Los Angeles Chargers (7-4) at Atlanta Falcons (6-5), 1 p.m. ET, FOX

Atlanta holds a one-game lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC South but lost the last two games. The Falcons are seeking their first winning season and playoff appearance since 2017. Prior to the bye last week, Atlanta lost 38-6 on the road to the Denver Broncos. The offense managed just 226 total yards, while producing its lowest point total of the season. The Falcons' defense didn't fare much better, as the unit was gashed by rookie quarterback Bo Nix, who threw four touchdowns. QB Kirk Cousins has thrown for 2,807 yards -- good for fifth in the NFL -- and would become the first Falcons quarterback since Matt Ryan in 2008 to lead the team to the playoffs in his first year. Chargers first-year head coach Jim Harbaugh has his team in the second AFC wild-card spot, sandwiched between the 8-4 Baltimore Ravens and 7-5 Broncos and gained more breathing room with Miami's loss at Green Bay on Thanksgiving night. After starting the year 3-3, the Chargers won four games in a row before dropping their home game Monday to the Ravens, 30-23. In a battle between Jim and his brother John, Los Angeles squandered a 10-0, second-quarter lead. Making matters worse, starting running back J.K. Dobbins suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee in the loss, and is expected to be out this week. He is considered week-to-week beyond that. Chargers backup running backs Gus Edwards and Hassan Haskins will try to account for the absence of Dobbins, who's rushed for 766 yards and eight touchdowns this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers (8-3) at Cincinnati Bengals (4-7), 1 p.m., CBS

Steelers coach Mike Tomlin heaped praise upon Bengals QB Joe Burrow for his MVP-level play in 2024 and warned his troops this road trip isn't one to take lightly. Pittsburgh isn't panicked after a surprising Thursday night loss at Cleveland last week and with 10 days between games, Tomlin expects an effort representative of a division leader on Sunday. All three of the Steelers' losses this season have come against teams that currently have a losing record. Pittsburgh also fell to the Dallas Cowboys and Indianapolis Colts. The Bengals have been in a rut -- with three losses in their past four games -- and were on the wrong end of a 34-27 decision against the Chargers on Nov. 17. Like Pittsburgh, Cincinnati came back from a sizable deficit only to lose the last time out. Joe Burrow threw three second-half touchdown passes against Los Angeles as the Bengals climbed out of a 27-6 hole, but Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins found the end zone from 29 yards out with 18 seconds left in regulation to break a 27-27 tie. Burrow went 28-for-50 passing for 356 yards and the three TDs. Making things harder for the Steelers could be the absence of linebacker Alex Highsmith, who did not practice on Wednesday because of an ankle injury that has forced him to miss two games.

Houston Texans (7-5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (2-9), 1 p.m., FOX

A week after a demoralizing loss to the Tennessee Titans, the AFC South-leading Texans visit Jacksonville with the Jaguars rested following a bye week. The week prior, Jacksonville was overwhelmed in a humiliating 52-6 loss to the Detroit Lions. It marked the fourth straight setback for the Jaguars, who had dropped their previous three games by a combined 13 points. Jaguars coach Doug Pederson noted that changes are coming, although he opted not to show his cards. QB Trevor Lawrence, who has not played since Nov. 3 due to a left shoulder injury, is eager to play and compete against Texans QB C.J. Stroud, who has run into some struggles during his sophomore season. Stroud has thrown nine interceptions in 12 games (all starts) after throwing only five as a rookie. He was picked off twice in the 32-27 setback against Tennessee, also throwing for 247 yards and two touchdowns on 20-for-33 passing. The Texans have lost three of their past four games and four of their past six as defenses continue to solve Stroud. The Texans topped Jacksonville 24-20 back on Sept. 29.

Arizona Cardinals (6-5) at Minnesota Vikings (9-2), 1 p.m., FOX

Add the Minnesota Vikings to the observers who were urging the Bears to use a time out in the final 25 seconds of their Thanksgiving Day loss to the Lions, who maintained a one-game lead in the NFC North by hanging on for a 23-20 win. With their focus back on the field, the Vikings are targeting a second five-game winning streak this season when the Cardinals come to town. Minnesota claimed a 30-27 overtime win on the road against the Bears last Sunday. The Vikings have won each of their past three games on the road, and they return home for the first time since beating the Indianapolis Colts 21-13 four weeks ago. Arizona is trying to return to winning after a 16-6 defeat on the road against the Seattle Seahawks last week. The defeat snapped a four-game winning streak for the Cardinals, who started the season 2-4 but have gone 4-1 since then. But Sunday's game and a rematch against Seattle could prove pivotal for his team's postseason hopes. Two wins would put Arizona at 8-5; two losses put the team below .500. Kyler Murray owns a 98.0 passer rating, throwing for 2,343 yards, 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. He also has 380 yards and four touchdowns on the ground. James Conner is Arizona's top backfield threat with 705 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Tight end Trey McBride has a team-high 61 catches for 685 yards.

