Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones (fibula) has been dealing with a fractured fibula, per reports but he intends to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Jones was limited in practice on Wednesday before practicing fully on Thursday and Friday. He draws a difficult matchup against a Houston defense that is allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. The tough matchup, coupled with Jones' injury, makes it tough to trust him in fantasy this weekend. Treat him as a low-end QB2 who can be benched if you have a better quarterback option on your bench.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) is questionable for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but is expected to play on Sunday. With
Trey Benson (knee) ruled out for his eighth consecutive game, and
Emari Demercado (ankle) sidelined again, Knight is in to draw the start and split touches with
Michael Carter. Carter has outsnapped Knight in the past two weeks with the same situation, but Knight holds the touch advantage with 23 compared to Carter's 15 in the past two games. The 24-year-old hasn't been efficient as a runner, recording 15 carries for 36 yards to go with eight receptions for 41 yards on nine targets, but has found the end zone in both games to return some fantasy value. Knight should lead Arizona in touches again on Sunday against a Bucs defense that has allowed the 11-most PPR points per game to opposing running backs. He ranks as RotoBaller's RB36 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker
Chase McLaughlin gave fantasy managers a dud during last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. McLaughlin didn't see much action as he made his lone extra point attempt in the loss. McLaughlin didn't attempt any field goals in what was an ugly day for the Bucs offense. The hope is that things get better against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. However, quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint injury which could limit this offense. McLaughlin has been reliable when called upon, so as long as the Bucs can get in scoring position then he'll be able to succeed this weekend.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (leg) will suit up for the second straight week after missing five games due to a leg injury. Godwin was limited last week as he played only 36 percent of the offensive snaps. During that time, Godwin hauled in two of his four targets for nine yards in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The expectation is that Godwin will see a larger workload going forward. However, it's unknown how well the Bucs will do passing the ball with
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) dealing with an AC joint injury. Godwin wasn't impressive when he was healthy earlier in the season. Fantasy managers should put him on the flex radar for this upcoming matchup against the Arizona Cardinals.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back
Bucky Irving (shoulder, foot) is on track to return to the field for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Irving practiced in full all week, which puts him on track to play, barring any setbacks. This will be the first time that Irving has played since Week 4. That being said, Irving is expected to be limited in terms of snaps during his first game back. The Bucs have two other capable options in
Sean Tucker and
Rachaad White as well. This could turn into a three-back committee which would be bad news for fantasy managers. The Bucs might decide to ride the hot hand in what could be a run-heavy gameplan given quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint issue. It's tough to trust Irving as more than a high-end flex option during his first game back.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is expected to suit up for the Week 13 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Mayfield suffered a low-grade AC joint sprain to his left shoulder during last week's game. The plan is to protect his shoulder which could result in a slightly different gameplan. He was able to get through a full practice session on Friday, which puts him in the right direction for Sunday's contest. Mayfield has been held to under 200 passing yards in three of his last four games. He's clearly not 100 percent healthy, so fantasy managers can't count on him as much as they could earlier in the season. The 30-year-old should be viewed as a high-end QB2 with a favorable matchup against the Cardinals defense.

The Indianapolis Colts defense played well in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, holding them to 23 points while notching four sacks and forcing two turnovers. The Colts continue to be one of the more productive fantasy D/STs this year, ranking sixth in the league with 33 sacks and fifth with 11 interceptions. They will look to stay hot at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. Houston's offense will get a boost as they will welcome CJ Stroud back after he missed the past three games with a concussion. That being said, Houston's offense hasn't exactly been dominant with Stroud at the helm this season, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to defenses. The Colts settle in as a top-12 fantasy D/ST this weekend despite the return of Stroud.

