New York Giants running back
Devin Singletary started the season as the RB3 in New York behind
Cam Skattebo (ankle) and
Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip). However, Skattebo is on Injured Reserve with an ankle injury, and Tracy Jr. suffered a hip injury in the Giants' Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots. While Tracy Jr. said he merely suffered a hip contusion and should be good to go following New York's Week 14 bye, the 2-11 Giants could still choose to shift more work towards Singletary going forward. Even with Tracy Jr. healthy, Singletary has logged at least 14 touches in each of the team's last three games. The 28-year-old has also provided solid production in that span, recording 196 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. As long as he continues to see a similar workload following the Giants' bye week, Singletary should provide flex-worthy production for fantasy managers down the stretch of the season.

Washington Commanders tight end
Zach Ertz had a monster game in Week 13, recording 10 catches for 106 yards on 13 targets against the Denver Broncos. The 35-year-old has been a stable producer in recent weeks, recording at least four catches and 42 receiving yards in each of his last four games. Perhaps most importantly for Ertz's production upside, Washington could be getting quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) back from injury in the coming weeks, possibly even as soon as Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Across 23 career games where Ertz has shared the field with Daniels, he's recorded 11 touchdown catches. While Ertz's fantasy value still mostly comes from his stable floor, his touchdown upside skyrockets with Daniels on the field. Ertz could establish himself as a consistent low-end starting fantasy tight end if Daniels does indeed return in early December.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) has been on Injured Reserve since Week 4 due to a knee injury. However, the 23-year-old was reportedly close to making his return in Week 13, and could now be on track to play in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. Arizona has relied on
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter to anchor its backfield in recent weeks, with Benson and fellow back
Emari Demercado (ankle) sidelined. While Knight has had stretches of solid production, neither back should be much of an impediment to Benson's playing time once he returns to full strength. Across 17 career NFL games, Benson has averaged an impressive 4.9 yards per carry. The Cardinals may choose to work him in slowly in his first game back from injury, but Benson has clear playing time and production upside once he is fully re-integrated into the offense.

Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said he thinks the team has been "seeing the best version" of running back
Kyren Williams "because he's fresher," per ESPN's Dan Graziano. Graziano writes that the Rams "will continue" to rotate Williams and fellow running back
Blake Corum on a drive-to-drive basis. Over the last four weeks, Williams has recorded 51 carries while Corum has logged 35. While Williams has still been productive over that four-game stretch, recording 282 rushing yards and four touchdowns, splitting work with Corum obviously limits his fantasy upside. Luckily for fantasy managers, the Rams offense is so good that both Williams and Corum have the ability to provide solid production every week. Williams remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, but his profile is more touchdown-dependent now than it might have been at the beginning of the season.

For most of the 2025 season, Detroit Lions wide receiver
Isaac TeSlaa has flashed upside but failed to carve out a consistent role in his team's offense. However, with Lions wideouts
Kalif Raymond (ankle) and
Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) both potentially sidelined for Week 14 and beyond, TeSlaa could have an opportunity for regular playing time. After St. Brown went down early in Detroit's Week 13 loss to the Green Bay Packers, TeSlaa recorded two catches for 35 yards and a touchdown on two targets. He also played a career-high 92% of the Lions' offensive snaps and clearly functioned as the team's WR2 alongside
Jameson Williams. With three of six catches on the season going for touchdowns, TeSlaa has proven to be a red zone threat early in his career. For as long as St. Brown and Raymond are out, TeSlaa holds flex appeal for fantasy managers.

