Texans WR Tank Dell has been diagnosed with a fractured fibula and will be placed on IR, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dell will miss at least four games and is likely done for the regular season. We'll look for a more concrete timetable for his return. Dell's injury is a hit to QB C.J. Stroud's fantasy value but leaves behind a lot of opportunity for Houston's other pass catchers. Nico Collins will be the clear No. 1 the rest of the way, with WRs Noah Brown, Robert Woods, and John Metchie behind him. We'll have more on those guys in this week's waiver wire article.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers with a heel injury. This is presumably an aggravation of the heel issue he's dealt with the past two weeks. We'll update Brown's status when we know more.
Dolphins LB Jerome Baker left Sunday's game against the Commanders with a knee injury and has been ruled out. We'll see about his status heading into next Monday night's home date with the Titans. David Long is likely to lead the LB corps in playing time while Baker is out.
Steelers LB Elandon Roberts left Sunday's game against the Cardinals in the first half with a groin injury and was ruled out before halftime. That doesn't bode well for his chances of being ready for Pittsburgh's Thursday night game against the Patriots. Mykal Walker took over defensive play-calling duties after Roberts and would likely lead the LB corps in playing time in any further games Roberts misses.
Rams Edge Michael Hoecht (knee) is active for today's game against the Browns. Use him as planned in IDP lineups.
Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (hamstring is active for today's game against the Buccaneers. We're betting he'll be in the lineup, but it's tough to know how much playing time he'll be ready for. Horn hasn't played since Week 1. He's a risky option for IDP lineups.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (forearm) is inactive for today’s game vs. the 49ers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday and seemingly has a good chance to return for next weekend’s rematch with the Cowboys.
Commanders RB Brian Robinson hurt his hamstring in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins and will not return. That leaves the backfield to Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez. We'll see how work is split between those two -- although there probably won't be much running from Washington in a 31-7 hole.
Bucs WR Chris Godwin (neck) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. Godwin was added to Thursday's injury report with the neck issue, did not practice on Friday, and was reportedly a game-time decision today. He carries elevated risk in Week 13 fantasy lineups but is available if you were waiting on him.
Steelers QB Kenny Pickett hurt his ankle in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals and is questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more. QB Mitchell Trubisky will replace Pickett.
Update: Pickett has been ruled out. He's on the sidelines with his right foot in a walking boot.
Texans WR Tank Dell's left ankle got rolled up on in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos. He had to be carted back to the locker room. It's safe to assume his day is over. Let's hope the rookie is able to play again this season.
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson suffered an apparent ankle injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Chargers. He had to be helped off the field and headed straight to the locker room. We'll update Stevenson's status when we know more.
Update: Stevenson is officially questionable to return with an ankle injury.
Update: Stevenson has been ruled out.
Dolphins S Jevon Holland (knees) is inactive for today's game against the Commanders. Brandon Jones should fill in and carries both tackle and sack upside against the league's busiest pass offense.
Cardinals S Jalen Thompson (ribs) is active for today's game against the Steelers. He entered the day questionable but should be fine to use as planned in your IDP lineups.
Saints Edge Cameron Jordan (ankle) is active for today's game against the Lions. He didn't practice at all during the week and faces an opponent allowing less than 2 sacks per fame on the season. You probably have a better -- or at least safer -- option for your IDP lineup this week.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says to expect "heavy targets" for Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth again today. He's coming off a big 9-120-0 line on a team-leading 11 targets last week. "Expect them to try to replicate that ... attack the middle of the field," Rapoport adds. You certainly shouldn't be expecting another 100-yard outing from Freiermuth today. But he does sit inside the top 10 of our Week 13 TE Rankings.
Patriots RB Ezekiel Elliott (thigh) is active for today’s game vs. the Chargers. Elliott sunk to a season-low 22% snap rate coming off the bye last week and would be a desperation Week 13 fantasy start.
Saints K Blake Grupe (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. He was listed as questionable after a limited week of practice and carries elevated risk in Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. He was a full-go in practice on Friday and should play his usual role today. Olave sits high in the Week 13 WR Rankings.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (groin) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and should play his usual role today.