Indianapolis Colts kicker Mike Badgley has shown solid accuracy across six games for his team this season, hitting nine of his 10 field-goal attempts and 17 of 19 extra points. The veteran kicker kept it going in last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, hitting both of his field goals and adding two extra points. Badgley will now head home to face off against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been excellent against opposing kickers this season, allowing the fewest fantasy points per game to the position thus far. The Colts have provided plenty of scoring opportunities for their kickers this season but this sets up as one of their toughest matchups yet. Badgley settles in outside of the top-12 fantasy kickers this week, but he can still be started in a pinch.

Indianapolis Colts tight end
Tyler Warren turned in another solid outing in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching five of his seven targets for 45 yards. Warren has been an impressive rookie, catching 55 passes for 662 yards while scoring four all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games. He will look to keep it going in Week 13's home matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans have been tough on tight ends this season, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Warren remains a major piece of the Indy passing attack and should see plenty of work in Week 13, which keeps him in the top-six conversation at tight end despite the difficult matchup.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Alec Pierce turned in a quiet outing in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching just one of his two targets for 26 yards. Overall, Pierce has been a solid fantasy producer this season, catching 29 passes for 611 yards and one touchdown in nine games. Pierce will look to stay productive in a Week 13 home matchup against the Houston Texans. The Texans have been tough on opposing wideouts, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position. With a 21.1 yards per catch average, Pierce offers intriguing boom potential in fantasy, which keeps him in the conversation as a WR3 in Week 13 despite the difficult matchup.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Josh Downs has been quiet of late, having caught just three of his eight targets for 13 scoreless yards over his past two games. Downs will look to get back on track at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans represent a difficult matchup for Downs as they are allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to opposing receivers this season. Downs has not been a priority target in the Indy passing attack this season, which has cut into his fantasy value. He sets up as a WR5 and is not a safe fantasy option heading into Week 13.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Michael Pittman Jr. continued to show a nose for the end zone in a Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching his seventh touchdown in 11 games. He will look to keep it going at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been a difficult matchup for receivers this season, allowing just the 29th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Pittman has operated as the Colts' No. 1 receiver this season and should continue to see plenty of targets, which keeps him in the low-end WR2 conversation for Week 13 despite the tough matchup.

November 29, 2025
Indianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor is coming off a rare slow outing for him as he gained just 58 scoreless yards in a loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Taylor will look to bounce back at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13. The Texans have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 22nd-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs thus far. Taylor has been one of the most dominant fantasy players in the league this season with 17 all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games and should be locked into starting lineups on a weekly basis regardless of his opponent. He sets up as a top-three fantasy running back for Week 13.

New England Patriots kicker
Andy Borregales carries spectacular momentum into Monday's Week 13 contest against the New York Giants. The rookie had the best game of his young career last weekend, going 2-for-2 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals, including one from beyond 50 yards out. As a result, he was named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week and is now the 10th-highest-scoring fantasy kicker in 2025. Borregales' big game wasn't a fluke, and he should carry his momentum into another strong performance on Monday night. The Giants have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to kickers in 2025, and they most recently let
Jake Bates of the Lions go 4-for-4 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals, including one from at least 50 yards. Borregales' kicking skills, favorable matchup, and role in a high-scoring offense make him a very appealing fantasy option for Week 13 against the Giants. He currently ranks as the overall K8 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.

The New England Patriots D/ST unit is a borderline fantasy option heading into Monday's Week 13 contest against the New York Giants. New York's offense still has plenty of holes, but the unit is certainly trending up with the return of
Jaxson Dart (concussion) on Monday night. The rookie has played clean football with just three interceptions through nine games, and he's been able to rack up a total of 17 touchdowns on the ground and through the air. While the Giants are hurting with players like
Malik Nabers (knee) and
Cam Skattebo (ankle) done for the year, their offense should still put up a significant fight against New England's solid defense. New England's D/ST has the sixth-most fantasy points among defenses this season, but the Pats have also forced just two turnovers over their last three games. Taking on the Giants won't be easy. New England ranks as the #11 D/ST unit in this week's RotoBaller expert fantasy rankings.
