Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Broncos. He got in two limited practices to close the week and said Friday that he’ll play on Sunday. Dell can stay penciled into fantasy lineups. We’ll get Houston’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.
Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (forearm) is listed as doubtful for this weekend’s game vs. the 49ers. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, with Philadelphia aiming to have him back for next week’s rematch with the Cowboys. Grab Goedert now if he was dropped in your fantasy league.
Saints K Blake Grupe (groin) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. It probably makes sense to go with a healthier kicker in your Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Saints RB Kendre Miller (ankle) remained sidelined in practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. Jamaal Williams will again operate as New Orleans’ No. 2 RB but isn’t a fantasy option.
Saints WR Rashid Shaheed (thigh) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Lions. He didn’t practice all week and might miss more time beyond Week 13.
Saints WR Chris Olave (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Lions. He got in limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and was a full participant on Friday. HC Dennis Allen said Friday that Olave “has a chance” to play on Sunday – confirmation that he still has at least one stage of the protocol to pass through. We’ll look for further updates on Olave’s status and will get New Orleans’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. Olave will be a borderline WR1 if he’s cleared.
Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (ankle, knee) is not listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday. Mostert might lose a few touches to RB De'Von Achane on Sunday, but he remains a nice fantasy play with Miami sporting a big 29.5-point implied total.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (ankle) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and will be ready to go for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders' 32nd-ranked WR defense.
Cardinals WR Trey McBride (groin) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday, so we’re expecting him to play. But you’ll need to check Shark Bites around 11:30 am ET on Sunday to make sure McBride is active.
Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (heel) missed practice all week and is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Steelers. He played through this injury last week, and HC Jonathan Gannon said Friday that Brown is “trending in the right direction” to play in Pittsburgh. We’ll get Arizona’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. WR Michael Wilson (shoulder) is out again for the Cardinals.
Jets RB Breece Hall (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Falcons. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so we’re fully expecting Hall to play. We’ll get the Jets’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. RB Dalvin Cook (shoulder) is also questionable.
Packers RB Aaron Jones (knee) is out for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs. He remained sidelined in practice all week. RB A.J. Dillon will again operate as Green Bay's primary ball carrier this weekend, but he'll also likely cede most passing-down work to RB Patrick Taylor. That's a concern with the Packers 6-point underdogs.
Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (thumb) is officially out for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. HC Shane Steichen said earlier this week that the team is not considering an IR stint for Taylor, which would knock him out for four games. Owner Jim Irsay said the "hope" is that JT can return in two to three weeks. His absence will put RB Zack Moss back in a feature role. He averaged 22.0 carries and 2.7 targets in three games without Taylor earlier this season.
Panthers WR Jonathan Mingo (Achilles) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was limited in Thursday’s practice but a full-go on Friday. He’ll play vs. the Bucs this weekend but would be a desperation fantasy start. The rookie has yet to top 10.2 PPR points in a game this season.
Panthers TE Hayden Hurst (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bucs. TE Tommy Tremble (hip) is listed as doubtful, which will leave Carolina with TEs Ian Thomas and Stephen Sullivan. Neither is a viable fantasy play.
Bucs HC Todd Bowles labeled WR Chris Godwin (neck) a game-time decision for Sunday's meeting with the Panthers. Godwin was added to Thursday's injury report with the neck issue. We'll look for further updates on Godwin but won't get Tampa Bay's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET on Sunday. The neck injury adds risk to a guy who only looked like a WR3 anyway.
Update: Godwin did not practice on Friday and is officially listed as questionable.
Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (knee) will play vs. the Commanders this weekend, HC Mike McDaniel said Friday. The rookie shapes up as a risk/reward Week 13 fantasy play. He returned from this knee injury two weeks ago but lasted just three snaps before aggravating the injury. Achane has remained limited in practice this week. That's the downside. The upside? How about 518 total yards and seven TDs in his last three healthy games. Achane's return is just a slight knock against RB Raheem Mostert but knocks RB Jeff Wilson out of RB3 or flex consideration.
Update: Achane was a full participant in Friday's practice and is not listed on the final injury report.
Cowboys RB Tony Pollard was bottled up for most of Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks, totaling just 68 yards on 20 carries (3.4 YPC). But he turned in a solid fantasy outing thanks to a 6-yard score in the third quarter. It was Pollard's third straight game with a TD -- after going eight straight games without one. It's just the latest reminder of the fickle nature of TDs. While Pollard's efficiency remains a concern, his volume and the strength of Dallas' offense should keep him locked into fantasy lineups the rest of the way. Pollard racked up 24 opportunities (20 carries, 4 targets) in Week 13 and has 17+ in four of his last five outings. The Cowboys, meanwhile, look unstoppable at this point, scoring 33+ points in four straight games and five of the last six.
Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba led the team and set a season-high with 11 targets in Thursday night's loss to the Cowboys. He parlayed the volume into seven catches and 62 yards. It looked like he'd have a much bigger night when he hauled in a 30-yard TD late in the first half -- but it was (questionably) ruled incomplete on review. It was still an encouraging game for JSN from a volume perspective, although it was likely at least partly matchup-induced against a Dallas defense tougher against outside WRs than slots. Smith-Njigba will likely remain behind WRs D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett in the pecking order going forward. But the rookie is trending up, with four games of 12+ PPR points over his last seven outings. He'll be a shaky Week 14 fantasy play against a tough 49ers defense that just held him to a 2-41-0 line on Thanksgiving. But Smith-Njigba gets plus matchups the following two weeks against the Eagles and Titans.
Seahawks WR D.K. Metcalf single-handedly won fantasy matchups on Thursday night with a massive 6-134-3 outing. He got going on Seattle's very first possession when he split the seam between two Cowboys defenders and raced to the end zone for a 73-yard score. Metcalf hit 22.23 mph on the play, per Next Gen Stats -- the fastest speed by a ball carrier this season, and flat-out ridiculous for a 235-pounder. Metcalf's other two TDs came from one and three yards out. It was a much-needed scoring binge from a guy who had just three TDs on 43 receptions (7.0%) over his first 10 games. D.K. drew eight targets vs. Dallas, giving him 38 total targets on a 24.5% share over his last four games. Don't expect another outing like this the rest of the way, but Metcalf should stay glued into fantasy lineups going forward. Not only has the volume been strong, but he also gets the single easiest WR schedule from Weeks 14 through 17.
