New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) won't play on Sunday night against the Los Angeles Lakers. The former Duke Blue Devil has played relatively well since returning from a stint on the shelf caused by a hamstring injury. As expected, the team will play it safe on the second night of a back-to-back, so fantasy managers can anticipate his return on Tuesday versus the Minnesota Timberwolves. With that said,
Saddiq Bey, coming off a 21-point effort, should continue to benefit from Williamson's absence. The same can be said for
Derik Queen,
Jeremiah Fears, and
Jose Alvarado.

Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (knee) won't play on Sunday against Boston. As expected, he'll sit out on Sunday night, the first of back-to-back games, before presumably suiting up on Monday night versus the Indiana Pacers.
Sam Merrill (hand) is also out, meaning
Craig Porter Jr. (hamstring), who is questionable, may see more minutes from off the bench, assuming he plays. If he doesn't,
Jaylon Tyson will have an even higher ceiling for fantasy managers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) is trending in the right direction after suffering a broken collarbone in Week 7 against the Lions and could return in Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Head coach Todd Bowles said that he expects the veteran wideout to be back before the end of the regular season, and could have his practice window opened as soon as next week. Rapoport added that a better determination of Evans' status will be based on medical scans that will come in the next few days. It was initially reported that Evans would be expected to miss the remainder of the regular season, but he's made great progress in his recovery and is on track to return before the season concludes. Evans should re-assume his role as Tampa Bay's No. 1 option upon returning and should be a priority add and stash if he is available on waiver wires.

Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (ankle) won't play on Sunday against the Cavs. The 26-year-old carried an injury designation heading into Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, he was in the lineup, finishing with 19 points, 18 rebounds, and two blocks. Queta will take the night off to rest before likely returning on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks. As far as Sunday's game is concerned, the C's may play some small-ball.
Luka Garza,
Chris Boucher, and
Xavier Tillman Sr. might also get involved, with one likely entering the starting lineup. Still, nobody from that trio can be trusted from a fantasy standpoint despite the upside.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to an ankle injury. Palmer returned from injury in Week 12 against the Houston Texans, recording two catches (four targets) for 21 yards, but entered Week 13 listed as questionable and will ultimately not suit up. The 26-year-old hasn't made a big impact since signing with the Bills in the offseason, totaling 18 receptions for 272 yards and no touchdowns on 29 targets in eight games.
Keon Coleman and
Brandin Cooks are both active on Sunday against Pittsburgh and should factor into the passing game along with Khalik Shakir with Palmer sidelined.

