Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (chest, shoulder) is missing a second straight day of practice on Wednesday with chest and shoulder injuries, according to Jeff Neiburg of the Philadelphia Inquirer. Smith played 95% of the offensive snaps in the Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday and caught six of his 11 targets for 89 yards in a busy day, but he's now in danger of sitting out on a short week this Friday against the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old will need to get back on the practice field on Thursday to have a shot at playing in Week 13. If Smith is inactive or limited at all this week,
A.J. Brown figures to be peppered with targets. Tight end
Dallas Goedert would also have a much higher fantasy ceiling.
Jahan Dotson would most likely operate as the team's WR2.

Houston Astros All-Star left-handed closer
Josh Hader (shoulder) said on Monday that his left shoulder feels fully recovered after he finished the 2025 season on the injured list, according to Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle. Hader said that he finished his rehab from a shoulder capsule strain several weeks ago and is optimistic about having a normal build-up heading into spring training in February. He threw from a mound "a few times" during his rehab and was "up to just about over 85 mph." The hard-throwing southpaw threw more than an inning in seven of a career-high 71 regular-season appearances in 2024 and had seven such outings in 2025. Hader said he'll remain open to going more than an inning of work going into the third season of his five-year, $95 million deal with Houston. Before his shoulder injury, Hader was his usual dominant self, posting a 2.05 ERA while going 28-for-29 in save chances.

MLB Network's Jon Morosi reports that the Arizona Diamondbacks are "actively listening" to trade offers for All-Star second baseman
Ketel Marte this offseason. Morosi adds that he thinks there is at least a "50-50 chance" that Marte gets dealt to a new team for the 2026 season and beyond. No trade is imminent, but "multiple teams have checked in." Among the teams that have checked on Marte's availability are the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays. Marte has a limited no-trade clause, but neither the Phillies nor the Blue Jays are on his list. Toronto could decide to pursue Marte if they are prepared to let star shortstop
Bo Bichette walk in free agency. If they were to acquire Marte from Arizona, he would play second base, and
Andres Gimenez would slide over to the 6. The Phillies currently have
Bryson Stott as their starting second baseman, but Marte would be a clear upgrade.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Wednesday that quarterback
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) had successful surgery on his knee on Tuesday, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Penix had full reconstructive surgery to fix a partially torn ACL in his left knee, which will keep him out for the rest of this season and possibly for the start of the 2026 season next fall. The 25-year-old second-year signal-caller is facing a nine-month recovery, which will force Atlanta to rethink its long-term plan at the QB position this offseason. This is Penix's third ACL reconstruction in his career after he had two knee surgeries in college.
Kirk Cousins will start the rest of the year under center for the Falcons, but depending on how he finishes the season, the Falcons could opt out of the final two seasons of his four-year deal.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said on Wednesday that quarterback
Teddy Bridgewater will get most of the practice reps this week to prepare him in case
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is unable to play on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Mayfield has a chance to play in Week 13 after suffering a mild AC joint sprain in his left (non-throwing) shoulder in the Sunday night loss to the Los Angeles Rams, but nothing is certain. The 33-year-old Bridgewater went 8-for-15 passing for 62 yards after taking over for the injured Mayfield on Sunday. He'll have a much better matchup against Arizona with time to prepare this weekend if he makes his first start of the season, but Bridgewater should still be considered a low-upside QB2 streamer, at best, in superflex leagues if he gets the nod.

