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.

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.

The Los Angeles Rams D/ST continues to be a must-start unit in most fantasy leagues ahead of Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. The Rams' defense ranks #2 in fantasy scoring this year, and now, they'll face a Panthers offense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to opposing D/ST units in 2025. Carolina has 10 interceptions and seven lost fumbles this year, whereas Los Angeles has 12 interceptions and seven fumble recoveries. Los Angeles should have no trouble slowing down the Panthers both on the ground and through the air this weekend. The Rams D/ST ranks #3 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, and they have the upside to finish Week 13 in the #1 slot.

Los Angeles Rams kicker
Harrison Mevis finally kicked his first NFL field goal during his third game last Sunday. He remains perfect on kicks this season, and his strong stretch of games prompted the Rams to release fellow kicker
Joshua Karty on Friday. Mevis now has the position group all to himself, and he's surging at the right time. He went 4-for-4 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals last week, including one from beyond 50 yards out. He remains a perfect 13-for-13 on extra points and 2-for-2 on field goals since joining the Rams and making his NFL debut. This week, Mevis takes on a Panthers team allowing the 10th-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. Despite this tougher matchup, Mevis is a promising fantasy kicker thanks to how frequently the Rams get into scoring position. He's certainly worth streaming and starting this weekend. After all, he ranks as the overall K6 in RotoBaller's Week 13 fantasy rankings.

Los Angeles Rams tight end
Colby Parkinson has caught a touchdown pass in each of his last three games while cementing himself atop the depth chart. The 26-year-old has been quite productive in the wake of
Tyler Higbee (ankle) landing on injured reserve, and he's firmly on the fantasy radar for his Week 13 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Over his last three games, Parkinson has 10 catches, 96 yards, and three touchdowns, ranking as the overall TE3 in PPR leagues during that span. While that's admittedly a small sample size and the touchdown streak may not be sustainable, Parkinson is still a solid streamer for this weekend. It certainly helps that the Panthers have allowed the second-most receiving yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends in 2025. The 26-year-old ranks in the TE2 tier, but he can certainly be deployed as a starter this week in leagues with at least 12 teams.

Los Angeles Rams running back
Blake Corum continues to carve out a modest role behind
Kyren Williams. However, the bulk of his volume has been short-yardage runs, leaving him off the fantasy radar in most leagues. Over the last two weeks, Corum has a respectable 15 carries, but he has totaled just 34 rushing yards (2.27 yards per carry). He also has zero touchdowns and just one reception during that span. Williams remains the clear lead-back in Los Angeles, which leaves Corum as a bench-worthy running back in most fantasy leagues. Even against the Panthers, who have allowed the eighth-most rushing yards and seventh-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025, Corum isn't a dependable fantasy option. He ranks as the overall RB49 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

November 29, 2025
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Jordan Whittington remains off the fantasy radar in his role behind
Puka Nacua and
Davante Adams. Whittington is nothing more than a fantasy handcuff, and he's not a reliable fantasy option for Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He's coming off a game against the Buccaneers in which he tied his season-high with three receptions, and he added 17 yards on a 61% snap share. Evidently, even when Whittington is having one of his best games of the year, he's still seeing relatively modest target and snap share numbers. Plus, this week, he's facing off against a Panthers defense allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Whittington can be left on waivers in all leagues. He ranks as the overall WR84 in RotoBaller's fantasy rankings for Week 13.