Indianapolis Colts (5-7) at New England Patriots (3-9), 1 p.m., CBS

Penalties crippled the Colts' offense and erased multiple big plays by QB Anthony Richardson in Week 12, a loss to the Lions that left the locker room frustrated. But all is not lost for the Colts as they hit the road for another AFC East opponent. Richardson and Co. collected only 11 first downs in a 24-6 loss to the Detroit Lions. Richardson completed 11 of 28 passes for 172 yards. He was also the Colts' leading rusher (10 carries, 61 yards). Star running back Jonathan Taylor was held to 35 yards on 11 carries against Detroit, but Indianapolis coach Shane Steichen is hopeful that he will do more damage against the Patriots. Getting the run going could become even more important if wide receivers Josh Downs, Alec Pierce and Ashton Dulin aren't able to take the field. All three wouldn't have practiced on Wednesday had the Colts not opted to simply do a walkthrough. Downs' absence could end up hurting Indianapolis the most. The second-year man has a team-leading 53 catches for 594 yards and four TDs. Patriots rookie QB Drake Maye said he's not worried about the so-called wall first-year players often encounter with the longer NFL season. Maye makes his ninth appearance (eighth start) of the campaign. He didn't excel in the Patriots' 34-15 loss to the Miami Dolphins last Sunday. He finished with 222 yards, one touchdown and one interception on 22-of-37 passing.

Seattle Seahawks (6-5) at New York Jets (3-8), 1 p.m. ET, FOX

Most of the focus for the Jets, who have lost six of their past seven games, already points to next season. That's part of the reason they might not risk a hobbled Breece Hall, who has 632 yards rushing along with 46 catches for 401 yards and six total touchdowns this season but began the week with a knee injury coming out of the bye week. QB Aaron Rodgers, who turns 41 Monday, wasn't among those listed on the injury report for the first time since September. The streaky Seahawks are back to their winning ways and are tied with the Cardinals atop the NFC West. After opening the season by going 3-0, Seattle lost five of its next six games before winning its past two against division rivals. Coach Mike Macdonald's defense has been much improved since a bye in Week 10, as the Seahawks defeated the host San Francisco 49ers 20-17 and visiting Arizona 16-6 over the past two weeks. Coby Bryant returned an interception 69 yards for a touchdown and Leonard Williams had 2.5 sacks against the Cardinals.

Tennessee Titans (3-8) at Washington Commanders (7-5), 1 p.m. ET, CBS

Trade deadline acquisition Marshon Lattimore, a physical cornerback picked up from the Saints, could debut for the Commanders. They could use a jolt. Having lost three straight after a 7-2 start, the Commanders last won Nov. 3 on Hail Mary touchdown from rookie QB Jayden Daniels. Tennessee is coming off a 33-27 upset of the Houston Texans that featured one of Will Levis' best starts of the season. Washington has lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys the past three weeks and enters Week 13 two games behind the NFC East-leading Eagles. After sputtering for three quarters against Dallas, Washington scored 17 fourth-quarter points in a wild 34-26 loss last week. Daniels completed 25 of 38 passes for 274 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, but 86 of those yards came on a late catch-and-run score by Terry McLaurin. In the three recent losses, Daniels has a 61.5 completion percentage, three touchdowns, three interceptions and a 77.7 passer rating while being sacked 10 times. Daniels did have his best rushing day since Week 1 when he gained 74 yards against Dallas. Improvement might not come easy. The Titans' defense that ranks second in the NFL behind the Eagles, giving up just 276.4 yards per game. Levis returned from his right shoulder injury and the Titans have averaged 224.3 passing yards per game, with nine touchdown passes and six interceptions in the past six outings. RB Tony Pollard had his best game of the season against Houston, rushing 24 times for 119 yards and a touchdown.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-6) at Carolina Panthers (3-8), 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX

