leaving the team to start undrafted rookie
Max Brosmer against a strong Seattle defense that is allowing scoring drives at the second-lowest rate in the NFL. Hockenson has cracked the top 15 PPR tight ends only once this season, and now he's relying upon a complete unknown under center. Predictably, the Vikings are the biggest underdog of the weekend, so managers rostering Hockenson may want to steer clear of this entire situation, even in formats that start two tight ends.
--Nick PiotrowiczSource: RotoBaller
November 28, 2025
Columbus Blue Jackets right wing Kirill Marchenko (upper body) will be on the shelf for a third consecutive game on Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. An upper-body injury has paused Marchenko's season after he posted a team-high 22 points (eight goals, 14 assists) in 22 games. In Marchenko's absence, Kent Johnson will head out on the top line Friday night. A spot next to Dmitri Voronkov and Adam Fantilli boosts Johnson's fantasy value, although he has been having a torrid time this season. The 22-year-old has finished 14 of his last 15 appearances scoreless, recording five points (two goals, three assists) in 23 games for the campaign.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Drake London (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 13 matchup against the New York Jets, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi. London suffered a PCL injury in Week 11 that will now sideline him for at least two games. His absence creates a major void in Atlanta's passing game, as London has recorded 60 receptions for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets across the nine games he's been healthy for in 2025. With London sidelined in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, tight end Kyle Pitts led the team in targets with five. Wide receiver
Darnell Mooney led the team with 74 receiving yards, and he was one of four Falcons to see exactly three targets from quarterback
Kirk Cousins. Mooney profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 13 against New York.

Seattle Kraken forward Jaden Schwartz (lower body) will be unavailable for six weeks. The veteran suffered a lower-body injury on Wednesday night against the Dallas Stars. Losing Schwartz is a big blow for the 11-6-6 Kraken, as he has been the team's leading scorer this season. In 23 appearances, Schwartz has recorded eight goals and 15 points. Jared McCann, who returned from a 17-game absence on Wednesday, is set to replace Schwartz in the top six. Meanwhile, Kaapo Kakko (lower body) is nearing his return and may be available as soon as Saturday against the Edmonton Oilers.

November 28, 2025
New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave (back) is officially questionable to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins due to a back injury. Olave was a limited practice participant on Friday due to the injury after being held out of practice completely on Thursday. Across 11 games this season, the 25-year-old has hauled in 69 catches for 734 yards and four touchdowns on 108 targets. If unable to go in Week 13, Saints tight end
Juwan Johnson might be the team's leading target earner against Miami, while wide receivers
Devaughn Vele and
Mason Tipton would likely both see an uptick in playing time. Should Olave be able to play, he's a good bet for double-digit targets and profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver in PPR formats.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker
Evan McPherson had a productive night in Thursday's win over the Baltimore Ravens, draining a career-high six of his six attempts. The 26-year-old had a quiet start to begin the 2025 campaign. However, with the Bengals offense clicking, he's been more involved since going 4-for-4 in the meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers on October 16. With
Joe Burrow (toe) back in the equation, the Bengals offense could have an easier time getting up and down the field, especially if the defense plays as well as it did on Thanksgiving. If that happens, McPherson should have no problem remaining one of the best fantasy kickers going. Keep him starting in Week 14 versus the Bills, assuming the weather in Buffalo cooperates.

Chicago Blackhawks winger Andre Burakovsky (undisclosed) is expected to rejoin the lineup on Friday against the Nashville Predators. He has recently battled an undisclosed injury, missing three games. The Blackhawks will use Burakovsky on the first line and the second power-play unit. During the campaign, Burakovsky has tallied five power-play points and 15 points (seven goals, eight assists) overall in 18 games. The 30-year-old, who has recorded four multi-point efforts in his past 10 outings, is enjoying a good bounce-back season after finishing with only 37 points last term.
