New York Giants running back
Devin Singletary is set for another stiff test in Week 13 when his team squares off with the hosting New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. The former Buffalo Bill has seen a heavier workload over the previous two games, as New York's pace of play shot up with quarterback
Jameis Winston under center. That could remain true even with
Jaxson Dart back in the fold, but the running game won't be afforded any favors against a staunch Patriots' defense. On the season, New England has allowed the second-fewest rush yards (87.7) and fantasy points per game to running backs (16.63). Singletary sports some low-end flex appeal either way if he can remain involved in the Giants' offense. However, fantasy managers should temper expectations against one of the league's stronger rush defenses. The 28-year-old is RotoBaller's PPR RB42 for this week's slate of action.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end
Michael Mayer (ankle) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mayer was unable to participate for the entire week due to an ankle injury he had sustained early in Week 12 against the Cleveland Browns. The 24-year-old was quickly ruled out last week after injuring his ankle in the first half of the game. Mayers has shown flashes during a lost season for the Raiders and had seen 15 targets in his previous three games before this ankle injury. In Week 13, the Raiders' offense will continue to rely on
Brock Bowers,
Tre Tucker, and recently acquired
Tyler Lockett to lead the passing attack. It is worth noting that this will be the first game this season in which Greg Olson takes over play-calling duties for the Raiders. Ian Thomas should see an increase in snaps and will serve as the Raiders' backup tight end to Bowers with Mayer sidelined.

New York Giants tight end
Theo Johnson has ridden the fantasy roller coaster so far this season. Since Week 4, Johnson has been an inconsistent fantasy option, finishing inside the Top-12 five times and finishing outside the Top-20 four times. The 24-year-old will see a decent matchup heading into Week 13 against the New England Patriots. The Patriots' defense has allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards and the 10th most passing touchdowns this season. With a tough run defense, the Giants' offense could be forced to go to a pass-heavy game script early to sustain drives. This, along with Johnson's red zone presence against a struggling red zone passing defense, could work in his favor. It is worth noting that the Giants will be getting
Jaxson Dart back after missing two games due to a concussion. The stars seem to be aligning for Johnson to be a viable TE2 with a good chance to score his first touchdown since Week 9.

New York Giants running back
Tyrone Tracy Jr. has taken control of the Giants' backfield. Tracy has had 39 carries for 150 rushing yards, along with seven catches for 119 yards on eight targets over his last two games. The 26-year-old has been maximizing his versatile skill set and is making a case to be a reliable running back for managers right before the fantasy playoffs. Heading into Week 13, Tracy will face a stout New England Patriots run defense. The Patriots have allowed the fifth-fewest rushing yards and the fewest rushing touchdowns this season. However, Tracy should be more efficient per touch with rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) being cleared from concussion protocol. Dart's dual-threat ability will force run defenders to pay more attention to him, freeing up bigger running lanes for Tracy. In a difficult matchup, Tracy is an RB3 that can be inserted into flex spots for fantasy managers against New England in Week 13.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
Calvin Austin III is looking to make an impact after posting a few duds recently. Austin has been held to 36 receiving yards or fewer in each of his last three games. The 26-year-old has also seen his snap count decrease heavily over the last two contests. There is certainly some decent upside with Austin, but he's not getting the playing time to be fantasy relevant right now. It's tough to trust him as anything more than a low-end flex option for the upcoming Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

New York Giants quarterback
Jaxson Dart will officially make his return to the field after missing each of the last two games due to a concussion. Interim head coach Mike Kafka confirmed on Thursday that Dart has cleared concussion protocol. Given his injuries, the Giants may elect to change the gameplan with Dart. That means, Dart might not run the ball as much as he was earlier in the season. Regardless, fantasy managers should still be able to trust Dart who has been impressive with his arm through his first seven starts. He draws a tough matchup against the New England Patriots, but Dart remains a QB1 in fantasy leagues.

New York Giants wide receiver
Darius Slayton (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation into Monday's Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots. Slayton was limited in practice this week due to a hamstring issue. However, it doesn't appear to be serious enough to hold him out of this Monday night contest. Slayton hasn't experienced a ton of success this season. Through nine games, Slayton has recorded 24 receptions for 366 yards and zero touchdowns. Due to the lack of options in this offense, Slayton still carries flex value for this upcoming contest.

New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) won't carry an injury designation into the Week 13 matchup against the New England Patriots. Robinson was limited in practice on Friday due to an ankle issue. It doesn't appear to be a serious issue as Robinson has been cleared for this Monday night contest. Robinson has stepped up in the absence of
Malik Nabers (knee) lately. The 24-year-old has six receptions or more in three of his last four games. Quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) is set to return after missing two games. Fantasy managers should be able to count on Robinson as a high-end WR2 for Week 13.

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.
