Scott Wedgewood Gives Avalanche Second Consecutive Shutout
Colorado Avalanche goaltender Scott Wedgewood stopped all 22 shots he faced in Sunday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks, improving to 13-1-2 with a 1-0 victory. Colorado recorded a second consecutive shutout after Mackenzie Blackwood stopped the Nashville Predators from scoring on Saturday. The team has now won nine consecutive games, with Wedgewood holding an eight-game personal winning streak. Another victory would tie him for the second-longest winning streak in franchise history. Wedgewood, who leads the league in goalie wins, will begin the new week of action with a 2.09 goals-against average and a .918 save percentage.

Macklin Celebrini Makes History During Multi-Point Performance
San Joe Sharks center Macklin Celebrini led his team to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Sunday night, tallying a goal and an assist. Celebrini passed Patrick Marleau (6) for the most game-winning goals by a Sharks teenager when he lit the lamp on the power play in the second period. The 19-year-old now also holds the franchise record for most five-game point streaks by a teenager (3). This month, Celebrini has finished a game without a point only two times, racking up eight goals and nine assists in 12 outings. The young Sharks star continues to be one of the league's most productive players, with only Colorado's Nathan MacKinnon having more points than him. Celebrini has amassed 34 points (14 goals, 20 assists) in 23 games.

Joey Daccord Posts Shutout in Losing Effort
Seattle Kraken goaltender Joey Daccord posted a rare shutout on Sunday against the New York Islanders, keeping a clean sheet for the second time this season but suffering a 1-0 loss. With David Rittich working for the Islanders, the teams couldn't be separated in 65 minutes of action, and the Islanders recorded a 1-0 victory via a shootout. Daccord's record for the season dropped to 7-3-4. He has registered a 2.56 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. The numbers show that Daccord has been in fine form, but Seattle's lack of scoring is hurting his record. In only half of Daccord's 14 starts, the Kraken have managed more than two goals.

David Rittich Keeps Kraken Quiet
New York Islanders goaltender David Rittich collected his third straight win and first shutout of the season in Sunday's 1-0 shootout victory over the Seattle Kraken. The 33-year-old landed in the net for the second leg of a back-to-back after Ilya Sorokin played in Saturday's 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The two Islanders netminders have combined for two shutouts over the last three games. While it's impossible for Rittich to dislodge Sorokin as the No. 1 goalie on Long Island, he has produced impressive numbers this season. The Czech native holds a 6-2-0 record and has allowed 2.59 goals with a .905 save percentage.

Jesper Wallstedt Picks Up Third Shutout of the Season
Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt kept the Winnipeg Jets from scoring on Sunday, posting his third shutout of the season in a 3-0 road win. He has 32 saves in the contest, becoming the fourth-youngest netminder in NHL history with a season-opening point streak of at least eight games. The 23-year-old Swedish native has gone 6-0-2 to start the year. Wallstedt has won each of his last five starts, allowing only five goals. Incredibly, he has recorded all three of his shutouts this season over his last four appearances. Wallstedt is providing great competition to Filip Gustavsson, as the two goalies have alternated starts over the last couple of weeks.

Rasmus Andersson Extends Point Streak With Three Assists
Calgary Flames defenseman Rasmus Andersson finished Sunday's 5-2 road win over the Vancouver Canucks with three assists. In the process, Andersson extended his point streak to five games. The Swedish blue-liner has overcome a slow start to the season, becoming one of the most productive defensemen in the league recently. Andersson's point streak includes two goals and eight assists. Sunday's performance was his second three-point effort in three games. Following his recent scoring surge, only Nazem Kadri has managed more points than Andersson with the Flames this season. Across 24 games, Andersson has recorded 16 points (five goals, 11 assists), along with 42 blocks.

