Treylon Burks Logs Limited Practice on Wednesday
Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Burks sat out in Week 11 due to a finger injury and didn't play last week with the team on a bye. He briefly moved into the No. 3 role in the offense due to injuries. However, Noah Brown (knee) and Terry McLaurin (quad) both returned to practice this week. Even if he's healthy, Burks might not be an ideal streaming option for the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Mark Andrews Gets Value Boost with Good Matchup in Week 13
Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews put up a dud in Week 12 after a three-game stretch where he finished as the TE5, TE9, and TE4 in half-PPR formats. Before that stretch, he only had one other TE1 finish. In Week 13, however, Andrews and the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals. They're ranked last against opposing tight ends in fantasy, and give up an average of 22.80 fantasy points per game to the position. The second-worst team gives up 17.50 on average, so the Bengals have been especially bad. In fact, they're the only team that has given up close to 1,000 receiving yards and more than seven touchdowns (13). So, Andrews holds TE1 value once again.

Joshua Palmer is Limited in Practice on Wednesday
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Palmer was a bit banged up heading into last Thursday's game versus the Houston Texans. Despite that, Palmer suited up and hauled in two of his four targets for 21 yards in the loss. It appears Palmer is still dealing with an ankle issue right now. Barring any setbacks, Palmer should be ready to go for the Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old isn't an ideal fantasy option when healthy anyway.

Bam Knight Logs Limited Practice Session on Wednesday
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Knight dealt with an ankle issue ahead of the two previous contests, but was active in both. Now, it appears he's over the injury, but picked up a knee problem during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight didn't have much success in the backfield over the weekend as he rushed for 12 yards on 10 carries, but salvaged his fantasy value with a touchdown. His fantasy value could be on the downward trend with Trey Benson (knee) preparing to return to the field. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the health of this backfield throughout the week ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Zay Flowers Once Again Hovering Around WR2 Status in Week 13
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.

Isaac TeSlaa Tagged as Questionable for Week 13
Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. TeSlaa was limited all week ahead of this Thanksgiving matchup. The rookie wideout hasn't seen much of the field this weekend, but that could change this week. Fellow wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for this game. That means, TeSlaa would take over as the No. 3 wideout if he's able to suit up. That would mean more snaps for TeSlaa, but he hasn't done enough on the field this season to trust as a streaming option.

Kalif Raymond Ruled Out for Week 13
Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Raymond made an early exit during Sunday's win over the New York Giants. Sadly, the 31-year-old won't have enough time to get ready before this Thanksgiving matchup. His absence should mean Isaac TeSlaa (hand) takes over as the No. 3 wideout, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Dominic Lovett might get a look. Neither are viable fantasy options heading into this game.

Darren Waller Gets in Limited Practice on Wednesday
Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) had his 21-day practice window opened this week. On Wednesday, Waller practiced for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury in Week 7. The 33-year-old was a limited participant, which isn't shocking given how long he has been sidelined. It's possible that Waller does return this weekend to take on the New Orleans Saints. However, fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if Waller needs more time to get ready. Fantasy managers will need to check back after practice on Thursday and Friday. If he remains out, Greg Dulcich figures to remain the top tight end for another week.

Keaton Mitchell a Risky Option in Week 13
Baltimore Ravens running back Keaton Mitchell is set to see a bit more action in Week 13 after Justice Hill (neck) has officially been ruled out. In Week 12, Mitchell finished with more touches (3) than Hill (0) despite the fact that he had a 19% snap share compared to Hill's 25%. The young speedster has been more efficient and explosive with his touches this season, and more action against a vulnerable defense should mean great opportunities. The Cincinnati Bengals rank last against opposing backfields and have given up a total of nine touchdowns on the ground and five through the air to running backs. While this all equates to good things for Mitchell, he's still projected outside the top 50 and would be a very risky flex option, even in deeper leagues.

Jaylen Waddle Limited During Wednesday's Practice
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (foot) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This seems a bit odd as Waddle wasn't dealing with a foot injury before the bye week. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but the fact he was limited suggests it's a minor issue. Waddle should be ready to go against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday just in case something changes.

Derrick Henry Draws a Great Matchup on Thanksgiving
Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has finished as an RB1 in each of the last two weeks, and has registered double-digit fantasy points over his last six consecutive games in half-PPR formats. Despite an ugly average of 3.0 yards per carry last week, he's always a threat to score, like he did twice against the New York Jets. Their Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnatti Bengals should mean a huge green light for Henry. They're ranked 32nd against opposing backfields and have allowed an average of 32.18 fantasy points per game. Henry is projected as a mid-level RB1 this week and should remain in starting lineups regardless of format.

Devin Neal is Limited on Wednesday
New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Neal took over as the lead back for the final three quarters after Alvin Kamara (knee) exited early during Sunday's game. Neal looks like he picked up a minor ankle injury along the way. The fact he was limited suggests that Neal is on track to play against the Miami Dolphins in Week 13. He rushed the ball seven times for 18 yards, while hauling in five receptions for 43 yards in the loss. Kamara is trending in the wrong direction right now, so Neal could take over as the lead back this weekend.

Alvin Kamara Doesn't Practice on Wednesday
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Kamara was forced to exit early during Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons. He underwent an MRI, which revealed that Kamara is dealing with a sprain. There are still two more days for Kamara to get healthy enough to play, but fantasy managers should prepare to be without him. If he sits, Devin Neal figures to take over as the lead back for the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Neal could offer RB2 value if he takes over the starting gig this weekend.

Lamar Jackson Still Projected as a QB1 Against Bengals
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has registered a rough stretch of fantasy finishes over the last three games as he continues to deal with a slew of injuries. This week, he was dealing with a toe issue that kept him out of the walkthrough on Monday, but he was a full participant the rest of the way. His upside remains one of the highest in the league, especially against a Cincinnati Bengals defense that has allowed the third most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, and the second most over the last four weeks. A lot of these matchups with the Bengals have ended up in a shootout, and Jackson's 10-2 against them in his career with a total of 2,472 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. For that reason, he's still projected as a QB1, but he's become a bit more worrisome week by week.

Chris Olave Limited on Wednesday
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave (back) was forced to make an early exit from Wednesday's practice session. It sounds like Olave is dealing with a minor back issue, so the team pulled him out of drills as a precaution. Fantasy managers should consider Olave as day-to-day. He figures to be ready to go for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers should monitor the injury report over the next two days. If active, fantasy managers should be able to trust Olave as a WR2 for Week 13.
