The Baltimore Ravens placed running back
Justice Hill (neck) on injured reserve due to a neck injury, according to the team. Hill returned in Week 12 against the New York Jets after missing Week 11 because of a toe injury, but will now miss at least the next four games. Hill played on 25.4% of the offensive snaps against the Jets and didn't record a touch, but returned one kickoff for 27 yards. The 28-year-old has mostly played on pass downs behind
Derrick Henry this season, handling 18 carries for 93 yards and two touchdowns along with 21 receptions for 169 yards and another score on 27 targets as a receiver in 10 games. Hill's absence will lead to more opportunities for the dynamic
Keaton Mitchell, who is averaging 5.8 yards per carry on 23 attempts this season.

Buffalo Bills tight end
Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice session, according to the team. Kincaid opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but was upgraded to limited on Thursday, which potentially puts him in a position to return in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old tight end hasn't played since injuring his hamstring during Buffalo's Week 10 loss at the Miami Dolphins, but has been improving in his recovery. Head coach Sean McDermott said earlier this week that "there's a chance" that Kincaid returns this Sunday, and we'll know more about his status after Friday's practice. Kincaid would provide a major lift to a Bills passing attack that has struggled lately, and he'd slot back in as a borderline TE1 for Week 13 if he can play.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Chris Olave (back) didn't participate in Thursday's practice session, Katherine Terrell of ESPN reports. Head coach Kellen Moore downplayed the injury on Wednesday after Olave practiced in a limited capacity due to back spasms, but there is some concern after he was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday. Friday will be an important day for fantasy managers to monitor the 25-year-old wideout's status for Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. If Olave were to miss Sunday's game, tight end
Juwan Johnson and wide receiver
Devaughn Vele figure to see more opportunities, with Johnson likely to rank as a borderline TE1 for Week 13.

New Orleans Saints running back
Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice, according to Katherine Terrell of ESPN. Kamara missed practice for the second consecutive day and is trending toward missing his first game of the season in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. The 30-year-old suffered a knee sprain during New Orleans' Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and is expected to miss some time. He'll have one more opportunity to practice on Friday, but in all likelihood, it will be rookie
Devin Neal leading the backfield on Sunday in Miami. Neal handled seven carries for 18 yards along with five catches (seven targets) for 43 yards in Kamara's absence last week, and offers RB2 value in Week 13 assuming Kamara is out.

November 27, 2025
New York Giants wide receiver
Wan'Dale Robinson (ankle) was listed as limited in practice on Thursday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. It appears to be a new injury for Robinson that he picked up during the Giants' overtime loss to the Lions in Week 12. Robinson erupted with nine catches for a career-high 156 yards and a touchdown on 14 targets in the game with
Jameis Winston at quarterback. Rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) was cleared from concussion protocol and is expected to return on Monday night against the New England Patriots. Robinson has earned targets and had productive games with both Winston and Dart throwing him passes, and he should be fired up again as a WR2 in Week 13, assuming he is good to go.

November 27, 2025
Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury that isn't considered significant, but he is likely to miss one to two weeks, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. St. Brown got rolled up on early in the first quarter against the Green Bay Packers and wasn't able to return. It's relatively positive news that the Lions' star wideout didn't suffer a major injury, but he will need at least a week or two to recover.
Jameson Williams went off in St. Brown's absence, catching seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown, and should see a big boost in opportunities over the next few weeks.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Ari Meirov
November 27, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
D.K. Metcalf (ankle) was listed as a full participant in Thursday's practice session, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Metcalf missed Wednesday's practice after suffering an ankle injury during Pittsburgh's Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, but the 27-year-old wideout's workload was expected to be managed early in the week. The former Seattle Seahawk looks to have avoided a serious injury that would force him to miss any time and should be expected to suit up on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills. Metcalf has had underwhelming production recently, failing to surpass 50 yards in each of his past four games. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR27 in PPR leagues for Week 13.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Tom Pelissero
November 27, 2025
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (left wrist) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. Rodgers missed Week 12's game against the Chicago Bears and was a non-participant in practice to open the week on Wednesday, but was back out there Thursday and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he was "highly optimistic" about Rodgers' chance to return on Sunday. The 42-year-old has been solid so far in his first year in Pittsburgh, but will have a tougher matchup in Week 13 against a Buffalo defense that has allowed the sixth-fewest passing touchdowns this season.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Tom Pelissero
November 27, 2025
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) is off the injury report and is all systems go for Friday's game against the Chicago Bears. Smith was a non-participant in Tuesday and Wednesday's practice, but practiced in full on Thursday. The 27-year-old has been hot recently, topping 80 receiving yards or more in three of his last five games. Overall, he has caught 55 passes for 754 yards and three touchdowns over 11 weeks. The Bears' defense is getting healthier and is expected to get standout defensive back Jaylon Johnson (groin) back on Friday. Despite Johnson's return, Smith is a low-end WR2 in fantasy against the Bears and is ranked 22nd among all wideouts heading into Week 13.

