The Pittsburgh Steelers logged one sack, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and a defensive touchdown while surrendering 31 points to the Chicago Bears in a Week 12 loss. Though the Steelers produced several splash plays, including a strip-sack by T.J. Watt that Nick Herbig recovered in Chicago's end zone, the unit struggled to keep the Bears from scoring. They'll look to rebound at home against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Pittsburgh will get linebacker Alex Highsmith (pectoral) back after a two-game absence, but will be without rookie defensive tackle Derrick Harmon (knee). While the Bills' offense has been inconsistent, it has also shown a high ceiling, having scored over 40 points three times this season. That said, it's difficult to have faith in the Steelers DST this week. Fantasy managers should look for alternative options unless they're in need of a big-play-dependent option with upside.

Across three games since taking over as his team's starter in Week 9, New Orleans Saints quarterback
Tyler Shough has completed 68.1% of his pass attempts for 701 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. On paper, Shough has a favorable matchup in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Through 12 weeks, Miami ranks 27th in the NFL in yards per pass attempt allowed (7.6). However, Miami has been better in recent weeks, allowing just 173 passing yards to the Buffalo Bills and 142 passing yards to the Washington Commanders in their last two games played. Additionally, the Saints will be without top running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle) and could be without top wide receiver
Chris Olave (back), who is questionable to play with a back injury. The potential lack of reliable pass-catchers could be a major issue for Shough. Even in two-quarterback formats, Shough could be a player for fantasy managers to avoid in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker
Chris Boswell was quiet in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he should bounce back in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Although the Bills haven't given up a ton of fantasy production to kickers, their defense has been subpar overall, allowing nearly 23 points per game. With this contest taking place in Pittsburgh, Boswell's outlook only improves. The 34-year-old has scored at least nine fantasy points in all five of his matchups at Acrisure Stadium this season and is averaging more than five additional fantasy points per game at home than on the road. The inconsistent play of the Steelers' offense caps his reliability a bit, but not enough to remove him from starting consideration. Boswell profiles as a top-10 option on Sunday.

Buffalo Bills kicker
Matt Prater has been a reliable player through 11 games this season, connecting on 15 of 17 field goal attempts and 32 out of 34 extra-point tries. The 41-year-old may have limited range at this point in his career, as he's attempted just two field goals from 50-plus yards out on the season, making one and missing one. In Week 13, the Bills will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Through 12 weeks, Pittsburgh ranks 19th in the NFL in points per game allowed (23.9). While that points to the Bills being able to move the ball on Sunday, the weather in Pittsburgh may play a factor in the kicking game. The current forecast calls for precipitation and colder weather in western Pennsylvania. Prater profiles as a borderline starting kicker option in Week 13, but fantasy managers should be mindful of potential weather issues and check the forecast before lineups lock on Sunday.

Boston Celtics center
Neemias Queta (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's meeting in Minnesota. The 26-year-old has started in all 17 of his appearances during the 2025 campaign. As a result, he's having the best season of his career, averaging 9.3 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks, making him a viable starting option in deeper fantasy setups. Queta wasn't available for Friday's NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons, opening the door for
Luka Garza to enter the starting lineup. That will likely be the case again if Queta can't suit up. However, Garza didn't do much in his enhanced role on Friday, going scoreless in 11 minutes of work.

Across 11 games played in 2025, Buffalo Bills running back
Ray Davis has recorded just 44 rushing yards on 22 carries. The 26-year-old appears to have completely faded out of his team's offensive plans in recent weeks, as he's failed to earn a single carry in three out of Buffalo's last four games. With top Bills running backs
James Cook and
Ty Johnson both healthy and ready to roll for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, there's little reason for fantasy managers to think that Davis' role will be significantly changed. Since Week 3, Davis has played fewer than 10 offensive snaps in every game but one. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 13.

November 29, 2025
With Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined for each of the last two weeks, fellow Bills tight end
Dawson Knox has seen a significant increase in snap share. However, Knox has struggled to boost his production, recording just four catches for 40 yards on seven targets over his last two games combined. Kincaid is now questionable to play in Buffalo's Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Knox should still be expected to get his fair share of playing time even if Kincaid returns. Still, Knox has recorded just 16 receptions for 195 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets across 11 games this season. Regardless of Kincaid's final injury status, Knox does not profile as a starting-caliber fantasy tight end in Week 13.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker
Cam Little seems like a solid kicking option for fantasy managers in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. He has been both a solid real life and fantasy kicker, which should continue against the 1-10 Titans. The Jaguars should score plenty of points, but how Little's day goes will depend on if those points are mostly touchdowns or a mix of field goals as well. Little has shown reliable accuracy and distance, so as long as the opportunities come, he has a chance for a big fantasy day. The Jaguars offense facing the Titans seems like a good combination for a kicker to succeed in fantasy. Managers should feel good about starting Little in Week 13.