ESPN's Dan Graziano writes that he expects the Carolina Panthers to pick up quarterback
Bryce Young's fifth-year option for the 2027 season, but that there is uncertainty about Young's future in Carolina beyond his rookie contract. The number one overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft, Young has rebounded from a horrendous rookie season over the past two years, most notably leading Carolina to a 7-5 record in his starts this season. However, questions remain about the 24-year-old's true franchise-leading upside. Across 12 starts in 2025, Young has completed 63.4% of his pass attempts for 2,337 yards, 18 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He hasn't exactly had an amazing supporting cast around him in Carolina, but Young has also averaged an extremely underwhelming six yards per pass attempt across his 42 career NFL games. It appears as though the Panthers are committed to Young in the short term, but remain in wait-and-see mode as far as handing him a contract extension.

The Cleveland Browns are opening the 21-day practice window for quarterback
Deshaun Watson (Achilles), and he will be limited in practice on Wednesday. Watson suffered an Achilles tear in Week 7 of last season and had a setback in the offseason while recovering. The blockbuster trade that sent Watson from Houston to Cleveland has backfired completely, with Watson playing just 19 games in three seasons and averaging career lows in nearly every statistical category. While there has been no word on whether Watson will play this season, the Browns are activating him just before the deadline for PUP closes, which would prevent him from playing in 2025. Rookie
Shedeur Sanders will likely remain the starter for the remainder of the season, but Watson's return to play will be a headline to watch.

Washington Commanders running back
Chris Rodriguez Jr. has taken over the RB1 duties in Washington. Despite the preseason hype that surrounded seventh-round rookie
Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Rodriguez has been the RB1 as of late, totaling 201 rushing yards and three touchdowns in his last four games. Rodriguez played 44% of the snaps in their past two games, with receiving back
Jeremy McNichols playing 35%, while Croskey-Merritt played just 20%. With the return of
Jayden Daniels imminent, the Commanders' offense could be explosive down the stretch, which means good things are coming for the third-year back from Kentucky. In 2024, Daniels led the Commanders to the fifth-ranked scoring offense and an NFC Championship appearance. If Daniels returns, Rodriguez should have more scoring opportunities and can make an impact in the fantasy playoffs.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end
Brenton Strange has been a major spark for the Jaguars since his return in Week 13. In his last two games, he's hauled in eight of nine targets for 138 yards and a touchdown. After being placed on the injured reserve with a hip injury suffered in Week 5, Strange has reminded Jacksonville how valuable he is. When Strange is active, the Jags are 6-1, and without him, they are 2-3. Despite crowded competition for targets with
Brian Thomas Jr. and
Jakobi Meyers, Strange has a clear role in this offense and a strong connection with quarterback
Trevor Lawrence. The Jaguars host the Indianapolis Colts in Week 14, who have allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Fantasy managers can rely on Strange as a starting option in Week 14, who will look to help the Jaguars to an outright lead in the AFC South.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams is expected to operate as the WR1 in Week 14, when the Lions host the Dallas Cowboys. The former first-round pick has been a fantasy rockstar as of late, totaling over 66 yards and a touchdown in five of his last seven games. Last week,
Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury that knocked him out of Week 13's loss to the Green Bay Packers. With St. Brown not practicing ahead of Week 14, Williams is likely to see more targets on Thursday night. Last week, Williams hauled in seven of 10 targets for 144 yards and a touchdown. The matchup is perfect for Williams as well, as the Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Despite being labeled as a fantasy bust earlier in the season, Williams is a locked-in WR1 in Week 14 if St. Brown is unable to play.

December 3, 2025
Los Angeles Rams running back
Blake Corum had his best game of the season in Week 13, rushing for 81 yards and a touchdown on just seven carries. While the Rams were upset by the Carolina Panthers, Corum was a bright spot in the loss and is continuing to make an impact on this Rams' rushing attack. Earlier in the season, head coach Sean McVay expressed that he wanted the backfield to be a 65/35 split between starter
Kyren Williams and Corum, and that has been the case this season. While Williams has been efficient in 2025, Corum has significantly cut into his workload and made a strong impact of his own. The Rams face the struggling Cardinals' run defense in Week 14, which has allowed double-digit fantasy points to every starting running back they've faced in 2025. While it's a full-blown committee in Los Angeles, both backs carry starting fantasy value in Week 14.

Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline is expected to be the next head coach at South Florida, according to OnSports. The former Ohio State and Miami Dolphins wide receiver is a rising star in the coaching ranks thanks to his work with the Buckeyes' wide receivers in recent seasons, including Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr., Emeka Egbuka, Jeremiah Smith, and more, since landing the WRs coach role in 2018. He took over for Chip Kelly as the team's offensive coordinator in 2025 and has flourished in his first year in that role. This is a great hire for USF, which just lost head coach Alex Golesh to Auburn.

According to ESPN's Pete Thamel, Texas A&M offensive coordinator Collin Klein is expected to be targeted at Kansas State if head coach Chris Klieman steps down. Klein has been excellent as A&M's play-caller since leaving the Kansas State staff in 2023, and the 36-year-old was a star quarterback for the Wildcats from 2008 to 2012. He was a Heisman Trophy finalist and the winner of the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award in his final season in Manhattan. In 2025, Texas A&M tallied 454.4 yards per game, including 192.7 rushing yards per game (second-best in the SEC). The Aggies had an explosive and balanced offense during the regular season, and quarterback Marcel Reed progressed mightily as a passer. This is obviously a natural fit for Klein, and it would not be surprising to see it come to fruition.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back
Omarion Hampton (ankle) is gearing up for a return in Week 14, when they host the Philadelphia Eagles. Hampton hasn't played since Week 5, after he suffered a left-ankle fracture in the loss to the Washington Commanders. Before the injury, the 2025 first-round pick was starting to play his best football, totaling 291 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns in the two weeks before the injury. However, this run game will become more of a committee than what was previously used earlier in the season.
Kimani Vidal has been a force in the run game with Hampton out, logging over 100 rushing yards and a touchdown in four of his last seven games. Hampton's return will be at a great time for fantasy managers, as they prepare for a championship run in their leagues, but his value will be more as an RB2 than as the RB1 he was before.

Kansas State head coach Chris Klieman is considering stepping down, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Thamel reports that nothing has been finalized, but the two sides are in discussions. Klieman took over the Wildcats' program following five seasons at North Dakota State, where he won four FCS National Championships from 2014 to 2018. In seven seasons with Kansas State, he's racked up a 54-34 record, including a 10-4 season and Big 12 title in 2022. The 2025 campaign was a bit of a disappointment, as many expected the Wildcats to compete for a conference crown and a trip to the College Football Playoff. Instead, K-State posted a 6-6 record, going 0-3 against ranked teams and dropping a home game against Army in Week 2.
Update: Klieman is set to announce his retirement this week.--Jackson Sparks - RotoBallerSource: Pete Thamel - ESPN

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Devaughn Vele has been earning more playing time over the past three games, and in the last two specifically, he has been making the most of his opportunities. Over the past two weeks, he has earned 15 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 130 receiving yards and one touchdown. Over the past three games for the Saints, he has played 87 percent or more of the snaps, whereas before Week 10, he hadn't played more than 51 percent. The departure of
Rashid Shaheed opened the opportunity for Vele to step up. He has built a solid relationship with rookie quarterback
Tyler Shough, and because of that, he has worked his way onto the radar as a relevant fantasy option moving forward.
Chris Olave remains the Saints' clear No. 1 receiver; however, Vele has seen his value rise and is worth a look in deeper formats.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport spoke on Good Morning Football on Wednesday and reported that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will get a little healthier this week, leading to Week 14's crucial AFC North matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. Both teams are sitting at (6-6) at the top of the division, and the winner, for now, would take sole possession of the division with a few weeks left to go in the 2025 regular season. Rodgers has been dealing not only with a wrist injury but also a busted-up nose in Week 13; however, as Rapoport reported, Rodgers is a bit healthier this week, and the Steelers are going to need him to turn back the clock and perform well to give the Steelers a shot at the postseason. In his 21st NFL season, Rodgers has thrown for 2,086 yards, 19 touchdowns, and seven interceptions.