Few introductions are needed on Sunday, as first-year Panthers coach Dave Canales came to Carolina after serving as Buccaneers offensive coordinator a season ago. Canales' prized pupil last season, Tampa Bay quarterback Baker Mayfield was with the Panthers for part of the 2022 campaign. The Buccaneers (5-6) playing a division opponent for the first time since an Oct. 27 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The goal will be notching back-to-back wins for the first time since the first two weeks of the season. Four different ball-carriers, including Mayfield, found the end zone on the ground during a 30-7 drubbing of the New York Giants last Sunday. Mayfield also completed 24 of 30 passes for 294 yards. Star wideout Mike Evans was back in action for Tampa Bay following a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He finished with five receptions for 68 yards against the Giants and now gets a crack at a Carolina team allowing a league-high 30.9 points per game this season. However, the Panthers have tightened up their play as of late, winning two games in a row before hanging with the two-time defending champion Kansas City Chiefs in a 30-27 setback last Sunday. The outing against Kansas City may have been the most efficient performance of Panthers quarterback Bryce Young's two-year career. Young completed 21 of 35 passes for 263 yards and one score without throwing a pick. Carolina and Tampa Bay might as well get used to each other, as the two teams will collide again in four weeks.

Los Angeles Rams (5-6) at New Orleans Saints (4-7), 4:05 p.m. ET, FOX

The Saints won both games they have played since interim head coach Darren Rizzi was promoted from special teams coordinator to replace Dennis Allen, who was fired Nov. 4 after a seven-game losing streak. New Orleans comes out of its bye sitting in third place in the NFC South, two games behind the Falcons and one game behind the Buccaneers. The Rams' visit will be the third straight home game for Rizzi as interim head coach. The Saints beat the Falcons 20-17 in his debut and followed that with a 35-14 victory over Cleveland in which they outscored the Browns 21-0 in the fourth quarter. A series of significant injuries contributed to the losing streak, but New Orleans has gotten progressively healthier in recent weeks. Quarterback Derek Carr improved in each of the last three contests after returning from a three-game absence caused by an oblique strain. The return of center Erik McCoy from groin surgery after a seven-game absence was a boost against the Browns. The Saints' signing of veteran receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling on Oct. 22 with top receivers Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed injured has given Carr a much-needed big-play threat. In the past two games, Valdes-Scantling has three touchdown receptions and has averaged 39.2 yards on five catches. The Rams are coming off a 37-20 home loss against the Eagles on Sunday night, their second defeat in three games after a three-game winning streak. They are tied with the San Francisco 49ers for last place in the NFC West, but they're just one game behind the first-place Seahawks and Cardinals and have one game remaining against each of the three rivals. Coach Sean McVay called the loss to the Eagles "a humbling night" after his team struggled on both sides of the ball. The defense allowed Saquon Barkley to rush for a career-high and franchise-record 255 yards as well as two touchdowns, and Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford was sacked five times.

Philadelphia Eagles (9-2) at Baltimore Ravens (8-4), 4:25 p.m. ET, CBS

The Eagles have won seven in a row and play four of their final six games in Philadelphia, traveling only about 125 miles to visit the Ravens this weekend and the Commanders in Week 16. Sunday's game features the NFL's two leading rushers. Saquon Barkley (1,392 yards) and Derrick Henry (1,325) are far ahead of Green Bay's Josh Jacobs (944) in third place. Henry leads the league with 13 rushing touchdowns. Barkley (10) is tied for fourth and Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts (11) tied for second. The matchup also features two of the top candidates for Most Valuable Player honors entering Week 13 in Barkley and Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson, who won his second MVP award last season. Their competition includes quarterbacks Josh Allen of Buffalo and Jared Goff of Detroit, with Allen widely considered the favorite. The showdown at M&T Bank Stadium also pits Baltimore's No. 1 offense (426.7 yards per game) and No. 2 scoring offense (30.3 points per game) against Philadelphia's No. 1 defense (274.6) and No. 6 scoring defense (18.1). The Eagles have held seven consecutive opponents to under 300 total yards, while the Ravens have gained at least 329 yards of offense in all 11 games. Philadelphia is coming off a 37-20 road win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night in which Barkley smashed the franchise record with 255 rushing yards. Baltimore also earned a prime-time win in Los Angeles last week, defeating the Chargers 30-23 in the "Harbaugh Bowl" on Monday night behind Jackson's three touchdowns (two passing, one rushing). Philadelphia is 5-1 away from home this season -- 6-1 if you count their season-opening "home" victory against the Packers in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Baltimore is 4-1 at home.

