New York Jets running back Kene Nwangwu has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. This is noteworthy because lead back Breece Hall (knee) is currently considered questionable for this game. The move to bring up Nwangwu could mean that Hall is headed in the wrong direction. If Hall sits, Braelon Allen would become the lead back with Isaiah Davis likely mixed in as well. Nwangwu probably wouldn't see any snaps, but is coming up as added insurance in the backfield.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston will head on the road to take on the Denver Broncos in Week 13's Monday night game. Winston will look to build upon an exciting underdog win over the Pittsburgh Steelers back in Week 12's Thursday night game. The Broncos represent a tough matchup for Winston as they are allowing the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing signal-callers this season. Winston has played well for the Browns this season but he will be without one of his top targets as Cedric Tillman (concussion) will not take the field on Monday night. Fantasy managers should treat Winston as a low-end QB2 heading into Week 13.

New York Jets offensive tackle Tyron Smith (neck) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. This doesn't come as a surprise given interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich hinted at this move earlier in the week. The Jets don't appear to be going anywhere this season and they aren't going to rush the veteran tackle back to the field. The expectation is that Olu Fashanu will continue getting a look at left tackle down the stretch of the season. The Jets did use the No. 11 pick on Fashanu, so they might as well see what they have in him.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos. Tillman exited last week's game with a concussion and is still experiencing symptoms this week. He hasn't been able to practice at all this week, which will result in him missing Monday's game. Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore should see an increased workload with Tillman unavailable. Fantasy managers might be able to count on Jeudy as a WR2 for this upcoming contest.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Riley Patterson has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Falcons have brought up Patterson as insurance with Younghoe Koo (hip) still banged up heading into Sunday. Patterson has only appeared in one game this season as he knocked down three extra point attempts with the New York Jets in Week 9. He has bounced around a bit since joining the league as an undrafted free agent in 2021. Patterson could be worth a look as a possible streaming option if Patterson is unable to play.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos wide receiver Josh Reynolds (finger) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Reynolds has been a full participant in practice this week, but remains on the injured reserve on Saturday. The fact he hasn't been activated yet is probably why he's getting a questionable tag heading into this game. Reynolds has not played since Week 5 after being the victim of a shooting. He hasn't done much on the field when healthy this season, so fantasy managers can probably look elsewhere for help ahead of Monday's game.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Charlie Kolar (arm) has been placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. As expected, Kolar is going to miss significant time after breaking his arm during last week's win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Kolar has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, but we'll wait and see how he progresses. The absence of Kolar won't mean too much for this offense going forward. It should mean a few more snaps for Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews down the stretch of the season, but should only give some a slight uptick in value.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (biceps) has been activated from the injured reserve on Saturday. Milano is set to make his season debut against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. This will be his first time taking the field in over a year. He has been a full participant in practice all week, but it remains uncertain if Milano will be on a snap count during his first game back. Regardless, Milano will be an upgrade for this defensive unit that is already playing surprisingly well this season. Fantasy managers looking for a streaming option for this weekend might want to consider using the Bills.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie running back Kimani Vidal should be back on the field in a Week 13 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Vidal has been inactive since Week 9, but with J.K. Dobbins (knee) heading to IR, Vidal should at least play a small role going forward. He has the talent to overtake the veterans currently ahead of him, Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins. The Chargers will probably give the reins to Edwards this week, but Vidal is worth stashing for the fantasy playoffs.

