Vancouver Canucks right wing Conor Garland (upper body) won't play in Tuesday's tilt against the Colorado Avalanche, Sportsnet's Iain MacIntyre reports. On Tuesday, Vancouver finishes off its run of four consecutive road games, and Garland has already left the team to return home. The 29-year-old also missed Saturday's loss to the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Lekkerimaki will likely make a second consecutive appearance due to Garland's absence. He should not be considered a fantasy option, as Lekkerimaki has posted one goal and zero assists in five appearances this term.

Anaheim Ducks goaltender Petr Mrazek (lower body) is considered day-to-day, Zach Cavanagh of The Sporting Tribune reports. The veteran netminder was injured in Sunday's loss to the Chicago Blackhawks, but he isn't expected to be out long-term. That's great news for the Ducks, who have lost Lukas Dostal (upper body) for several weeks. Ville Husso started Monday's 4-1 win over the St. Louis Blues, while Vyacheslav Buteyets has been brought up from the AHL to add depth in the goalie department. It's possible the team won't need Buteyets' services if Mrazek heals quickly. Anaheim's next game is scheduled for Wednesday against the Utah Mammoth.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Luther Burden III has at least three catches in four straight games and has at least five targets in each of his last three. He led the team with four catches in their Black Friday win over the Eagles on a windy day in Philadelphia. While his yardage totals have been mediocre, the second-round rookie from Missouri is getting enough looks to eventually show off his big-play potential. Burden is clearly operating as the team's third receiver behind
Rome Odunze and
DJ Moore, playing over 50% of snaps the last two weeks ahead of
Olamide Zaccheaus. Burden will remain a risky flex play against Green Bay in Week 14 with so many other options in the offense, but if you are looking for receiver depth, he's one of the top widely available options.

Philadelphia Flyers winger Tyson Foerster (upper body) was injured in an unusual manner during Monday's 5-1 defeat against the Pittsburgh Penguins. He left the ice holding his right shoulder after an attempted one-timer in the second period. Foerster scored Philadelphia's only goal in the contest, lighting the lamp on the power play. Last month, Foerster missed four games with a foot injury, and unfortunately, he may land back on the shelf after Monday night. The 23-year-old leads his team with 10 goals and has amassed 13 points in 21 outings. Matvei Michkov might take Foerster's spot in the top six, while the Flyers also must tweak their second power-play unit if he can't play.

New Orleans Pelicans guard/forward
Trey Murphy III (elbow) is questionable to face the Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday night. Due to an elbow injury, Murphy III may have to miss a third consecutive game. Murphy III has been a two-way force for the Pelicans, averaging 19.7 points and a career-high 1.7 steals this season.
Zion Williamson (hamstring) is returning to the Pelicans lineup on Tuesday and will carry a huge load on offense if Murphy III doesn't play. Meanwhile, the likes of
Saddiq Bey and
Jeremiah Fears are also expected to chip in more.

December 2, 2025
New Orleans Pelicans forward
Zion Williamson (hamstring) is expected to play on Tuesday night against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Williamson missed the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Los Angeles Lakers, but he has been removed from the injury report ahead of Tuesday's action. So far this season, Williamson has made 10 appearances, averaging 22.1 points, 5.6 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.6 steals in 30.9 minutes.
Yves Missi started on Sunday in place of Williamson and will return to the second unit against Minnesota, which lowers his fantasy value.

Golden State Warriors forward/center
Draymond Green (foot) has been listed as probable for Tuesday's Western Conference showdown against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The veteran continues to deal with a right midfoot sprain, which caused him to miss one game last week. However, the probable designation indicates that Green will be good to go against the Thunder. Green had a very quiet outing in this season's first meeting with the defending champions, finishing a 126-102 loss on Nov. 11 with three points, two rebounds, four assists, and one steal. If Green suffers a setback and can't play,
Quinten Post could be in for a busy night in the Warriors frontcourt, especially with
Al Horford (sciatica) remaining out on Tuesday.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 2, 2025
Golden State Warriors guard/forward
Jimmy Butler III (glute) is considered questionable for Tuesday's clash against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Warriors are already without
Stephen Curry (quadriceps) and may now face the defending champions without two of their top scorers. Butler III is averaging 20.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.6 steals during his first full season with the Warriors. His exit from the lineup would likely give
Jonathan Kuminga a chance to return to the starting lineup after coming off the bench in back-to-back games.
Brandin Podziemski and
Moses Moody will be used more on the offensive end, boosting their fantasy appeal.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 2, 2025
Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (calf) is listed as probable on the injury report, indicating that he is expected to return to the lineup on Tuesday against the New York Knicks. White sat out the second leg of a back-to-back on Sunday against the Cleveland Cavaliers due to a calf issue.
Sam Hauser got a start in White's place and is set to move back to the second unit for Tuesday's contest. White has posted some awful shooting numbers this season, but he is still averaging 16.0 points per game, only 0.4 points shy of his career high. Across 33.3 minutes of action, White has also notched 4.0 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.3 blocks, and 1.7 steals. He is having a career year on defense.