November 30, 2025
Oklahoma City Thunder guard
Alex Caruso (quadriceps) won't play in Sunday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The 31-year-old is quite familiar with the NBA's injury report. However, his absence is more of a bigger issue, considering OKC will also be without
Isaiah Hartenstein (calf), who will sidelined for at least 10-14 days. Without Caruso in the equation,
Ajay Mitchell could see considerably more minutes than the five he received in Friday's NBA Cup victory over the Phoenix Suns. While Mitchell isn't the safest fantasy option when not in the starting lineup, he still has a higher ceiling for those in need of a last-minute, high-upside streaming option on Sunday night.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Keon Coleman is active on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers for the first time since Week 10 against the Miami Dolphins. Coleman was a healthy inactive for the past two games for disciplinary reasons after being late to a team meeting. The 22-year-old has had a disappointing sophomore season so far, recording 32 receptions for 330 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets in nine games. Ideally, the Bills taking action and sitting Coleman down for two games will lead to better days for him. He gets a great opportunity on Sunday against a Steelers defense that has allowed the fourth-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Buffalo Bills
November 30, 2025
Portland Trail Blazers center
Donovan Clingan (illness) won't play on Sunday against OKC. The 21-year-old has averaged 10.2 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks this season. He also hasn't missed a game after logging 67 as a rookie. Hopefully, the illness he's dealing with won't keep him off the floor beyond Sunday's meeting with the champs. With that said,
Robert Williams III, coming off a 10-point, five-rebound, four-block performance, can be considered for streaming purposes in all fantasy formats. Williams will also be a popular DFS value option despite the challenging matchup on the horizon.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Portland Trail Blazers
November 30, 2025
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Adam Thielen is a healthy inactive for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. The Vikings acquired Thielen and a 5th-round pick for a 4th and 5th-round pick before the start of the regular season, but the veteran has not made an impact, recording just eight catches for 69 yards on 18 targets in 11 games. The 35-year-old hasn't played more than 14 snaps in a game this Week 3 and for the first time this season, Thielen will be inactive despite being healthy. Jailen Nailor and rookie
Tai Felton will likely see increases in opportunities in Week 13 against the Seahawks.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Minnesota Vikings
November 30, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson (calf) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Sampson was originally questionable to return, but has now been downgraded after injuring his calf. The rookie fourth-rounder had four carries for 23 yards before exiting, and the Browns will hope for positive news on Monday regarding the injury.
Jerome Ford will slot in as the primary backup to
Quinshon Judkins and should see more work on pass downs if Sampson misses time.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Cleveland Browns
November 30, 2025
Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Kincaid will now miss his third consecutive game since injuring his hamstring in Buffalo's Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old tight end was able to practice in limited capacity on Thursday and Friday this week, which suggested he had a chance to return on Sunday, but it seems he still needs more time. The 2023 first-round pick has strong production in the eight games he's played this season, recording 29 receptions for 448 yards and four touchdowns on 36 targets, averaging 12.2 PPR points per game.
Dawson Knox and
Jackson Hawes will operate as the Bills' primary tight ends again in Week 13 with Kincaid sidelined.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Buffalo Bills
November 30, 2025
Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson (calf) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a calf injury. Sampson handled four carries for 23 yards before leaving the game. The rookie fourth-rounder broke out in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders with a 66-yard receiving touchdown, finishing with seven carries for 23 yards and two receptions (three targets) for 59 yards. Sampson has been operating as the No. 2 back behind
Quinshon Judkins, but
Jerome Ford will slide in as the primary backup with the rookie sidelined. More information should come out about the severity of Sampson's injury soon.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Cleveland Browns
November 30, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington (hip) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans due to a hip injury. Washington recorded one reception for 26 yards on three targets before exiting. The 23-year-old wideout has emerged as a reliable weapon for Jacksonville and an impactful waiver wire add for fantasy managers. Since playing a full-time role in Week 7, he's recorded 22 receptions for 266 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets.
Jakobi Meyers and
Brian Thomas Jr. figure to see bumps in targets with Washington sidelined.