New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka said that rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) will be a full participant in practice on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Jordan Raanan. It sounds as if both Dart and
Jameis Winston will take first-team reps. Raanan points out that Dart is still officially in the league's concussion protocol after missing the last two games. It's good news that the 22-year-old Ole Miss product is practicing in full, but he still needs final clearance from the concussion protocol in order to be cleared to play on Monday night against the New England Patriots. Winston nearly led the G-Men to an upset of the Detroit Lions in Week 12, but if cleared, New York is fully expected to go back to Dart to close out the season after they traded into the first round of the 2025 draft to select him. If Dart is cleared to play on Monday, he'll immediately be in play as a QB1 again in fantasy due to his dual-threat abilities under center.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said on Wednesday that wide receiver
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) will practice this week, according to Tashan Reed of The Athletic. McLaurin looks to have made some progress coming out of the team's bye week and could make his return on Sunday Night Football versus the Denver Broncos in Week 13. The 30-year-old's status for this week will depend on how much he can do in practice, though. Scary Terry has played in only four games in 2025 due to his quad injury, but he could return just in time for the fantasy football playoffs in several weeks. If McLaurin does make his return in Week 13, he'll be coming back to an offense that is still being run by veteran backup quarterback
Marcus Mariota as
Jayden Daniels recovers from a gruesome dislocated left elbow. We'll be keeping a close eye on McLaurin's practice statuses this week.
UPDATE: McLaurin was officially limited on Wednesday.--Keith HernandezSource: The Athletic - Tashan Reed

The Miami Marlins initiated contract-extension talks with right-hander
Eury Perez in the spring of this year, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. However, talks failed to progress beyond the initial stages, with the gap between the two sides being around $15 million in guaranteed money. Perez is at two-plus years of service time and will play for around the minimum of $780,000 in 2026 before becoming eligible for salary arbitration. In 19 starts as a rookie in 2023, Perez impressed with a 3.15 ERA and 10.6 strikeouts per nine innings. He finished that year on the injured list with inflammation in his right shoulder. The Dominican had Tommy John surgery in 2024 but returned this June and finished with a 4.25 ERA in 95 1/3 innings. The hard-throwing right-hander will be just 22 years old in 2026 and has a rare combination of size, command, and fastball quality.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver
Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch in last Thursday night's loss to the Houston Texans was not discipline-related but was due to the short run-up to the game, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. McDermott said the Bills will "take things one day at a time" with Coleman. McDermott didn't exactly clarify if Coleman will be active for this Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it would be a surprise if the second-year wideout was not back on the field after being held out the last two games. The 22-year-old was a healthy scratch in Week 11 after being late to a team meeting that Friday. Coleman has been a big disappointment for the Bills and fantasy managers in 2025, catching 32 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets. He'll be pretty hard to trust as a WR4/flex play in fantasy in Week 13 if he's active.

November 26, 2025
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said "there's a chance" that tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) returns to play this Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, according to The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia. However, Kincaid will not be at practice with the rest of the team on Wednesday. Kincaid is slowly improving, but he has not played since injuring his hamstring back in Week 10, and he's up in the air to return this weekend. Without the 26-year-old on the field,
Dawson Knox has failed to take advantage of his increased opportunities, catching only four passes on seven targets for 40 yards in the last two weeks. Kincaid is one of Buffalo's top pass-catchers this year, so they could really use him back for an important game against Pittsburgh, but he's going to need to get back on the practice field first. If Kincaid returns in Week 13, he'll be immediately back on the TE1 radar in fantasy.

The Kansas City Chiefs have ruled out tight end
Noah Gray (concussion) for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the hosting Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gray will not have enough time to clear the league's concussion protocol on a short week. His next chance to play will come in Week 14 against the Houston Texans on Sunday, Dec. 7.
Travis Kelce will continue to operate as one of quarterback
Patrick Mahomes' top options in the passing game, but with Gray out on Thursday, both
Robert Tonyan and
Jared Wiley will have a chance to see the field more. The 26-year-old Gray has not been on the fantasy football radar in most leagues in 2025, catching 16 of his 28 targets for 132 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games played.

