Marvin Mims Jr. Hard to Trust Right Now
Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has barely been used in the offensive gameplan over the last few weeks. Mims has seen one target over his last three games and hasn't hauled in a pass since Week 7. That being said, Mims isn't someone worth targeting ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 23-year-old currently sits as the fourth wideout on this depth chart, which isn't offering fantasy value right now. He's young enough that he's worth stashing in dynasty leagues, but Mims appears to be a safe drop candidate in redraft formats ahead of Week 13.

Wil Lutz Looks to Keep the Momentum Going Against Commanders
In Week 13, Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz will face a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed an average of 26.9 points per game. With Week 11 being a breakout game for Lutz after being asked to kick five field goals in a close win against the Kansas City Chiefs, he could find himself being relied upon again in Week 13 after just signing a three-year extension with the Broncos during the bye. After having such success against the division rival, it's safe to say Lutz earned his keep in that one after missing one field goal in Week 9 and Week 10. With the potential for the offense to find the end zone more in Week 13, RotoBaller has Lutz ranked as the 14th overall kicker.

Evan Engram Remains a Touchdown or Bust TE Option in Week 13
Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram enters Week 13 with a plus matchup against the Washington Commanders, but lacks the snap share to be truly relied upon. After back-to-back duds in Week 9 and Week 10, Engram returned to his normal catch volume with four in Week 11. However, since he is relied upon for short-yardage plays, he has only had two games this season with more than 40 receiving yards. The Commanders enter Week 13 allowing 249.5 passing yards per game, but that likely won't change Engram's route tree much unless some significant changes were made during the bye week. There are going to be better floor options at tight end as RotoBaller has Engram ranked 23rd overall for tight ends in Week 13.

Jaleel McLaughlin Set for Expanded Role in Week 13
Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin is expected to have a larger role the rest of the season with the injury to lead back J.K. Dobbins (foot), and he gets a plus matchup to prove himself if given the opportunity against the Washington Commanders. Despite being on the field for only 13% of snaps in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs, McLaughlin did get six carries for 19 yards and a touchdown while adding one catch for a five-yard loss. If McLaughlin continues to get the goal-line carries for the Broncos offense, he could easily establish weekly value in deeper leagues as a flex option. As for Week 13, McLaughlin will be a solid bench stash and FLEX play in deep leagues as RotoBaller's RB48 overall.

Harold Fannin Jr. a Low-End TE2 in Week 13
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. continued his productive rookie season with a four-catch, 40-yard performance in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Fannin will now look to keep it going in Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been a decent matchup for tight ends this season, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Fannin has been one of Cleveland's most reliable pass catchers this season and should remain one of the team's top targets in Week 13, setting him up as a low-end TE2 heading into Sunday's games.

RJ Harvey Ranks as a High End RB2 in Week 13 vs. the Commanders
Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey looks to dominate the backfield snaps as they approach the Washington Commanders, coming off a bye week. In Week 11, Harvey was on the field for 60% of the snaps in what was a tough defensive game against the Kansas City Chiefs. After having a full bye week to rediscover the offensive strengths after J.K. Dobbins' injury (foot), Harvey should have a true opportunity to shine as their primary ball carrier against the Commanders' 27th-ranked rushing defense, allowing 137.5 rushing yards per game. RotoBaller has Harvey ranked as the RB14 overall for Week 13, marking him as a high-end RB2 coming off the bye.

Jake Moody A Risky Option for Week 13 in Team Debut
Washington Commanders kicker Jake Moody is set to make his team debut in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Moody signed with Washington on November 18, following the team's release of Matt Gay. The 26-year-old Moody began the season with the San Francisco 49ers, but was cut after missing two field goal attempts in Week 1. Moody was then signed to the Chicago Bears practice squad and appeared in two games, making eight of nine attempts, which includes a game-winning kick against the Commanders in Week 6. Moody will hope to carry over that success in Washington and establish himself as a reliable kicker after being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He is a risky option in Week 13 as Washington faces an elite defense in the Denver Broncos.

Troy Franklin Looking to Explode vs. Commanders Coming Out of the Bye Week
Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin will have a golden opportunity in Week 13 against an easier matchup in the Washington Commanders, who are near the bottom of the league in defensive rankings. Franklin is having a breakout season, leading the team in targets this season with 81, and should be leaned on more as they come off the bye week. The Commanders' defense enters Week 13 allowing 249.5 passing yards per game, ranked 28th in the league. Franklin should be able to use this to his advantage as he averages around four catches on nine targets per game over the past five contests. Fire up Franklin as a high-end WR3 with upside as RotoBaller's WR26 overall for Week 13.

