Buffalo Bills tight end
Keleki Latu was elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is noteworthy given fellow tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) is currently considered questionable to suit up this weekend. The only other times that Latu has been elevated are the games that Kincaid has missed, which are the previous two contests. All signs are pointing to Kincaid missing a third straight game, but fantasy managers will likely have to wait until Sunday for official confirmation. If Kincaid sits, Latu won't be fantasy relevant as
Dawson Knox would take over as the primary tight end.

New Orleans Saints kicker
Charlie Smyth has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The Saints are searching for a new kicker after waiving
Blake Grupe. Smyth was competing with
Cade York throughout the week. It looks like the 24-year-old has won the competition and will start this weekend. The Irish native will make his NFL debut here, so fantasy managers don't have any previous NFL kicking stats to go by. That being said, Smith will be a risky streaming option for Week 13.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders will make the second start of his career this Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, and if he continues to play well, he could earn more starts for the rest of the season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Browns are open to giving Sanders an "extended look for the rest of the season," just as fellow rookie
Dillon Gabriel got in the first half before suffering a concussion that opened the door for Sanders. Much of the Browns' decision will be determined by how Sanders plays, though. Although his numbers didn't jump off the page in his first start last weekend against the Raiders, Cleveland was impressed with his playmaking skills, aggressive downfield throws, and his ability to buy time and push the ball downfield. The Browns have also been impressed with Sanders' work ethic. The 23-year-old threw for 209 yards, one touchdown, and a pick in his first NFL start in Week 12. In Week 13 against a banged-up Niners defense, Sanders will be a QB3 in fantasy in what is expected to be inclement weather.

The Minnesota Vikings have elevated quarterback
John Wolford to the active roster ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Wolford will be starting quarterback
Max Brosmer's backup in Sunday's game, per Kevin Seifert of ESPN. The Vikings' quarterback room has been battling injuries all season, with quarterback
J.J. McCarthy (concussion) in and out of the lineup at various times and veteran quarterback
Carson Wentz (shoulder) having season-ending surgery earlier this season for a torn labrum. Wolford had seen limited action early in his career, with a stint with the Los Angeles Rams. It has been some time since Wolford has taken a meaningful snap in a regular-season NFL game, but he could be called upon to play on Sunday against a tough Seattle defense.

The Los Angeles Chargers have promoted running back
Jaret Patterson from the practice squad to their active roster ahead of Week 13's game against the Las Vegas Raiders. This move is likely to increase depth in a weakened Chargers backfield and support lead running back
Kimani Vidal. Vidal has been the only healthy running back on the roster since fellow running backs
Omarion Hampton (ankle),
Najee Harris (Achilles), and
Hassan Haskins (hamstring) have landed on injured reserve. Patterson has proven to be a capable change-of-pace running back in the NFL, having played for both the Chargers and the Washington Commanders. He will aim to relieve Vidal and share some of the workload in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end
Jonnu Smith has seen limited work in the offense over the last few weeks. Since Week 10, Smith has seen a combined seven targets and two rushing attempts. The 30-year-old has yet to be a consistent fantasy option and has only had two productive weeks this season. Entering Week 13, Smith will face a tough Buffalo Bills passing defense that has allowed the fewest receiving yards this season. However, the Bills' run defense has allowed the third-most rushing yards this season. The Steelers' offense may want to establish the run game early against a run-funnel Bills defense and take pressure off quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist), who is still battling a left wrist injury. Smith is difficult to trust for fantasy managers heading into Week 13 and is mainly an option in deep leagues.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
David Sills V made the most of his opportunity last week with
Drake London (knee) absent, hauling in two of his three targets for 16 yards and one touchdown. London has been ruled out for Week 13 again, so Sills should get an opportunity to be fantasy relevant for a second straight game on Sunday. The 29-year-old will have to share looks with
Darnell Mooney,
Kyle Pitts Sr.,
Bijan Robinson, and others, so the veteran wideout is nothing more than a speculative flier in very deep leagues, especially given that Sunday's matchup versus the Jets is expected to be a low-scoring affair against a defense that has been fairly good against the pass in recent weeks.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver
Kendrick Bourne has been a non-factor in the offense over the last few weeks. In fact, Bourne hasn't hauled in a pass since Week 10. Honestly, Bourne hasn't been a factor in the offense since his five-catch performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6. The 49ers are getting healthy on offense and Bourne is falling out of the offensive gameplan. Last week, Bourne saw a season-low nine percent of the offensive snaps during the win over the Carolina Panthers. Bourne is unlikely to help unless an injury happens, so the 30-year-old is best left on the bench ahead of Week 13.