November 30, 2025
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) was helped to the locker room during the first half of his team's Week 13 matchup against the Houston Texans and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the game. NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Gardner is "believed to have suffered a calf strain," but that he will "have more tests." Pelissero also reports that "Gardner's Achilles appears intact, so there's optimism he avoided a major injury." It seems Gardner and the Colts may have avoided the worst-case scenario, but more information should be released in the coming days. With Gardner sidelined, Mekhi Blackmon will likely take over at cornerback for Indianapolis.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams (ankle) has returned to his team's Week 13 matchup against the Carolina Panthers after briefly exiting the game due to an ankle injury. Williams subbed himself out late in the first half and was officially deemed questionable to return. However, Williams was back on the field for Los Angeles' first offensive series of the second half. The ankle issue may lead the Rams to give more work to running back
Blake Corum for the remainder of Week 13. However, it's obviously a positive sign that Williams was able to return to the game.
--Will BradySource: Los Angeles Rams - Stu Jackson
November 30, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen (finger) won't play on Sunday versus the Boston Celtics. Allen returned from a three-game absence caused by a finger sprain for Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Atlanta Hawks. However, he'll now miss the meeting with the C's, so fantasy managers are keeping their fingers crossed about his availability Monday against the Indiana Pacers.
Evan Mobley, coming off a potent 20-point, 14-rebound, seven-assist, two-block, two-steal effort, will presumably slide over to the five.
Nae'Qwan Tomlin might also work his way into the starting lineup, giving him credibility as a one-game streaming option.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Atlanta Hawks center
Kristaps Porzingis (illness) won't play on Sunday night versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Despite a decline in production, the veteran has played well enough to be considered an everyday fantasy option, averaging 18.7 points, 5.9 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks. However, he'll now miss his ninth game of the 2025 campaign, which includes a second-straight absence because of an illness. Of course, Porzingis missed time last season because of a respiratory illness, so fantasy managers are hoping to avoid a repeat occurrence. It's unknown if he'll be ready to go on Monday against the Detroit Pistons. In the meantime,
Onyeka Okongwu, averaging 19.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.9 blocks, and 1.5 steals in eight starts, remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Los Angeles Lakers forward
LeBron James (foot) won't play on Sunday against New Orleans. James missed the start of the 2025 campaign due to Sciatica, returning for the win over the Utah Jazz on November 18. While he's not 100%, he's still playing as well as expected, most recently amassing 13 points, seven assists, five rebounds, and one steal in Friday's NBA Cup clash with the Dallas Mavericks. James has a nagging left foot injury dating back to last season, so he'll take the night off versus the 3-17 Pelicans before potentially suiting up for Monday's meeting with the visiting Phoenix Suns. Without him,
Luka Doncic and
Austin Reaves should handle most of the scoring, with
Deandre Ayton also in line for an uptick in offensive opportunities against one of the worst defensive clubs in the National Basketball Association.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 30, 2025
Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (calf) won't play on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers. He was on the injury report ahead of Saturday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves for the same issue, a right calf contusion. However, the 31-year-old was available for that one, finishing with 16 points, five assists, and two blocks. White's next chance to suit up will be on Tuesday versus the New York Knicks, with
Payton Pritchard and
Jaylen Brown in line to lead the way offensively on Sunday.
Sam Hauser, who had 14 points and six rebounds on Saturday, might also find himself in the starting lineup, making him an attractive option for fantasy managers and DFS participants.

November 30, 2025
Los Angeles Rams running back
Kyren Williams (leg) is "headed to the locker room two minutes before halftime" in his team's Week 13 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Grosbard of the Los Angeles Daily News. Grosbard reports that Rams trainers were examining Williams' right leg. The 25-year-old recorded seven carries for 39 yards before exiting the game. If he's unable to return, Rams running back
Blake Corum would likely handle the vast majority of the team's backfield work for the remainder of Week 13. Corum recorded five carries for 41 yards and a touchdown in the first half against Carolina. Fantasy managers should check back as more information is released around the exact nature of Williams' injury.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington (hip) is questionable to return to his team's Week 13 matchup against the Tennessee Titans due to a hip injury. The 23-year-old recorded one catch for 23 yards on three targets before exiting the game. If Washington is unable to return, Jaguars wideouts
Jakobi Meyers and
Brian Thomas Jr., as well as tight end
Brenton Strange, could see an increase in targets for the remainder of Week 13. Depth wide receivers
Tim Patrick and
Austin Trammell would also likely see an uptick in playing time. Washington has earned at least seven targets in four out of his last five games heading into Week 13, so his absence would be a blow to Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence.
--Will BradySource: Jacksonville Jaguars
November 30, 2025
Houston Texans rookie running back
Woody Marks (foot) has returned to his team's Week 13 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts after briefly exiting the game in the first half due to a foot injury. Marks has been emerging as the lead back in Houston in recent weeks, recording at least 16 touches in three straight games heading into Week 13. Now that he's back, he should be expected to lead the Texans' backfield in touches for the remainder of Week 13. More information should come out about the exact nature of Marks' foot issue after the game, but it's obviously a positive sign that he was able to return against Indianapolis.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (concussion, knee) has had his Injured Reserve return window opened and is practicing on Sunday, per ESPN's Todd Archer. Cowboys owner Jerry Jones previously said Diggs is on track to play in Week 14 against the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since Week 6 due to a knee injury and a concussion. Diggs is a two-time Pro-Bowler and former All-Pro, but he's battled myriad injuries in recent years. Since the start of the 2023 season, Diggs has played just 19 games. His return will further fortify a Cowboys defense that is significantly improved since making a few notable additions at the trade deadline. Across 64 career games, Diggs has recorded 20 interceptions and 194 solo tackles.