The Buffalo Bills released veteran wide receiver
Elijah Moore on Wednesday after signing veteran receiver
Brandin Cooks on Tuesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Moore failed to capitalize with Buffalo despite second-year wideout
Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch the last two games for disciplinary reasons, and now he'll be searching for a new team to close out the 2025 season. The 25-year-old former second-round pick of the New York Jets in 2021 out of Mississippi was a non-factor in fantasy football in his nine games in Buffalo, catching only nine passes on 17 targets for 112 yards and no touchdowns. Cooks, 32, caught 19 of his 25 targets for 165 yards and no scores in 10 games with the New Orleans Saints before joining Buffalo. He'll provide the Bills' struggling offense with an experienced deep threat to help stretch the field.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that quarterback
Daniel Jones (leg) will be listed as limited for Wednesday's walkthrough practice, but he will be good to go for Sunday's divisional game against the Houston Texans, according to Mike Chappell of FOX 59. Jones was also on last week's injury report with a fibula injury, but he eventually returned to a full practice and played in Sunday's overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, going 19-for-31 passing for 181 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. The 28-year-old has been a front-runner for Comeback Player of the Year in 2025 in his first year in Indy, having thrown for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games. Jones will be more of a low-end QB2 option in fantasy football this weekend, though, against the No. 1 defense in the NFL.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Jalen McMillan (neck) has been on Injured Reserve for the entirety of the 2025 regular season after suffering a neck injury in preseason action. While McMillan has yet to have his IR activation window opened by the team, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports that McMillan "seems close" heading into Tampa Bay's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Across 13 games as a rookie in 2024, McMillan recorded 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets. While 2025 appears likely to be a mostly lost year for the 23-year-old, Auman's reporting indicates that McMillan has a chance to get back on the field before the end of the regular season. If he can return, McMillan would join a crowded Tampa Bay wide receiver room that includes
Emeka Egbuka,
Chris Godwin, and
Tez Johnson, and could be getting
Mike Evans (collarbone) as well. It's unclear how heavily the team would lean on McMillan, particularly given the long injury layoff.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Wednesday that he thinks wide receiver
Drake London (knee) is "doubtful" to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the New York Jets, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. London suffered a PCL injury in Week 11 that appears likely to sideline him for at least two games. Across nine games this season, the star wideout has recorded 60 catches for 810 yards and six touchdowns on 94 targets. In his absence in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, Falcons wideouts
David Sills V and
Dylan Drummond both saw an increase in playing time. Wide receiver
Darnell Mooney and tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. may be the most likely beneficiaries from a target perspective if London remains out against the Jets.

November 26, 2025
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Chris Godwin (leg) looked "fine" in practice on Wednesday, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports. The 29-year-old returned in Week 12 from a long injury layoff due to a leg injury and recorded two catches for nine yards on four targets in his team's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Godwin played just 36% of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps against the Rams, but Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that the team plans to ramp up his usage going forward. Across the three games he's been healthy for this season, Godwin has recorded eight catches for 61 yards on 18 targets. He's dealt with persistent lower-body issues since suffering a dislocated ankle in October 2024, so it's wise for fantasy managers to proceed with caution until Godwin proves he can maintain health for an extended stretch. Godwin remains tough to trust heading into the Buccaneers' Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, particularly with starting Bucs quarterback
Baker Mayfield's (shoulder) status in question due to a shoulder injury.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) looked "fine" in practice on Wednesday, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. Irving is expected to practice all week heading into Tampa Bay's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, although his status for Sunday against Arizona remains unclear. Irving has not played since Week 4 due to multiple injury issues. Across four games before getting injured, the 23-year-old had recorded 430 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 90 touches and looked like the clear RB1 in Tampa Bay. In his absence, the Buccaneers have turned to
Rachaad White and
Sean Tucker for backfield snaps. Even when Irving returns, the team may choose to operate with more of a committee approach in order to bring him back slowly from the long injury layoff. Still, Irving's return to the field would be a welcome sign for fantasy managers. The final word on his Week 13 status is unlikely to come before the end of the week.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler speculates that the Minnesota Vikings could make a play for current Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones when Jones hits free agency after the 2025 season. Fowler writes that "a few people inside the league" have wondered whether Minnesota can "bring in a veteran/reclamation project to compete" with struggling quarterback
J.J. McCarthy (concussion) heading into 2026. McCarthy has struggled mightily across six starts this season, completing 54.1% of his pass attempts for 929 yards, six touchdowns, and 10 interceptions. He's also missed time with an ankle injury and is currently in the league's concussion protocol heading into Week 13. Minnesota has familiarity with Jones, as he served as the backup to former Vikings quarterback
Sam Darnold down the stretch of the 2024 season. Jones is in the midst of a resurgent campaign with Indianapolis, leading the Colts to an 8-3 record while throwing for 2,840 yards and 17 touchdowns. While Minnesota may have interest, the Colts seem likely to make a strong play to retain Jones as well.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) has been sidelined since suffering a gruesome dislocated left elbow in his team's Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. However, the 24-year-old was able to avoid surgery, and a return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings is a "realistic possibility," per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Fowler notes that while Daniels has not been officially ruled out for Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, Washington is more likely to go with veteran quarterback
Marcus Mariota for one more week. Across six games this season, Daniels has completed 62.5% of his pass attempts for 1,184 yards, eight touchdowns, and two interceptions. He's also been a major threat with his legs, rushing for 262 yards and two touchdowns on 54 attempts. While a Week 14 return for Daniels would obviously be a positive thing for fantasy managers, it might be wise to temper expectations, specifically for his rushing workload. With Washington currently saddled with a 3-8 record, the team will likely be cautious with putting its franchise quarterback at risk.
UPDATE: Daniels was limited in Wednesday's practice.--Will BradySource: ESPN - Jeremy Fowler

