Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill registered his third outing at an RB2 level or higher during their Week 12 win over the Chargers. Now, Hill and company take on an even better defense in the Philadelphia Eagles. They allow just 99.2 rushing yards per game and eight touchdowns on the ground all year. Their pass defense is also one of the tougher units in the league which makes Hill's week that much harder. He comes in as a very risky flex option in deeper leagues heading into this matchup.

Dynasty | Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle had 112 rushing yards, three catches, 11 receiving yards, and a touchdown in a Dallas win over the Giants on Thanksgiving. Dynasty Analysis: Dowdle had 22 running back carries in the game, compared to just one for Ezekiel Elliott. It was a career day for the 26-year old, who has been nearly begging to have a day where they committed to giving him the ball. It may be too little, too late for Dowdle, who is likely to be replaced as the lead back next season. However, Dallas may simply ride him the rest of the way, giving him some very nice in-season value moving forward. Dowdle is a solid hold until the season is over.

Dynasty | Bears wide receiver DJ Moore had eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in a loss against Detroit on Thanksgiving day. Dynasty Analysis: Moore set a season high in catches (8) and targets (16) in this one as the Bears were forced to throw the ball more than they wanted. It's been a frustrating year for Moore, but Caleb Williams is starting to play better and utilize him much more of late. Moore's dynasty value was starting to slip, but his recent play has made it much more stable.

Dynasty | Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco had 44 rushing yards, one catch, and five receiving yards in a win against the Raiders. Dynasty Analysis: Pacheco split time with Kareem Hunt (15 yards on nine touches), but clearly looked more effective. The time share will likely continue, but Pacheco will very likely turn this into a 60/40 or 70/30 situation sooner rather than later should he continue to outperform Hunt. In reality, neither player is worth starting until we see something more definitive, but this was a solid return for Pacheco.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram could return to TE1 form in Week 13 against the Houston Texans with the potential return of Trevor Lawrence at quarterback. Mac Jones hasn't played well enough in Lawrence's absence, holding the entire offense back in fantasy. Engram hasn't surpassed 50 yards receiving since Week 6 in London, but has been heavily targeted over the last three weeks with 25 combined targets. The last time the Jaguars faced the Texans, Engram was out with injury, so his presence should provide a new look for the Jaguars offense the second time around. Upside is the main thing fantasy managers should be looking for at tight end, making Engram a decent option as a low-end TE1 with solid upside in Week 13.

Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Cam Little has been okay in fantasy this season, and should continue to serve as an okay option in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. The Jaguars have a chance to move the ball much better this week with the potential return of Trevor Lawrence and the offense overall getting healthier. Little did also produce 10 fantasy points the last time the Jaguars faced the Texans this season back in Week 4, his second best outing of the season. Little has been a consistent NFL kicker during his rookie season from an accuracy and distance standpoint, but that hasn't really translated to consistent fantasy success. There are definitely better kicker options this week, but there are also definitely worse. Little is a fine play in Week 13.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has been one of the more frustrating fantasy decisions this season along with his counterpart Isaiah Likely. Against the Steelers, Andrews saw three targets despite a 61% snap share, then received five targets with a 42% snap share against the Chargers. The Ravens' tight end situation is nearly impossible to predict week-to-week. The issue is that the Philadelphia Eagles' defense is the second-toughest for opposing tight ends as they give up only 6.3 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. Andrews could be started in a pinch but is hard to rely on in most situations.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been a real boom-or-bust option this year as he's turned into the deep threat that the team hoped for since the 2021 NFL Draft. He's produced a few weeks of WR1 production, but more weeks outside of WR3 territory. In Week 13, based on normal alignment, Bateman would go up against Quinyon Mitchell who has been one of the top cornerbacks in the league during his rookie season. Bateman could be a flex play in deep leagues, but is hard to trust for high-level production.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. is a risky play in Week 13 against the Houston Texans. Since returning from injury, he has done almost next to nothing, even with fellow back Tank Bigsby banged up. In half-PPR leagues, Etienne Jr. hasn't reached double digits since Week 3, and has failed to surpass five points in each of his last four outings. He has been one of, if not the biggest fantasy disappointments this season. With Trevor Lawrence returning from injury, things could be a little better for the Jaguars offense both in the pass game and the run game, but for now he is tough to trust in fantasy lineups, especially for teams pushing for the fantasy playoffs. Etienne Jr. is at best a risky flex play in Week 13.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dots could earn some fantasy relevance if DeVonta Smith (hamstring), who is listed as questionable, fails to play against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. Dotson has a modest 10 catches for 110 yards through 11 games this season, but he played a respectable 68 percent of the snaps with Smith sidelined last week. He could be in line for a similar role if Smith spends Week 13 on the sideline. Also working in Dotson's favor is a matchup against the Ravens, who have allowed the second-most catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, as well as the single-most fantasy points. Fantasy managers should view Dotson as a potential WR4 play if Smith is inactive on Sunday.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers may not have found the end zone in Week 12, but his priority in the offense allowed him to be the leader in targets and yards. Flowers averages 7.3 targets per game this season, equating to a 24.9% target share and 65.8 yards per contest. Based on alignment, Flowers' matchup would have been Darius Slay (concussion), but if the Eagles don't shift Quinyon Mitchell over, it would be Isaiah Rodgers. That means Flowers would likely see a heavy dose of targets, leaving his floor at a WR2 this week.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. could get a big boost against the Houston Texans with the potential return of Trevor Lawrence in Week 13. Lawrence is currently questionable with a right shoulder injury, but if he does return, BTJ fantasy managers should be excited that the rookie receiver will have a QB who can throw the ball down the field again. The Texans serve as a good matchup for passing offenses, meaning BTJ could be in for some big plays, as he has shown capable of throughout his rookie campaign. While he has been an afterthought with Mac Jones under center, BTJ should return to former glory as a WR2 with WR1 potential. Fantasy managers in need of upside to reach the playoffs can have faith once again in BTJ in Week 13.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert remains an appealing option in fantasy football, especially given his potential to command additional targets and volume during Sunday's Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Goedert has 10 targets over his last two games, and while his reception and yardage totals have been down, that could change this Sunday against Baltimore. The Ravens have already allowed the fifth-most catches and third-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends, pointing to numerous opportunities for Goedert to get involved through the air this weekend. Furthermore, there's an outside chance the Eagles could be without DeVonta Smith (hamstring). If so, there would be even more targets available for Goedert, who finds himself in the low-end TE1 range for fantasy purposes.

