Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers gave fantasy managers a goose egg during last week's game against the Houston Texans. That was a tough blow to fantasy managers who thought Shavers would be a viable option after posting a 90-yard performance in Week 11. Outside of his outburst against Tampa Bay, Shavers has been a non-factor in the offense all season long. The 26-year-old wasn't targeted at all during last week's game against Houston. It seems safe for fantasy managers in redraft formats to move on from Shavers and consider his 90-yard performance a fluke.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson turned in one of his team's best plays in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders when he hauled in a 66-yard touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders in the fourth quarter. While he hasn't seen a consistent workload this season, Sampson has shown chops in the passing game, catching 23 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. In Week 13, Sampson will look to stay hot at home against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs. While not a safe fantasy play, Sampson sets up as an RB5 with some flex appeal for Week 13's matchup.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has recorded exactly four receptions in four games in a row and continues to be a solid contributor in his age-35 season. Since recording zero receptions in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time in a game since 2014, Ertz has collected 25 receptions (36 targets) for 238 yards and two touchdowns. His 25 receptions are tied for the 12th most among tight ends during that span. The veteran hasn't found the end zone since Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, and remains a lower-ceiling fantasy option due to his lack of explosiveness, but he has a stable floor as a reliable option in Washington's passing attack. Ertz has a tough matchup in Week 13 against an elite Denver Broncos defense and ranks as RotoBaller's TE17 in PPR leagues.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his second career start in a Week 13 home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Sanders looked decent in Week 12's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 11 of his 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He will look to build upon that encouraging debut in Week 13 against a 49ers defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. While Sanders looked more competent than Dillon Gabriel under center, he is still tough to trust in single-quarterback fantasy leagues and is best left on the bench for Week 13's matchup.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb continues to play a reduced role in the team's backfield, which keeps him from being a good fantasy play in most formats this week. Chubb has only totaled 14 rushing attempts in his last three games for a total of 80 yards, along with two catches for only four receiving yards. He has played under 30% of his team's offensive snaps in each of his last three weeks as well, as the team leans more heavily on rookie Woody Marks. Chubb's fantasy value is extremely touchdown-dependent, which is not usually a good thing since he hasn't found the end zone since Week 5 against the Ravens. He's only the RB57 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been unable to find much success over the last few weeks. Jeudy has been held to 39 receiving yards or fewer in four of his last five games. The hope was that Jeudy would see increased value with Shedeur Sanders under center. That wasn't the case as Jeudy hauled in one of his three targets for 39 yards last week. It won't get any easier for Jeudy with a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 26-year-old should be viewed as a low-end flex option in deep leagues.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a hip injury, but was upgraded to full on Friday and heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation. Lane suffered the injury during Washington's Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but had the bye week to recover and is good to go for Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder has been forced into more action on offense than expected this season with Washington being ravaged by injury at wide receiver. The speedy rookie has recorded a reception in all 11 games this season, totaling 16 catches for 225 yards on 30 targets. He had the longest catch of his career with a 41-yard gain on a deep ball from Marcus Mariota in Week 10 against the Lions. However, he figures to slide back into a depth role in Week 13 against the Broncos with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) both returning.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a very quiet week last week against the Bills, catching three passes for 55 yards in his team's big upset victory. He only had three targets, which was a sharp drop-off after double-digit targets in each of his previous four games. This week, he'll get starting QB C.J. Stroud back from a concussion, which raises his ceiling and gives the entire offense more upside than with Davis Mills. Collins has totaled 52 catches for just under 700 yards in 10 games, and he'll look to take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Colts, who rank in the top 10 this season in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Collins has a very high ceiling, but Stroud could be a little rusty after three weeks off, so there are also some risk factors to consider. He's the No. 11 WR in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a starter in almost all formats, even though he isn't quite a top-10 option at the position after last week's down game and with Stroud ramping back up.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins turned in a strong effort in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing for two touchdowns, although he finished with just 47 yards on 16 carries. Judkins will look to find the end zone again in Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been tough against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far this season. Judkins has seven touchdowns in 10 games for the Browns this season but has seen his ceiling capped by a scuffling offense. He sets up as a low-end RB2 in Week 13.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet led the team in receiving on a day in which both running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai went over 100 rushing yards apiece with two rushing touchdowns in a 24-15 win over the hosting Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Kmet caught all three of his targets on the day for only 36 yards and his second touchdown of the year. Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams only threw for 154 yards as the Bears leaned heavily on the run against Philly. The 26-year-old Kmet's touchdown reception came on a 28-yard strike for the team's only passing TD of the game. It was nice to see Kmet find the end zone again, but rookie first-rounder Colston Loveland (who had three catches for 28 yards in the game) remains the more attractive upside stash in most fantasy leagues for the rest of the season. Kmet has more than one catch in just two of the last seven games.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks will look to continue establishing himself as the team's top backfield option this week, as the Texans roll into Indianapolis to face the division-leading Colts. Marks has double-digit carries in six straight weeks since the team's bye week, and he had 74 yards on his 16 carries last week against the Bills, while playing 69% of the team's offensive snaps. He didn't get into the end zone in that matchup, but he has four touchdowns on the season to go with his 422 rushing yards and 185 receiving yards. He has taken on more work over the last few weeks while Nick Chubb's role has decreased. This week against the Colts, Marks is the RB24 in RotoBaller's rankings, making him a low-end RB2 or strong flex play in this road matchup.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was unable to turn the team's offensive woes around in their 24-15 loss to the visiting Chicago Bears on Black Friday, going 19-for-34 passing for 230 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. Hurts ran the ball four times for 31 yards and also lost a fumble on a tush push. He was not sacked at all in the game. The 27-year-old only threw for 57 yards in the first half against Chicago, but he was able to pick things up after halftime, with both of his touchdown passes going to receiver A.J. Brown -- one on a 33-yard strike. The Eagles' offense has left a lot to be desired for everyone involved in 2025. However, it could be worse for Hurts' fantasy managers, as he has thrown for three touchdowns and run two in over the last two games. The two-time Pro Bowler will take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night in Week 14.