Kansas City Chiefs right guard Trey Smith (ankle) is not expected to play in his team's Week 13 matchup on Thanksgiving Day against the Dallas Cowboys due to an ankle injury, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Smith suffered an ankle injury that forced him to exit early from Kansas City's Week 12 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Losing Smith is a significant blow for the Chiefs' offense in both the run and pass game. Entering Week 13, Pro Football Focus has graded Smith as the 19th-best guard in the NFL out of 80 qualified players at the position. Without Smith, versatile offensive lineman Jaylon Moore appears likely to get the start at right guard in Week 13 against the Cowboys.

New England Patriots rookie left tackle Will Campbell (knee) is expected to miss at least four weeks with an MCL sprain. Campbell suffered the injury in Week 12 against the Cincinnati Bengals and left on a cart with a towel over his head. While it's unclear whether Campbell is a candidate for the injured reserve, Mike Vrabel has been very quiet so far about this situation. With Campbell and left guard Jared Wilson set to miss time, the Patriots might be in for a rough few weeks with their left side of the offensive line out. If Campbell is placed on the injured reserve (which we'll know by Saturday), he won't be eligible to return until Week 18 at the earliest.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is slated to return in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Rodgers suffered a broken left wrist in Week 11 and was unable to play in Week 12's loss to the Chicago Bears. Head coach Mike Tomlin stated that he was "highly optimistic" that Rodgers was going to be back against the Bills. The Steelers held him back from playing last week, preparing him for this marquee showdown against the Bills, which will be extremely important as the Steelers chase a divisional title. Buffalo has been among the best pass defenses in the NFL this season, allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks. Despite Rodgers trending towards playing this week, a tough matchup could limit his fantasy value in Week 13.
UPDATE: Rodgers didn't practice on Wednesday but plans to be out there on Thursday and Friday.--Nathan HarveySource: Ian Rapoport - NFL Network

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) said to the media on Tuesday that he will not sit if he's healthy enough to play. Burrow suffered a grade-three turf toe injury in Week 2 and underwent surgery to repair the ligament. With the Bengals' current situation and the unlikelihood of them making the postseason, some are speculating whether Burrow should return this season. However, Burrow shut down those conversations on Tuesday, stating, "I'm not going to live my life and play this game scared of something happening." Burrow is set to return in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, which will be a must-win game for the Bengals. Burrow offers low-end QB1 value in Week 13, as he makes his highly anticipated return to the field.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) could play this week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mayfield suffered a minor AC joint sprain in Week 12's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams and was spotted wearing a sling over his non-throwing shoulder. While there was legitimate concern about this injury, the Buccaneers may still have their starting quarterback in Week 13. Mayfield hasn't practiced on Wednesdays in recent weeks, so don't be surprised if he isn't participating. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will be key in determining Mayfield's status. The Buccaneers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13, who have lost eight of their last nine games, so resting Mayfield could be on the table.

