Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White (quadricep) has been ruled out for Week 13 after missing three consecutive practices. White, who has been sidelined since Week 11, has just 213 scrimmage yards and one touchdown through eight games this season. Fellow running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is questionable this week but would draw the start if active. Otherwise, we'll see another week of Ameer Abdullah leading the Las Vegas backfield. Whichever running back starts for the Raiders is worth deploying as an RB3 in fantasy football.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) is questionable to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. He has been limited in practice all week long. Mattison missed last Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos, but his ability to practice in a limited capacity this week does leave the door open for him to suit up against the Chiefs. Fellow running back Zamir White (quadricep) has already been ruled out, so Mattison would essentially have the backfield all to himself if he's healthy enough to play. Otherwise, if Mattison is ruled out, Ameer Abdullah would draw his second consecutive start. Whichever running back starts for the Raiders in Week 13 will be a solid RB3/FLEX play in fantasy football.

The Las Vegas Raiders have officially activated quarterback Aidan O'Connell (thumb) from injured reserve. The team previously confirmed that O'Connell, who was a full participant in practice this week, will start on Friday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old spent the minimum four games on injured reserve and now makes his return for a late-November divisional battle, taking over for Gardner Minshew (collarbone). Fantasy managers should view O'Connell as a high-end QB3. Members of his supporting cast on the fantasy radar include Brock Bowers, Jakobi Meyers, and Alexander Mattison (ankle).

New York Giants quarterback Tommy Devito (forearm) is expected to be inactive for Thursday's game against the Dallas Cowboys, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Drew Lock will start at quarterback in DeVito's absence. The Giants are suddenly onto their third quarterback in three weeks, rotating through Daniel Jones (now with the Minnesota Vikings), DeVito, and Lock. Although there have been numerous conflicting reports about DeVito's injury status, fantasy managers can appreciate that we now have some clarification from Schefter. Assuming Lock is confirmed as the starter, he'll rank as a fantasy QB3 while keeping Malik Nabers and Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the WR2 and RB2 tiers, respectively.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (fibula) has been activated from injured reserve and is expected to play on Friday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Pacheco has been trending in the right direction over the last couple of weeks and is now ready to make his return during Friday's divisional battle. Pacheco should be heavily involved in Week 13, but he might still share some touches with Kareem Hunt and Samaje Perine. From a fantasy perspective, Pacheco ranks as an RB2 versus Las Vegas' soft run defense.

Indianapolis Colts wide receivers Josh Downs (shoulder), Alec Pierce (foot) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) all missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. Downs is fighting an uphill battle to play in Week 13 versus the New England Patriots after injuring his shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Detroit Lions, but the Colts could also be without Pierce and Dulin unless they are able to return to practice on Friday in some capacity. Michael Pittman Jr. (back) remains listed on the injury report, but he's practicing in full this week. If one or both of Downs and/or Pierce sit out against the Pats, Pittman would be in line for a heavy target share, while rookie Adonai Mitchell would also see an increase in usage, putting him in place as a more palatable WR4/flex option in fantasy. Pierce leads the NFL in yards per catch (23.3) and will be a WR4/flex with upside if he's active and Downs is out.

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery (shoulder) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Wednesday. Montgomery has been a major threat this season, tallying 873 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns en route to ranking as this season's overall RB11 in fantasy football. Fantasy managers should confidently start Montgomery, who scored a Week 13 touchdown in each of his first five seasons and will look to extend that streak to six on Thursday against his old team.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Wednesday. St. Brown has nine touchdowns over his last nine games, and he has tallied 71 catches and 747 yards en route to ranking as the overall WR2 in fantasy football this season. He should continue to be started in all fantasy leagues. Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (knee) is officially active for Thursday's game against the Chicago Bears.

Cleveland Browns QB Jameis Winston said he would love to re-sign with the Browns in the offseason.

Fantasy Spin: Winston is the QB14 over the last five weeks (four games), and he has certainly rejuvenated his stock. He'll remain a matchup play in fantasy the rest of the way. He has a tough draw against the Denver Broncos Monday night. Denver is one of the better teams against QBs the last five weeks.

