Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee) will play on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions and feels close to 100%, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Jacobs suffered a bone bruise in his knee in Green Bay's win over the New York Giants in Week 11 and was close to suiting up in Week 12, but with a second game coming up on Thursday, the team held him out, and he should be a full go against the Lions.
Emanuel Wilson filled in admirably for the 27-year-old last week, handling 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns, but he will return to backup duties with Jacobs back. Jacobs had scored nine touchdowns in his last six games before exiting early against the Giants, and fantasy managers will be happy to plug him back into their lineups in Week 13.

New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson has been a target machine this season, recording 66 receptions for 794 yards and three touchdowns on 102 targets in 11 games. Robinson is one of just seven players with over 100 targets this season. The 24-year-old just posted a career high 156 receiving yards in New York's Week 12 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, racking up 30.6 PPR points and finishing as the WR2 on the week. The 2022 second-round pick is having a career year and is showing improved per catch efficiency with 12 yards per reception after averaging 8.2 over the first three seasons of his career. Robinson is the clear No. 1 target for the Giants with little competition behind him, and he should remain productive in Week 13 against the New England Patriots, whether
Jameis Winston makes his third straight start or
Jaxson Dart (concussion) returns.

Denver Broncos running back
Jaleel McLaughlin totaled just six offensive snaps and one carry all season before Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. McLaughlin played just eight offensive snaps in the game, but handled six carries for 19 yards and a touchdown while adding one catch (one target) for negative five yards. Rookie
R.J. Harvey operated as the clear lead back, playing 60.7% of the snaps and recording 14 touches, but McLaughlin outcarried him two to one inside the 10-yard line and found the end zone. Head coach Sean Payton praised the 25-year-old after the game and said that he will be "important down the stretch." With
J.K. Dobbins (foot) likely out for the year and
Tyler Badie mostly operating on passing downs, McLaughlin should play a key role in Denver's backfield for the remainder of the season and could be the preferred goal-line option, giving him value in deeper leagues.

Chicago Bears rookie running back
Kyle Monangai out-snapped
D'Andre Swift 34 to 26 in Week 12's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Monangai finished with 12 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown in the game, while Swift had eight carries for 15 yards with one reception (one target) for 14 yards. That decision was impacted by Swift losing a fumble, but it could lead to more opportunities for Monangai in future weeks. It was the first game all season where the rookie seventh-rounder played more snaps than Swift, with both players active. Monangai seemingly has the upper hand in goal-line work as well, recording a team-high five carries inside the 10-yard line over the past three weeks and finding the end zone in three straight games. He carries FLEX value with solid touchdown upside for Black Friday's matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller (pectoral) suffered a pectoral injury during Week 7's loss to the Cleveland Browns and was placed on Injured Reserve, but he had his 21-day practice window opened this week. Waller was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, and it's possible that he could play in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints, though it's more likely that he will need more time. The 33-year-old was impactful in four games for the Dolphins this season, catching 10 of his 12 targets for 117 yards and four touchdowns. The veteran tight end's status will be updated on Thursday and Friday. If Waller isn't activated from IR,
Greg Dulcich will remain Miami's top tight end option for Week 13.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland hauled in four of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in the 31-28 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Loveland has emerged as a key contributor in this Bears' passing attack, totaling 40 or more yards in four straight weeks. However, veteran
Cole Kmet remains a factor, splitting the snaps evenly in Week 12 (65%). While Loveland is showcasing his potential, the Bears are the fifth-most run-heavy team in the NFL, and have seven receivers who have 195 yards or more on the season. Loveland faces a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. With a crowded receiving room and a tough matchup, Loveland is a risky start in Week 13.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Luther Burden III showed explosiveness in Week 12, totaling 61 yards on four total touches in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Burden has emerged in recent weeks, playing more snaps than
Olamide Zaccheaus in the last two weeks. While the second round selection has showcased his untapped potential in 2025, he still sits behind
Rome Odunze,
D.J. Moore, and tight end
Colston Loveland in the line for targets. Not only is his target competition stiff, but the Bears have been one of the most run-heavy teams in the NFL, ranking fifth in the NFL in rush attempts this season. The Bears face the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, who have struggled more this season than expected. Burden remains a bench stash for now, as his fantasy value hopes to grow later in the season.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
D.J. Moore was able to find the endzone twice in Week 12, totaling 64 yards on five receptions in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite his strong showing against Pittsburgh, Week 12 marked just his second game of the season with seven or more targets in a game. Whether it's due to the emergence of
Rome Odunze,
Luther Burden III, and
Colston Loveland or the strong workload given to the run game, Moore is a risky option for fantasy managers moving forward. The Eagles host the Bears this weekend, and their secondary has given up the 10th most yards to wide receivers in 2025. Despite the ideal matchup, Moore is a FLEX play at best in Week 13.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze has been very inconsistent and outright untrustworthy in recent weeks. Since the bye in Week 5, Odunze has had fewer than four receptions and 55 yards in five of his last seven games and has only caught one touchdown during that span. Odunze is averaging just 9.1 fantasy points per game since Week 6, on track to finish as the WR51 in that timeframe. The second-year receiver will look to bounce back against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 10th most receiving yards in 2025. While Odunze still offers WR3 value in Week 13, without consistent usage in this Ben Johnson offense, Odunze will remain volatile in fantasy.

