Chris Boswell a Must-Start at Home in Week 13
Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was quiet in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears, but he should bounce back in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Although the Bills haven't given up a ton of fantasy production to kickers, their defense has been subpar overall, allowing nearly 23 points per game. With this contest taking place in Pittsburgh, Boswell's outlook only improves. The 34-year-old has scored at least nine fantasy points in all five of his matchups at Acrisure Stadium this season and is averaging more than five additional fantasy points per game at home than on the road. The inconsistent play of the Steelers' offense caps his reliability a bit, but not enough to remove him from starting consideration. Boswell profiles as a top-10 option on Sunday.

Matt Prater Could Face Inclement Weather in Week 13
Buffalo Bills kicker Matt Prater has been a reliable player through 11 games this season, connecting on 15 of 17 field goal attempts and 32 out of 34 extra-point tries. The 41-year-old may have limited range at this point in his career, as he's attempted just two field goals from 50-plus yards out on the season, making one and missing one. In Week 13, the Bills will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Steelers. Through 12 weeks, Pittsburgh ranks 19th in the NFL in points per game allowed (23.9). While that points to the Bills being able to move the ball on Sunday, the weather in Pittsburgh may play a factor in the kicking game. The current forecast calls for precipitation and colder weather in western Pennsylvania. Prater profiles as a borderline starting kicker option in Week 13, but fantasy managers should be mindful of potential weather issues and check the forecast before lineups lock on Sunday.

Ray Davis Likely to Remain Limited to Reserve Role in Week 13
Across 11 games played in 2025, Buffalo Bills running back Ray Davis has recorded just 44 rushing yards on 22 carries. The 26-year-old appears to have completely faded out of his team's offensive plans in recent weeks, as he's failed to earn a single carry in three out of Buffalo's last four games. With top Bills running backs James Cook and Ty Johnson both healthy and ready to roll for the team's Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, there's little reason for fantasy managers to think that Davis' role will be significantly changed. Since Week 3, Davis has played fewer than 10 offensive snaps in every game but one. He should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 13.

Dawson Knox Remains an Unreliable Tight End Option in Week 13
With Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) sidelined for each of the last two weeks, fellow Bills tight end Dawson Knox has seen a significant increase in snap share. However, Knox has struggled to boost his production, recording just four catches for 40 yards on seven targets over his last two games combined. Kincaid is now questionable to play in Buffalo's Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Knox should still be expected to get his fair share of playing time even if Kincaid returns. Still, Knox has recorded just 16 receptions for 195 yards and a touchdown on 25 targets across 11 games this season. Regardless of Kincaid's final injury status, Knox does not profile as a starting-caliber fantasy tight end in Week 13.

Cam Little a Solid Starting Kicker in Week 13
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little seems like a solid kicking option for fantasy managers in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. He has been both a solid real life and fantasy kicker, which should continue against the 1-10 Titans. The Jaguars should score plenty of points, but how Little's day goes will depend on if those points are mostly touchdowns or a mix of field goals as well. Little has shown reliable accuracy and distance, so as long as the opportunities come, he has a chance for a big fantasy day. The Jaguars offense facing the Titans seems like a good combination for a kicker to succeed in fantasy. Managers should feel good about starting Little in Week 13.

Dalton Kincaid Questionable to Play in Week 13, Borderline Start if Active
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has missed two straight games due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old was able to log limited practices on both Thursday and Friday, so he may be on track to make his return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Across eight games this season, Kincaid has recorded 29 catches for 448 yards and four touchdowns on 36 targets. When healthy, he's been one of Bills quarterback Josh Allen's favorite red zone targets. However, Kincaid's playing time is consistently limited by how the Bills deploy fellow tight ends Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes. If Kincaid is limited by his hamstring issue, the team could choose to restrict his playing time even further against Pittsburgh. If he's active, Kincaid profiles as a borderline low-end TE1 in Week 13.

Jaguars D/ST a Must-Start in Week 13 Against Titans
The Jacksonville Jaguars defense/special teams unit is a must-start and potential number one defense in fantasy in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are the best matchup for fantasy defenses this season, and the Jaguars D/ST has been a good option all season considering their high amount of forced turnovers. The combination of the two makes for a potentially incredible fantasy outing, one that can win fantasy teams their week. The Jaguars offense has been a bit inconsistent this season, meaning the defense may be relied on to make plays and potentially score points to put the Jaguars over the top. If they are somehow still on the waiver wire, the Jaguars D/ST should be picked up immediately in Week 13 against the Titans.

