Los Angeles Rams running back
Blake Corum had his best game of the season in Week 13, rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries. While the Rams were upset by the Carolina Panthers, Corum was a bright spot in the loss and is continuing to make an impact on this Rams' rushing attack. Earlier in the season, head coach Sean McVay expressed that he wanted the backfield to be a 65/35 split between starter
Kyren Williams and Corum, and that has been the case this season. While Williams has been efficient in 2025, Corum has significantly cut into his workload and made a strong impact of his own. The Rams face the struggling Cardinals' run defense in Week 14, which has allowed double-digit fantasy points to every starting running back they've faced in 2025. While it's a full-blown committee in Los Angeles, both backs carry starting fantasy value in Week 14.

Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline is expected to be the next head coach at South Florida, according to OnSports. The former Ohio State and Miami Dolphins wide receiver is a rising star in the coaching ranks thanks to his work with the Buckeyes' wide receivers in recent seasons, including Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka, Jeremiah Smith, and more, since landing the WRs coach role in 2018. He took over for Chip Kelly as the team's offensive coordinator in 2025 and has flourished in his first year in that role. This is a great hire for USF, which just lost head coach Alex Golesh to Auburn.

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Texas A&M offensive coordinator Collin Klein is expected to be targeted at Kansas State if head coach Chris Klieman steps down. Klein has been excellent as A&M's play-caller since leaving the Kansas State staff in 2023, and the 36-year-old was a star quarterback for the Wildcats from 2008 to 2012. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist and the winner of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award in his final season in Manhattan. In 2025, Texas A&M tallied 454.4 yards per game, including 192.7 rushing yards per game (second-best in the SEC). The Aggies had an explosive and balanced offense during the regular season, and quarterback Marcel Reed progressed mightily as a passer. This is obviously a natural fit for Klein, and it would not be surprising to see it come to fruition.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Omarion Hampton (ankle) is gearing up for a return in Week 14, when they host the Philadelphia Eagles. Hampton hasn't played since Week 5, after he suffered a left-ankle fracture in the loss to the Washington Commanders. Before the injury, the 2025 first-round pick was starting to play his best football, totaling 291 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in the two weeks before the injury. However, this run game will become more of a committee than what was previously used earlier in the season.
Kimani Vidal has been a force in the run game with Hampton out, logging over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown in four of his last seven games. Hampton's return will be at a great time for fantasy managers, as they prepare for a championship run in their leagues, but his value will be more as an RB2 than as the RB1 he was before.

Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman is considering stepping down, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Thamel reports that nothing has been finalized, but the two sides are in discussions. Klieman took over the Wildcats' program following five seasons at North Dakota State, where he won four FCS National Championships from 2014 to 2018. In seven seasons with Kansas State, he's racked up a 54-34 record, including a 10-4 season and Big 12 title in 2022. The 2025 campaign was a bit of a disappointment, as many expected the Wildcats to compete for a conference crown and a trip to the College Football Playoff. Instead, K-State posted a 6-6 record, going 0-3 against ranked teams and dropping a home game against Army in Week 2.
Update: Klieman is set to announce his retirement this week.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBallerSource: Pete Thamel - ESPN

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Devaughn Vele has been earning more playing time over the past three games, and in the last two specifically, he has been making the most of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has earned 15 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 130 receiving yards and one touchdown. Over the past three games for the Saints, he has played 87 percent or more of the snaps, whereas before Week 10, he hadn't played more than 51 percent. The departure of
Rashid Shaheed opened the opportunity for Vele to step up. He has built a solid relationship with rookie quarterback
Tyler Shough, and because of that, he has worked his way onto the radar as a relevant fantasy option moving forward.
Chris Olave remains the Saints' clear No. 1 receiver; however, Vele has seen his value rise and is worth a look in deeper formats.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport spoke on Good Morning Football on Wednesday and reported that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will get a little healthier this week, leading to Week 14's crucial AFC North matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams are sitting at (6-6) at the top of the division, and the winner, for now, would take sole possession of the division with a few weeks left to go in the 2025 regular season. Rodgers has been dealing not only with a wrist injury but also a busted-up nose in Week 13; however, as Rapoport reported, Rodgers is a bit healthier this week, and the Steelers are going to need him to turn back the clock and perform well to give the Steelers a shot at the postseason. In his 21st NFL season, Rodgers has thrown for 2,086 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

New York Jets wide receiver
Adonai Mitchell has seen his stock rise since being traded to the New York Jets and being provided the opportunity to line up as the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver with
Garrett Wilson (knee) on the Injured Reserve. In his three games since playing with the Jets, he's seen 25 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 154 receiving yards and a touchdown. His breakout game came in Week 13, where he went for over 100 receiving yards and a score. With
Tyrod Taylor under center and the passing attack looking better the last few weeks for the Jets, Mitchell will hold WR3/flex fantasy value moving forward, especially while Wilson remains sidelined.