New York Giants rookie quarterback
Jaxson Dart (concussion) has officially cleared concussion protocol and was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Dart has now fully practiced two days in a row and is expected to lead the Giants' offense on Monday night against the New England Patriots. He will return to action for the first time since Week 10 while
Jameis Winston backs him up. The 22-year-old has been fantastic this season, throwing for 1,417 yards, 10 touchdowns, and three interceptions while rushing for 317 yards and seven scores over nine games. Dart can be used as a streamer for Week 13 and is ranked 12th among all quarterbacks in the latest RotoBaller rankings.

November 27, 2025
Dallas Cowboys rookie running back
Jaydon Blue (coach's decision) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Blue is a healthy scratch again for the third straight game and hasn't suited up since Week 8 versus the Broncos. The Cowboys' rookie has rushed for 65 yards on 22 attempts while catching one pass for five yards over four games. With Blue a healthy scratch, look for
Javonte Williams to lead the Cowboys' backfield while
Malik Davis backs him up. Blue's next chance to suit up will be Week 14 against the Detroit Lions. The 21-year-old is difficult to trust and is mainly an option in dynasty leagues until he's active and has a role in the Cowboys backfield.

November 27, 2025
Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) won't return in the Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown was initially questionable to return after injuring his ankle during the first quarter of Thursday's contest. The 26-year-old was downgraded to out and won't return. The severity of St. Brown's ankle injury is unknown, but he is expected to undergo additional tests after the game. He remains day-to-day for now. St. Brown was targeted once before exiting early. His next chance to return will be in Week 14's matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation, but expect
Isaac TeSlaa to see an increase in snaps and targets if St. Brown misses any additional time.

The Detroit Lions are expected to sign star running back
Jahmyr Gibbs to a contract extension this offseason. Gibbs is currently on the four-year rookie deal he signed in 2023 and could be the next Lion to sign a massive extension. The Lions are looking to keep their core together, as they recently extended
Amon-Ra St. Brown, Aidan Hutchinson,
Jameson Williams, and
Jared Goff. Gibbs has been terrific for the Lions and fantasy managers this season. The 23-year-old has rushed for 951 yards on 155 rushing attempts and 10 touchdowns while catching 48 passes for 379 yards and three scores over 11 games. Gibbs has been one of the best running backs in football in an explosive Lions offense and is a surefire first-round pick heading into 2026 fantasy football drafts.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) is questionable to return in Thursday's game against the Green Bay Packers. St. Brown headed to the locker room after getting his ankle rolled up by his offensive line teammates in the first quarter. He was spotted with a noticeable limp and was targeted once before exiting early.
Jameson Williams and
Isaac TeSlaa should see an increase in targets with St. Brown sidelined. RotoBaller will continue to provide updates as they come in, and the severity of St.Brown's injury should be known soon.

November 27, 2025
Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) wasn't present at Thursday's practice. Benson was limited on Wednesday and not spotted for Thursday's session. The 23-year-old has not played since suffering a knee injury in Week 4. It's unclear if Benson was given a maintenance day, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation. He will have one more day to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Emari Demercado (ankle) was also not spotted at practice. If Benson and Demercado are unable to go in Week 13, look for
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter to lead Arizona's backfield once again. If active, Benson is considered a FLEX play in the first game back since Week 4 and is ranked 36th among all running backs heading into this week.

The Dallas Cowboys are looking to retain wide receiver
George Pickens for 2026 and beyond. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones does not want Pickens playing elsewhere in 2026. "We've got two No. 1 wide receivers," said Jones. Pickens was acquired by the Cowboys this offseason and has been excellent for Dallas in 2025. The 24-year-old has racked up 67 catches for 1,054 yards and eight touchdowns over 11 games. He is set to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2025 season as he's in the final year of his rookie deal. The Cowboys could also place the franchise tag on Pickens if they are unable to agree on a contract extension. Pickens is a low-end WR1 in dynasty if he remains in Dallas, where the Cowboys are looking to extend and sign the former Steeler to a long-term deal. Pickens will look to keep things rolling against the Chiefs on Thanksgiving.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones (leg), who has been dealing with a lower-leg injury, suffered a fracture in his fibula, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Despite dealing with a fracture in his fibula, Jones was a full participant in Thursday's practice, and one source said, "he looked good." The 28-year-old will continue to try and play through his injury as the Colts head into a Week 13 divisional matchup against the visiting Houston Texans and their top-ranked defense. Jones has surprisingly been a top-10 fantasy QB through 12 weeks in his first year with the Colts, throwing for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions in 11 games. He hasn't done much with his legs, though, and that should remain the case given his injury. In Week 13 in a bad matchup, fantasy managers in single-QB leagues should fade Jones.