San Francisco 49ers (5-6) at Buffalo Bills (9-2), 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC

Buffalo can clinch the AFC East before the calendar flips to December while the 49ers are staggered and stumble into New York bracing for snow with a good chance of backups in the forecast. QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) missed the Week 12 loss at Green Bay and San Francisco was also without All-Pro DE Nick Bosa (oblique, hip), with LT Trent Williams (ankle) motoring through the locker room this week on a knee scooter. Buffalo is not the ideal place to try to get healthy. The Bills dealt the Chiefs their only loss this season and Buffalo has scored at least 30 points in five consecutive games. QB Josh Allen has passed for 18 touchdowns against five interceptions this season after throwing a career-worst 18 picks last season. San Francisco got walloped last week without Purdy, falling 38-10 to the host Packers. Brandon Allen started at quarterback and completed 17 of 29 passes for 199 yards with one touchdown pass, one interception and one lost fumble. Allen is 2-8 as an NFL starter. He is again getting heavy work in practice in case Purdy's shoulder doesn't significantly improve. The 49ers could use a big performance from running back Christian McCaffrey, who had just 31 yards on 11 carries and caught three passes for 37 yards against Green Bay.

Waiver Wire Pickups: Week 13

Player Notes
D.K. Metcalf Nov 29 3:50pm CT
D.K. Metcalf

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf (shoulder) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday's matchup against the New York Jets. Metcalf was unable to participate in practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury but was able to log a full session on Friday. As a result, fantasy managers should feel comfortable locking him into all lineups this weekend, as he should see his typical snap count operating as the lead wideout in the Seattle passing attack. Through nine games this season, Metcalf has averaged a solid 14.9 PPR points per game with 77.4 yards per contest. Despite facing a tough New York secondary that has allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts, Metcalf should still be viewed as a solid WR2 in all formats.

Washington Commanders defensive back Marshon Lattimore (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network. Lattimore has yet to make his Washington debut as he remains sidelined with this hamstring injury. However, Lattimore was able to log three consecutive limited practice sessions this week, which suggests that he could be on his way to returning following their Week 14 bye. Earlier this season, Lattimore tallied 30 tackles (22 solo), eight assists, and two pass deflections through seven games with New Orleans. As a result, Mike Sainristil and Benjamin St-Juste will see most of the snaps on Sunday if Lattimore cannot suit up.

Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (ankle) logged a full practice on Friday and does not carry an injury designation for this Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, according to John Keim of ESPN. Robinson sustained this ankle injury last weekend during their loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The Alabama product was only able to log five carries before exiting early. Even though Robinson missed time earlier this season, fantasy managers should feel confident locking him in as a solid RB2 as he has found the end zone seven times through eight games. In addition, No. 2 running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) will not suit up, which will open up even more opportunities for Robinson, which could make him a low-end RB1 despite facing a tough Tennessee rushing defense.

Austin Ekeler Nov 29 3:20pm CT
Austin Ekeler

Washington Commanders running back Austin Ekeler (concussion) will not suit up this weekend when the Washington Commanders host the Tennessee Titans. Ekeler suffered this concussion (his second of the season) during last weekend's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Before exiting the game tallied 22 yards on nine rushing attempts. Ekeler has enjoyed a solid debut campaign in the DMV, as he has averaged 11.6 PPR points per game, operating primarily as a third-down option. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Brian Robinson Jr. to see the majority of snaps, while Jeremy McNichols could mix in as a change-of-pace option. Even though the Titans have allowed the 11th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, Robinson could have top-12 upside, given the increased workload.

Jaquelin Roy Nov 29 3:10pm CT
Jaquelin Roy

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) is listed as questionable to play against the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in Week 13. In addition to Dugger, safety Jabrill Peppers (knee), linebackers Christian Elliss (knee), Anfernee Jennings (knee) and Sione Takitaki (knee), and defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy (neck) are questionable for the Pats defense. The 28-year-old Dugger has played through limited tags each of the last two weeks, so barring a setback on Saturday, he should be active on Sunday for New England's secondary. Dugger has only played in eight games so far in 2024 due to injury and has compiled 44 tackles (30 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss, three pass breakups and a forced fumble. At best, he'll be a low-end starting option at defensive back for those in IDP fantasy formats.

