Los Angeles Rams quarterback
Matthew Stafford continued to fortify his MVP case with a masterful performance in a 34-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. Stafford completed 25 of 35 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns, all of which came in the first half as the Rams jumped out to a 31-7 lead and coasted the rest of the game. The 37-year-old Stafford has built a solid lead as the favorite for the MVP award with a stellar season, accumulating 2,557 yards and 27 touchdowns to just two interceptions in 11 games. Stafford will continue to rank as one of the best QB options in fantasy, leading an elite Rams offense that also features one of the top wide receiver duos in football in
Puka Nacua and
Davante Adams.

The Las Vegas Raiders are firing offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move comes after another disappointing offensive performance by the Raiders in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 12. The Raiders had just 268 total yards of offense on Sunday and didn't score a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter with the game already decided. Vegas entered Week 12 action ranked 30th in yards per game (269), 24th in passing offense (187.6 yards per game), 31st in rushing offense (81.4 yards per game), and 30th in scoring (15.5 points per game). The Raiders were hoping that they could compete in the tough AFC West after adding veteran quarterback
Geno Smith and rookie running back
Ashton Jeanty in the first round, but it just has not happened. It's unclear who will take over offensive play-calling duties for the Raiders moving forward.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins averaged a paltry 2.9 yards per carry and had 47 rushing yards on 16 carries in the 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but he saved his day for fantasy managers by scoring twice on the ground in the first half in Week 12. The 22-year-old was not targeted in the passing game and has not caught a pass in the last two games. Judkins also suffered a head injury in the fourth quarter and was sent to the medical tent, but he was cleared before the end of the contest. The Ohio State product's head injury allowed
Dylan Sampson to get some run late in the contest, and he took advantage of it by ripping off a 66-yard touchdown catch. Judkins hasn't been very efficient on the ground in the last three games, but as long as he's healthy enough to play in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, where he'll remain an RB2 play in fantasy football.

New Orleans Saints running back
Alvin Kamara's (knee) MRI exam showed an MCL sprain, a source told Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football. Kamara avoided a major injury in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12, but it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss time. It's possible that the 30-year-old misses time, but he is not dealing with a long-term injury. Fantasy managers should expect Kamara to miss at least one game, which means that rookie
Devin Neal would be in line for lead-back duties in a strong matchup in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Kamara has been a major disappointment for fantasy managers in 2025 in a struggling Saints offense. He had only three carries for 11 yards and caught both his targets for four yards on Sunday before leaving early. Neal finished with seven carries for 18 yards and caught five of seven targets for 43 yards through the air.
Taysom Hill had a team-high 10 carries for 17 yards and will also be much more involved in the backfield for the Saints if Kamara misses time going forward.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson has immediately become a legitimate contributor for the Cardinals and fantasy managers in the last two games with
Marvin Harrison Jr. out following an appendectomy. For the second straight week, Wilson had double-digit receptions (10) and over 100 yards (118) on a team-15 targets in the team's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Week 12. Last week, the 25-year-old caught 15 of his 18 targets for 185 yards. Quarterback
Jacoby Brissett has latched onto Wilson as his top target with Harrison sidelined, making him a popular waiver-wire pickup last week. If Wilson is still available in your league, he needs to be scooped up immediately. It's unclear if Harrison will be ready to return in Week 13 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but even if he does come back, Wilson should remain involved in a fantastic matchup against a Bucs defense that has given up tons of yardage the last few weeks through the air.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback
Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium due to a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Mayfield injured his left shoulder near the end of the first half of Week 12 and is unlikely to return in the second half. The 30-year-old veteran went 9-for-19 passing for 41 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the first half, adding 19 rushing yards on four carries. Mayfield's second interception came on a Hail Mary attempt with time expiring in the second quarter. The Bucs were trailing 31-7 going into the second half, which could play into Tampa's decision to sit Mayfield for the entire second half.
Teddy Bridgewater will take over the rest of the way. As of now, it's unclear if Mayfield's shoulder injury is serious enough to put him in danger of missing the Week 13 game against the Arizona Cardinals.
UPDATE: Mayfield was seen with his left arm in a sling on the sideline in the second half.--Keith HernandezSource: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Darnell Mooney made an immediate impact with
Drake London (knee) out in the team's Week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Although Mooney only had three targets in the 24-10 victory on the road, he made his three receptions count, leading the team with 74 receiving yards and finding the end zone for the first time in 2025. The 28-year-old's 74 yards were also a season high. Efficiency could be a problem going forward with quarterback
Kirk Cousins taking over for the injured
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) for the rest of the year, but Mooney could have more opportunities as Atlanta's WR1 with London dealing with a PCL sprain. London is considered week-to-week and could miss the team's Week 13 contest against the New York Jets. Coming into Sunday's game, Mooney had exactly one catch in three of the last four contests. However, he'll be in play again next week as a WR4/flex in fantasy if London misses a second straight game.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Kenneth Gainwell had his second straight big game in his team's 31-28 Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, recording 10 carries for 92 yards and six receptions for 30 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old has emerged as a featured player in the Pittsburgh passing game in recent weeks, recording 13 receptions on 14 targets over the last two games. Notably, fellow Steelers running back
Jaylen Warren did not earn a target in Week 12. Gainwell also out-gained Warren 92 yards to 68 yards on the ground, despite logging eight fewer carries. While Pittsburgh is likely to continue featuring both backs, Gainwell may be eating into Warren's playing time with his recent performance. For the season, Gainwell is now averaging over five yards per touch. He's worthy of flex consideration for fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson recorded 81 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on nine touches in his team's 24-10 Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 21-year-old delivered one of the biggest plays of the game in the fourth quarter when he took a short completion from Browns quarterback
Shedeur Sanders and turned it into a 66-yard catch-and-run touchdown. Sampson has provided the majority of his production this season in the passing game. Across 11 games, he's recorded 23 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets. Fellow Browns rookie running back
Quinshon Judkins remains the early-down rushing workhorse in Cleveland, limiting Sampson's upside. However, he's flashed upside as a pass-catching back that could keep him on deep-league radars down the stretch of the fantasy season. Cleveland will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett completed 33 of 49 pass attempts for 317 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions in his team's 27-24 overtime Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Since taking over as the Cardinals' starting QB for the injured
Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6, Brissett has led one of the league's highest-volume passing attacks. Over his last three games alone, the 32-year-old has attempted a whopping 150 passes. The consistently high volume of throws has helped Brissett put up some impressive counting stats. Across eight games (six starts) in 2025, he's thrown for 1,867 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions. As long as the Cardinals continue to turn to the air at a high rate, Brissett warrants starting consideration from fantasy managers, even in single-QB formats. Arizona will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 13.