Tyler Warren Catches Five Passes in Week 12 Loss
Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in a 23-20 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Warren led the Colts in targets while tying for the lead in receptions in the close loss. The rookie continues to impress for the Colts as he now has 55 catches for 662 yards and four all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games, earning him weekly consideration as a TE1 in fantasy. He will look to keep it going in Week 13's home matchup against the Houston Texans.

Michael Pittman Jr. Finds the End Zone in Week 12
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught five of his eight targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Pittman scored the first touchdown of the game when he pulled in a six-yard pass from Daniel Jones with 8:06 left in the first quarter. It was mostly a quiet day after that for Pittman as the Colts only managed two field goals in the second half. Pittman has been a solid fantasy receiver this season as he has 59 catches for 607 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games this year. He will look to keep it going in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.

Jonathan Taylor Quiet in Week 12 Loss to Chiefs
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 58 yards and caught two of his three targets for eight yards in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime in Week 12. In a rare feat, the Chiefs held Taylor out of the end zone for just the third time all season. On the bright side, Taylor continues to dominate the backfield work in Indy as no other running back logged a carry in the close loss to the Chiefs. Taylor has rushed for 1,197 yards and has 17 all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games this season. In Week 13, he will take on a quality Houston Texans defense at home.

Daniel Jones Throws Two TDs in Loss to Chiefs
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19 of his 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns while adding 16 yards on three rushes in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Jones completed touchdown passes to Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree in the close loss while avoiding the turnovers that had plagued him in the prior two games. Jones has thrown for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while adding five rushing touchdowns in 11 games this season. Next, he draws a difficult matchup at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13.

Harold Fannin Jr. Catches Four Passes in Week 12
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught four of his six targets for 40 yards in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Fannin led the team in targets and receptions while finishing third in receiving yards as the Browns picked up their third win of the season in Las Vegas. The rookie hogged all of the receiving work in the tight-end room as David Njoku was not targeted in the game. Fannin has caught 48 passes for 462 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games in what has been an impressive rookie season. He will remain on the TE2 radar in Week 13's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Jerry Jeudy Catches 39-Yard Pass, Fumbles in Week 12
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught one of his three targets for 39 yards and lost a fumble in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Jeudy coughed up the ball at the end of a long catch-and-run when he had the ball poked out from behind in the second quarter. The veteran wideout's disappointing season continues as he has just 32 catches for 395 yards and one touchdown in 11 games. He has been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards in eight contests. Jeudy will not be a strong fantasy option heading into a Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Isaiah Bond Goes for 58 Yards in Week 12 Win
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond caught both of his targets for 58 yards in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Bond did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception in the first half, a play that helped set up Quinshon Judkins for a two-yard touchdown run. The rookie receiver had been quiet in recent weeks, as this was his first game with a catch since Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bond overall has 13 catches for 181 scoreless yards across 10 games this season. He remains an interesting bench stash in deep dynasty leagues, but will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Shedeur Sanders Leads Browns to Win in First NFL Start
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 11 of his 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while losing one yard on his lone carry in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Sanders looked much better than he did in Week 11, when he was forced into action in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens after Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion. Sanders' lone touchdown came on a short pass to Dylan Sampson, which the running back took 66 yards for the score. The Browns have yet to name their starting quarterback for Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, but Sanders' solid performance will at least make it a hard decision for the Cleveland coaching staff this week, assuming Gabriel clears the league's concussion protocol. Sanders remains a low-end fantasy option moving forward.