Courtland Sutton Gets a Plus Matchup Against the Commanders
Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton can make a statement in Week 13 against the Washington Commanders as he comes off the bye week to face their weak pass defense. Despite being less of a target hog this season due to the emergence of wide receiver Troy Franklin, Sutton is still showing healthy target volume, averaging 6.7 per game, and remains the clear WR1 on paper due to his high snap shares. With the Commanders' defense allowing an average of 249.5 passing yards per game, Sutton should find opportunities for chunk plays. Ranked as RotoBaller's WR18 overall for Week 13, Sutton should be perceived as a WR2 with upside in a plus matchup.

Bo Nix Should Exploit Commanders Through the Passing Game
Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix comes off the bye week with a plus matchup against the Washington Commanders on the road in Week 13. With the Commanders ranking 29th worst in pass defense, allowing 249.5 passing yards per game, Nix should be able to find some chunk plays through the air this week. The Commanders are also ranked 28th-worst in points allowed per game in 2025, at 26.9. With an extra week to recalibrate their offense before the final season-end push for playoff seeding, it should be safe to expect Nix to put up good numbers to build some momentum after poor outings in Weeks 10 and 11. As RotoBaller's QB7 overall for Week 13, fantasy managers can start him with confidence coming off the bye.

Isaiah Bond Back on the Fantasy Radar After Productive Week 12
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond turned in a surprisingly productive performance in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching both of his targets for 58 yards. Bond did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception from Shedeur Sanders in the contest, his first catch since October 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie will now look to keep it going at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 49ers have struggled against the pass this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That being said, the Cleveland passing offense has not shown enough consistency to be trusted in fantasy. Bond sets up as a boom/bust low-end flex option if you are desperate this weekend.

Calvin Austin III is Offering Minimal Upside
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hasn't been much of a factor in the offense throughout most of the season. In fact, Austin has been held to 56 receiving yards or less in every game besides two this season. Last week, Austin hauled in four of his five targets for 36 yards in the loss to the Chicago Bears. At this point in the season, it seems unlikely that Austin is going to be anything more than a low-end flex option in deep leagues. The 26-year-old is worth holding in dynasty formats, but isn't someone that needs to be started in redraft formats against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13.

Cedric Tillman Tough to Trust in Week 13 vs. San Francisco
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman turned in a slow outing in Week 12 despite a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, catching just one of his three targets for five yards. Tillman will look to bounce back at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 49ers have been generous to wide receivers this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, Tillman was unable to take advantage of an even better matchup against the Raiders last week, so this week's plus matchup doesn't necessarily make him a must-start. Tillman settles in as a boom/bust WR5 who is safe to leave on fantasy benches this weekend.

Zach Ertz in TE2 Territory for Tough Week 13 Matchup Against Broncos
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has recorded exactly four receptions in four games in a row and continues to be a solid contributor in his age-35 season. Since recording zero receptions in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time in a game since 2014, Ertz has collected 25 receptions (36 targets) for 238 yards and two touchdowns. His 25 receptions are tied for the 12th most among tight ends during that span. The veteran hasn't found the end zone since Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, and remains a lower-ceiling fantasy option due to his lack of explosiveness, but he has a stable floor as a reliable option in Washington's passing attack. Ertz has a tough matchup in Week 13 against an elite Denver Broncos defense and ranks as RotoBaller's TE17 in PPR leagues.

Nick Anderson Agrees to One-Year Deal With A's
Free-agent right-hander Nick Anderson agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with the Athletics earlier this month that includes an invitation to major-league spring training, according to Jon Morosi of MLB Network. Anderson's MLB salary is $1 million if he's added to the 40-man roster. The 35-year-old has pitched in six big-league seasons with five different teams. He appeared in 12 games out of the bullpen in 2025 for the Colorado Rockies, posting a career-worst 6.14 ERA (10 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings) while striking out 10 and walking two. In his career, Anderson holds a 3.43 ERA (3.38 FIP), 1.11 WHIP, 10 saves, 212 strikeouts, and 49 walks in 173 innings pitched over 177 relief appearances. Anderson will be far from the fantasy radar in all formats and will most likely start the 2026 season at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Dylan Sampson Looking to Build on Strong Week 12 Showing
Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson turned in one of his team's best plays in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders when he hauled in a 66-yard touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders in the fourth quarter. While he hasn't seen a consistent workload this season, Sampson has shown chops in the passing game, catching 23 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. In Week 13, Sampson will look to stay hot at home against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs. While not a safe fantasy play, Sampson sets up as an RB5 with some flex appeal for Week 13's matchup.