December 3, 2025
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Jalen McMillan (neck) is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, a source said. The Bucs also opened fellow wide receiver
Mike Evans' (collarbone) practice window Wednesday just in time for the end-of-season run for the (7-5) Buccaneers. McMillan had himself a nice rookie season in 2024, with 461 receiving yards on 58 targets and eight touchdowns. He stepped in for the injured Chris Godwin at the time after he suffered an ankle injury during the middle of the season and missed the rest of the 2024 campaign. As great as this news is for the Bucs and McMillan, it's not the most fantastic news for fantasy managers of
Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin,
Tez Johnson, and
Cade Otton, as once Evans and McMillan get thrown into the mix, there's going to be a lot of pass-catchers in this offense and challenging for any one receiver to have any level of consistency if quarterback
Baker Mayfield spreads the ball around, which he likely would. McMillan would likely be on the lower end of that pecking order, not making him fantasy relevant for the rest of the 2025 season, but still a good option in dynasty formats.

December 3, 2025
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' legendary wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) is having his practice window opened off Injured Reserve, and he'll return to practice Wednesday. A quicker-than-expected return from a broken clavicle, Evans has been medically cleared. This is fantastic news for Mike Evans and the Buccaneers (7-5) as they make a push to win an NFC South title. From a fantasy perspective, it opens the opportunity for Evans to be an option for the fantasy playoffs. It's been a tough year for Evans from an injury standpoint: he injured his hamstring and missed Weeks 4-7, then played in Week 7 and had this collarbone injury. For the season, he's really only played three healthy games, so it will be the first time in his excellent 12-year career that he will not eclipse 1,000 receiving yards. However, getting back on the field to help the Bucs compete for a title is where his head should be. Should Evans suit up in any of the following weeks, he can be inserted into lineups as a low-end WR2 immediately.

Sacramento Kings guard
Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup in Houston after missing three straight games, keeping
Russell Westbrook in a prominent ball-handling role. Westbrook has averaged 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists across his last five outings, including a 16-point, 12-rebound, 14-assist showing on Nov. 28.
Malik Monk (shoulder), who is probable, has been volatile this season but still gains opportunity if Schroder remains sidelined, keeping him on the streaming radar.

December 3, 2025
Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento after missing Monday's game and moving in and out of the rotation recently. His last appearance featured 13 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes, but Houston has leaned heavily on small-ball lineups when he is unavailable. That shift pushed
Aaron Holiday to 32 minutes Monday, putting him on the deep-league streaming radar, while
Clint Capela stands to benefit if Houston leans back toward a traditional lineup. Adams remains a risky hold in most formats due to volatility.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Tre Jones (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Brooklyn and is positioned for a larger role with
Coby White (calf) sidelined. Jones has delivered steady production across his last five appearances, averaging 14.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, and he closed Monday's loss with 20 points in 30 minutes. He profiles as a useful short-term streamer for assists and low-turnover guard play.
Ayo Dosunmu should see a slight usage bump if Jones is limited or experiences any setbacks.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (upper body) has been labeled as a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Wennberg centers the second line and the first power-play unit for the Sharks, averaging close to 21 minutes of ice time. He has posted 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 27 games. Losing Wennberg would be a tough blow for San Jose, but the team could have Jeff Skinner (lower body) and Michael Misa (lower body) available again. If neither player is cleared for action, Zack Ostapchuk will likely replace Wennberg in the lineup.
--Taavi PailkSource: Max Miller
December 3, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (illness) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Portland after missing two straight games and continuing to navigate periodic injury management. Ball's recent stretch has been uneven, but he still averaged 4.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across his last five appearances, offering steady playmaking when active. His most recent outing saw three points, five rebounds, and four assists in 17 minutes. He profiles as a deep-league assists and steals streamer, while
Donovan Mitchell and
Darius Garland handle the bulk of playmaking if he suffers a setback.