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry was finally overtaken as the league's top runner last week when Saquon Barkley put together a historic performance. Henry now sits at the RB2 in half-PPR formats and is 37 yards behind Barkley. Both defenses have been very good against the run, but the Philadelphia Eagles have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing backfields. The Ravens have been a force when Henry gets 20+ carries, but the game script could be different if the Eagles' offense gets an early lead. The King still comes in as an RB1 either way.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown is continuing to trend upward ahead of Sunday's Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens. The stars appear to be aligning for a big fantasy showing from Brown, who totaled six catches, 109 yards, one touchdown, and 22.9 fantasy points (PPR) last Sunday night. This week, he faces the Baltimore Ravens, who have allowed the second-most catches, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers, as well as the single-most fantasy points. Furthermore, Brown could have less competition for opportunities if teammate DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is sidelined. Of course, even if Smith does play, Brown's track record and juicy matchup vault him to the high-end WR1 range on Sunday afternoon. Managers should start him with confidence in all leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is coming off his worst fantasy performance since Week 4, but he has a beautiful chance to bounce back and get right this Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. Hurts, who currently ranks as the overall QB2 and has been inside the top three during each of the last three seasons, will look to show off his arm and rushing skills in a potentially neutral game script scenario in Week 13. Furthermore, while Baltimore is viewed as an above-average offense and defense, there's actually a lot to like about Hurts' matchup. So far this season, the Ravens have allowed the most passing yards, third-most passing touchdowns, and second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Hurts should be started as a high-end QB1 in all fantasy leagues this week.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson has been able to produce some big fantasy outputs against almost every defense he's gone up against. In fact, he's played the 32nd, 31st, and 27th-ranked defenses in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks with the Steelers allowing the fewest. The Philadelphia Eagles are ranked 30th while they give up just 14.3 fantasy points per game. Jackson does have history on his side though as he's 23-3 against the NFC dating back to his rookie year, and is 6-1 against the NFC East. The two-time MVP is still a must-start, especially at home, but it could be an uphill battle.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley is coming off one of the greatest single-game performances in NFL history, and he'll now look to ride this surge into Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Baltimore Ravens. Barkley, who ranks as the overall RB1 in fantasy football this season, solidified himself near the top of the MVP conversation with 255 rushing yards, 47 receiving yards, and two touchdowns against the Los Angeles Rams last Sunday night. This week, he gets a tougher matchup in the Ravens, who have allowed the third-fewest rushing yards and ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2024. The Ravens are certainly a tougher opponent than the Rams, but Barkley has proven that he is matchup-proof and should be deployed as an elite high-end RB1 option in Week 13.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Will Dissly (groin) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and cleared to play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Dissly has delivered solid production over the last six weeks, catching 28 passes for 288 yards and one touchdown during that span. Since Week 7, he ranks as the overall TE12 in PPR leagues. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him as a fringe top-12 option this week against the Falcons, who have been near the middle of the road with the 14th-most fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends in 2024.

James Conner's matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14 presents a tough challenge, but his consistent usage in both the running and passing game still makes him a viable fantasy option. The Cardinals' offense has struggled to establish a run game, especially after their poor performance against the Seahawks in Week 13, where Conner was limited to just eight yards on seven carries. However, Conner's five targets in the passing game show that the team is still committed to keeping him involved in their offense. Even with the difficult matchup, Conner's steady involvement in the passing game gives him a solid floor for fantasy points, especially in PPR formats. The Vikings' defense has been relatively middle-of-the-pack against the run, so while Conner may not have a high ceiling this week, he can still provide decent fantasy value as a low-end RB2. The key for Conner is his volume, and barring a drastic change in game script, he should see enough touches to justify a start in most lineups.