Tyrell Shavers is Quickly Losing Value
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers gave fantasy managers a goose egg during last week's game against the Houston Texans. That was a tough blow to fantasy managers who thought Shavers would be a viable option after posting a 90-yard performance in Week 11. Outside of his outburst against Tampa Bay, Shavers has been a non-factor in the offense all season long. The 26-year-old wasn't targeted at all during last week's game against Houston. It seems safe for fantasy managers in redraft formats to move on from Shavers and consider his 90-yard performance a fluke.

Anthony Davis Available, Will be on a Minutes Restriction
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) is available for Friday's meeting with the Los Angeles Lakers. AD hasn't played in a month after suffering a left calf strain during the win over the Indiana Pacers on October 29. Before going down, he was averaging 20.8 points, 10.2 rebounds, 1.2 blocks, and 1.6 steals. While there may be some rust in the equation, Davis can be plugged back into all fantasy lineups, even with a reduced workload of 24-to-27 minutes versus his former club.

Sam Hentges Agrees to One-Year Deal With Giants
Free-agent relief pitcher Sam Hentges and the San Francisco Giants agreed to a one-year, $1.4 million deal on Thursday, a source familiar with the deal told Robert Murray of FanSided. Hentges became a free agent after he was non-tendered by the Cleveland Guardians last week. The 29-year-old is expected to be ready for spring training in February after missing the entire 2025 season after having surgery on his left shoulder and arthroscopic surgery on his right knee back in September. The southpaw won't be on the fantasy radar, but he could end up being a key bullpen piece for the Gigantes if he can return to his pre-injury form. The former fourth-round selection had a 3.04 ERA and 0.97 WHIP in 23 2/3 relief innings before being shut down in 2024, and he holds a career 4.18 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, one save, and a 223:74 K:BB in 168 appearances (12 starts) in the majors since debuting in Cleveland in 2021.

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins turned in a strong effort in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing for two touchdowns, although he finished with just 47 yards on 16 carries. Judkins will look to find the end zone again in Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been tough against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far this season. Judkins has seven touchdowns in 10 games for the Browns this season but has seen his ceiling capped by a scuffling offense. He sets up as a low-end RB2 in Week 13.

Nico Collins a Fringe WR1 Starting QB Back in Week 13
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a very quiet week last week against the Bills, catching three passes for 55 yards in his team's big upset victory. He only had three targets, which was a sharp drop-off after double-digit targets in each of his previous four games. This week, he'll get starting QB C.J. Stroud back from a concussion, which raises his ceiling and gives the entire offense more upside than with Davis Mills. Collins has totaled 52 catches for just under 700 yards in 10 games, and he'll look to take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Colts, who rank in the top 10 this season in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Collins has a very high ceiling, but Stroud could be a little rusty after three weeks off, so there are also some risk factors to consider. He's the No. 11 WR in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a starter in almost all formats, even though he isn't quite a top-10 option at the position after last week's down game and with Stroud ramping back up.

Jaylin Lane Not On Fantasy Radars in Week 13 Against Broncos
Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a hip injury, but was upgraded to full on Friday and heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation. Lane suffered the injury during Washington's Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but had the bye week to recover and is good to go for Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder has been forced into more action on offense than expected this season with Washington being ravaged by injury at wide receiver. The speedy rookie has recorded a reception in all 11 games this season, totaling 16 catches for 225 yards on 30 targets. He had the longest catch of his career with a 41-yard gain on a deep ball from Marcus Mariota in Week 10 against the Lions. However, he figures to slide back into a depth role in Week 13 against the Broncos with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) both returning.

Jerry Jeudy is Tough to Trust in Week 13
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been unable to find much success over the last few weeks. Jeudy has been held to 39 receiving yards or fewer in four of his last five games. The hope was that Jeudy would see increased value with Shedeur Sanders under center. That wasn't the case as Jeudy hauled in one of his three targets for 39 yards last week. It won't get any easier for Jeudy with a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 26-year-old should be viewed as a low-end flex option in deep leagues.

