Bam Knight on Track to Play Against Buccaneers
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) is on track to be active for Sunday's clash with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. Knight has dealt with injuries for a few weeks now, first with an ankle issue, and now his ailing knee, which kept him limited at practice this week leading up to the game. If he plays, the 24-year-old is likely to assume a similar role as in the previous few contests, splitting time with backfield mate Michael Carter while Emari Demercado (ankle) misses another outing. For what it's worth, Carter has out-snapped Knight in two straight games, although the latter has out-touched the former, keeping his fantasy value afloat with scores on the ground. Fortunately, Tampa Bay's defense has been kind to fantasy running backs.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Expected to Play in Week 13
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (illness) is expected to be active for Sunday's road clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The former fourth-overall selection of the 2024 NFL Draft has been held out of Arizona's last two contests as he recovered from an appendectomy. After returning to practice this week on a limited basis for the first time since his surgery, the sentiment seems to be that he'll play, despite garnering a questionable tag ahead of Week 13's outing. If Harrison Jr. does indeed suit up, teammate Michael Wilson figures to see a considerable dip in targets, while Greg Dortch would go back to a minimal role in the offense. That is, if the 23-year-old is suitable for his usual allotment of snaps.

Bucky Irving Trending Toward Suiting Up
Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) should be active for Week 13's game with the visiting Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Irving hasn't made an appearance since Week 4 while dealing with multiple injuries, but he'll hopefully make his return on Sunday when his team squares off with the Cardinals at home. It's unclear in what capacity the 23-year-old will operate, considering it's his first in-game action in two months. However, there's reason to believe he could boast a significant workload if all goes well. For now, owners can expect Irving to work in tandem with backfield mates Sean Tucker and Rachaad White until the Oregon product is back up to speed. Fortunately, he'll be eased back in against a middle-of-the-road Cardinals' rush defense if he's healthy enough to play.

Chris Olave Should Play Vs. Dolphins
Per Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football, the New Orleans Saints anticipate wide receiver Chris Olave (back) to suit up for Sunday's road tilt with the Miami Dolphins. The fourth-year pro was forced from practice earlier in the week after dealing with back spasms that eventually made him miss Thursday's session altogether. However, Olave appears on track to play despite the inconvenience. In the case that he might be limited during the game, fantasy managers can expect teammates Kevin Austin Jr. and Mason Tipton to pick up more snaps behind Devaughn Vele. Otherwise, Olave projects as a strong WR2 option, even against a Dolphins' defense that's been less-than-favorable to fantasy wideouts.

P.J. Washington Ruled Out Versus Clippers
Dallas Mavericks forward P.J. Washington (ankle) won't play in Saturday's game against the Clippers. The 27-year-old was in line to suit up. However, he injured his ankle during pre-game warmups and was ruled out after the contest started. The Mavericks were already down Anthony Davis (calf), Dereck Lively II (foot), and Daniel Gafford (foot), meaning Dallas was without another big. Washington has played well this season, averaging a career-high 16.0 points with 7.8 boards, 2.3 assists, and 1.2 blocks. If he isn't available for Monday's game in Denver, Naji Marshall, who got the start on Saturday night, could continue to see more minutes.

Trae Young "Progressing Well," Will be Re-Evaluated in Two Weeks
According ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk, Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young (knee) is "progressing well" in his recovery from a sprained right MCL and will be re-evaluated in two weeks. The 27-year-old appeared in five games before going on the shelf. However, fantasy managers were frustrated by the lack of production, with Young averaging a career-low 17.8 points, 7.8 assists, and 19.2% shooting from behind the arc. The Hawks have remained competitive while he's been away, so the team could take things even slower regarding his rehab. With that said, Young has an excellent chance of getting on track in terms of his statistical contributions once he's back on the floor, although he may see limited minutes for at least a few contests. In the meantime, Jalen Johnson is expected to continue playing at an All-Star level, with increased scoring anticipated from Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who had 30 points in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Isaiah Hartenstein Sidelined a Minimum of 10-14 Days
Oklahoma City Thunder center Isaiah Hartenstein (calf) will be sidelined for at least 10-14 days. The 27-year-old, who has averaged 12.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 1.3 steals, missed his first game of the season in Friday's NBA Cup win over the Phoenix Suns. He'll now miss even more time due to a right Soleus strain. Luckily, Jalen Williams made his 2025 campaign debut versus the Suns, which will certainly help. Jaylin Williams, who had 14 points in 21 minutes of action on Friday, can be considered for streaming purposes until Hartenstein is cleared to return.

