Across the first 11 games of his NFL career, Detroit Lions rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) has hauled in four catches for 65 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets. He's also been limited in practice this week by a hand injury and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. However, if TeSlaa is active in Week 13, he could see a sizable increase in playing time and target share. Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out, and the Lions will also be without top pass-catching tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck). Still, Green Bay is a very difficult matchup for opposing pass games. Through 12 weeks, the Packers are allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Even with the projected boost in snap share, TeSlaa should remain off fantasy radars in Week 13.

Detroit Lions kicker Jake Bates was one of the heroes of his team's Week 12 win over the New York Giants, bending in a 59-yard field goal to send the game to overtime. After a relatively shaky start to the season, Bates has now made six straight field goal attempts over his last three games. He'll have a second straight game in the friendly confines of Ford Field in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. For his career, Bates is averaging 8.6 points per game at home, compared to 7.4 on the road. If there's one concern for Bates in Week 13, it's Green Bay's prowess as a scoring defense. The Packers have held three of their last four opponents to 16 points or fewer and held the Lions to 13 points in the first matchup between the two teams this season in Week 1. Still, Bates profiles as a solid starting kicker option for fantasy managers in Week 13.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had a brutal showing in Week 12 against the New York Giants, recording zero receptions on three targets. The 24-year-old is one of the most difficult players for fantasy managers to predict. He's recorded at least 66 receiving yards and a touchdown in four out of his last six games, but the two contests where he did not reach those marks were both zero-catch performances. Williams and the Lions now get a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, the Packers defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Williams struggled against Green Bay in his first matchup against them back in Week 1, recording four catches for 23 yards on five targets. However, the Lions will be without wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) and top tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13, which could mean more targets for Williams. He profiles as a boom-bust, low-end fantasy WR2 in against Green Bay.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins has seen at least seven targets in three straight games, cracking double-digit fantasy points in half-PPR formats twice in that stretch while finishing no lower than WR28. With that recent success coming on the receiving end of passes from Davis Mills, it remains to be seen if Higgins can maintain the same level of success following the return of quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion), who continues to work through the league's concussion protocol and was a full participant at Wednesday's practice. Higgins, however, topped a 13% target share in two of Stroud's last three fully healthy games, and the Texans face a Colts defense in Week 13 that has given up the fifth most fantasy points above expectation to the wide receiver position. With Higgins finding the endzone in three of his last five games, he has earned flex consideration regardless of who is under center.

Since the firing of head coach Brian Callahan following a 1-5 start, Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike has been on a 17-game pace of 65 receptions for 768 yards and seven touchdowns. He has also added two punt return touchdowns in that time while looking explosive anytime he's had the ball in his hands. While most fantasy leagues do not reward players for punt or kick return yardage, Dike is currently on pace to set the NFL record for all-purpose yards in a single season. While the Tennessee offense is still not one that demands its players be started, number one overall pick Cam Ward has shown clear signs of improvement of late and a growing cohesion with his young pass catchers. In deeper leagues, Dike has played his way into flex consideration, and he faces a league-average Jaguars pass defense in Week 13.

Across 11 games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has hauled in 75 receptions for 884 yards and nine touchdowns on 107 targets. Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been absolutely force-feeding St. Brown the football in recent weeks, as the star wideout has been targeted at least 12 times in three out of Detroit's last four games. The Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 13 against a Green Bay Packers defense that is currently allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. Green Bay held St. Brown to just four catches for 45 yards on six targets in the first matchup between these two teams this season in Week 1. The usually sure-handed St. Brown has also struggled with drops this season, posting a career-high 6.5% drop rate. However, Detroit will be without tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) as well as wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) in Week 13, which should only further funnel targets to St. Brown. The 26-year-old profiles as a must-start fantasy wide receiver against Green Bay.

In recent weeks, Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery has seemingly faded into a secondary role in his team's offense. The 28-year-old has failed to score a touchdown in five out of his last six games, and he's totaled just 74 scrimmage yards on 15 touches over the last two weeks. A tough Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day seems like an unlikely spot for Montgomery to break out of his slump. Entering Week 13, Green Bay has allowed the sixth-fewest yards per carry (3.9) and rushing touchdowns (eight) in the NFL. In Detroit's first matchup with the Packers in Week 1, Montgomery recorded just 43 scrimmage yards on 15 touches. The Lions will also be shorthanded on their offensive line in Week 13 as both left guard Christian Mahogany (leg) and center Graham Glasgow (knee) are out. Montgomery profiles as a low-end flex option for fantasy managers against the Packers.