Boston Celtics guard
Derrick White (calf) is in line to play on Saturday in Minnesota. The 31-year-old has played as well as expected throughout the 2025 campaign. However, he hasn't benefited from the absence of
Jayson Tatum (Achilles). In fact, he's seen reduced production in several statistical categories. Still, White remains a must-start fantasy option in all formats, assuming he plays, despite the difficult matchup on tap. He could be even more productive if
Jaylen Brown (back) can't suit up because of low back spasms.
--Dennis ClausenSource: NBA Injury Report
November 29, 2025
Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has missed two straight games due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old was able to log limited practices on both Thursday and Friday, so he may be on track to make his return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Across eight games this season, Kincaid has recorded 29 catches for 448 yards and four touchdowns on 36 targets. When healthy, he's been one of Bills quarterback
Josh Allen's favorite red zone targets. However, Kincaid's playing time is consistently limited by how the Bills deploy fellow tight ends
Dawson Knox and
Jackson Hawes. If Kincaid is limited by his hamstring issue, the team could choose to restrict his playing time even further against Pittsburgh. If he's active, Kincaid profiles as a borderline low-end TE1 in Week 13.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit is a must-start and potential top-tier defense in fantasy in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are the best matchup for fantasy defenses this season, and the Jaguars D/ST has been a good option all season, considering their high amount of forced turnovers. The combination of the two makes for a potentially incredible fantasy outing, one that can win fantasy teams their week. The Jaguars' offense has been a bit inconsistent this season, meaning the defense may be relied on to make plays and potentially score points to put the Jaguars over the top. If they are somehow still on the waiver wire, the Jaguars D/ST should be picked up immediately in Week 13 against the Titans.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBallerSource: D/ST RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Parker Washington has been solid this season, and has a decent chance for another solid outing in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. He is coming off a five-catch, 71-yard performance against the Arizona Cardinals last week. Washington has done well when given playing time. That playing time may be up in the air, however, with
Brian Thomas Jr. returning from injury. Washington has proven he deserves consistent playing time with how well he has produced, showing clear chemistry with
Trevor Lawrence. He has also shown his ability in the open field on special teams as a punt returner. His play time is unclear at the moment, but if he does continue to get targets, Washington is an underrated flex option in Week 13.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBallerSource: Parker Washington RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Boston Celtics forward
Jaylen Brown (back) is questionable for Saturday's contest in Minnesota. The 29-year-old had 33 points, 10 boards, five assists, two steals, and two blocks in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Detroit Pistons. As expected, Brown has benefited from the absence of
Jayson Tatum (Achilles) by averaging a career-high 28.2 points during the 2025 campaign. He also hasn't missed a game. It doesn't sound as if the injury is too serious, although the team may give him the night off for precautionary purposes heading into Sunday's meeting with the Cavaliers, the second of back-to-back outings for the C's. If that happens,
Sam Hauser,
Payton Pritchard, and
Baylor Scheierman could see more scoring opportunities behind
Derrick White (calf), assuming he plays, versus a challenging Timberwolves defense.