The Indianapolis Colts quickly ruled out cornerback Sauce Gardner (knee) from returning to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans after he was helped to the locker room with an injury to his left knee. The Colts, who acquired Gardner in a trade earlier this year, will have to hope for good news in the next day or so regarding Gardner's long-term prognosis. For fantasy purposes, the Indianapolis defense figures to be far less attractive without its top cornerback, while IDP managers may have to call an audible if Gardner misses time.

November 30, 2025
The Houston Texans listed running back
Woody Marks (foot) as questionable to return to Sunday's game against their AFC South rival, the Indianapolis Colts, due to a foot injury. The rookie from USC has been a solid depth piece for fantasy managers who weathered sporadic playing time during the beginning of the season, as Marks entered Week 13 having drawn 10-plus carries in six straight games and rising to running back No. 30 in half-PPR formats. If Marks were to miss any time because of the injury, veteran
Nick Chubb figures to be the team's top option with
Dare Ogunbowale working behind him.

November 30, 2025
Indianapolis Colts cornerback Sauce Gardner (knee) headed to the locker room during the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans with an apparent injury to his left knee. Indianapolis has been a top-10 fantasy defense so far this season, and the team sought to bolster its standing atop the AFC South by acquiring the All-Pro corner in a trade with the New York Jets earlier this season. The Colts have a tougher schedule in the fantasy playoffs as it is, so managers playing defense roulette may want to keep an eye on Gardner's status, as he's their first choice to match against opposing No. 1 receivers.

November 30, 2025
Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams, but he is not quite fully recovered from a mid-foot sprain, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The No. 1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft completed 68.3% of his passes for 962 yards, six touchdowns, and three interceptions to go with 29 rushes for 173 yards and a rushing touchdown in the first five games as Arizona's starter.
Jacoby Brissett has performed well in Murray's absence and set an NFL record 47 completions in Arizona's Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Brissett has elevated
Michael Wilson's game and helped send
Trey McBride to another level as the top fantasy scoring tight end in the league. It remains to be seen if Murray will reclaim the starting job when he is fully healthy.

November 30, 2025
Buffalo Bills wide receivers
Keon Coleman and
Brandin Cooks, who was signed this week, are both expected to play on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Coleman has missed the team's last two games for disciplinary reasons after he was late to a team meeting. The 22-year-old former second-rounder has failed to take the next step in 2025 in his sophomore season, catching 32 of his 49 targets for 330 yards and three touchdowns in nine games played. However, his two-game benching may light a fire under him for the remainder of the season, and he'll have a juicy matchup to exploit in his return on Sunday against a Steelers defense that has allowed the second-most half-PPR points to receivers this year. Cooks, meanwhile, will provide another deep threat for Buffalo's passing game, although he figures to have limited volume as he learns a new offense.

November 30, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals. Irving has been sidelined since Week 4 after dealing with multiple injuries, but will make his return in Week 13. The second-year back is expected to play in a limited role on Sunday after missing a significant amount of time, with
Sean Tucker and
Rachaad White both playing a role as Irving is eased back into action. Irving produced at a high level in the four games before going down, totaling 71 carries for 237 yards along with 19 receptions (19 targets) for 193 yards and two touchdowns. Irving ranks as RotoBaller's RB25 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin is expected to be formally introduced as LSU's head coach at a press conference on Monday, according to On3Sports. Kiffin's name has been in the headlines for weeks, as LSU and Florida have been trying to pull him away from Oxford. Many believed LSU was in the driver's seat, and it appears they are close to reaching an official deal. It's not yet clear whether Kiffin will be permitted to coach the Rebels in the College Football Playoff, but Chris Low reports that he already has most of his offensive staff lined up to join him in Baton Rouge. Kiffin has tallied a 55-19 record in six seasons with Ole Miss following stints as head coach of Tennessee (2009), USC (2010-13), and Florida Atlantic (2017-19)