DeVonta Smith Nov 29 3:10pm CT
DeVonta Smith

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens, according to Jonathan Jones of CBS. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to his status throughout the weekend, as he could be a game-time decision. Smith sat out last weekend with this injury and opened the week as a non-participant in practice. He was then able to upgrade to a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. Throughout the season, Smith has shown flashes of his elite upside but has struggled to produce consistently. If he can play this weekend, fantasy managers should view him as a WR2 with upside facing a weak Baltimore secondary that has allowed the most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season. If he cannot play, A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert could see a significant uptick in targets.

Demario Douglas Nov 29 3:00pm CT
Demario Douglas

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas (ankle) has been listed as questionable to play this Sunday against the visiting Indianapolis Colts in Week 13. Douglas was limited in practice this week and is now up in the air to play this weekend. If the 23-year-old is ruled out, it would be a serious downgrade for New England's offense, as he's been one of quarterback Drake Maye's favorite target through the air. Douglas entered Week 13 leading the team's receiving corps in receptions (48), receiving yards (477) and targets (66) while scoring one touchdown in 12 games in his second season in the NFL. Because of his injury, Douglas becomes more of a shaky WR4/5 option for fantasy managers this weekend. If he's unable to get the green light to play on Sunday morning, Kendrick Bourne and Kayshon Boutte will likely be the top receivers, with tight ends Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper also seeing more work.

DeVonta Smith Nov 29 2:40pm CT
DeVonta Smith

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) practiced for the second straight day on Friday, but he said after practice that he's unsure if he will be able to play on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. Smith said the final decision on whether he'll play isn't up to him, but if it were, he said, "I still don't know." The 26-year-old missed practice all of last week and sat out the Sunday night win over the Los Angeles Rams. Then he missed Wednesday's practice before being limited on Thursday. Smith appears to be making progress, but he's likely to be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, and he could end up being a game-time decision. That will make the decision to sit or start Smith more difficult for fantasy managers in Week 13 with Philly's game coming in the later window on Sunday. If Smith misses another game, Jahan Dotson will operate as the WR2 for the Eagles.

J.K. Dobbins Nov 29 2:10pm CT
J.K. Dobbins

Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins (knee) has officially been ruled out for Week 13's contest against the hosting Atlanta Falcons on Sunday after he was unable to practice all week. Dobbins sprained his left MCL in the Monday night loss to the Baltimore Ravens, so it's not a surprise that he won't be available this weekend. Depending on how he recovers, fantasy managers could be without LA's lead back again next week when the Chargers head on the road to Kansas City to take on the division-rival Chiefs for the second time this year. The Bolts will likely play it safe with Dobbins, considering his lengthy injury history. With Dobbins out this Sunday, Gus Edwards should lead the LA backfield in touches, with rookie Kimani Vidal and Hassan Haskins battling for change-of-pace work. Fantasy managers should view Edwards as a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex this week.

Trevor Lawrence Nov 29 2:00pm CT
Trevor Lawrence

The Houston Texans defense/special teams is in the middle of the pack when it comes to points allowed, but they have been among the most disruptive which could mean another productive fantasy day in Week 13 against Jacksonville. In their past three games, the Texans have forced 10 turnovers, compiled 13 sacks, and scored two touchdowns, making them a force in fantasy lineups. The potential return of Jags quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) would be a major upgrade for their offense, but Jacksonville still ranks 27th in scoring percentage and has turned over the ball on 13% of its possessions. Houston is a starting option in this matchup.

Baker Mayfield

Tampa Bay Buccaneers left tackle Tristan Wirfs (knee, foot) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. Wirfs sat out of last week's win over the New York Giants. He continues to be limited in practice which gives him a questionable tag ahead of Sunday's game. Wirfs is an All-Pro tackle and is extremely important to this offensive unit. His presence is important for both the run game and for the protection of quarterback Baker Mayfield. His absence would likely mean Justin Skule gets the start at left tackle given he's listed as the second string on the depth chart.

DeVonta Smith

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) was seen on the field during Friday's practice. Smith sat out of practice to start the week, but has been back on the field for the last two days. Smith sat out last week's win over the Los Angeles Rams, but appears to be heading in the right direction now. The expectation is that Smith will likely be considered questionable heading into the Week 13 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. When healthy, Smith has been solid this season, so fantasy managers should get him back in their lineups if he's able to play.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco (leg) is officially back ahead of Friday's Week 13 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Pacheco is back on the field for the first time since Week 2. It was uncertain coming into this game if Pacheco would be limited or not considering he hasn't played in months. The Chiefs have said that Pacheco will be a full-go for Friday's game. Fantasy managers should feel good about getting Pacheco back in their lineups for this favorable matchup. Kareem Hunt will see his value take a hit with Hunt back in the mix. It remains to be seen how much Hunt will be involved going forward.