November 29, 2025
With his team's wide receiver room in flux, Buffalo Bills wideout
Tyrell Shavers had a breakout game in Week 11, recording four catches for 90 yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, Shavers followed that game up with a dud against the Houston Texans in Week 12, recording zero catches on zero targets. Shavers also played fewer snaps against Houston than Bills wide receivers
Khalil Shakir,
Joshua Palmer (ankle), and
Gabe Davis. Palmer is questionable to play in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to an ankle injury, but Buffalo also signed veteran wideout
Brandin Cooks. For the season overall, Shavers has played fewer than 50% of his team's offensive snaps in every game but one. Shavers should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 13 against Pittsburgh.
--Will BradySource: RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Brenton Strange returned from injury with a bang in Week 12, putting up a five-catch, 93 yard performance against the Arizona Cardinals. He was the leading receiver after being out since Week 5. It was an impressive return to an offense in need of a clear number one option, especially with
Brian Thomas Jr. out with injury. Thomas Jr. is expected to return this week, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers from starting Strange with confidence. At a shallow position, even a more difficult matchup and game script not in his favor makes Strange a low-end TE1 this week. The upside is limited, but the floor seems high enough to start Strange in Week 13 against the Titans.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBallerSource: Brenton Strange RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
Roman Wilson was held without a catch last week and will look to be more involved against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Though Wilson has been quiet more often than not this season, it's worth noting that
Mason Rudolph drew the start at quarterback in Week 12. With
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) under center this week, Wilson's ceiling rises slightly, as the two have connected for two touchdowns this season. Still, the second-year pro has yet to carve out a reliable role in Pittsburgh's aerial attack, making him difficult to trust, especially in this matchup. Buffalo has held opposing wideouts to the 10th-fewest receptions and receiving yards in 2025. His involvement is worth monitoring, but Wilson can remain on waiver wires in all redraft formats heading into Week 13.
--Jorden HillSource: RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle) was limited in practice this week and is questionable to play in Week 13. The former Chargers receiver returned from an ankle injury in Week 12, where he hauled in two of four targets for 21 yards in the 23-19 loss to the Houston Texans. Palmer has been quiet in his first season in Buffalo, as he's currently averaging his fewest fantasy points per game of his entire five-year career. Palmer is a part of one of the worst receiving units in the NFL and has been unable to stand out as a top option in this offense. Maybe this is the week, as the Bills face the league's worst defense against wide receivers this season in the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Palmer may be a cheap and tempting DFS option in Week 13, fantasy managers should steer clear of starting the veteran receiver this week.

November 29, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end
Pat Freiermuth returned to the end zone last week and will hope for similar success in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, he draws the toughest possible matchup. Buffalo has held opposing tight ends to the fewest fantasy points, receptions, yards, and touchdowns this season. While Freiermuth has been more productive than teammate
Jonnu Smith, none of Pittsburgh's tight ends are commanding consistent weekly opportunities. Between Freiermuth, Smith, and
Darnell Washington, Freiermuth's red-zone usage suggests he is the most likely to score on Sunday, but fantasy managers should steer clear of this matchup if possible.
--Jorden HillSource: RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end
Tyler Warren (illness) was added to the injury report and is now questionable to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. The rookie tight end has been a budding superstar in 2025, hauling in 55 of 74 passes for 662 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. Warren is currently on pace to finish as the TE3 in fantasy points per game and has been a huge part of the Colts' offensive explosion in 2025. If Warren is unable to play in Week 13, it would be a massive blow to this attack, especially against the league's best defense. Fantasy managers will have to check into the pregame reports to see if he's active and if his role will be limited in Week 13.

After announcing that Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow was coming out of retirement, he failed his physical and will not return to the team this season. According to the team, Ragnow suffered a Grade-3 hamstring strain during a routine meeting and will not play in 2025. The news broke that Ragnow would be coming out of retirement before their Thursday game against the Green Bay Packers, which they lost 31-24 and moved to 7-5. With Ragnow out, and Graham Glasnow (knee) banged up as well, the Lions will rely on Trystan Colon to handle the starting duties at center for Detroit.

