Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane is putting together a phenomenal 2025 season, handling 164 carries for 900 yards and five touchdowns to go with 54 receptions (71 targets) for 370 yards and four touchdowns as a receiver. Achane is the RB4 in PPR points per game this season at 21.4, and is currently on a monster four-game run. The star running back has 428 rushing yards with 22 receptions in the past four games, a feat that only Jahmyr Gibbs has matched in any four-game stretch this season. Since 2016, the only running backs to hit those dual-threat marks or better over a four-game span include Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley, and Le'Veon Bell. Achane's ability to break off explosive runs, combined with his elite pass-catching ability, has made him a fantasy cheat code since entering the league in 2023. He will remain an elite RB1 in Week 13 against the New Orleans Saints.

Dynasty | The Bills have signed free agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks. Dynasty Analysis: This one is fun because of the name recognition. Unfortunately, Cooks is more name than game at the moment after ineffective stops with Dallas and New Orleans of late. While he could provide some depth for the Bills, it's highly unlikely he emerges as a viable threat and more likely ends up like Amari Cooper last year - a high profile player who doesn't produce much. Dynasty managers can likely keep looking for late season help.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase will return on Thanksgiving night against the Baltimore Ravens after serving a one-game suspension for spitting on Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey. Chase unsuccessfully appealed the suspension after clearly being caught on video doing the unsportsmanlike act. The superstar wideout is back, however, and will be joined by his star quarterback, Joe Burrow, in a big Week 13 divisional game. In two games against Baltimore last season, Chase caught 10 of 12 targets for 193 yards and two touchdowns, and then 11 of 17 targets for 264 yards and three touchdowns. With fellow star wideout Tee Higgins (concussion) ruled out, Chase should be in for a huge game on Thanksgiving night.

Former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks signed with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and figures to immediately factor into the Bills' plan at wide receiver in some capacity. The Bills have been tinkering with their wide receivers on the roster over the past few weeks, trying to find the right combination on the field. They signed the former Buffalo Bill Gabe Davis back to the roster along with former Kansas City Chiefs wideout Mecole Hardman, but then he was placed on injured reserve with a calf injury. Second-year wideout Keon Coleman has served as a healthy inactive for the past two games for disciplinary reasons. Cooks will have an opportunity to make an impact, although it will take him some time to get up to speed. The veteran hasn't shown much in the past two seasons with the Saints and Cowboys, but he isn't too far removed from a solid 2023 season with the Cowboys, where he recorded 54 receptions for 657 yards and eight touchdowns on eight targets in 16 games. Cooks could be worth monitoring over the next few weeks to see how he is integrated into the offense.

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis has been active for the last five games, mostly contributing on special teams. However, Davis has seen a slight uptick in playing time on offense in the past two games. After playing just 10 snaps total and handling three carries for six yards in his first three games active on gameday, the 26-year-old has played 25 snaps total and rushed seven times for 44 carries in the past two weeks. Davis noticeably has a bit more explosiveness than starter Javonte Williams and adds a useful change-of-pace element to the Cowboys ' backfield. He had three carries for 24 yards in Dallas' comeback win over the Eagles in Week 12, reaching 15+ mph on two of those carries, per Next Gen Stats. Davis looks like the clear handcuff to Williams at the moment and is stashing on benches in 12-team leagues and deeper.