Mack Hollins Held Back by Balanced New England Attack
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins projects as a low-volume fantasy option for Week 13, despite an excellent matchup against a vulnerable New York Giants defense. The ninth-year pro has had a few nice outings this season in a high-flying Patriots' offense. However, quarterback Drake Maye's tendency to spread the ball around and the team's inclination toward a more run-heavy game script (46.83% [ninth-highest]) have left the veteran on the outside looking in at times. Through 12 contests, he's recorded more than two receptions on only four occasions, eclipsing 50 receiving yards thrice. Hollins has a decent role in an offense that gets the job done (26.5 points per game), although the lack of concentrated target share makes him an inconsistent fantasy asset. The 32-year-old lands as RotoBaller's PPR WR57 for his bout on Monday Night Football.

Tutu Atwell Won't Return in Week 13
According to Mike Masala of USA Today, the Los Angeles Rams won't activate wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) ahead of Sunday's road outing with the Carolina Panthers. The Florida native has been shelved since injuring his hamstring in the team's Week 7 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars abroad. Despite LA opening Atwell's 21-day practice window earlier this week -- and him logging three full practices -- he won't rejoin them against the hosting Panthers. For one more game, at least, teammates Jordan Whittington, Konata Mumpfield, and Xavier Smith will play behind snap leaders Davante Adams and Puka Nacua. When Atwell returns, he figures to slot back in ahead of Mumpfield and Smith in the hierarchy of the corps.

George Holani Hits Injured Reserve
Per the team, Seattle Seahawks running back George Holani (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury picked up in last weekend's 30-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. The Boise State product will now miss at least the next four games, with his earliest return date coming for the team's outing against the Carolina Panthers in Week 17. In a corresponding move, Seattle signed veteran RB Myles Gaskin from their practice squad to the active roster. While Gaskin may work intermittently in place of Holani, he'll still be a distant third option behind teammates Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet in the Seahawks' backfield. Seattle's ground attack will get a dream matchup in Week 13 against a struggling Minnesota rush defense.

Isaiah Hodgins a Desperation Week 13 Option
New York Giants wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins has been a decent fantasy contributor in two starts with the team, though he'll get another difficult matchup this Monday night against the New England Patriots. Hodgins was signed off the Steelers' practice squad a few weeks back, reuniting him with the Giants' organization. For one game, at least, it appears Hodgins has worked his way behind only Wan'Dale Robinson in terms of snap share, logging two more than Darius Slayton (52) upon the latter's return from a one-game absence. While the Oregon State product may have moved ahead of Slayton in the pecking order, fantasy managers may want to wait one more week before relying on him as a low-floor dart throw, considering a less-than-ideal outing with a tough Pats' defense. Hodgins is RotoBaller's PPR WR69 for his clash with New England.

Tyler Allgeier a Low-Floor Fantasy Option in Week 13
Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier garnered double-digit carries in Week 12, rushing 12 times for 44 yards, and even received one target, which he caught for five yards. Unfortunately for fantasy managers who deployed him as a Flex option, the 25-year-old was unable to find the end zone as he'd done in three of the four previous weeks and seven times this season. The BYU product could see a similar workload in Week 13 in what should be a competitive contest versus the Jets, with the Falcons as three-point road favorites. New York has yielded the ninth-most half-point PPR points to opposing running backs this season, but in what projects to be a low-scoring affair, Allgeier will continue to be a risky RB3/Flex that, if he doesn't score, comes with a very low floor.

Devin Singletary a Volatile Flex Play Vs. Patriots
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.

Michael Mayer Officially Ruled Out for Week 13
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.

Theo Johnson Mainly a Deep-League Streamer vs. the Patriots
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.

Can Tyrone Tracy Jr. Stay Hot in a Difficult Week 13 Matchup vs. Patriots?
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.

Calvin Austin III a Low-End Flex Against Buffalo
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.

Jaxson Dart in QB1 Picture Again in First Game Back
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.

Darius Slayton has Flex Appeal for Week 13
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.

Wan'Dale Robinson Offers High-End WR2 Value
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.

Keleki Latu Elevated 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.

Charlie Smyth Elevated to Active Roster, Will Kick in Week 13
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.

Daniel Gafford Resting Against Clippers
Dallas Mavericks center Daniel Gafford (ankle) won't suit up on Saturday against the Clippers. Gafford most recently amassed five points, four rebounds, and one steal in Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Lakers. However, in an attempt to preserve his health, he'll sit out the second of back-to-back contests, likely returning on Monday in Denver. With Dereck Lively II (foot) and Anthony Davis (calf) also sidelined, P.J. Washington may slide over to the center position, with Naji Marshall gaining more attention from fantasy managers by moving into the starting lineup. Moussa Cisse should also be in line for extra work versus one of the worst defensive teams in the National Basketball Association.