Parker Washington a Speculative Flex Play in Week 13
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington has been solid this season, and has a decent chance for another solid outing in Week 13 against the Tennessee Titans. He is coming off a five-catch, 71-yard performance against the Arizona Cardinals last week. Washington has done well when given playing time. That playing time may be up in the air, however, with Brian Thomas Jr. returning from injury. Washington has proven he deserves consistent playing time with how well he has produced, showing clear chemistry with Trevor Lawrence. He has also shown his ability in the open field on special teams as a punt returner. His play time is unclear at the moment, but if he does continue to get targets, Washington is an underrated flex option in Week 13.

Tyrell Shavers Tough to Trust in Week 13
With his team's wide receiver room in flux, Buffalo Bills wideout Tyrell Shavers had a breakout game in Week 11, recording four catches for 90 yards and a touchdown against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, Shavers followed that game up with a dud against the Houston Texans in Week 12, recording zero catches on zero targets. Shavers also played fewer snaps against Houston than Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer (ankle), and Gabe Davis. Palmer is questionable to play in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers due to an ankle injury, but Buffalo also signed veteran wideout Brandin Cooks. For the season overall, Shavers has played fewer than 50% of his team's offensive snaps in every game but one. Shavers should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 13 against Pittsburgh.

Brenton Strange a Low-End TE1 Against Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange returned from injury with a bang in Week 12, putting up a five-catch, 93 yard performance against the Arizona Cardinals. He was the leading receiver after being out since Week 5. It was an impressive return to an offense in need of a clear number one option, especially with Brian Thomas Jr. out with injury. Thomas Jr. is expected to return this week, but that shouldn't deter fantasy managers from starting Strange with confidence. At a shallow position, even a more difficult matchup and game script not in his favor makes Strange a low-end TE1 this week. The upside is limited, but the floor seems high enough to start Strange in Week 13 against the Titans.

Roman Wilson Off Fantasy Radar in Week 13
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson was held without a catch last week and will look to be more involved against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Though Wilson has been quiet more often than not this season, it's worth noting that Mason Rudolph drew the start at quarterback in Week 12. With Aaron Rodgers (wrist) under center this week, Wilson's ceiling rises slightly, as the two have connected for two touchdowns this season. Still, the second-year pro has yet to carve out a reliable role in Pittsburgh's aerial attack, making him difficult to trust, especially in this matchup. Buffalo has held opposing wideouts to the 10th-fewest receptions and receiving yards in 2025. His involvement is worth monitoring, but Wilson can remain on waiver wires in all redraft formats heading into Week 13.

Joshua Palmer Hard to Trust Despite Easy Matchup
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer hauled in two of four targets for 21 yards in Week 12's 23-19 loss to the Houston Texans. Palmer has been quiet in his first season in Buffalo, as he's currently averaging his fewest fantasy points per game of his entire five-year career. Palmer is a part of one of the worst receiving units in the NFL and has been unable to stand out as a top option in this offense. Maybe this is the week, as the Bills face the league's worst defense against wide receivers this season in the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Palmer may be a cheap and tempting DFS option in Week 13, fantasy managers should steer clear of starting the veteran receiver this week.

Pat Freiermuth Faces Toughest Test of Season Against Bills
Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth returned to the end zone last week and will hope for similar success in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Unfortunately, he draws the toughest possible matchup. Buffalo has held opposing tight ends to the fewest fantasy points, receptions, yards, and touchdowns this season. While Freiermuth has been more productive than teammate Jonnu Smith, none of Pittsburgh's tight ends are commanding consistent weekly opportunities. Between Freiermuth, Smith, and Darnell Washington, Freiermuth's red-zone usage suggests he is the most likely to score on Sunday, but fantasy managers should steer clear of this matchup if possible.

Tyler Warren Added to Injury Report, Questionable With Illness
Indianapolis Colts rookie tight end Tyler Warren (illness) was added to the injury report and is now questionable to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. The rookie tight end has been a budding superstar in 2025, hauling in 55 of 74 passes for 662 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games. Warren is currently on pace to finish as the TE3 in fantasy points per game and has been a huge part of the Colts' offensive explosion in 2025. If Warren is unable to play in Week 13, it would be a massive blow to this attack, especially against the league's best defense. Fantasy managers will have to check into the pregame reports to see if he's active and if his role will be limited in Week 13.

Frank Ragnow Fails Physical, Will Not Play in 2025
After announcing that Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow was coming out of retirement, he failed his physical and will not return to the team this season. According to the team, Ragnow suffered a Grade-3 hamstring strain during a routine meeting and will not play in 2025. The news broke that Ragnow would be coming out of retirement before their Thursday game against the Green Bay Packers, which they lost 31-24 and moved to 7-5. With Ragnow out, and Graham Glasnow (knee) banged up as well, the Lions will rely on Trystan Colon to handle the starting duties at center for Detroit.