Since returning to practice before the team's Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has been a limited participant in all reported practices, including Wednesday's first session of the week in preparation for a Week 13 matchup with the Buccaneers. Benson has not played since a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks in which he injured his meniscus, requiring in-season surgery. In his absence, the Cardinals have gotten contributions from Bam Knight, Michael Carter, and Emari Demercado, though Knight and Demercado also began the week as limited practice participants, and none of the committee members have carved out a particularly inspiring role from a fantasy perspective. After losing James Conner (foot) to a gruesome Week 3 injury, the Cardinals' short-lived plan was to turn the entire backfield over to Benson. Now, as he nears a return, the plan may still be in place. While managers with the luxury of taking a wait-and-see approach should be in no hurry to force Benson back into their lineup following a prolonged absence, those desperately fighting for a playoff berth may be forced to start him as soon as he is made available.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs carried his team to an overtime victory over the New York Giants in Week 12, recording 264 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 26 touches. Gibbs has been highly productive as both a rusher and receiver since Lions head coach Dan Campbell took over as the team's play-caller in Week 10, amassing 582 scrimmage yards and six touchdowns on 42 carries and 19 catches over his last three games. The 23-year-old's job will get more difficult in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers. Through 12 weeks, Green Bay is allowing an average of 3.9 yards per carry and has given up just eight rushing touchdowns. Gibbs had one of the least efficient games of his career against the Packers in Week 1 of the 2025 season, totaling 19 rushing yards on nine carries and 31 receiving yards on 10 receptions. Detroit will also be missing two starters on the interior of its offensive line in Week 13. Still, Gibbs could see heavy work as a receiver and remains a high-upside, must-start fantasy running back against Green Bay.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop continues to roll as the team rides a five-game win streak. In Week 12, Loop made all three of his field goal attempts (31, 35, and 27 yards) as well both of his extra point attempts. He's finished as a K1 in four of his last five games, while the offense has put up at least 20 points in each one. Week 13 brings the Cincinnati Bengals, who have one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop should see plenty of opportunities, especially since the matchups between these AFC North rivals have ended in shootouts in recent seasons. He's projected as a top five fantasy kicker this week, so fantasy managers can deploy him into their lineups again.

From RotoBaller

Entering Week 13, Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards and two touchdowns in three out of his last four games. However, Goff will face a tough matchup in Week 13 against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day. Through 12 weeks, Green Bay's defense is allowing the fewest yards per pass attempt (5.9) in the NFL. In Detroit's first matchup against the Packers in Week 1, Goff completed 31 of 39 pass attempts for 225 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Making matters even more difficult, Goff will be without starting left guard Christian Mahogany (leg), starting center Graham Glasgow (knee), and tight ends Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) in Week 13. Goff profiles as a low-end starting fantasy quarterback in single-QB formats against the Packers.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins hasn't made a fantasy impact since the first two weeks of the season, and Week 12 wasn't any different. Despite seeing a couple more targets over the last few weeks, Hopkins still finished with only two or three fantasy points in half-PPR formats. Despite the fact that he's going up against a porous defense in the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving, he still projects outside the top 60. To make matters worse, Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially set to return, so he'll likely see fewer targets. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for some upside if wide receiver help is needed.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews put up a dud in Week 12 after a three-game stretch where he finished as the TE5, TE9, and TE4 in half-PPR formats. Before that stretch, he only had one other TE1 finish. In Week 13, however, Andrews and the Ravens take on the Cincinnati Bengals. They're ranked last against opposing tight ends in fantasy, and give up an average of 22.80 fantasy points per game to the position. The second-worst team gives up 17.50 on average, so the Bengals have been especially bad. In fact, they're the only team that has given up close to 1,000 receiving yards and more than seven touchdowns (13). So, Andrews holds TE1 value once again.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks (finger) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Burks sat out in Week 11 due to a finger injury and didn't play last week with the team on a bye. He briefly moved into the No. 3 role in the offense due to injuries. However, Noah Brown (knee) and Terry McLaurin (quad) both returned to practice this week. Even if he's healthy, Burks might not be an ideal streaming option for the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Knight dealt with an ankle issue ahead of the two previous contests, but was active in both. Now, it appears he's over the injury, but picked up a knee problem during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight didn't have much success in the backfield over the weekend as he rushed for 12 yards on 10 carries, but salvaged his fantasy value with a touchdown. His fantasy value could be on the downward trend with Trey Benson (knee) preparing to return to the field. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the health of this backfield throughout the week ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Palmer was a bit banged up heading into last Thursday's game versus the Houston Texans. Despite that, Palmer suited up and hauled in two of his four targets for 21 yards in the loss. It appears Palmer is still dealing with an ankle issue right now. Barring any setbacks, Palmer should be ready to go for the Week 13 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 26-year-old isn't an ideal fantasy option when healthy anyway.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. TeSlaa was limited all week ahead of this Thanksgiving matchup. The rookie wideout hasn't seen much of the field this weekend, but that could change this week. Fellow wideout Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out for this game. That means, TeSlaa would take over as the No. 3 wideout if he's able to suit up. That would mean more snaps for TeSlaa, but he hasn't done enough on the field this season to trust as a streaming option.

From RotoBaller

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Raymond made an early exit during Sunday's win over the New York Giants. Sadly, the 31-year-old won't have enough time to get ready before this Thanksgiving matchup. His absence should mean Isaac TeSlaa (hand) takes over as the No. 3 wideout, assuming he's cleared to play. Otherwise, Dominic Lovett might get a look. Neither are viable fantasy options heading into this game.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (foot) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. This seems a bit odd as Waddle wasn't dealing with a foot injury before the bye week. It's unclear when he suffered the injury, but the fact he was limited suggests it's a minor issue. Waddle should be ready to go against the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday just in case something changes.