December 2, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers forward
Paul George (knee, back) once again has a questionable designation on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. Since he made his season debut last month, George has played in five of Philadelphia's seven games. On Tuesday, he might be sidelined again as George is battling a lower back issue, in addition to his left knee injury, which required surgery in the summer.
VJ Edgecombe,
Jared McCain, and
Quentin Grimes (calf) get more scoring opportunities without George, especially with
Joel Embiid (knee) already ruled out for Tuesday night. Grimes is expected to play despite dealing with calf soreness.
--Taavi PailkSource: NBA Injury Report
December 2, 2025
Philadelphia 76ers center
Joel Embiid (knee) won't suit up for Tuesday's contest against the Washington Wizards. On Sunday, Embiid returned from a nine-game absence in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks. He finished a double-overtime game with 18 points, four rebounds, two assists, one block, and one steal in 30 minutes.
Andre Drummond (knee) has previously provided solid fantasy production during Embiid's absence, but he might also miss Tuesday's game after getting hurt against the Hawks. As a result, we could see a big night from
Adem Bona in a favorable matchup against a squad that allows the most fantasy points in the league to centers.

New England Patriots wide receiver
Kayshon Boutte posted four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Monday night's win over the New York Giants. Boutte finished the game tied with tight end
Hunter Henry for the team lead in receptions and continued his breakout campaign. The 23-year-old has emerged as a legitimate threat for New England in his third season, recording 29 receptions (38 targets) for 481 yards and a team-leading six touchdowns in 11 games. He's developed a great connection with breakout quarterback
Drake Maye on downfield targets and ranks third in the league among wide receivers with 16.6 yards per reception. Boutte should remain a viable flex option in fantasy football following New England's Week 14 bye, when the Patriots take on the division-rival Buffalo Bills.
--Kyle McCarthySource: ESPN.com
December 2, 2025
New York Giants wide receiver
Darius Slayton hauled in two of his three targets for 41 yards and his first touchdown of the season in Monday night's loss to the New England Patriots. Slayton led the Giants in receiving in the game and found the end zone for the first time since Week 17 of last season. The 28-year-old hasn't been a huge factor for the Giants this season, totaling 26 receptions for 407 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets in 10 games. He's operated as the No. 3 option in the passing game behind
Wan'Dale Robinson and tight end
Theo Johnson in recent weeks and has returned fringe flex value in fantasy football. Slayton and the Giants head into their Week 14 bye before facing the Washington Commanders in Week 15.
--Kyle McCarthySource: ESPN.com
December 2, 2025
New York Giants rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart returned in Week 13 against the New England Patriots after missing the past two games due to a concussion, completing 17 of 24 passes for 139 yards and a touchdown while adding four rushes for 20 yards on the ground. Dart wasn't as active as a runner in his first game back from injury, with the four carries being his fewest in a game as a starter. He still took a huge hit on a scramble on the Giants' second drive of the game, but he managed to avoid any big collisions from that point forward. Despite the blowout loss on Monday night, the 22-year-old has been impressive in eight starts this season, completing 63.6% of his passes for 1,556 yards with 11 touchdowns and three interceptions to go with 61 carries for 337 yards and seven touchdowns as a runner. Dart will get a chance to regroup during the team's bye in Week 14. The first-rounder will next take the field in Week 15 against the division-rival Commanders, the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues.

December 2, 2025
New York Giants running back
Devin Singletary handled 12 carries for 68 yards and a touchdown while adding three receptions (three targets) for 34 yards in Monday night's loss to the New England Patriots. Singletary led the Giants in rushing and finished second on the team in receiving as he eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage for the first time this season. The veteran running back could be in line to lead New York's backfield moving forward, too, after
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) was carted off the field in the fourth quarter after suffering a hip injury. The severity of Tracy's injury is currently unclear, but it would be another big loss to a Giants team that has already lost rookie running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle) for the season. Singletary had an impressive 22-yard rushing touchdown in Monday night's game against the Patriots and would be in line for a workhorse role if Tracy ends up missing time. The Giants are on a bye in Week 14, though, which will give Tracy extra time to recover.
--Kyle McCarthySource: ESPN.com
December 2, 2025
New England Patriots quarterback
Drake Maye completed 24 of 31 passes for 282 yards and two touchdowns while adding six carries for 12 yards on the ground in Monday night's 33-15 win over the New York Giants. Maye continued his MVP-caliber season with his sixth performance this season where he completed at least 75% of his passes with two or more touchdown passes, which ties
Matt Ryan's 2016 MVP season for the third most in NFL history, according to ESPN Insights. The 23-year-old signal-caller threw both touchdowns in the first half, including another beautiful deep ball to rookie receiver
Kyle Williams for a 33-yard score in the second quarter before throttling down in the second half. Maye has taken the leap into stardom in his second season and is right in the thick of the MVP conversation as New England heads into their Week 14 bye.