New York Jets wide receiver
Adonai Mitchell has seen his stock rise since being traded to the New York Jets and being provided the opportunity to line up as the Jets' No. 1 wide receiver with
Garrett Wilson (knee) on the Injured Reserve. In his three games since playing with the Jets, he's seen 25 targets and hauled in 11 of them for 154 receiving yards and a touchdown. His breakout game came in Week 13, where he went for over 100 receiving yards and a score. With
Tyrod Taylor under center and the passing attack looking better the last few weeks for the Jets, Mitchell will hold WR3/flex fantasy value moving forward, especially while Wilson remains sidelined.

December 3, 2025
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Jalen McMillan (neck) is expected to have his 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, a source said. The Bucs also opened fellow wide receiver
Mike Evans' (collarbone) practice window Wednesday just in time for the end-of-season run for the (7-5) Buccaneers. McMillan had himself a nice rookie season in 2024, with 461 receiving yards on 58 targets and eight touchdowns. He stepped in for the injured Chris Godwin at the time after he suffered an ankle injury during the middle of the season and missed the rest of the 2024 campaign. As great as this news is for the Bucs and McMillan, it's not the most fantastic news for fantasy managers of
Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin,
Tez Johnson, and
Cade Otton, as once Evans and McMillan get thrown into the mix, there's going to be a lot of pass-catchers in this offense and challenging for any one receiver to have any level of consistency if quarterback
Baker Mayfield spreads the ball around, which he likely would. McMillan would likely be on the lower end of that pecking order, not making him fantasy relevant for the rest of the 2025 season, but still a good option in dynasty formats.

December 3, 2025
NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' legendary wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) is having his practice window opened off Injured Reserve, and he'll return to practice Wednesday. A quicker-than-expected return from a broken clavicle, Evans has been medically cleared. This is fantastic news for Mike Evans and the Buccaneers (7-5) as they make a push to win an NFC South title. From a fantasy perspective, it opens the opportunity for Evans to be an option for the fantasy playoffs. It's been a tough year for Evans from an injury standpoint: he injured his hamstring and missed Weeks 4-7, then played in Week 7 and had this collarbone injury. For the season, he's really only played three healthy games, so it will be the first time in his excellent 12-year career that he will not eclipse 1,000 receiving yards. However, getting back on the field to help the Bucs compete for a title is where his head should be. Should Evans suit up in any of the following weeks, he can be inserted into lineups as a low-end WR2 immediately.

Sacramento Kings guard
Dennis Schroder (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup in Houston after missing three straight games, keeping
Russell Westbrook in a prominent ball-handling role. Westbrook has averaged 13.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, and 8.4 assists across his last five outings, including a 16-point, 12-rebound, 14-assist showing on Nov. 28.
Malik Monk (shoulder), who is probable, has been volatile this season but still gains opportunity if Schroder remains sidelined, keeping him on the streaming radar.

Houston Rockets center
Steven Adams (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's meeting with Sacramento after missing Monday's game and moving in and out of the rotation recently. His last appearance featured 13 points, 12 rebounds, and two assists in 17 minutes, but Houston has leaned heavily on small-ball lineups when he is unavailable. That shift pushed
Aaron Holiday to 32 minutes Monday, putting him on the deep-league streaming radar, while
Clint Capela stands to benefit if Houston leans back toward a traditional lineup. Adams remains a risky hold in most formats due to volatility.
--Brian DailisanSource: NBA Injury Report
December 3, 2025
Chicago Bulls guard
Tre Jones (ankle) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Brooklyn and is positioned for a larger role with
Coby White (calf) sidelined. Jones has delivered steady production across his last five appearances, averaging 14.6 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, and he closed Monday's loss with 20 points in 30 minutes. He profiles as a useful short-term streamer for assists and low-turnover guard play.
Ayo Dosunmu should see a slight usage bump if Jones is limited or experiences any setbacks.