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) has cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and will be ready to rejoin his team this week in a huge road game against the Colts. Stroud has missed the last three games since departing in Week 9 with a concussion against the Broncos. Davis Mills led the team to three straight wins, and they're 6-5, sitting on the edge of playoff contention. Stroud threw for 1,702 yards in his eight games with 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. In his last full game, he looked very effective with 318 passing yards and two touchdowns against the 49ers. He was inconsistent in some of his early games this season and took some time to adjust to new offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system. However, he started to show off his upside just before his concussion, and he'll look to pick up where he left off in this important matchup on Sunday. He's the No. 20 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, making him a low-end QB2 for this week against the Colts.

Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai continues to prove that he deserves more run next to D'Andre Swift in the team's backfield. In the Bears' 24-15 win over the hosting Philadelphia Eagles on Black Friday, Monangai dominated on the ground and led the team with 22 rushing attempts for 130 yards and a touchdown. The 23-year-old was unable to haul in his only target in the passing game. The only other time that the seventh-rounder had 20-plus carries in 2025 was back on Nov. 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals when Swift was sidelined due to injury. Swift was no slouch on Friday, either, rushing 18 times for 125 yards and a TD of his own. Monangai's fantasy stock is definitely on the rise, but the volume he saw on Friday should be considered an outlier. He'll be more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex going into a tough Week 14 matchup against the division-rival Green Bay Packers.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos. Burks missed Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins after undergoing surgery on a broken finger suffered in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. He reportedly got his finger stuck in the cornerback's facemask and broke it in half, but still made the catch on the play. The former first-round pick in 2022 has been riddled by injuries for most of his career in the NFL, but he has an opportunity to stick in Washington. Burks was impressive in limited action against the Lions in Week 10, playing 38.9% of the snaps and hauling in all three of his targets for 58 yards. His role in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos is to be determined with No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returning, but Burks isn't a fantasy-relevant player right now regardless.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is on a heater. After publicly complaining about his role in what has been a lackluster offense in 2025, Brown has now gone over 100 yards receiving in each of the last two games while scoring three times. In the team's 24-15 loss to the visiting Chicago Bears on Black Friday, the 28-year-old caught a season-high 10 passes on 12 targets (also a season high) for a season-high 132 yards and two touchdowns. Philly's offense didn't look great once again outside of Brown's big game against Chicago. For the time being, he has returned to the WR1 role in Philly over DeVonta Smith, but that could easily change heading into the team's Week 14 tilt on the road on Monday Night Football against the Chargers. Fantasy managers have to like the way things are trending with Brown at the moment, though, as we get closer to the fantasy postseason.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. bounced back with one of his best performances of the season in Week 11 against the Miami Dolphins, hauling in seven of his eight targets for 74 yards and a touchdown, his most yards in a game since Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Samuel has now scored in back-to-back weeks, but faces a tough matchup out of Washington's Week 12 bye against a stingy Denver Broncos defense. The former San Francisco 49er will have more competition for targets in Week 13 with No. 1 wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) returning from a multi-game absence, as well as Treyon Burks (finger) after missing Week 11 against Miami. Samuel has a safe floor for receptions due to his usage on manufactured touches, recording at least four receptions in eight of 10 games played this season. He ranks as more of a WR3 in Week 13 against a Denver defense that has allowed the fewest PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers this season.

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn returned from a two-week absence due to a quad injury last week and looked solid in his team's win over the Bills. This week, he'll take on the Colts indoors at Lucas Oil Stadium in a divisional contest. Against the Bills, he made all three of his field goal attempts with a long of 43 yards, along with a pair of extra points. In each of his last six games, the 31-year-old from Hawaii has now made multiple field goals, including 12 total field goals in his last three games. For the season, he is 25-for-28 on field goal attempts, including 5-for-8 from at least 50 yards. He's also made 14 extra points in his nine contests this season. This week, he's the No. 9 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings.

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton (hamstring) was listed as limited in practice for the second straight day on Friday due to a hamstring injury, according to the team's official website. Slayton missed the Week 11 game due to a hamstring injury, but he returned in last week's overtime loss to the Detroit Lions to catch one of his two targets for only 23 yards. The 28-year-old could draw a questionable tag going into Monday night's game against the New England Patriots unless he practices in full on Saturday. Slayton will have a higher fantasy ceiling if he's active on Monday with rookie first-round quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) returning to action, although he's been the clear No. 2 in New York in 2025 behind target hog Wan'Dale Robinson. Slayton has been a low-ceiling fantasy wideout this year and is still searching for his first touchdown. He has gone over 50 receiving yards in a game just three times.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) has been cleared from the injury report and will play in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. McLaurin missed four games after initially injuring his quad in Week 3 against the Las Vegas Raiders, then reaggravated the injury in Week 8 versus the Kansas City Chiefs and hasn't played since. The Ohio State product was a full participant in Thursday's practice before getting a rest day on Friday. McLaurin looked great in the limited number of snaps he played against the Chiefs, catching three of his four targets for 54 yards and a touchdown. He'll provide a major lift to a Washington offense that has been decimated by injuries and will be without second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the third straight game. It's a tough matchup for McLaurin to return for, as the Broncos will be getting star cornerback Patrick Surtain II (pectoral) back on Sunday night. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR39 in PPR leagues for Week 13.