New England Patriots rookie running back
TreVeyon Henderson took advantage of backfield mate
Rhamondre Stevenson missing three games with a toe injury, compiling 264 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns on 47 carries over that span. The 23-year-old second-rounder also added 10 catches on 12 targets for 66 yards and another TD. He had at least 14 rushing attempts in all three of those starts. Stevenson returned in the Week 12 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but Henderson outsnapped him 46 to 22 and saw a healthy 18 carries for 66 yards, adding three receptions for 15 yards on four targets. Stevenson will continue to be involved if he's healthy in New England's backfield, but it looks like Henderson has finally taken over starting duties for the Pats as they head into a Monday night tilt against the Giants in Week 13. Against New York, Henderson will have clear RB1 upside in fantasy in a plus matchup.

Houston Texans quarterback
Davis Mills has filled in nicely over the last three games with
C.J. Stroud sidelined with a concussion. Mills has led the team to three wins, going 69-for-116 passing (59.5%) for 719 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception while also carrying the ball seven times for 38 yards and another score on the ground. He threw for over 250 yards in his first two starts, and he's tossed two TDs in two of his three starts. While the 27-year-old's fantasy stock has been on the rise as a short-term QB2 option in superflex leagues, he could be headed back to the bench this weekend when the team takes on the division-rival Indianapolis Colts on the road. Stroud remains in the league's concussion protocol, but he's practicing in full and is on track to be cleared to play this Sunday. If Stroud is cleared, Mills will head back to the bench in Week 13 and for the remainder of the season.

Detroit Lions offensive tackles Penei Sewell (ankle) and Taylor Decker (shoulder) are both active for the Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday against the division-rival Green Bay Packers in Week 13. Offensive guard Tate Ratledge (knee) will also be available. All three offensive linemen were listed as questionable on the final injury report. Sewell, the team's starting right tackle, has been playing through an ankle injury for the last three weeks but has not missed time. Decker has also been dealing with a shoulder injury for most of November, but he, too, has not missed any action. The 31-year-old veteran will continue to serve as Detroit's starting left tackle as he protects quarterback
Jared Goff's blind side. Sewell and Decker will have their hands full against a strong Packers pass rush on Thursday.

November 27, 2025
Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa (hand), who was listed as questionable for Thursday's game, is officially active for the Thanksgiving Day tilt against the division-rival Green Bay Packers at Ford Field. TeSlaa has barely played in his first season in the NFL, but he's had a nose for the end zone, with two touchdown receptions on his four catches on the year. The 23-year-old third-rounder out of Arkansas could be in line for a season-high in snaps on Turkey Day, too, with
Kalif Raymond (ankle) out, as well as tight ends
Sam LaPorta (back, Injured Reserve) and
Brock Wright (neck). TeSlaa's playing time should receive a boost, but fantasy managers should still consider him a highly volatile, touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues. He's been targeted nine times all year and has 65 yards on his four receptions.
--Keith HernandezSource: Detroit Lions
November 27, 2025
Los Angeles Rams quarterback
Matthew Stafford has played at an elite level this season, throwing 30 touchdowns to just two interceptions in 11 games. Stafford lit up the Bucs for three first-half touchdowns before throttling down in the second half in the Week 12 blowout win. The 37-year-old ranks as the QB4 in fantasy points per game this season, while his elite wide receiver duo of
Puka Nacua and
Davante Adams both rank in the top 10 for PPR points per game. Stafford profiles as a high-end QB1 again in Week 13 against the Carolina Panthers.
--Kyle McCarthySource: RotoBaller
November 27, 2025
Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence had an up-and-down 2025 season through 11 games, completing 59.8% of his passes for 2,407 yards to go with 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions, while adding 54 carries for 210 yards and five more scores on the ground. Lawrence's legs have been a bigger story this season as he's already tied a career high in rushing touchdowns and is tied for fourth among quarterbacks in that category. However, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft has been one of the most turnover-prone quarterbacks in the league, tied for the league lead with 14 giveaways. His pass catchers haven't helped him much this season, as his 35 drops are by far the most among quarterbacks, with
Bo Nix being the next highest with 26. Lawrence will have close to his full group of pass catchers back in a favorable Week 13 matchup against the Titans, and is ranked as RotoBaller's QB14 for the week.