Parker Washington Delivers With 71 Yards and Touchdown in Week 12 Win
Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington recorded five receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in a 27-24 overtime win over the Arizona Cardinals. Washington bounced back and led the team in targets and tied for the team lead for catches in Week 12 after having just two catches for 20 yards last week. The 23-year-old has been a viable fantasy option since the team's Week 8 bye and injuries to Travis Hunter (knee) and Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle), catching 18 of 25 targets for 214 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 14.3 PPR points per game in that span. The Penn State product continues to build a solid rapport with quarterback Trevor Lawrence and looks like an impactful waiver wire add for fantasy managers who scooped him up. Washington should remain a solid WR3/flex play in Week 13 against the Titans, even with Thomas expected to return.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Totals 130 Yards in Week 12 Loss
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. handled 20 carries for 62 yards to go along with three catches (four targets) for 68 yards as a receiver in Sunday's 34-27 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions. Tracy played a season-high 72% of the snaps in Week 12 and had three of the four running back carries inside the 10-yard line, which is notable because veteran Devin Singletary handled all nine carries near the goal line in the past two weeks. The 26-year-old has now gone over 130 yards from scrimmage in back-to-back games, handling 23 touches in each matchup. Singletary was still involved, carrying the ball 14 times for 47 yards, but Tracy operated as the clear RB1, earning the goal-line touches and receiving work that makes him a much more appealing fantasy asset. Tracy should be viewed as a solid RB2 heading into Week 13 against the New England Patriots.

Davante Adams Catches Two Touchdowns in Sunday Night Win
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams has racked up nine touchdowns over the past five games after scoring twice in Sunday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Adams totaled five catches for 62 yards on eight targets and continues to put together a remarkable season. The 32-year-old could have had an even bigger day as nearly all of his production came in the first half, but the Rams' 31-7 halftime lead led to a more conservative plan in the second half to run out the clock. Adams and fellow superstar wide receiver Puka Nacua demand nearly all of the targets for the Rams offense, and with Matthew Stafford playing at an MVP level, both wideouts have been elite fantasy options. Adams will again rank as a solid WR1 in Week 13 at the Carolina Panthers.

Baker Mayfield has Sprained Shoulder, Will Undergo MRI Monday
Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) sprained his left (non-throwing) shoulder during Sunday night's loss to the Rams and will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Mayfield appeared to injure his shoulder after his touchdown pass to Tez Johnson in the second quarter, grabbing at it and grimacing in discomfort. He then made things worse on the final play of the first half on a Hail Mary attempt and didn't return for the second half. The 30-year-old quarterback was on the sidelines with his left arm in a sling for the second half, and the extent of the injury will be known on Monday following the MRI. Teddy Bridgewater took over in his absence and would be in line to start next week against the Cardinals if Mayfield misses time.

Matthew Stafford Lights Up Bucs For Three Touchdowns Sunday Night
Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford continued to fortify his MVP case with a masterful performance in a 34-7 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday Night Football. Stafford completed 25 of 35 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns, all of which came in the first half as the Rams jumped out to a 31-7 lead and coasted the rest of the game. The 37-year-old Stafford has built a solid lead as the favorite for the MVP award with a stellar season, accumulating 2,557 yards and 27 touchdowns to just two interceptions in 11 games. Stafford will continue to rank as one of the best QB options in fantasy, leading an elite Rams offense that also features one of the top wide receiver duos in football in Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.

Raiders Fire Offensive Coordinator Chip Kelly
The Las Vegas Raiders are firing offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move comes after another disappointing offensive performance by the Raiders in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the visiting Cleveland Browns in Week 12. The Raiders had just 268 total yards of offense on Sunday and didn't score a touchdown until late in the fourth quarter with the game already decided. Vegas entered Week 12 action ranked 30th in yards per game (269), 24th in passing offense (187.6 yards per game), 31st in rushing offense (81.4 yards per game), and 30th in scoring (15.5 points per game). The Raiders were hoping that they could compete in the tough AFC West after adding veteran quarterback Geno Smith and rookie running back Ashton Jeanty in the first round, but it just has not happened. It's unclear who will take over offensive play-calling duties for the Raiders moving forward.

