Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) is off the injury report and is all systems go for Friday's game against the Chicago Bears. Smith was a non-participant in Tuesday and Wednesday's practice, but practiced in full on Thursday. The 27-year-old has been hot recently, topping 80 receiving yards or more in three of his last five games. Overall, he has caught 55 passes for 754 yards and three touchdowns over 11 weeks. The Bears' defense is getting healthier and is expected to get standout defensive back Jaylon Johnson (groin) back on Friday. Despite Johnson's return, Smith is a low-end WR2 in fantasy against the Bears and is ranked 22nd among all wideouts heading into Week 13.

New York Giants rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially cleared concussion protocol and was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Dart has now fully practiced two days in a row and is expected to lead the Giants' offense on Monday night against the New England Patriots. He will return to action for the first time since Week 10 while
Jameis Winston backs him up. The 22-year-old has been fantastic this season, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores over nine games. Dart can be used as a streamer for Week 13 and is ranked 12th among all quarterbacks in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

Dallas Cowboys rookie running back
Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Blue is a healthy scratch again for the third straight game and hasn't suited up since Week 8 versus the Broncos. The Cowboys' rookie has rushed for 65 yards on 22 attempts while catching one pass for five yards over four games. With Blue a healthy scratch, look for
Javonte Williams to lead the Cowboys' backfield while
Malik Davis backs him up. Blue's next chance to suit up will be Week 14 against the Detroit Lions. The 21-year-old is difficult to trust and is mainly an option in dynasty leagues until he's active and has a role in the Cowboys backfield.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) won't return in the Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown was initially questionable to return after injuring his ankle during the first quarter of Thursday's contest. The 26-year-old was downgraded to out and won't return. The severity of St. Brown's ankle injury is unknown, but he is expected to undergo additional tests after the game. He remains day-to-day for now. St. Brown was targeted once before exiting early. His next chance to return will be in Week 14's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but expect
Isaac TeSlaa to see an increase in snaps and targets if St. Brown misses any additional time.

The Detroit Lions are expected to sign star running back
Jahmyr Gibbs to a contract extension this offseason. Gibbs is currently on the four-year rookie deal he signed in 2023 and could be the next Lion to sign a massive extension. The Lions are looking to keep their core together, as they recently extended
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson,
Jameson Williams, and
Jared Goff. Gibbs has been terrific for the Lions and fantasy managers this season. The 23-year-old has rushed for 951 yards on 155 rushing attempts and 10 touchdowns while catching 48 passes for 379 yards and three scores over 11 games. Gibbs has been one of the best running backs in football in an explosive Lions offense and is a surefire first-round pick heading into 2026 fantasy football drafts.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is questionable to return in Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown headed to the locker room after getting his ankle rolled up by his offensive line teammates in the first quarter. He was spotted with a noticeable limp and was targeted once before exiting early.
Jameson Williams and
Isaac TeSlaa should see an increase in targets with St. Brown sidelined. RotoBaller will continue to provide updates as they come in, and the severity of St.Brown's injury should be known soon.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) wasn't present at Thursday's practice. Benson was limited on Wednesday and not spotted for Thursday's session. The 23-year-old has not played since suffering a knee injury in Week 4. It's unclear if Benson was given a maintenance day, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation. He will have one more day to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Emari Demercado (ankle) was also not spotted at practice. If Benson and Demercado are unable to go in Week 13, look for
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter to lead Arizona's backfield once again. If active, Benson is considered a FLEX play in the first game back since Week 4 and is ranked 36th among all running backs heading into this week.