Golden State Warriors forward
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) is hoping to return for Saturday's game against New Orleans. The 23-year-old, who recently scrimmaged on Wednesday afternoon, is working his way back from a knee injury, keeping him off the floor for the Dubs' last seven contests. Before going on the shelf, he was having a down year, averaging 13.8 points, a decrease from the 2025 campaign. However, with
Stephen Curry (quadriceps) at risk of missing time after suffering a quad contusion in Wednesday's NBA Cup loss to the Houston Rockets, Kuminga may see a bump in scoring opportunities, which could certainly make his presence on fantasy rosters more tolerable for frustrated managers. With that said, fantasy managers should consider Kuminga questionable heading into Saturday's meeting, with a more definitive update on his status likely coming on Friday night, when the official injury report is released.

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver
Matthew Golden (wrist) has been ruled out for the Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions, according to Lily Zhao of FOX6 News. Golden is inactive for the second straight game after missing Week 12 due to shoulder and wrist injuries. The rookie first-rounder was listed as limited every day in practice this week, but ultimately wasn't ready to go on a short week. Golden last played in Week 11 against the New York Giants, but posted his lowest snap share of the season (33.3%) and recorded just one reception for 24 yards on three targets. He has been buried on Green Bay's depth chart with multiple other capable pass catchers, and the eventual return of
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) could make the situation even murkier for Golden.

November 27, 2025
Golden State Warriors guard
Stephen Curry (quadriceps) will undergo an MRI after suffering a quad contusion in Wednesday's NBA Cup loss to the Houston Rockets. The multi-time All-Star had a rough time getting his shots to fall on Wednesday night, and he would go on to finish with 14 points while shooting 2-for-9 from behind the three-point line. The Warriors don't play again until Saturday versus the New Orleans Pelicans, so there's a chance he might suit up. Of course, the team will play it safe, considering Curry has sustained numerous injuries throughout his lengthy career. Fortunately for the Dubs,
Jonathan Kuminga (knee) could be back on Saturday, which would certainly help lessen the blow caused by Curry's potential absence.
Jimmy Butler III should also take on more of the scoring load, with
Brandin Podziemski, who had 14 points against Houston from off the bench, potentially working his way into the starting lineup.
--Dennis ClausenSource: Anthony Slater
November 27, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) won't play on Thanksgiving against the Detroit Lions, but there's a solid chance that he will be able to return in Week 14 against the Chicago Bears. Reed has been sidelined since Week 2 after suffering a broken collarbone and was listed as limited in practice every day this week. Head coach Matt LaFleur kept the possibility of the 25-year-old returning on Thursday on the table before he was eventually ruled out, and there's hope that he will be activated from injured reserve soon. In the meantime, Reed remains a strong stash option for fantasy managers as he could return to a prominent role in Green Bay's passing attack alongside
Christian Watson and
Romeo Doubs.

The Chicago Bears activated cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) from injured reserve ahead of their matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Johnson has played in just one game this season, back in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions, but he was listed as a full participant in practice on Tuesday and Wednesday and is expected to return in Week 13. The 26-year-old cornerback's snaps could be limited after missing a lot of time, but his presence will be a big lift to a Chicago Bears defense that has allowed 26.5 points per game so far this season.
--Kyle McCarthySource: Ian Rapoport
November 27, 2025
Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones (fibula) will practice on Thursday, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. Jones was listed as limited for Wednesday's practice session and should be good to play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Jones showed up on the injury report last week with a fibula injury, but practiced in full on Friday and played in the Colts' Week 12 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old played decently well, completing 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns. Jones has had a resurgent season in his first year in Indianapolis, leading one of the best offenses in the league and being a valuable player for fantasy, ranking as the QB9 in points per game (19.0). It's a tough matchup in Week 13 against an elite Texans defense, which puts Jones as more of a high-end QB2.

Cleveland Browns quarterback
Shedeur Sanders made his first career start in Week 12 against the Las Vegas Raiders and was named the starter again in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers. Fellow rookie quarterback
Dillon Gabriel cleared concussion protocol, but head coach Kevin Stefanski will stick with the rookie fifth-rounder after he showed some positive moments in their Week 12 win. Sanders completed 11 of 20 passes for 209 yards with one touchdown and one interception, and took only one sack. It wasn't the greatest performance, with his touchdown coming on a screen pass to
Dylan Sampson, who took it to 66 yards to the house, but there were things to build on. He has appeal as a QB2 in deeper leagues in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers.