Darnell Mooney

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring) is good to go ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mooney suffered a hamstring injury during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. As a result, Mooney was limited in practice on Wednesday, but has now been cleared to play in Week 13. Prior to last week, Mooney had posted three straight 80-plus receiving yard games. The Chargers secondary has been solid this season which should push Mooney into WR3 territory for Week 13.

Breece Hall

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is hopeful to get on the field for the Week 13 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Hall missed Wednesday's practice but was able to get back on field during Thursday's session. Interim head coach Jeff Ulbrich said Hall is trending in the right direction ahead of this weekend's game. Hall tweaked his knee in Week 11 and has been experiencing soreness during the team's Week 12 bye. Braelon Allen figures to take over as the lead back if Hall is unable to play. Allen should be rostered in 12-team formats ahead of this Week 13 matchup.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (hip) is ready to go ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. London landed on the injury report on Thursday due to what appears to be a minor hip issue. Despite that, head coach Raheem Morris has cleared London ahead of this weekend. London has 11 receptions for 158 yards over his last two games. Fantasy managers should feel safe plugging him back into lineups this weekend. However, London could have some issues against a tough Chargers secondary.

Josh Downs

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that wide receivers Josh Downs (shoulder) and Aston Dulin (ankle) have officially been ruled out for Sunday's tilt versus the New England Patriots in Week 13. After injuring his shoulder in the Week 12 loss to the Detroit Lions, Downs was fighting an uphill battle to play this week against the Patriots, and now he's officially out. Fantasy managers will obviously want him on their benches in Week 13. A bye in Week 14 will hopefully give Downs all the rest he needs to be good to go in Week 15 to face the Denver Broncos. Michael Pittman Jr., Alec Pierce (foot) and rookie Adonai Mitchell figure to be Indy's top three receivers this Sunday with Downs sidelined. The 23-year-old Downs has become one of the team's most dynamic receiving weapons in 2024 in his second season, catching 53 of his 78 targets for 594 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Harrison Bryant (ankle) was removed from the team's final Week 13 injury report on Thursday, but he will be a healthy scratch for Friday's divisional matchup against the hosting Kansas City Chiefs. Bryant sat out of the last two games due to his ankle injury and will now miss a third straight contest, although it appears he's put his ankle injury in the rearview mirror. The 26-year-old is the third QB in Vegas behind both Brock Bowers and Michael Mayer, so he's well off the fantasy radar now that Mayer is back with the team. In his first year with the Raiders in 2024, Bryant has barely been involved in the eight games he's been active for, catching nine of his 12 targets for 86 yards and no touchdowns.

Alexander Mattison

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) has officially been ruled out for the team's Week 13 game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Black Friday. Mattison missed last week's loss to the division-rival Denver Broncos and came into Friday's contest as questionable, but he'll now miss his second straight game. With Zamir White (quadriceps) also missing a second straight game, Ameer Abdullah is in line to make a second straight start, with Sincere McCormick and rookie Dylan Laube backing him up. For volume alone, Abdullah enters the RB3/flex mix in fantasy yet again, but the matchup isn't a great one. The Chiefs defense has allowed the fewest half-PPR points to opposing RBs this year. Abdullah wasn't exactly impressive in his start last week against a similarly tough Broncos defense, rushing for 28 yards on eight carries, although he did find the end zone through the air.

Thomas Brown, who was promoted to offensive coordinator just over two weeks ago, will take over as the Chicago Bears' interim head coach after they fired Matt Eberflus on Friday. The Bears made the move to relieve Eberflus of his head-coaching duties after the Bears lost to the division-rival Detroit Lions by a score of 23-20 for their sixth straight loss. It's the first time in Bears franchise history that they have fired a coach in the middle of a season. Since the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron and inserted Brown as the offensive coordinator, Chicago's offense, led by rookie first overall pick Caleb Williams, has improved. However, Eberflus' defensive unit has deteriorated, leading to his firing. Brown could be a candidate for the full-time job in Chicago if the team performs well down the stretch, but it also wouldn't be a surprise for the Bears to bring in a whole new coaching staff for 2025.