San Jose Sharks center Alexander Wennberg (upper body) has been labeled as a game-time decision for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals, Max Miller of NHL.com reports. Wennberg centers the second line and the first power-play unit for the Sharks, averaging close to 21 minutes of ice time. He has posted 13 points (five goals, eight assists) in 27 games. Losing Wennberg would be a tough blow for San Jose, but the team could have Jeff Skinner (lower body) and Michael Misa (lower body) available again. If neither player is cleared for action, Zack Ostapchuk will likely replace Wennberg in the lineup.

December 3, 2025
Cleveland Cavaliers guard
Lonzo Ball (illness) is probable for Wednesday's matchup with Portland after missing two straight games and continuing to navigate periodic injury management. Ball's recent stretch has been uneven, but he still averaged 4.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 4.6 assists across his last five appearances, offering steady playmaking when active. His most recent outing saw three points, five rebounds, and four assists in 17 minutes. He profiles as a deep-league assists and steals streamer, while
Donovan Mitchell and
Darius Garland handle the bulk of playmaking if he suffers a setback.

Boston Bruins defenseman Michael Callahan (lower body) was limited to 2:51 of ice time in Tuesday's 5-4 loss to the Detroit Red Wings. He wasn't available after the first period due to a lower-body injury. Bruins head coach Sturm said postgame he didn't think Callahan "will be ready for the next few days." Boston will return to action on Thursday night against the St. Louis Blues. On Tuesday, Callahan was playing in his second consecutive game after entering the lineup due to injuries. Unfortunately, it looks like he will have to miss time himself now. Overall, Callahan has featured five times for Boston this season, registering nine blocks but not scoring any points.

Dallas Mavericks forward
P.J. Washington (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's matchup with Miami, putting him at risk of a third consecutive absence.
Naji Marshall has absorbed most of the power forward minutes, producing 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.0 assists across his last five games and playing 33 minutes Monday. His balanced stat profile and stable role keep him firmly in the short-term streaming mix. Managers should continue to hold Washington, with Marshall gaining the biggest boost if his ankle keeps him out.

December 3, 2025
Detroit Red Wings forward Michael Rasmussen (undisclosed) left Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Boston Bruins midway through the third period. Rasmussen only recently returned from an undisclosed injury, scoring in back-to-back games. Now, he could be set for another spell on the sidelines. In 24 appearances this season, Rasmussen has contributed four goals and four assists. His exit from the lineup would be a second blow in a short space of time for Detroit's bottom-six group, as Mason Appleton (lower body) was ruled out for at least a week before Tuesday's game.

December 3, 2025
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood (back) exited Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Vancouver Canucks in the second period. He was pulled from the game due to back tightness. Before his exit, Wedgewood stopped 10 of 11 shots. Mackenzie Blackwood replaced him in the crease and helped Colorado secure another victory. The two Avalanche goaltenders have had an even workload lately, and both have performed admirably. It has been a dream campaign for Wedgewood, who was initially brought in as a backup. He currently holds a league-best 13-1-3 record and has become a candidate for Canada's Olympic team. Wedgewood ranks third in the NHL with a 2.07 goals-against average and is also in the top three with his .920 save percentage. Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar described Wedgewood's issue as "nothing serious," so he could see more action this week.

December 3, 2025
Dallas Mavericks center
Daniel Gafford (ankle) is questionable for Wednesday's game in Miami and could miss his third consecutive contest, keeping
Dwight Powell and
Anthony Davis in elevated roles. Powell has averaged 2.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across his last five games. His only notable spike was a 33-minute outing on Nov. 29, which still keeps him in deep-league streamer territory rather than a standard-format target. Davis logged 32 minutes Monday and would remain the primary beneficiary if Gafford sits again.