Denver Broncos wide receiver
Pat Bryant is coming off his best performance of the season against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. The rookie wideout hauled in five of his six targets for 82 yards in the win. This was a solid showing from Bryant who has been a non-factor in the offense outside of that. Bryant has been held to two receptions or less in every game besides his most recent performance. It remains to be seen what kind of involvement Bryant will have coming out of the bye week. He'll likely be a distant third option behind
Courtland Sutton and
Troy Franklin. Bryant is worth a stash in dynasty formats, but isn't a recommended starting option against the Washington Commanders this weekend.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tyjae Spears continues to have a limited upside while splitting up the reps in the backfield. Spears has good long term upside, but has a limited ceiling while he continues to split up the backfield duties with
Tony Pollard. At the moment, Pollard gets most of the ground work while Spears does the receiving work in the backfield. Last week, Spears rushed three times for four yards, while hauling in four receptions for 21 yards in the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old is worth stashing in dynasty formats, but doesn't have great upside in redraft formats. At best, Spears offers low-end flex value for the upcoming matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Tennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo (foot) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo has been limited in practice this week due to a lingering foot issue. When healthy, Okonkwo has been a lackluster option for fantasy managers this season. The 26-year-old has been playing better lately with six receptions for 96 yards over his last two games. Despite that, Okonkwo will still have limited upside due to the fact he'll continue splitting up the playing time with
Gunnar Helm. It doesn't seem like Okonkwo is going to be 100 percent healthy for this game. Fantasy managers should consider him on the lower end in the TE2 conversation for Week 13.

Tennessee Titans tight end
Gunnar Helm is coming off his best performance of the season. Helm hauled in six of his seven targets for 51 yards during the loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The rookie tight end has stepped up his play recently with 10 receptions over his last two games. His role in the offense could increase this weekend with
Chig Okonkwo (foot) currently questionable for the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If he sits, Helm would take over as the primary tight end in this offense for at least one game. Regardless, Helm has done enough lately to be worth a look as a TE2 in deep leagues for this weekend.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) carries a questionable tag into the Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ayomanor has been limited in practice all week due to a lingering hamstring injury that kept him out of last week's game. When healthy, Ayomanor hasn't offered fantasy managers much of anything all season long. The rookie wideout has been held to under 50 receiving yards in every game but two this season. Ayomanor has seen five targets or more in each of his last five games. Despite that, Ayomanor is having little success right now and shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a low-end flex option.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Chimere Dike tied for the team lead with seven targets in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks, recording five catches for 44 yards and a touchdown. Across 11 games this season, the rookie has hauled in 28 catches for 252 yards and two touchdowns on 43 targets. Dike could get some target competition back in the lineup in Week 13, as Titans wideout
Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is questionable to play on Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars after being sidelined in Week 12. Still, Dike has emerged as a relatively safe bet for playing time in Tennessee, playing at least 80% of his team's offensive snaps in three out of his last four games. The Jaguars also profile as a favorable matchup for opposing wide receivers, as they currently rank 22nd in the NFL in passing yards allowed (2,788) and 26th in passing touchdowns allowed (22). Dike profiles as a WR4/deep-league flex option for fantasy managers in Week 13.

Across 11 games this season, Tennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard has recorded 690 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns on 166 touches. The 28-year-old's 4.2 yards-per-touch average is the lowest of his seven-year NFL career. Pollard has been particularly inefficient over his last two games, recording just 67 scrimmage yards on 28 touches. Making matters worse for fantasy managers, Pollard is stuck in a nearly dead-even playing time split with fellow Titans running back
Tyjae Spears. In Week 13, Pollard will face the stingy Jacksonville Jaguars run defense. Entering the week, the Jaguars' defense ranks seventh in the NFL in yards per carry allowed (3.9) and has allowed just seven rushing touchdowns on the season. Pollard appears unlikely to see a high volume of touches, nor be particularly efficient with the work he receives against Jacksonville. He profiles as a low-end RB3/flex option for fantasy managers in Week 13.
