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.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (heel) is active for today’s game vs. the Steelers. He didn’t practice all week, which certainly isn’t ideal. But Brown played through this heel issue last week, posting a 6-88-0 line on 12 targets. Consider him a risk/reward WR3 play in Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Jets RB Breece Hall (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re not expecting the hammy to be an issue. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also active.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. It’ll be his first action since Week 10 – and the first time Houston has Brown, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods available at the same time since Week 1. We’re betting on Brown out-snapping and out-producing Woods as the No. 3 WR. But we’d rather wait on getting Brown back in fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. He got in two limited practices to close the week and never seemed in danger of missing this one. Dell is fine to keep in fantasy lineups.
Titans WR Treylon Burks (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. We’ll see how big a role he plays in his first action since Week 9, but Burks should not be in fantasy lineups.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but didn’t sound worried about the quad injury. We’re expecting him to play his usual high-volume role today.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor is expected to miss 3-5 weeks after undergoing thumb surgery on Wednesday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Dr. Steven Shin used an internal brace to help repair the torn UCL, which will speed up Taylor's recovery. The Colts notably did not place JT on IR, which confirms that there's a chance he misses fewer than four games. It seems likely that he'll miss the next three vs. the Titans, Bengals, and Steelers. We'll see if Taylor can make it back for Week 16 against the Falcons. He's worth keeping stashed on fantasy benches in most cases.
A source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport that Jets QB Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) is "unlikely" to play again this season. Rodgers got back on the practice field this week -- less than three months after tearing his Achilles. But the thought all along was that he'd only play again if the Jets were still in the playoff hunt. At 4-7, they'd likely need to win out to earn a postseason berth. So we'll be forced to watch more Tim Boyle or Zach Wilson or Trevor Siemian the rest of the way. Rodgers is at least on track to return to save WR Garrett Wilson and RB Breece Hall in 2024.
Patriots RB Ezekiel Elliott (thigh) is expected to play vs. the Chargers today, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Elliott registered a season-low 22% snap rate coming off the bye last week. He'd be a desperation Week 13 fantasy play.
Jets RBs Breece Hall (hamstring) and Dalvin Cook (shoulder) are expected to play vs. the Falcons today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hall practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we're not too worried about the hamstring.
Cardinals TE Trey McBride (groin) is expected to play vs. the Steelers today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. McBride got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. The groin adds a bit of risk to his Week 13 fantasy profile, but he remains a strong start.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (heel) is expected to play vs. the Steelers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Brown is listed as questionable and didn't practice all week. But he did play through this heel injury last week, posting a 6-88-0 line on 12 targets. See where Brown sits in the Week 13 WR Rankings.
ESPN's Adam Schefter calls Bucs WR Chris Godwin (neck) "likely" to play vs. the Panthers today. "But the team needs to make sure he feels OK in pre-game warmups first," Schefter adds. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport had a similar report, saying Godwin "plans to play Sunday vs. Carolina as long as he wakes up feeling good." That's a 4:05 pm ET kickoff, so we won't get the Bucs' inactives until a little after 2:30. If you're hoping to use Godwin today, it'd be wise to have another late-game option rostered just in case Godwin ends up sitting.
Chargers WR Keenan Allen (quad) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Allen only got in a limited practice on Friday, but there never seemed to be any concern about his availability for this one. He should stay glued into fantasy lineups.
Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) is expected to play vs. the Broncos today, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday but did not practice on Friday, so we're a bit surprised he's playing. This will be the first time since Week 1 that Brown, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, and Robert Woods are all available. Brown actually led the Texans with a 75% route rate in that one, although it's safe to say that won't be the case today. We'd try not to use Brown in Week 13 fantasy lineups with the playing-time uncertainty in his first game off a multi-week knee injury.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is expected to play vs. the Lions today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Olave made quick progress through the protocol and should be ready for his usual role today. Detroit's defense has struggled lately, allowing a WR to top 20 PPR points in each of the last three weeks. See where Olave lands in the Week 13 WR Rankings.