Los Angeles Rams TE Tyler Higbee (knee) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list on Wednesday, Nov. 27.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson enters the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after a quiet Week 12, where he caught all five of his targets for 47 yards in a 30-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Averaging 8.04 FPPG this season, Robinson has been a reliable short-yardage option with 441 yards and two touchdowns on 61 receptions but a modest 7.2 yards per catch. The Cowboys rank 21st against fantasy wide receivers and have allowed 15 passing touchdowns this year, creating opportunities for Robinson to contribute. While Dallas' 18th-ranked pass defense allows 214.9 yards per game, Robinson should stay on the bench for fantasy managers, especially with the question marks at quarterback.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano enters the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys with limited opportunities in his return from an early-season injury. In Week 12's 30-7 loss to Tampa Bay, Gano did not attempt a field goal, marking his second game back since Week 2. This season, he has made three of four field goals (75% accuracy) with a long of 50 yards. While the Cowboys allow the second-most points per game (29), potentially boosting Gano's opportunities, the Giants' offensive struggles could cap his upside. Fantasy managers should temper expectations, as Gano remains a risky option given his limited workload and the Giants' inconsistency in reaching scoring range.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers heads into the Week 13 Thanksgiving matchup against the Dallas Cowboys after leading the team with six receptions for 64 yards on nine targets in a tough Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay. Averaging 17.44 FPPG this season (9th among WRs), Nabers has been a consistent fantasy contributor with 671 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 103 targets. Dallas offers a middling matchup for receivers, ranking 21st against fantasy WRs and allowing 15 passing TDs this season. While their pass defense is 18th overall (214.9 passing yards per game), Nabers called the team out this past week about not getting him the ball enough. The squeaky wheel should get the grease, so look for Nabers to get targets early and often this week. The only question mark is at quarterback, as it may be Tommy Devito or Drew Lock.

From RotoBaller

New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock might make his first start of the 2024 season in Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day, stepping in for an injured Tommy Devito. Lock, who saw limited action this year (four completions on eight attempts for just nine yards), faces a Dallas defense ranked 28th against fantasy quarterbacks, allowing 20.47 FPPG. Despite Lock's limited experience this season, his 2023 campaign with Seattlewhere he posted a 63.2% completion rate, three touchdowns, and 17.22 FPPGshows he has upside in favorable matchups. The Cowboys have given up 15 passing touchdowns and allow 214.7 passing yards per game.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks is not a reliable fantasy option heading into Thursday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The 23-year-old has struggled to separate himself from the other top receivers in Green Bay's offense. He played just 39 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 12 and has just one catch over his last three games. A matchup against the Dolphins, who have allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers, doesn't help his case. Wicks remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues for Week 13.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. enters Week 13 against the Dallas Cowboys looking to rebound after a modest Week 12 showing, where he rushed for 42 yards and added 28 receiving yards on four receptions but lost a costly fumble. Tracy Jr. has been a steady fantasy contributor since taking over in Week 5, averaging 15.2 FPPG (22nd among RBs) with 587 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the season. The Cowboys' defense provides a favorable matchup, ranking 31st against the run and allowing 151 rushing yards and 18 rushing TDs on the year. With Dallas also surrendering the second-most points per game (29) and ranking 29th in fantasy points allowed to running backs, Tracy has strong bounce-back potential.

New York Giants CB Greg Stroman and OL Joshua Miles were elevated from the practice squad to the active roster on Wednesday, Nov. 27, for the Week 13 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.

From TheHuddle

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert is likely headed for a reduced rule in Week 13 now that Brandin Cooks (knee) is healthy and returning to the lineup. Tolbert had previously been operating as the Cowboys' No. 2 receiver, delivering modest production at best, and now he's dropping to the No. 3 role behind CeeDee Lamb and Cooks. The 25-year-old has two touchdowns over his last four games but hasn't surpassed three catches in a single contest since Week 6. He can be avoided in most leagues as he takes on the New York Giants this Thursday.

From RotoBaller

The Dallas Cowboys' defense should be started in most leagues ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the New York Giants. While the unit did get out to a slower start during the first half of the season, they have found new life with Micah Parsons (ankle) healthy and a more favorable schedule on tap. Dallas has forced a turnover in each of its last four games, and the unit boosted its value with a pair of late kick return touchdowns in Week 12. This week, fantasy managers should be excited about the Cowboys' ability to force turnovers and limit points against a poor New York Giants offense led by either Tommy Devito (forearm) or Drew Lock. The Cowboys D/ST is a top-five fantasy option this week.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (back) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has mostly operated as the Cardinals' No. 3 running back this season, but he's still been efficient and productive, totaling 211 rushing yards, 86 receiving yards, and one touchdown through 11 games so far. He's not a dependable redraft option as long as both James Conner and Trey Benson are healthy.