New York Giants running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) was carted off the field after suffering a hip injury during his team's Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots on Monday night. Dan Salomone of Giants.com reports that Tracy Jr. is officially questionable to return. The 26-year-old back recorded 10 carries for 36 yards and one catch for -3 yards before being forced to exit the game. If he's unable to return, veteran running back
Devin Singletary would be in line to handle most of New York's backfield work for the remainder of Week 13. While the exact nature of Tracy Jr.'s injury is unclear, an extended absence for Tracy Jr. would be a major loss for the Giants. With rookie running back
Cam Skattebo (ankle) on Injured Reserve, Singletary would be the last back standing in New York and could be in line for a significant workload increase going forward.

Washington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz had a huge game in Week 13, recording 10 catches for 106 yards on 13 targets in an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Across 12 games this season, the 35-year-old has hauled in 49 catches for 493 yards and four touchdowns on 70 targets. It's worth noting that Commanders quarterback
Marcus Mariota attempted 50 passes in Week 13, a level of pass volume that is highly unlikely to repeat in future weeks. However, Washington could be getting quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) back as soon as Week 14, which would be a boost for Ertz. All four of Ertz's four touchdown receptions this season have come in the six games Daniels has been healthy for. The Commanders will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. In leagues where he is available on the waiver wire, Ertz could be a solid streaming option for fantasy managers to target at the tight end position.

Across 12 games this season, Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. has recorded 51 catches for 505 yards and three touchdowns on 74 targets. While the 21-year-old's numbers do not jump off the page, he's emerged as a consistent piece of the Browns' offense. Entering Week 14, Fannin Jr. has earned at least five targets in seven consecutive games and 10 out of 12 total games this season. Fannin Jr. has also earned 11 targets across the two contests since
Shedeur Sanders took over the starting quarterback job in Cleveland, the highest number of any Browns pass-catcher. The overall struggles of his team's offense limit Fannin Jr.'s upside. Still, he provides a solid production floor as a low-end starting tight end option in PPR fantasy leagues. Heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, Fannin Jr. should be a waiver-wire target in PPR leagues with 12 or more teams.

The New York Mets are still interested in re-signing right-handed closer
Edwin Diaz even after agreeing to a three-year contract with right-handed reliever
Devin Williams on Monday night, a source told Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. Williams, who struggled to an ERA over 4.00 in his lone season with the New York Yankees in 2025, is open to pitching in a setup role as he looks to bounce back from a down campaign. The 31-year-old Diaz turned down the Mets' one-year, $22.025 million qualifying offer, as expected, after opting out of the final two years and $38 million remaining on his contract. Diaz will have plenty of suitors on the open market, but it remains to be seen if New York will give him the contract he's looking for. The Puerto Rican has an elite 14.5 K/9 mark and 253 saves in his nine-year big-league career, which puts him at the top of the reliever market.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller (pectoral) returned from a pectoral injury that caused him to miss more than a month in Week 13, recording two catches for 47 yards on three targets against the New Orleans Saints. Waller has appeared in just five games this season due to multiple injuries, but he's recorded four touchdown catches in that span. The Dolphins limited Waller to a 47% snap share in Week 13, which is a trend that may continue given the 33-year-old's extensive injury history. However, Waller has proven to be a red-zone target for Dolphins quarterback
Tua Tagovailoa, which gives him streamer appeal for fantasy managers at the tight end position. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Waller could be worth targeting on the waiver wire as a streamer or injury replacement heading into a Week 14 matchup against the New York Jets.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Devaughn Vele had a monster game in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, recording eight catches for 93 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. The 27-year-old has now earned 15 targets over his last two games played and emerged as the clear WR2 in New Orleans alongside star wideout
Chris Olave. In three games since former Saints wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed was traded to the Seattle Seahawks, Vele has played 87%, 89%, and 88% of New Orleans' offensive snaps. Vele has proven to be a moderately productive player when given the opportunity. Across 24 career NFL games, he's hauled in 58 receptions for 659 yards and five touchdowns on 83 targets. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Vele is worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Across two games since returning from a hip injury that forced him to miss nearly two months, Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Brenton Strange has recorded eight catches for 138 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. The 24-year-old has emerged as one of Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence's most-trusted weapons in 2025. Strange has earned at least five targets in four out of the six full games he's played this season. The Jaguars have also shown a willingness to play Strange a heavy snap share, as he played 84% of the team's offensive snaps in their Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans. While the Jaguars have a pair of capable target earners in wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers and
Brian Thomas Jr., wideout
Parker Washington (hip) went down with a hip injury in Week 13 that could cause him to miss time. As a result, Strange could be in line for a target bump. He should be a waiver wire target in all fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams.