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to retain wide receiver
George Pickens for 2026 and beyond. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not want Pickens playing elsewhere in 2026. "We've got two No. 1 wide receivers," said Jones. Pickens was acquired by the Cowboys this offseason and has been excellent for Dallas in 2025. The 24-year-old has racked up 67 catches for 1,054 yards and eight touchdowns over 11 games. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season as he's in the final year of his rookie deal. The Cowboys could also place the franchise tag on Pickens if they are unable to agree on a contract extension. Pickens is a low-end WR1 in dynasty if he remains in Dallas, where the Cowboys are looking to extend and sign the former Steeler to a long-term deal. Pickens will look to keep things rolling against the Chiefs on Thanksgiving.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones (leg), who has been dealing with a lower-leg injury, suffered a fracture in his fibula, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Despite dealing with a fracture in his fibula, Jones was a full participant in Thursday's practice, and one source said, "he looked good." The 28-year-old will continue to try and play through his injury as the Colts head into a Week 13 divisional matchup against the visiting Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense. Jones has surprisingly been a top-10 fantasy QB through 12 weeks in his first year with the Colts, throwing for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games. He hasn't done much with his legs, though, and that should remain the case given his injury. In Week 13 in a bad matchup, fantasy managers in single-QB leagues should fade Jones.

New England Patriots rookie running back
TreVeyon Henderson took advantage of backfield mate
Rhamondre Stevenson missing three games with a toe injury, compiling 264 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on 47 carries over that span. The 23-year-old second-rounder also added 10 catches on 12 targets for 66 yards and another TD. He had at least 14 rushing attempts in all three of those starts. Stevenson returned in the Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but Henderson outsnapped him 46 to 22 and saw a healthy 18 carries for 66 yards, adding three receptions for 15 yards on four targets. Stevenson will continue to be involved if he's healthy in New England's backfield, but it looks like Henderson has finally taken over starting duties for the Pats as they head into a Monday night tilt against the Giants in Week 13. Against New York, Henderson will have clear RB1 upside in fantasy in a plus matchup.

Houston Texans quarterback
Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with
C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.

Detroit Lions offensive tackles Penei Sewell (ankle) and Taylor Decker (shoulder) are both active for the Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday against the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 13. Offensive guard Tate Ratledge (knee) will also be available. All three offensive linemen were listed as questionable on the final injury report. Sewell, the team's starting right tackle, has been playing through an ankle injury for the last three weeks but has not missed time. Decker has also been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of November, but he, too, has not missed any action. The 31-year-old veteran will continue to serve as Detroit's starting left tackle as he protects quarterback
Jared Goff's blind side. Sewell and Decker will have their hands full against a strong Packers pass rush on Thursday.

Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa (hand), who was listed as questionable for Thursday's game, is officially active for the Thanksgiving Day tilt against the division-rival Green Bay Packers at Ford Field. TeSlaa has barely played in his first season in the NFL, but he's had a nose for the end zone, with two touchdown receptions on his four catches on the year. The 23-year-old third-rounder out of Arkansas could be in line for a season-high in snaps on Turkey Day, too, with
Kalif Raymond (ankle) out, as well as tight ends
Sam LaPorta (back, Injured Reserve) and
Brock Wright (neck). TeSlaa's playing time should receive a boost, but fantasy managers should still consider him a highly volatile, touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues. He's been targeted nine times all year and has 65 yards on his four receptions.

Los Angeles Rams quarterback
Matthew Stafford has played at an elite level this season, throwing 30 touchdowns to just two interceptions in 11 games. Stafford lit up the Bucs for three first-half touchdowns before throttling down in the second half in the Week 12 blowout win. The 37-year-old ranks as the QB4 in fantasy points per game this season, while his elite wide receiver duo of
Puka Nacua and
Davante Adams both rank in the top 10 for PPR points per game. Stafford profiles as a high-end QB1 again in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence had an up-and-down 2025 season through 11 games, completing 59.8% of his passes for 2,407 yards to go with 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, while adding 54 carries for 210 yards and five more scores on the ground. Lawrence's legs have been a bigger story this season as he's already tied a career high in rushing touchdowns and is tied for fourth among quarterbacks in that category. However, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has been one of the most turnover-prone quarterbacks in the league, tied for the league lead with 14 giveaways. His pass catchers haven't helped him much this season, as his 35 drops are by far the most among quarterbacks, with
Bo Nix being the next highest with 26. Lawrence will have close to his full group of pass catchers back in a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Titans, and is ranked as RotoBaller's QB14 for the week.