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor performed well in his second start of the season in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens, completing 17 of 28 pass attempts for 222 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while adding five carries for 19 yards. Taylor performed well enough against his former team to remain the Jets starter moving forward. His 7.9 yards per attempt ranked eighth among quarterbacks, and his 71.3 QBR was the fifth-best mark in Week 12. The 36-year-old was a noticeable improvement over Fields for at least this game, with one of their trade deadline acquisitions, John Metchie III, posting a career high six catches for 65 yards and a touchdown. Still, the ceiling isn't high for Taylor in fantasy, and he's best viewed as a QB2/QB3 for Week 13 against the Atlanta Falcons.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. recorded two catches for25 scoreless yards in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. While the result was disappointing, the silver lining was that with five targets, the 25-year-old led the team in that statistic. The same was true the last time Kirk Cousins was the starter in Week 8 against the Dolphins, a game that Drake London (knee) also missed as he did on Sunday. It's not clear whether or not London will be back in Week 13, but if he were to miss the contest, Pitts could be the frontrunner for targets again, so it will be imperativeto watch the injury reports this week. Cousins may spreadthe ball around a bit more than Michael Penix Jr. did, though, which couldlimit the production of the receiving corps, including Pitts. The 6-foot-6 tight end has just one touchdown on the season, so even fewer targets could push him into TE2 territory for Week 13's matchup with the Jets, a defense that is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to tight ends.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 19 receiving yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old secured Mason Rudolph's lone passing score, a three-yard strike in the fourth quarter. Though Freiermuth ranks second on the Steelers in receiving yards and touchdowns, he's fifth in targets, trailing DK Metcalf (ankle), Kenneth Gainwell, Calvin Austin III, and Jonnu Smith. Even with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) expected back in Week 13, Freiermuth can't be trusted for fantasy purposes, especially against a Buffalo Bills defense that has shut down opposing tight ends this season.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hauled in four of his five targets for 36 yards in a 31-28 loss to the Chicago Bears. Austin appeared to be losing playing time to Roman Wilson in Week 11, but reclaimed a larger role in Week 12 and paced all Steelers in receiving yards. It's possible he operated as the WR2 due to his prior experience with quarterback Mason Rudolph, who started in place of Aaron Rodgers (wrist) and previously played alongside Austin in 2023. That said, fantasy managers shouldn't read too much into this change. Pittsburgh's wide receiver usage remains unsettled, and Austin is best left on watch lists as we monitor how the rotation shakes out heading into a Week 13 matchup with the Buffalo Bills.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V caught two of his three targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Saints. With Drake London (knee) and Michael Penix Jr. (knee) both missing this game, the offense looked a bit different, and the volume was more spread out, with Charlie Woerner and Dylan Drummond each earning three targets as well, the first targets of the season for Drummond. If London ends up missing another week, Sills could end up being a low-end WR/Flex flier again for desperate managers in deeper leagues. With a slight height advantage at 6-foot-3 over the other wide receivers who saw action this past weekend, perhaps the 29-year-old could see another red zone look or two against the Jets in Week 13 if London were out, a defense that is bottom-third in terms of fantasy points allowed to the wide receiver position.

After spending the first 11 weeks of the 2025 season on the Tennessee Titans' practice squad, rookie wide receiver Xavier Restrepo finally made his NFL debut in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 23-year-old earned six targets from Titans quarterback Cameron Ward and hauled in two receptions for 26 yards. Restrepo's path to game action was aided by injuries to Titans wideouts Calvin Ridley (leg) and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring). Ridley will miss the rest of the season, while Ayomanor could return as soon as Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, if Ayomanor remains sidelined, Restrepo could have another chance to prove himself against Jacksonville. While fantasy managers will need Restrepo to play more than the 19 offensive snaps he played in Week 12, in some ways, it's encouraging that he was able to log six targets despite the limited playing time. Restrepo can't be trusted as a fantasy starter yet, but he could be worth monitoring for deep-league fantasy managers if the wide receiver injuries in Tennessee persist.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson failed to secure either of his targets in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. After logging a 57% snap share in Week 11, the second-year pro took the field for just 28% of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps. Meanwhile, Calvin Austin III, whose playing time dipped the week prior, led the team in receiving with only 36 yards. There is still hope for Wilson down the stretch since no one in the Steelers' receiving corps has established consistent production. However, he's off the fantasy radar in redraft formats heading into a Week 13 meeting with the Buffalo Bills.