New York Giants rookie defensive end Abdul Carter was benched to begin Monday's game versus the New England Patriots. The team is calling Carter's absence on the first drive a coach's decision. This was likely due to Carter missing some type of team activity (most likely a meeting) last week. Carter did eventually make it onto the field and recorded a sack. This isn't the first time that Carter has been benched by the Giants. Interim head coach Mike Kafka is trying to make a statement in a lost season. The Giants were already mathematically eliminated from playoff contention at 2-10 before the kickoff on Monday night. Carter was the third overall pick back in April out of Penn State.

Free-agent right-handed reliever
Devin Williams and the New York Mets agreed to a three-year contract on Monday that guarantees more than $50 million, sources tell ESPN's Jeff Passan. The New York Yankees acquired Williams from the Milwaukee Brewers last December, but he struggled to a career-worst 4.79 ERA in 67 relief appearances in the Bronx. The 31-year-old will stay in the Big Apple and join the Mets, where he figures to take over closing duties if
Edwin Diaz leaves in free agency. Williams got off to a rough start in pinstripes in 2025 and ended up sharing the closer's role for much of the season. Before his rough campaign with the Yanks, Williams established himself as one of the most dominant high-leverage relievers in Milwaukee, and he'll be looking to return to that form in 2026. He had four blown saves in 22 chances in his first and only year with the Yankees.

Detroit Lions defensive back Terrion Arnold (shoulder) is done for the season after being placed on Injured Reserve on Monday. Arnold is set to undergo shoulder surgery after suffering an injury during the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers. He made his return to the field last week following a two-game absence due to a concussion. The 22-year-old will now end his sophomore campaign with 31 tackles and one interception in eight games. Khalil Dorsey and Amik Robertson could see more snaps with Arnold sidelined for the rest of the regular season for the Lions' defense.

There is mutual interest in the Detroit Tigers re-signing right-handed reliever
Kyle Finnegan this offseason, according to the Detroit Free Press' Evan Petzold. Finnegan was really good in Detroit after the Tigers acquired him from the Washington Nationals at the July 31 trade deadline, and both sides are now interested in a reunion in 2026 and possibly beyond. The 34-year-old veteran mixed in for save chances in the second half in Detroit and had a stingy 1.50 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, four saves, and a 23:4 K:BB ratio in 18 regular-season innings. An adductor strain sidelined Finnegan for much of the final month of the regular season, but he should be fully healthy for the start of spring training. If he returns to the Tigers, he should once again share save duties with right-hander
Will Vest. Finnegan had a 3.47 ERA, 1.10 WHIP, and 24 saves in 57 total innings last year with Detroit and Washington.
--Keith HernandezSource: Detroit Free Press - Evan Petzold
December 1, 2025
Detroit Lions wide receiver
Kalif Raymond (ankle) was a non-participant during Monday's practice session. Raymond suffered an ankle injury in the Week 12 win over the New York Giants and was unable to suit up for last week's contest versus the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. The fact that Raymond remains out of practice to begin the week isn't a good sign ahead of the Thursday night contest versus the Dallas Cowboys. Rookie wideout
Isaac TeSlaa stepped up during their Thanksgiving loss, hauling in both his targets for 35 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old figures to once again have a larger role in the offense if Raymond is unable to play in Week 14, especially with top wideout
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) also up in the air to play in Week 14.

San Francisco 49ers fullback
Kyle Juszczyk (rib) was forced to exit during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. After further evaluation, Juszczyk was diagnosed with a rib fracture. Luckily for San Francisco, Juszczyk will get a week off to rest with the team on a bye in Week 14. Following that, the 49ers will re-evaluate the 34-year-old ahead of their Week 15 matchup versus the Tennessee Titans. There's a chance that Juszczyk won't miss any time, which would be good news for San Fran's offense. As mostly a blocking asset, Juszczyk is not fantasy relevant.

San Francisco 49ers kicker
Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is expected to return to action following the team's bye in Week 14. Pineiro has missed each of the last two games due to a hamstring issue. Luckily, head coach Kyle Shanahan believes Pineiro will be ready to play against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. Pineiro has been a great addition to the 49ers roster this season. The 30-year-old has made all 22 of his field-goal attempts while connecting on 18 of 22 extra-point kicks.
Matt Gay has been kicking for the 49ers over the last two games, but his services will likely no longer be needed once Pineiro returns.