December 3, 2025
Boston Bruins defenseman Michael Callahan (lower body) was limited to 2:51 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He wasn't available after the first period due to a lower-body injury. Bruins head coach Sturm said postgame he didn't think Callahan "will be ready for the next few days." Boston will return to action on Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues. On Tuesday, Callahan was playing in his second consecutive game after entering the lineup due to injuries. Unfortunately, it looks like he will have to miss time himself now. Overall, Callahan has featured five times for Boston this season, registering nine blocks but not scoring any points.

December 3, 2025
Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Miami, putting him at risk of a third consecutive absence.
Naji Marshall has absorbed most of the power forward minutes, producing 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across his last five games and playing 33 minutes Monday. His balanced stat profile and stable role keep him firmly in the short-term streaming mix. Managers should continue to hold Washington, with Marshall gaining the biggest boost if his ankle keeps him out.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (undisclosed) left Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Boston Bruins midway through the third period. Rasmussen only recently returned from an undisclosed injury, scoring in back-to-back games. Now, he could be set for another spell on the sidelines. In 24 appearances this season, Rasmussen has contributed four goals and four assists. His exit from the lineup would be a second blow in a short space of time for Detroit's bottom-six group, as Mason Appleton (lower body) was ruled out for at least a week before Tuesday's game.
--Taavi PailkSource: NHL.com
December 3, 2025
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood (back) exited Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks in the second period. He was pulled from the game due to back tightness. Before his exit, Wedgewood stopped 10 of 11 shots. Mackenzie Blackwood replaced him in the crease and helped Colorado secure another victory. The two Avalanche goaltenders have had an even workload lately, and both have performed admirably. It has been a dream campaign for Wedgewood, who was initially brought in as a backup. He currently holds a league-best 13-1-3 record and has become a candidate for Canada's Olympic team. Wedgewood ranks third in the NHL with a 2.07 goals-against average and is also in the top three with his .920 save percentage. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar described Wedgewood's issue as "nothing serious," so he could see more action this week.
--Taavi PailkSource: TSN
December 3, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Miami and could miss his third consecutive contest, keeping
Dwight Powell and
Anthony Davis in elevated roles. Powell has averaged 2.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across his last five games. His only notable spike was a 33-minute outing on Nov. 29, which still keeps him in deep-league streamer territory rather than a standard-format target. Davis logged 32 minutes Monday and would remain the primary beneficiary if Gafford sits again.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Vancouver Canucks left wing Evander Kane (forearm) missed the end of Tuesday's loss to the Colorado Avalanche but is not expected to be out for an extended period. Kane suffered a skate cut on his forearm late in the contest. Fortunately, Canucks head coach Adam Foote mentioned postgame that the cut wasn't deep, so it's possible Kane might not have to miss any games. A few years ago, Kane was involved in a similar incident and had to sit out several months after sustaining a skate cut on his wrist. The power forward saw a three-game point streak end on Tuesday. He has notched 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 27 games for the season, delivering 50 hits.

December 3, 2025
Dallas Stars forward Tyler Seguin (lower body) lasted only 1:12 against the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night. He exited the action after absorbing a hit from Rangers defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov. His early exit from Tuesday's game leaves Seguin a major doubt for Wednesday's tilt against the New Jersey Devils. So far, Seguin has appeared in all 27 games for the Stars this season, recording seven goals and 17 points. Despite his underwhelming scoring rate, Seguin ranks second among Dallas' forwards with a plus-10 rating. Sam Steel joined the top-six group after Seguin's exit on Tuesday and could play a larger role again in Wednesday's game.