Across 11 games this season, Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo has recorded 35 receptions for 377 yards on 46 targets. While Okonkwo's numbers don't jump off the page, the one thing he has provided is a stable floor. The 26-year-old has recorded at least three catches and 35 receiving yards in seven out of 11 outings, including at least 40 receiving yards in three out of his last four games. Okonkwo and rookie Gunnar Helm are splitting tight end reps in Tennessee, but Okonkwo has played at least 60% of the Titans' offensive snaps in every game but one so far this season. Okonkwo's upside is capped by the playing time split and Tennessee's team-wide offensive struggles. However, he could have some appeal as a deep-league streaming option for fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren turned 18 carries into 68 yards and a touchdown in a Week 12 loss to the Chicago Bears. For the first time this season, he was not targeted in the passing game. Backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell, on the other hand, hauled in all six of his targets and added 92 rushing yards. This marked the second straight week in which Gainwell outproduced Warren for fantasy purposes, though it's important to remember that Warren suffered an ankle injury in Week 11. It will be interesting to see how the two backs are deployed on Sunday against the Buffalo Bills, who have struggled to stop the run all season. Being another week removed from the injury should only benefit Warren, so fantasy managers have no reason to panic just yet.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm had one of the most productive games of his young career in Week 12 against the Seattle Seahawks, recording six catches for 51 yards on seven targets. Across 11 games this season, the 23-year-old has hauled in 20 receptions for 267 yards and one touchdown on 37 targets. Encouragingly, Helm's role in the offense has grown in recent weeks, as he's been targeted 12 times over his last two outings. Helm continues to split snaps with Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo, but both players were on the field for exactly 48 offensive snaps in Week 12. With Tennessee leaning more heavily on two-tight end sets since their Week 10 bye, Helm could be an under-the-radar breakout candidate down the stretch of the season. At the very least, Helm is a player to monitor for deep-league fantasy managers heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Across 10 games this season, Denver Broncos running back Tyler Badie has recorded 96 scrimmage yards on 13 total touches. Badie has spent most of the 2025 season in Denver's RB3 role behind J.K. Dobbins (foot) and R.J. Harvey. However, Dobbins is now out for the season after undergoing foot surgery, opening up an opportunity in the Broncos' backfield. In the team's first game without Dobbins in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Badie played just eight offensive snaps and recorded just one touch, a zero-yard reception. Still, alongside running back Jaleel McLaughlin, Badie should remain in the mix for RB2 snaps behind Harvey. In the deepest of fantasy leagues, Badie could be worth a look on the waiver wire heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee) suffered an MCL sprain during his team's Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons and may now be facing missed time. With fellow Saints back Kendre Miller (knee) out for the season, there is a clear opportunity for playing time in the New Orleans backfield. Rookie sixth-rounder Devin Neal looks like the most likely candidate to step in as the Saints' lead back if Kamara misses time. However, Audric Estime is another running back who could see a significantly increased role. A fifth-round pick in the 2024 draft by the Denver Broncos, Estime recorded 310 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 76 carries across 13 games with Denver as a rookie. He was released by the Broncos before the start of the 2025 season and has spent most of the year on the Saints' practice squad. Now on New Orleans' active roster, Estime could get his chance to re-establish his NFL career. He could be a player to target on the waiver wire in deep fantasy leagues ahead of the Saints' Week 13 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. However, the team's official injury report lists Bateman as a limited participant for the second straight day. The 25-year-old has missed his team's last two games due to an ankle injury and does not appear certain to make his return for Baltimore's Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving night. Across nine games this season, Bateman has recorded 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets. If he remains sidelined on Thursday, veteran Ravens wideout DeAndre Hopkins would be the most likely beneficiary from a playing time perspective. Regardless of whether Bateman is active or not, Baltimore WR1 Zay Flowers remains the only Ravens wide receiver who should be on fantasy radars in Week 13.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (groin) was limited in Tuesday's practice due to a groin injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Barkley originally tweaked his groin in Week 8 against the New York Giants, but he hasn't missed any time because of it. The Eagles are likely just managing the injury and being cautious on a short week with the team facing the Chicago Bears on Black Friday in Week 13. Barkley still has two more days to return to a full practice, so he could be removed from the final injury report by Thursday. The 28-year-old has disappointed in 2025 in comparison to his monster 2024 campaign. Barkley had only 10 carries for 22 yards in the Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys after seeing 20-plus carries in each of the previous two games. He salvaged his fantasy line, though, with a season-high seven catches for 52 yards on eight targets. If Barkley were to miss Friday's game, Tank Bigsby would likely see most of Philly's backfield touches.

The Green Bay Packers are not ruling out wide receiver Jayden Reed (foot, shoulder) from coming off Injured Reserve to play on Thursday in the Thanksgiving Day game against the division-rival Detroit Lions at Ford Field, according to ESPN's Rob Demovsky. "You never know... You'll find out Thursday," head coach Matt LaFleur said when asked if Reed could play on Thursday, given the lack of practice time. Reed practiced for the first time last Friday since breaking his collarbone in Week 2. He was limited on Friday and on Monday and Tuesday of this week, putting his status up in the air for Week 13. In addition to a broken collarbone, the third-year pass-catcher is recovering from surgery to fix a fractured foot. At the very least, fantasy managers should stash Reed, who has scored 18 total touchdowns in 35 career games. Green Bay will likely wait to activate him for a Week 14 contest against the Bears. If he is active on Thursday, his reps will most likely be limited, making him a fade candidate in fantasy.
