Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson (toe) was listed as a non-participant on Monday on the team's estimated practice report due to a new toe injury, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Although the Ravens are likely just resting Jackson, it's not what fantasy managers want to see. The 28-year-old two-time MVP has been listed on the team's injury report for the last two weeks with minor ankle and knee injuries, and now he's working through a toe ailment. Baltimore was able to beat the New York Jets on Sunday, but it was another quiet game for Jackson, as he went 13-for-23 passing for 153 yards without a touchdown or interception. He added only 11 rushing yards on seven carries. In the last three games, Jackson has one touchdown pass and two interceptions. It's possible that his lower-body injuries -- he also missed a few games with a hamstring injury -- have taken their toll. Jackson has a plus matchup this Thursday against the Bengals if he plays, but his lack of rushing numbers this year has hurt his overall QB1 upside.

Green Bay Packers rookie first-round wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) was listed as limited on Monday on the team's estimated practice report, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Golden missed the team's Week 12 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, but the good news is he's no longer listed with a shoulder injury. If the 22-year-old can upgrade to a full practice in the next two days, he'll have a good chance of suiting up this Thursday to take on the division-rival Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day. Golden won't be a recommended flex play for fantasy managers if he returns, though, especially if
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) plays in his first game since Week 2. There's still plenty of long-term upside with Golden, but he has failed to make a big impact in his first nine NFL games in a crowded WR room in Green Bay, catching 24 passes for 286 yards and no scores.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday on the team's estimated practice report, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein. Reed had his 21-day practice window opened last Friday, and he was listed as limited then, too. The 25-year-old is making progress in his rehab from a broken collarbone and foot fracture, but he's probably more of a long shot to make his return in Week 13 on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day game versus the division-rival Detroit Lions. If Reed does upgrade to a full practice in the next two days and is activated from Injured Reserve, the Packers will most likely ease him back into the offense. Either way, Reed won't come recommended for fantasy football purposes in Week 13 despite his touchdown upside. Reed should have a key role in the Packers' offense eventually, though, making him worth a waiver-wire pickup this week.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee), who missed his first game of the year in Week 12 due to a knee contusion, was listed as limited on Monday's estimated practice report, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. In Jacobs' absence in Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings,
Emanuel Wilson stepped in nicely, running for 100-plus yards and scoring twice on the ground. It could be just a one-week boost for Wilson's fantasy value, though, if Jacobs can return for a Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Detroit Lions this Thursday. If Jacobs can practice in full on either Tuesday or Wednesday, he will most likely return to lead-back duties in Week 13. The 27-year-old former first-rounder has been a no-doubt, must-start RB1 in fantasy this year, scoring on the ground 11 times in his 10 games.

After undergoing an MRI exam on Monday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) has been diagnosed with a low-grade left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, a source tells Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Mayfield injured his left shoulder late in the first half of Sunday night's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams and did not return in the second half. He was seen wearing a sling on his left arm on the sideline. It's good news for the 30-year-old, but it's still unclear if he will play in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals. If Mayfield cannot go, veteran
Teddy Bridgewater would make his first start of the year. Mayfield, who has been on the QB1/2 borderline in fantasy football in recent weeks, should be considered questionable for the next game for now. We should have a better idea of his Week 13 status when Tampa resumes practicing on Wednesday.

Cincinnati Bengals running back
Samaje Perine (ankle) has missed the last two games with an ankle injury, but he was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report, per SI.com's Jay Morrison. It's notable since rookie
Tahj Brooks was already ruled out for Thursday's Thanksgiving Day game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a concussion he suffered in Sunday's loss to the New England Patriots. As long as Perine doesn't suffer a setback with his ankle on Tuesday or Wednesday, he figures to be active in Week 13 to serve as the Bengals' No. 2 RB behind starter
Chase Brown. The 30-year-old doesn't have standalone fantasy football value in a depth role, though. In 32 rushing attempts in 2025, Perine has 198 rushing yards and one score on the ground, adding 30 receiving yards.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow (toe) was listed as a full participant on Monday on the team's estimated injury report, according to Jay Morrison of SI.com. Burrow has not played since suffering a turf-toe injury in Week 2 that required surgery, but he returned to practice last week and is expected to start on Thursday for the Thanksgiving Day clash against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals haven't officially said that the 28-year-old will play in Week 13, but all signs are pointing in that direction. Even though Burrow could show some rust after his long layoff, he should immediately give Cincy's offense a boost over veteran
Joe Flacco, although the matchup this Thursday won't be an easy one versus a Ravens defense that has tightened up the ship in recent weeks. Even without receiver
Tee Higgins (concussion) in Week 13, Burrow will be a low-end QB1 option, at worst, in fantasy if he's active on Turkey Day, as expected.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver
Chris Godwin came out of Sunday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams fine, and the plan is to "ramp up his usage" for the next game in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com. Godwin played on Sunday night for the first time since fracturing his fibula back in Week 5. The 29-year-old pass-catcher was eased in, playing only 36% of the offensive snaps while catching two of his four targets for just nine yards. It's good news for his fantasy managers that his role will grow moving forward, but the problem is that starting quarterback
Baker Mayfield might have to miss time with an AC joint sprain in his left shoulder. The Bucs have a good matchup upcoming against Arizona, but Godwin will be tough to trust in fantasy on Sunday if Mayfield is out.