November 29, 2025
Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Khalil Shakir had a big-time performance in Week 12, hauling in eight of 10 targets for 110 yards against the Houston Texans. His huge outing was his first 10+ target and 100+ yard game of the season. Shakir is averaging 11.5 PPR fantasy points per game, leading the way in Buffalo as the number one option in the passing game. He faces the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, who have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. The Steelers have also allowed the seventh most fantasy points per game to slot receivers this season, which is where Shakir likes to operate. After being an inconsistent option for fantasy managers at the beginning of the season, Shakir is a WR3/FLEX play in Week 13.
--Nathan HarveySource: Pro Football Reference
November 29, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf (ankle) is off the injury report and ready to go for a Week 13 showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Although Metcalf found the end zone last week, he hasn't topped 50 receiving yards in a game since Week 8 and has become increasingly unreliable for fantasy purposes. The Bills have been strong against the pass, surrendering the 10th-fewest receptions and the 10th-fewest receiving yards to opposing wideouts this season. Even with quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) in line to start, Metcalf cannot be projected for a ceiling outcome in this matchup. Fantasy managers can still deploy him as a high-end WR3 or flex option, but expectations for Metcalf should be tempered.
--Jorden HillSource: RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Buffalo Bills running back
James Cook has been on a terror in his fourth season in the NFL, totaling 1,287 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games. Despite the Bills struggling against the Houston Texans in Week 12, Cook had a big game, totaling 129 yards and a touchdown on 20 attempts. Cook has ascended in every season he's been in the NFL, jumping from a 16.7 PPR points per game average in 2024 to an 18.7 average this season. While Cook has been matchup-proof this season, the Steelers are very tough against the run, allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Despite the difficult matchup, Cook is a sure-fire RB1 in fantasy this week, as he looks to continue his dominance.
--Nathan HarveySource: Pro Football Reference
November 29, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) missed last week's contest but is set to return at home against the Buffalo Bills. While Buffalo has been vulnerable on the ground, its pass defense has been elite, limiting opposing quarterbacks to the fewest passing yards, the fourth-fewest passing touchdowns, and the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game. Unless the Steelers find themselves trailing early, they're likely to lean heavily on the running game with
Jaylen Warren and
Kenneth Gainwell. This makes Rodgers tough to trust for fantasy purposes, especially if he is limited at all with his left wrist fracture. Fantasy managers should view Rodgers as a low-end QB2 who is only viable in 2QB and superflex formats in Week 13.
--Jorden HillSource: RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Buffalo Bills quarterback
Josh Allen is coming off his worst game of the 2025 season, completing 24 of 34 passes for 253 yards and throwing two interceptions against the NFL's top defense. It's been a rollercoaster of a season for the reigning MVP, who's still averaging 23.2 fantasy points per game but has been much more inconsistent than in previous seasons. Allen will head to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers in Week 13, in what should be a playoff-like atmosphere. The Steelers' defense has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, including big outings for
Caleb Williams,
Joe Flacco, and
Jordan Love. Allen enters Week 13 looking to bounce back and could be in line for a big game. Per usual, the Bills' star quarterback is a must-start in fantasy this week.
--Nathan HarveySource: Pro Football Reference
November 29, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Bhayshul Tuten has had mixed involvement in the Jaguars rushing attack, but this week against the 1-10 Titans seems like an ideal week to get him involved. In what should be a straight-forward win, the Jaguars have a chance to get their electric rookie more involved than usual. The game scrip should also favor the running game, and the Titans have a weak rushing defense. It is a risk to start Tuten considering he is coming off a rough seven carry for 17 yards performance against the Arizona Cardinals, but that involvement is still promising enough to have faith in a bounce-back week. Anyone looking for a high-risk high-reward flex in Week 13 should be intrigued by Tuten against the Titans.

November 29, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Kenneth Gainwell has been on a hot streak lately and will look to carry that momentum into a Week 13 meeting with the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have struggled to stop the run this season, allowing the third-most fantasy points and second-most yards per attempt to opposing running backs. However, they haven't allowed much receiving production to the position, which is noteworthy given Gainwell's significant role as a pass-catcher. Still, he should approach double-digit carries in this one, even with
Jaylen Warren playing ahead of him on early downs. Gainwell isn't quite a must-start fantasy option, but with
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) back under center, Pittsburgh should keep Sunday's contest competitive enough for him to provide value as a high-end flex play.
--Jorden HillSource: RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders running back
Raheem Mostert has served as the primary backup to rookie
Ashton Jeanty this season, totaling 20 carries for 92 yards, along with nine receptions (nine targets) for 63 yards in eight games. The veteran hasn't recorded more than four touches in a game since Week 6 against the Tennessee Titans. Mostert would be in line to handle the bulk of the touches for the Raiders if Jeanty were to miss any time, but he remains off fantasy radars for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Pro Football Reference
November 29, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Jakobi Meyers has been solid since being acquired by the Jaguars back in Week 10. He's always been a reliable short-field option, making him useful in PPR leagues, but he found the endzone last week to help him produce a good fantasy outing. Over the last two games, he has nine receptions on 12 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown. However, with
Brian Thomas Jr. returning from injury, it is unclear what Meyers's role will be moving forward. Considering Thomas Jr. is more of a deep threat, there's a possibility it won't change that much. That makes Meyers a solid flex play with limited upside against a weak Titans defense. Especially in PPR leagues, Meyers is a fine play in Week 13.
--Seth Quinn - RotoBallerSource: Jakobi Meyers RotoBaller
November 29, 2025
Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns, recording four catches for 62 yards on five targets. The veteran has been a reliable pass-catching option over the past three games, leading the Raiders' wide receivers with 12 catches (14 targets) for 139 yards, averaging 8.6 PPR points per game. It will be interesting to see how the Las Vegas offense looks in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers after the dismissal of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier this week. It's a tough matchup on Sunday for Lockett, with the Chargers allowing the second-fewest PPR points per game to opposing wideouts.