Tigers Eyeing Ryan Helsley as a Starter
The Detroit Tigers are among the teams talking to free-agent right-hander Ryan Helsley about becoming a starter next year, according to people familiar with his market. Helsley has not started since 2019 while at Triple-A Memphis in the St. Louis Cardinals' organization. If the 31-year-old veteran were to return to a starting role, he would need to expand his repertoire, as he threw more than 90% sliders and four-seam fastballs with the Cardinals and New York Mets in 2025. However, he does have a curveball, and he added a cutter in spring training. The market for closers is pretty deep this offseason, so Helsley would expand his possibilities on the open market this winter if he's willing to start. Helsley led the big leagues with 49 saves in 2024, but the two-time All-Star struggled to a 4.50 ERA and 1.54 WHIP this year while saving 21 games with the Cards. He was tipping pitches at times and had a rough 7.20 ERA in 20 innings after joining the Mets.

Braves Re-Sign Joel Payamps to One-Year Deal
The Atlanta Braves agreed to terms on Sunday to re-sign right-hander Joel Payamps on a one-year contract worth $2.25 million for next season, according to the team. Payamps began the 2025 season pitching for the Milwaukee Brewers before he was claimed off waivers by the Braves in late September. The 31-year-old veteran had a career-worst 6.84 ERA (4.54 FIP), 1.52 WHIP, one save, 24 strikeouts, and nine walks in only 26 1/3 innings out of the bullpen in 2025 with both the Brewers and Braves. Payamps should have a role in Atlanta's bullpen on Opening Day, but he won't be much of an option in fantasy baseball leagues as he looks to bounce back in 2026. Through seven big-league seasons, Payamps has a career 3.41 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 10 saves, a 21.9% strikeout rate, and a 7.2% walk rate.

Phil Maton, Cubs Agree on Two-Year Deal
Free-agent right-hander Phil Maton and the Chicago Cubs agreed to an undisclosed two-year deal with a club option for a third year on Friday, a league source told Will Sammon of The Athletic. Daniel Palencia emerged as Chicago's primary closer by the end of the 2025 season, but Maton will no doubt be in the late-inning mix for the Cubs in 2026. The 32-year-old veteran spent the ninth year of his big-league career in 2025 with the St. Louis Cardinals and Texas Rangers, combining for a 2.79 ERA (2.60 FIP), 1.06 WHIP, a career-high five saves, 81 strikeouts, and 23 walks in 61 1/3 innings out of the bullpen in 22 relief appearances. Maton had a strikeout rate over 30% (32.7) for the second time in his career this past season and walked 9.3% of the batters he faced.

Quinshon Judkins Salvages his Day With Two Trips to the End Zone
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins averaged a paltry 2.9 yards per carry and had 47 rushing yards on 16 carries in the 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, but he saved his day for fantasy managers by scoring twice on the ground in the first half in Week 12. The 22-year-old was not targeted in the passing game and has not caught a pass in the last two games. Judkins also suffered a head injury in the fourth quarter and was sent to the medical tent, but he was cleared before the end of the contest. The Ohio State product's head injury allowed Dylan Sampson to get some run late in the contest, and he took advantage of it by ripping off a 66-yard touchdown catch. Judkins hasn't been very efficient on the ground in the last three games, but as long as he's healthy enough to play in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, where he'll remain an RB2 play in fantasy football.

Alvin Kamara Dealing With MCL Sprain, Timetable Unclear
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara's (knee) MRI exam showed an MCL sprain, a source told Nick Underhill of New Orleans Football. Kamara avoided a major injury in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons in Week 12, but it's unclear if he'll be forced to miss time. It's possible that the 30-year-old misses time, but he is not dealing with a long-term injury. Fantasy managers should expect Kamara to miss at least one game, which means that rookie Devin Neal would be in line for lead-back duties in a strong matchup in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins. Kamara has been a major disappointment for fantasy managers in 2025 in a struggling Saints offense. He had only three carries for 11 yards and caught both his targets for four yards on Sunday before leaving early. Neal finished with seven carries for 18 yards and caught five of seven targets for 43 yards through the air. Taysom Hill had a team-high 10 carries for 17 yards and will also be much more involved in the backfield for the Saints if Kamara misses time going forward.