Washington Commanders wide receiver
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) is back at practice on Monday, coming out of the team's bye week, according to head coach Dan Quinn. It's good news for McLaurin, but it doesn't guarantee that he'll be ready to return for the first time since Week 8 in Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. If the 30-year-old veteran can return this week, not only might he be on a limited snap count, but he'd be taking passes from backup quarterback
Marcus Mariota in one of the worst matchups possible versus Denver's elite defense. McLaurin had his fifth straight 1,000-yard receiving season in 2024, but he's battled injuries in 2025 and has only suited up for four games, catching 13 of 21 targets for 203 yards and one touchdown.
Deebo Samuel Sr. will continue to operate as the team's WR1 if McLaurin isn't cleared by Sunday night.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterbacks coach Greg Olson will take over as the team's interim offensive coordinator to replace Chip Kelly, who was fired on Sunday night, a source told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Olson served as the team's offensive coordinator in 2013 and 2014 and again from 2018-21. In addition to calling offensive plays for the Raiders, he has experience in the same role with the Detroit Lions, Los Angeles Rams, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Jacksonville Jaguars. Olson will have his hands full the rest of the season, as the Raiders currently rank 31st in the NFL in points scored (15.0 per game). In addition to the firing of Kelly, the Raiders also parted ways with senior offensive assistant Bob Bicknell following Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns. Olson's primary goal will be to get rookie first-round running back
Ashton Jeanty going on the ground.

The Washington Commanders announced on Monday that they opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver
Noah Brown (groin, knee). Brown hasn't played since Week 2, but he's now eligible to officially be activated from Injured Reserve. Whether the 29-year-old is cleared to play on Sunday Night Football against the Denver Broncos in Week 13 will depend on how much he's able to do in practice this week. There is an opportunity in Washington's receiving corps with
Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) on IR and with
Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) not having played since Week 8. However, it could still take Brown another several weeks to work himself back into game shape after his long layoff. Before his injuries, the former seventh-round pick had caught just three passes for 36 yards and no touchdowns in two games. Fantasy managers in 12-team leagues can continue to ignore Brown for the time being.

If Minnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy (concussion) isn't cleared from the league's concussion protocol in time, rookie undrafted free-agent QB
Max Brosmer would make the start against the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in Week 13, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That would make Seattle's defense/special teams unit a must-start in all fantasy formats. Brosmer has seen action in four games in his first year in the NFL, going 5-for-8 for 42 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The 24-year-old Minnesota product should handle first-team reps in practice early in the week with McCarthy still in the concussion protocol. McCarthy has really struggled as the starter under center in 2025 after missing his entire rookie season due to a knee injury, but Brosmer could be a downgrade for the Vikings' offense if he's forced into action this weekend.

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said on Monday that the ankle injury that rookie first-round running back
Ashton Jeanty (ankle) picked up late in Sunday's loss to the Cleveland Browns isn't severe, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. Jeanty should have a chance to play in Week 13 against the division-rival Los Angeles Chargers, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on the 21-year-old's practice status this week. Jeanty struggled on the ground yet again in Week 12 against a strong Browns defense, but he still managed to go over 100 scrimmage yards and scored a touchdown on 25 touches. If healthy, Jeanty will continue to be the Raiders' clear RB1, but his fantasy upside is limited behind a bad offensive line in an offense that is averaging just 15 points per game, which is tied for last in the NFL.
Raheem Mostert,
Zamir White, and
Dylan Laube could share backfield touches if Jeanty were to miss time.

Washington Commanders quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) is considered a long shot to play on Sunday Night Football in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos after he was evaluated coming out of the team's bye week, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. However, Daniels has made progress from a dislocated left elbow and will return to practice this week. The 24-year-old second-year signal-caller suffered a gruesome dislocation of his left elbow back in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but luckily, he did not suffer any ligament damage or broken bones. Daniels probably won't play against Denver, but if he continues to make progress, he may be in consideration to start in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. After an impressive rookie season in which he led Washington to the NFC Championship game, Daniels hasn't been able to stay healthy in 2025, as he also missed several games earlier this year with a knee sprain.

Houston Texans quarterback
C.J. Stroud (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol after last seeing action in a Week 9 loss to the Broncos. The Texans have won three straight contests with
Davis Mills under center, but head coach DeMeco Ryans made it clear on Monday that Stroud will reclaim the starting position once he clears protocol. There was optimism in the building that he could have returned in Week 12, had it not been for a short week of preparation to face the Bills on Thursday night; however, he will still need to progress through protocol this week to have a shot at starting against the Colts on Sunday. Texans number one receiver
Nico Collins had turned in stellar fantasy performances in Mills' first two starts, but in a Thursday night win propelled by the team's smothering defense, he caught only three passes for 55 yards and was kept out of the endzone. The Colts represent a plus matchup in Week 13, making Collins a must-start regardless of the team's quarterback situation, while a healthy Stroud re-enters the streaming conversation.