Las Vegas Raiders running back
Ashton Jeanty had an underwhelming day on the ground in his team's Week 12 loss to the Cleveland Browns, recording just 50 rushing yards on 17 carries. However, the 21-year-old saved his fantasy production with a monster day as a receiver, recording eight catches for 58 yards and a touchdown on eight targets. With the Raiders' depleted offensive line struggling to open up holes in the ground game, receiving work has become an increasingly important part of Jeanty's repertoire in recent weeks. Across his last four games, Jeanty has hauled in 22 receptions for 135 yards and two touchdowns on 26 targets. He's been targeted eight times in each of the last two weeks. The Raiders' overall inability to consistently move the ball limits Jeanty's ceiling, but he still profiles as a high-volume fantasy RB2 heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown delivered a vintage performance in his team's 24-21 Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, hauling in eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. The 28-year-old has spent most of the 2025 season publicly agitated by his role in Philadelphia's underwhelming pass game. However, Brown has now seen double-digit targets in each of the last two weeks. Across 10 games for the season, he's recorded 46 catches for 567 yards and four touchdowns on 75 targets. Brown's increased involvement in recent games could be a sign that he is getting back on the same page with Eagles quarterback
Jalen Hurts. While Brown hasn't provided the consistent production fantasy managers were hoping for before the start of the season, he remains a starting fantasy wide receiver heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

November 23, 2025
Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski declined to name a starting quarterback for his team's Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers following their win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. With quarterback
Dillon Gabriel (concussion) sidelined by a concussion, fellow rookie QB
Shedeur Sanders made the first start of his NFL career against Las Vegas. The 23-year-old completed 11 of 20 pass attempts for 207 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Across eight games (six starts) before getting injured, Gabriel had completed 59.2% of his pass attempts for 937 yards, seven touchdowns, and two interceptions. While Sanders didn't exactly light up the stat sheet against Las Vegas, it may be hard for Stefanski to go back to Gabriel after his team secured a rare win in Week 12. Neither Gabriel nor Sanders profiles as a fantasy-relevant quarterback in Week 13.

The Kansas City Chiefs are signing former Houston Texans running back
Dameon Pierce to their practice squad, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. He was recently cut loose by the Texans. Once a promising, young running back, Pierce endured a fall from grace and eventually became the odd man out in Houston's backfield. He went from having over 1,100 yards and five touchdowns as a rookie in 2022 to just 26 yards on 10 carries through four games this year. Although he's no longer an impact name in the NFL or fantasy football, the Chiefs hope they can tap into some of his potential, starting by getting him reps on the practice squad. Kansas City needed running back depth with
Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined and
Elijah Mitchell (healthy scratch) losing relevance. It's unlikely that Pierce will have any sort of short-term fantasy value in Kansas City, but the fresh start is promising nonetheless.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. rushed for 86 yards on 15 carries during Sunday's Week 12 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught three of his four targets for 30 receiving yards and a touchdown. After a bit of a lull earlier in the season, Etienne has bounced back as a highly effective RB1 in fantasy football ever since his bye week. In four games since the bye, he has 301 rushing yards, 80 receiving yards, and four touchdowns while ranking as the overall RB6 in PPR leagues during that span. Unlike last week, Etienne was able to fend off a strong game from backfield-mate
Bhayshul Tuten this Sunday. It appears as though Etienne still has a firm grasp on the lead-back role in Jacksonville, keeping him in the top-10 range for next week's matchup against a struggling Tennessee Titans run defense.