Michael Wilson has Double-Digit Catches, Over 100 Yards for Second Straight Week
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson has immediately become a legitimate contributor for the Cardinals and fantasy managers in the last two games with Marvin Harrison Jr. out following an appendectomy. For the second straight week, Wilson had double-digit receptions (10) and over 100 yards (118) on a team-15 targets in the team's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Week 12. Last week, the 25-year-old caught 15 of his 18 targets for 185 yards. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has latched onto Wilson as his top target with Harrison sidelined, making him a popular waiver-wire pickup last week. If Wilson is still available in your league, he needs to be scooped up immediately. It's unclear if Harrison will be ready to return in Week 13 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but even if he does come back, Wilson should remain involved in a fantastic matchup against a Bucs defense that has given up tons of yardage the last few weeks through the air.

Baker Mayfield Doubtful to Return on Sunday Night With Shoulder Injury
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is doubtful to return to Sunday night's contest against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium due to a left (non-throwing) shoulder injury, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Mayfield injured his left shoulder near the end of the first half of Week 12 and is unlikely to return in the second half. The 30-year-old veteran went 9-for-19 passing for 41 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the first half, adding 19 rushing yards on four carries. Mayfield's second interception came on a Hail Mary attempt with time expiring in the second quarter. The Bucs were trailing 31-7 going into the second half, which could play into Tampa's decision to sit Mayfield for the entire second half. Teddy Bridgewater will take over the rest of the way. As of now, it's unclear if Mayfield's shoulder injury is serious enough to put him in danger of missing the Week 13 game against the Arizona Cardinals. UPDATE: Mayfield was seen with his left arm in a sling on the sideline in the second half.

Darnell Mooney Leads Falcons in Receiving, Scores First Touchdown of the Year
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney made an immediate impact with Drake London (knee) out in the team's Week 12 win over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday. Although Mooney only had three targets in the 24-10 victory on the road, he made his three receptions count, leading the team with 74 receiving yards and finding the end zone for the first time in 2025. The 28-year-old's 74 yards were also a season high. Efficiency could be a problem going forward with quarterback Kirk Cousins taking over for the injured Michael Penix Jr. (knee) for the rest of the year, but Mooney could have more opportunities as Atlanta's WR1 with London dealing with a PCL sprain. London is considered week-to-week and could miss the team's Week 13 contest against the New York Jets. Coming into Sunday's game, Mooney had exactly one catch in three of the last four contests. However, he'll be in play again next week as a WR4/flex in fantasy if London misses a second straight game.

Kenneth Gainwell Tops 100 Scrimmage Yards for Second Straight Game in Week 12
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kenneth Gainwell had his second straight big game in his team's 31-28 Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears, recording 10 carries for 92 yards and six receptions for 30 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old has emerged as a featured player in the Pittsburgh passing game in recent weeks, recording 13 receptions on 14 targets over the last two games. Notably, fellow Steelers running back Jaylen Warren did not earn a target in Week 12. Gainwell also out-gained Warren 92 yards to 68 yards on the ground, despite logging eight fewer carries. While Pittsburgh is likely to continue featuring both backs, Gainwell may be eating into Warren's playing time with his recent performance. For the season, Gainwell is now averaging over five yards per touch. He's worthy of flex consideration for fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Dylan Sampson Records Long Catch-and-Run Touchdown in Week 12 Win
Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson recorded 81 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on nine touches in his team's 24-10 Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 21-year-old delivered one of the biggest plays of the game in the fourth quarter when he took a short completion from Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders and turned it into a 66-yard catch-and-run touchdown. Sampson has provided the majority of his production this season in the passing game. Across 11 games, he's recorded 23 catches for 185 yards and two touchdowns on 27 targets. Fellow Browns rookie running back Quinshon Judkins remains the early-down rushing workhorse in Cleveland, limiting Sampson's upside. However, he's flashed upside as a pass-catching back that could keep him on deep-league radars down the stretch of the fantasy season. Cleveland will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13.