Chicago Bears rookie running back
Kyle Monangai has found the endzone in three straight weeks, as he continues to carve out a role in this Bears' backfield. In Week 12, Monangai had 12 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown in the 31-28 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Monangai surpassed Swift in both usage and snap share, playing 57% of the snaps compared to Swift's 43%. Even though those numbers were inflated due to a costly fumble by Swift, it will be an interesting storyline to watch in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles. This Eagles run defense has been middle-of-the-pack against running backs this season, regressing from their top-tier rank in 2024. Monangai offers FLEX value in Week 13, whose fantasy value likely hinges on whether the rookie can find the end zone for a fourth consecutive game.

Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift had his worst game of the 2025 season in Week 12, handling just eight carries for 15 yards. Swift's role plummeted last week, as a costly fumble cut his snaps and his role against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Swift dropped from a consistent 60%+ snap player to playing under 43% of the snaps, trailing rookie running back
Kyle Monangai, who played 57%. This week will be telling to see if Swift loses or returns to his normal starting role in Week 13. The Bears face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have regressed from the league's best run defense in 2024 to a middle-of-the-pack defense in 2025. However, with Monangai continuing to carve a role, Swift is more of a FLEX play in Week 13, rather than a locked-in starter.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams is hoping to lead the Bears to their ninth win in their last 10 games when they face the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13. Williams has ascended in his second season, completing 213 of 360 passes for 2568 yards, with 16 touchdowns and four interceptions in 11 games. Williams has also improved his rushing production in 2025, totaling 293 yards and three touchdowns on 56 carries. The 2024 first-overall pick is averaging 19.7 fantasy points per game, which puts him on pace to finish as the QB8 in fantasy this season. Philadelphia's pass defense has been middle of the pack this season, but has improved since acquiring Jaelan Phillips at the trade deadline. The key will be if Williams can play mistake-free football, as fantasy managers can feel comfortable starting him in Week 13.

November 27, 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams unit looked great for most of their last game against the Cowboys, keeping them from scoring at all until the dying seconds of the first half and then holding them off again for almost all of the third quarter until they started crumbling. However, despite giving up 24 points, Philly still forced Dallas into a sack and two turnovers. This week, the Bears come into town boasting the eighth-highest scoring offense this season, averaging 26.3 points per game. Chicago is also tied for the third-fewest giveaways this year, turning the ball over just eight times in 11 games. But the Bears have been aided by a favorable schedule, and this Philly defense is legit, no matter their opponent. Despite the numbers being against them, the Eagles are still an enticing option this week for the D/ST slot.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker
Jake Elliott just gave fantasy managers whiplash, going from his highest-volume performance of the season in Week 11 to missing his lone field goal attempt in Week 12. Elliott will kick at home in his upcoming game against the Bears, who give up the sixth-most points per game (26.5) in the NFL this season. While Chicago's defense should allow for plenty of scoring opportunities for Philly, Elliott has gotten just 14 tries at field goals this year and missed three of them. He isn't given consistent chances and isn't exactly automatic when his number is finally called. There are better kickers to roster in Week 13.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end
Dallas Goedert let down once again last week, tallying his fifth straight performance with fewer than 50 yards. In fact, Goedert has only eclipsed that number once this season-in Week 6 when he finished with 110 yards. His once-remarkable touchdown streak now feels like a distant memory as he has failed to find the end zone in three consecutive games. What's also concerning is his lack of targets; Goedert has recorded three or fewer looks in three of his last five outings. He has become a rather untrustworthy player lately, so it's difficult to be optimistic about him this week, even against a Bears defense giving up the seventh-most fantasy points to tight ends. Goedert has some work to do to be considered elite again, and for now is only valuable if he starts seeing more red zone work. He's a high-risk, high-reward TE2 in Week 13.