Dynasty | Cardinals running back James Conner has signed a two-year contract extension. Dynasty Analysis: Conner's $9.5 million average annual salary will make him the seventh-highest-paid running back by annual value and the contract will keep him in Arizona through the 2026 season. This all but ensures Conner will be seen as the starter for the next two seasons, making Trey Benson managers more than a little disappointed. As for Conner, his dynasty value as a RB2 looks about as secure as it can get as he tries to churn out two more solid fantasy seasons.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Cardinals running back Trey Benson will remain a backup following the contract extension for James Conner. Dynasty Analysis: Many thought Benson would slide into the starter's role next year with Conner hitting free agency, but it seems the Cardinals had other plans. It's a significant development as Benson looks like no more than a handcuff for at least one more season and perhaps longer. He's been effective in stretches this season, but is being out-touched nearly 3:1 by Conner on the year and much of his work has come in games that have already been decided one way or another. His dynasty value is going to slide into "buy low" territory into the off-season now.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (foot) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Patriots. The 24-year-old is dealing with a foot injury and missed practice during the week as a result. However, the team is expected to have him on the field, which is great news, considering Josh Downs (shoulder) won't be available. Without Downs, Pierce will see an increase in fantasy potential, giving him flex value in all fantasy formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) remains questionable for Sunday's matchup versus the Houston Texans. The team already expects the signal-caller to return from a two-game absence. However, according to NFL media's Ian Rapoport, Lawrence is "adamant" he'll be back, which adds further clarity to the situation. Of course, anything can happen, meaning fantasy managers shouldn't dismiss the possibility of seeing Mac Jones under center. But if Lawrence is officially on the field in Week 13, he has some value for those participating in multi-QB fantasy formats. His expected presence is also good news for Brian Thomas Jr. and Evan Engram.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed wide receiver Parris Campbell to the active roster heading into Sunday's matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. The 27-year-old has appeared in only four games this season, amassing six catches for 30 yards and a touchdown. Production like that won't earn him a place in most fantasy lineups. However, Campbell's elevation could mean DeVonta Smith (hamstring) may not be available. If that's the case, Campbell's fantasy stock could increase, although not by much. Instead, Smith's absence should mean more targets for A.J. Brown, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley.

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, the Buffalo Bills elevated quarterback Mike White from the practice squad to the main roster heading into Sunday night's meeting with the 49ers. Josh Allen is healthy. However, with heavy snow expected in Buffalo, the team is likely playing it safe by bolstering depth at the quarterback spot. Still, White likely won't get on the field, considering Mitchell Trubisky is next in line on the depth chart in the event Allen is pulled from the game.

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Saturday. The veteran has played relatively well this season, amassing 355 yards and four touchdowns off 74 carries, adding 33 catches for 346 yards. While he hasn't been as productive as when he was with the Chargers, his absence is an issue for the Commanders, especially with Brian Robinson Jr. banged up throughout the 2024-25 campaign. Without Ekeler, Robinson should see more involvement in the offense on Sunday versus the Titans and beyond. Jeremy McNichols will also have a chance to get more involved, although his presence on fantasy rosters should be only for insurance purposes, at least until he proves he has fantasy value.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III has only 20 catches for 354 yards and three touchdowns this season. However, two of those scores have come in the last four games. George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth are still the top receiving options in Pittsburgh. Yet, Austin has some value in the deepest of fantasy leagues against a horrendous Bengals defense on Sunday. Of course, he's a very risky fantasy option, and his success from a production standpoint is contingent on whether he finds the end zone.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) was placed on the Injured Reserve list on Saturday. The 25-year-old has played well in his first season in Los Angeles, totaling 766 yards and eight touchdowns off 158 carries, adding 28 catches for 134 yards. Even better, he had stayed healthy, which was different from his time with the Baltimore Ravens. Unfortunately, Dobbins finds himself back in familiar territory and will get put back on the shelf because of an MCL sprain. Without him, Gus Edwards, who had a touchdown on Monday night against the Ravens, his former team, is at least a flex option for Sunday's matchup with the Falcons, especially since Hassan Haskins may not get much work.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans running back Julius Chestnut has been sparingly involved throughout the 2024-25 campaign. With Tyjae Spears (concussion) sidelined for the Week 12 win over the Houston Texans, Chestnut had a chance to get more involved. However, that didn't happen, with the 24-year-old amassing only one carry for three yards and adding one catch for two yards. Spears is still listed as questionable for the Week 13 encounter with the Washington Commanders, although he's moving in the right direction. But even if Spears doesn't suit up, Chestnut shouldn't be anywhere near a starting fantasy lineup.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Tyler Boyd should be viewed as a desperation flex option in deeper 3WR formats in Week 13 when he faces the Washington Commanders. Last weekend, the veteran wideout enjoyed his best game of the season, catching all six of his targets for a season-high 55 yards. However, during Weeks 6 through 11, Boyd averaged a mere 4.1 PPR points and saw just 2.8 targets per game during this stretch. With Calvin Ridley and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine operating as the No.1 and 2 receivers, Boyd will have trouble finding consistent targets. However, given his impressive showing last weekend, fantasy managers in 14+ team 3WR formats could consider using Boyd as a desperation flex option facing the Commanders, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points this season to opposing wideouts.