Nick Chubb Continues to Work in Reduced Role
Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb continues to play a reduced role in the team's backfield, which keeps him from being a good fantasy play in most formats this week. Chubb has only totaled 14 rushing attempts in his last three games for a total of 80 yards, along with two catches for only four receiving yards. He has played under 30% of his team's offensive snaps in each of his last three weeks as well, as the team leans more heavily on rookie Woody Marks. Chubb's fantasy value is extremely touchdown-dependent, which is not usually a good thing since he hasn't found the end zone since Week 5 against the Ravens. He's only the RB57 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

Shedeur Sanders a QB3 vs. 49ers in Week 13
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his second career start in a Week 13 home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Sanders looked decent in Week 12's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 11 of his 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He will look to build upon that encouraging debut in Week 13 against a 49ers defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. While Sanders looked more competent than Dillon Gabriel under center, he is still tough to trust in single-quarterback fantasy leagues and is best left on the bench for Week 13's matchup.

Woody Marks a Strong Flex Option in Week 13
Houston Texans running back Woody Marks will look to continue establishing himself as the team's top backfield option this week, as the Texans roll into Indianapolis to face the division-leading Colts. Marks has double-digit carries in six straight weeks since the team's bye week, and he had 74 yards on his 16 carries last week against the Bills, while playing 69% of the team's offensive snaps. He didn't get into the end zone in that matchup, but he has four touchdowns on the season to go with his 422 rushing yards and 185 receiving yards. He has taken on more work over the last few weeks while Nick Chubb's role has decreased. This week against the Colts, Marks is the RB24 in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a low-end RB2 or strong flex play in this road matchup.

Cole Kmet Leads Team in Receiving, Catches Second TD Pass of 2025
Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet led the team in receiving on a day in which both running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai went over 100 rushing yards apiece with two rushing touchdowns in a 24-15 win over the hosting Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Kmet caught all three of his targets on the day for only 36 yards and his second touchdown of the year. Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams only threw for 154 yards as the Bears leaned heavily on the run against Philly. The 26-year-old Kmet's touchdown reception came on a 28-yard strike for the team's only passing TD of the game. It was nice to see Kmet find the end zone again, but rookie first-rounder Colston Loveland (who had three catches for 28 yards in the game) remains the more attractive upside stash in most fantasy leagues for the rest of the season. Kmet has more than one catch in just two of the last seven games.

C.J. Stroud Ready to Return Against the Colts
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will be ready to rejoin his team this week in a huge road game against the Colts. Stroud has missed the last three games since departing in Week 9 with a concussion against the Broncos. Davis Mills led the team to three straight wins, and they're 6-5, sitting on the edge of playoff contention. Stroud threw for 1,702 yards in his eight games with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. In his last full game, he looked very effective with 318 passing yards and two touchdowns against the 49ers. He was inconsistent in some of his early games this season and took some time to adjust to new offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system. However, he started to show off his upside just before his concussion, and he'll look to pick up where he left off in this important matchup on Sunday. He's the No. 20 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a low-end QB2 for this week against the Colts.

Jalen Hurts has Another Lackluster Performance in Loss to Bears
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was unable to turn the team's offensive woes around in their 24-15 loss to the visiting Chicago Bears on Black Friday, going 19-for-34 passing for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Hurts ran the ball four times for 31 yards and also lost a fumble on a tush push. He was not sacked at all in the game. The 27-year-old only threw for 57 yards in the first half against Chicago, but he was able to pick things up after halftime, with both of his touchdown passes going to receiver A.J. Brown -- one on a 33-yard strike. The Eagles' offense has left a lot to be desired for everyone involved in 2025. However, it could be worse for Hurts' fantasy managers, as he has thrown for three touchdowns and run two in over the last two games. The two-time Pro Bowler will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night in Week 14.

Treylon Burks Not a Realistic Fantasy Option in Week 13 Return
Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos. Burks missed Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins after undergoing surgery on a broken finger suffered in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. He reportedly got his finger stuck in the cornerback's facemask and broke it in half, but still made the catch on the play. The former first-round pick in 2022 has been riddled by injuries for most of his career in the NFL, but he has an opportunity to stick in Washington. Burks was impressive in limited action against the Lions in Week 10, playing 38.9% of the snaps and hauling in all three of his targets for 58 yards. His role in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos is to be determined with No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returning, but Burks isn't a fantasy-relevant player right now regardless.