New Orleans Saints rookie running back
Devin Neal is expected to have his first career start in Week 13, with starting running back
Alvin Kamara (knee) injured. Kamara suffered a MCL sprain in Week 12, which could sideline him for some time. After the veteran left in the first half, Neal had seven carries for 18 yards, while adding 43 yards on five receptions against the Atlanta Falcons. With
Kendre Miller (ACL) done for the season and Kamara banged up, Neal will carry the load, with former Broncos back
Audric Estime handling the backup role. The Saints have a very favorable upcoming schedule, including Week 13's game against the Miami Dolphins, who have allowed the fourth most rushing yards this season. If Kamara's out, Neal offers RB2 value in Week 13 in his first career start.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch has delivered back-to-back productive games with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined. Over the past two weeks, Dortch has caught 12 passes on 15 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in each game. Dortch has played 65% of the snaps during this period, more than doubling the snaps he previously played. Head coach Jonathan Gannon stated that there is no timetable for Harrison's return, which gives Dortch the opportunity to continue producing. The Cardinals face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13, who have allowed the tenth most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. If Harrison remains out, Dortch should remain a valuable asset for fantasy managers.

November 26, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Brenton Strange returned from the Injured Reserve in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals and showed no signs of rust. He converted on all five of his targets for 93 receiving yards. Strange has always been a favorite target of quarterback
Trevor Lawrence, and given their history together, Strange provides a reasonable floor as a tight end in PPR formats. His upside will be limited by the cluttered pass-catching room that now includes
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle),
Jakobi Meyers,
Parker Washington, and Strange. And while Lawrence is not the type of quarterback to make all of those pass-catchers a great fantasy play weekly, Strange's rapport with Lawrence provides a floor that makes him worth an add if you are struggling at the tight end position or lost
Tucker Kraft (knee) or
Sam LaPorta (back) to injury. Fantasy teams in a pinch, deep leagues, or even two flex spots can also consider Strange for that role. On the season, he's hauled in 25 of his 29 receptions for 297 yards in six games (one of which he was injured early on and did not return).

November 26, 2025
With
Garrett Wilson (knee) currently on the Injured Reserve, the New York Jets have been looking to see who would step up and be the team's top pass-catching option. Over the last two weeks, third-year receiver out of Alabama, and a former second-round pick,
John Metchie III, has stepped up and answered that question. The Jets brought in
Adonai Mitchell via trade, and although he has seen 13 targets over the past two games, he has yet to turn that into any production. On the other hand, Metchie has seen 10 targets in the last two games, scored twice, and has hauled in nine of those 10 targets for 110 receiving yards. In Week 12, with
Tyrod Taylor under center, Metchie saw a season high of seven targets, and could be working his way into flex consideration in fantasy football while Wilson remains sidelined with the injury.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) is "good to go" and will be available to return from his injury for the pivotal Thanksgiving matchup between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers. The Packers (7-3-1) sit half a game ahead of the Lions (7-4), and the Packers won comfortably over the Lions in Week 1 and have a chance to cement themselves at the top of the NFC North with a win on Thursday. The Chicago Bears (8-3) currently sit atop the NFC North; however, the Packers still face them twice in Weeks 14 and 16, so they control their own fate in the NFC. Jacobs' return is a significant step in the right direction for them to make this end-of-season run. His injury in Week 11 looked bad at first glance, so this news of him already being back is great news for the Packers fans and Jacobs' fantasy owners.
Emanuel Wilson filled in for Jacobs last week and played great, rushing for 107 yards and two touchdowns, so Jacobs' upside may be capped because Wilson has earned more playing time. Still, Jacobs is also a set-it-and-forget-it type of player in fantasy football, regardless of the tough matchup. On the season, Jacobs has 11 touchdowns, 648 rushing yards, and 237 receiving yards.

Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (ankle) will miss Wednesday's matchup against Golden State. His absence does not guarantee a major role for
Clint Capela, who has been a fringe option and could still get squeezed if Houston leans into small-ball looks. Capela has averaged 2.0 points and 3.2 rebounds across his last five appearances, but Houston's thin frontcourt with
Kevin Durant (personal reasons),
Tari Eason (oblique), and
Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) all out could lead to a slight bump in minutes. He remains a deeper-league rebounding flyer rather than a standard-league option.