Jalen Duren Won't Play Versus Miami
Detroit Pistons center Jalen Duren (leg) has been ruled out ahead of Saturday's game in Miami. The 22-year-old has played well this season, most recently amassing 16 points, 12 rebounds, four blocks, and one steal in Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Orlando Magic. However, availability is once again becoming a concern, with Duren now missing his third contest of the 2025 campaign. Fantasy managers will need to wait and see if he'll be back on Monday against the visiting Atlanta Hawks. Isaiah Stewart, averaging 12.6 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks in five starts this season, is the favorite to replace Duren in the rotation versus a Heat team that has won their last six contests.

Warren Foegele Not Ready to Return Saturday
Los Angeles Kings winger Warren Foegele (upper body) will skip a second consecutive contest on Saturday against the Vancouver Canucks. He exited the lineup for Friday's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks due to an upper-body injury. It has been a poor campaign for Foegele, who has recorded four goals and zero assists in 16 appearances. Jeff Malott has come into the lineup as Foegele's replacement, but he has zero fantasy value as a fourth-line grinder. Foegele is considered day-to-day and will get his next opportunity to return on Tuesday against the Washington Capitals.

Simon Benoit Won't Play Saturday
Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Simon Benoit (personal) will miss Saturday's matchup against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old will sit out his second game of the season for personal reasons. Benoit ranks second on his team with 34 blocks and fourth with 55 hits. Offensively, his contributions have been limited to two assists in 23 games. Philippe Myers will return to the Maple Leafs defense after spending five games as a healthy scratch. Myers has finished scoreless in 10 appearances this season and should not generate any fantasy interest.

Henri Jokiharju Lands on Injured Reserve
Boston Bruins defenseman Henri Jokiharju (undisclosed) was placed on Injured Reserve ahead of Saturday's contest against the Detroit Red Wings. He sustained an undisclosed injury in Friday's loss to the New York Rangers and must now sit out at least one week of action. Recently, Jokiharju has played a larger role in the Bruins defense due to Charlie McAvoy's (face) absence. He logged a season-high 20:51 of ice time on Friday, posting one assist. By placing Jokiharju on Injured Reserve, the Bruins were able to recall Michael Callahan from the AHL. He will make his fourth appearance of the season against Detroit. Callahen does not hold any fantasy value.

Anthony Davis Ruled Out on Saturday
Dallas Mavericks forward/center Anthony Davis (calf) won't play in Saturday's matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. AD returned for Friday's NBA Cup loss to the Lakers after missing a month because of a calf injury. As expected, he wasn't as productive as usual, finishing with 12 points, five rebounds, five assists, and three blocks in 28 minutes. Fantasy participants should anticipate Davis to return for Monday's meeting with the Denver Nuggets, assuming he didn't suffer a setback on Friday night. With Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively II (foot) also sidelined, Moussa Cisse might work his way into the starting lineup. However, the 23-year-old has a significantly higher ceiling than normal even if he doesn't start, giving him credibility as a streaming option for fantasy managers in Saturday's game against one of the worst defensive squads in the National Basketball Association.

Zack Wheeler Likely to Return in May
Philadelphia Phillies right-hander Zack Wheeler's (shoulder) 2025 season was cut short when he was put on the injured list in August with a blood clot in his right upper extremity. He had a successful thrombolysis removal surgery a day later. It was a disappointing end to another strong season, as Wheeler had a 10-5 record, 2.71 ERA, an elite 195:33 K:BB ratio, and a 0.94 WHIP in 24 starts. On Sept. 23, he had vascular thoracic outlet syndrome surgery. The type of surgery Wheeler had has produced stronger outcomes than the neuronic version that derailed Stephen Strasburg's career. Wheeler is unlikely to be ready by Opening Day next year, but president of baseball operations David Dombrowski said last month that Wheeler is likely to return near the end of May. Wheeler has been a constant at the top of Philly's starting rotation since 2020, but fantasy managers will be skeptical of a pitcher who will turn 36 on May 30 and who is coming off a major surgery.

Boston Bruins forward Pavel Zacha (upper body) is considered a game-time call for Saturday's matchup against the Detroit Red Wings. He missed his first game of the season on Friday versus the New York Rangers. Zacha's injury came at a bad time for the Bruins, as David Pastrnak (undisclosed) was also forced to exit the lineup on Friday. In 2025-26, Zacha has been Boston's third-highest scorer behind Pastrnak and Morgan Geekie. He has totaled 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 25 games. However, Zacha has not been a great fantasy option lately, as he has finished five of his last seven appearances without any points.