December 3, 2025
Columbus Blue Jackets center Sean Monahan (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup on Thursday versus the Detroit Red Wings, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports. Monahan has been banged up this season and left Monday's 5-3 victory over the New Jersey Devils in the third period. He scored two of Columbus' goals, marking his first multi-point night of the season. Overall, Monahan has posted five goals and 13 points in 26 games. It has been a tough campaign for Monahan, but he has a chance to light the lamp in a third consecutive game on Thursday night.
--Taavi PailkSource: Aaron Portzline
December 3, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Norman Powell (ankle) is considered questionable for Wednesday's tilt against the Dallas Mavericks. Powell has appeared on the injury report quite often this season and is currently on it because of an ankle sprain. His absence would be a big blow for the Heat, as Powell leads the team in scoring and has gone for 30-plus points twice in his past four outings.
Jaime Jaquez Jr. and
Dru Smith will probably log more minutes off the bench if Powell can't play on Wednesday. Jaquez Jr has been productive throughout the season, even with Powell in the lineup. However, he had an awful time against the Los Angeles Clippers on Monday night, finishing with four points on 2-for-10 shooting.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Detroit Pistons guard/forward
Duncan Robinson (ankle) is at risk of missing a second consecutive game on Wednesday versus the Milwaukee Bucks, as the team has listed him as questionable for the matchup. Robinson is nursing a right ankle sprain and was out for the first time this season on Monday night against the Atlanta Hawks.
Daniss Jenkins was elevated into the starting unit, finishing a low-scoring 99-98 win with six points, eight rebounds, and six assists. Even with
Cade Cunningham in the lineup, Jenkins had the most shot attempts on the Pistons squad. However, he finished only 3-for-16 from the field, which left an ugly dent on Jenkins' fantasy line. In general, Jenkins has done well as a starter this season and will be a good fantasy option if he remains in the first unit against the defense-challenged Bucks.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Milwaukee Bucks point guard
Kevin Porter Jr. (back) is on the injury report with a questionable tag ahead of Wednesday's meeting with the Detroit Pistons. Porter Jr. exited Monday's loss to the Washington Wizards with lower back spasms and may now land back on the shelf after just returning from injury. Before he left the action on Monday, Porter Jr. was having a superb game, posting 30 points with 12-for-15 shooting. Players like
Ryan Rollins, A.J. Green, and
Gary Trent Jr. will soak up the available minutes if Porter Jr. doesn't get cleared for Wednesday's action.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Coby White (calf, illness) won't play in Wednesday's contest against the Brooklyn Nets. He will miss a third consecutive game. Initially, White was expected to return to the lineup for Monday's tilt against the Orlando Magic, but he had to skip the game due to illness. With White on the shelf,
Ayo Dosunmu is expected to receive another start. He has been a solid fantasy contributor in the first unit this season, averaging 18.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.4 assists. The Nets are ranked 29th in defensive efficiency, making Wednesday's game a very favorable fantasy matchup for Dosunmu and the Bulls.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers point guard
Darius Garland (toe) isn't on the injury report ahead of Wednesday's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers. Garland continues to manage a toe injury and didn't play in Monday's win over the Indiana Pacers. In 2025-26, Garland has been limited to seven outings, averaging 14.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 6.9 assists. He has logged 30-plus minutes in back-to-back games, so it seems Garland is close to being ready to handle his normal workload. On Wednesday,
Dean Wade will likely move to the bench to accommodate Garland's return. It's a good matchup for the two-time All-Star, as Portland allows the second-most fantasy points in the league to point guards.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Orlando Magic forward
Paolo Banchero (groin) has been ruled out for a 10th consecutive game. He is currently limited to non-contact work at practice and remains without a timetable for his return.
Tristan da Silva looks set for another start on Wednesday against the San Antonio Spurs. However, the 24-year-old has seen his production fall off the cliff lately and couldn't even score in Monday's win over the Chicago Bulls. With Banchero sidelined,
Franz Wagner and
Desmond Bane continue to lead the Magic offense. The two scored basically half of the team's points (62) in Monday's 125-120 victory.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders has had some impressive moments in his first two career starts. Sanders threw the second touchdown of his career to fellow rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. in Cleveland's Week 13 loss to the San Francisco 49ers while completing 16 of his 25 pass attempts for 149 yards and taking three sacks for a loss of 34 yards. The rookie fifth-rounder didn't turn the ball over for the first time, and head coach Kevin Stefanski has been pleased with his progress so far. The Colorado product has already been named the starting quarterback for Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, setting up a matchup between Sanders and first overall pick
Cameron Ward. Sanders is still far from being considered for fantasy purposes outside of deep and superflex leagues, but he'll look to solidify his role as the team's starter for the remainder of the season in a plus matchup.
