An MRI exam and other tests confirmed that Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) suffered a low-ankle sprain with no structural damage in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The Lions are expecting St. Brown to be able to return relatively quickly, although head coach Dan Campbell said the star wideout could miss one to two weeks. The good news for Detroit is that they will play just one game in the next 16 days on Thursday, Dec. 4, against the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old has been a high-end, must-start WR1 for fantasy managers all year, so the hope is that St. Brown will be in play when the fantasy playoffs begin in most leagues in Week 15. Jameson Williams had his best game of the year (seven catches, 144 yards, one touchdown) after St. Brown got hurt on Thursday, and he should operate as quarterback Jared Goff's top target for however long St. Brown is out.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Kendrick Bourne barely saw any of the field during last week's contest against the Carolina Panthers. The 30-year-old played only nine perfect of the offensive snaps during the Monday night victory. Bourne has been held to one reception for 19 yards in his last three games. The 49ers are healthy enough at wideout right now that Bourne isn't needed on a weekly basis. His playing time is likely only going to increase if someone gets injured. That being said, fantasy managers can leave Bourne on the bench right now. He could be worth stashing in certain formats, but doesn't need to be started in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter figures to remain in the mix for at least one more game. Fellow back Trey Benson (knee) is working his way back in the mix, but has been ruled out for the Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That being said, Bam Knight figures to operate as the lead back with Carter getting mixed in as well. Last week, Carter rushed the ball five times for 28 yards in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He should once again see a handful of carries this weekend, but should fall to RB3 duties once Benson returns. Fantasy managers are unlikely to get much out of Carter after this weekend.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. continued his productive rookie season with a four-catch, 40-yard performance in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Fannin will now look to keep it going in Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been a decent matchup for tight ends this season, allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. Fannin has been one of Cleveland's most reliable pass catchers this season and should remain one of the team's top targets in Week 13, setting him up as a low-end TE2 heading into Sunday's games.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. has barely been used in the offensive gameplan over the last few weeks. Mims has seen one target over his last three games and hasn't hauled in a pass since Week 7. That being said, Mims isn't someone worth targeting ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The 23-year-old currently sits as the fourth wideout on this depth chart, which isn't offering fantasy value right now. He's young enough that he's worth stashing in dynasty leagues, but Mims appears to be a safe drop candidate in redraft formats ahead of Week 13.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) practiced fully on Friday after being limited on Wednesday and Thursday and is listed without an injury designation heading into Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Njoku will look to erase memories of Week 12, which saw him go without a target while playing on 49% of the team's offensive snaps. The veteran tight end has now drawn just four total targets across his past three games as the Browns continue to look away from him when they drop back to pass. The 49ers are allowing the 13th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends this season but Njoku can't be trusted in fantasy given his current role in the Browns' offense.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman turned in a slow outing in Week 12 despite a plus matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders, catching just one of his three targets for five yards. Tillman will look to bounce back at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 49ers have been generous to wide receivers this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position thus far. That being said, Tillman was unable to take advantage of an even better matchup against the Raiders last week, so this week's plus matchup doesn't necessarily make him a must-start. Tillman settles in as a boom/bust WR5 who is safe to leave on fantasy benches this weekend.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III hasn't been much of a factor in the offense throughout most of the season. In fact, Austin has been held to 56 receiving yards or less in every game besides two this season. Last week, Austin hauled in four of his five targets for 36 yards in the loss to the Chicago Bears. At this point in the season, it seems unlikely that Austin is going to be anything more than a low-end flex option in deep leagues. The 26-year-old is worth holding in dynasty formats, but isn't someone that needs to be started in redraft formats against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond turned in a surprisingly productive performance in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, catching both of his targets for 58 yards. Bond did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception from Shedeur Sanders in the contest, his first catch since October 12 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie will now look to keep it going at home against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 49ers have struggled against the pass this season, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That being said, the Cleveland passing offense has not shown enough consistency to be trusted in fantasy. Bond sets up as a boom/bust low-end flex option if you are desperate this weekend.

Washington Commanders kicker Jake Moody is set to make his team debut in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos. Moody signed with Washington on November 18, following the team's release of Matt Gay. The 26-year-old Moody began the season with the San Francisco 49ers, but was cut after missing two field goal attempts in Week 1. Moody was then signed to the Chicago Bears practice squad and appeared in two games, making eight of nine attempts, which includes a game-winning kick against the Commanders in Week 6. Moody will hope to carry over that success in Washington and establish himself as a reliable kicker after being selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. He is a risky option in Week 13 as Washington faces an elite defense in the Denver Broncos.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers gave fantasy managers a goose egg during last week's game against the Houston Texans. That was a tough blow to fantasy managers who thought Shavers would be a viable option after posting a 90-yard performance in Week 11. Outside of his outburst against Tampa Bay, Shavers has been a non-factor in the offense all season long. The 26-year-old wasn't targeted at all during last week's game against Houston. It seems safe for fantasy managers in redraft formats to move on from Shavers and consider his 90-yard performance a fluke.

Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson turned in one of his team's best plays in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders when he hauled in a 66-yard touchdown pass from Shedeur Sanders in the fourth quarter. While he hasn't seen a consistent workload this season, Sampson has shown chops in the passing game, catching 23 passes for 195 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. In Week 13, Sampson will look to stay hot at home against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been solid against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs. While not a safe fantasy play, Sampson sets up as an RB5 with some flex appeal for Week 13's matchup.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has recorded exactly four receptions in four games in a row and continues to be a solid contributor in his age-35 season. Since recording zero receptions in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time in a game since 2014, Ertz has collected 25 receptions (36 targets) for 238 yards and two touchdowns. His 25 receptions are tied for the 12th most among tight ends during that span. The veteran hasn't found the end zone since Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, and remains a lower-ceiling fantasy option due to his lack of explosiveness, but he has a stable floor as a reliable option in Washington's passing attack. Ertz has a tough matchup in Week 13 against an elite Denver Broncos defense and ranks as RotoBaller's TE17 in PPR leagues.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders will make his second career start in a Week 13 home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Sanders looked decent in Week 12's win over the Las Vegas Raiders, completing 11 of his 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He will look to build upon that encouraging debut in Week 13 against a 49ers defense that is allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. While Sanders looked more competent than Dillon Gabriel under center, he is still tough to trust in single-quarterback fantasy leagues and is best left on the bench for Week 13's matchup.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb continues to play a reduced role in the team's backfield, which keeps him from being a good fantasy play in most formats this week. Chubb has only totaled 14 rushing attempts in his last three games for a total of 80 yards, along with two catches for only four receiving yards. He has played under 30% of his team's offensive snaps in each of his last three weeks as well, as the team leans more heavily on rookie Woody Marks. Chubb's fantasy value is extremely touchdown-dependent, which is not usually a good thing since he hasn't found the end zone since Week 5 against the Ravens. He's only the RB57 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he should be left on the bench or waiver wire in most formats.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has been unable to find much success over the last few weeks. Jeudy has been held to 39 receiving yards or fewer in four of his last five games. The hope was that Jeudy would see increased value with Shedeur Sanders under center. That wasn't the case as Jeudy hauled in one of his three targets for 39 yards last week. It won't get any easier for Jeudy with a matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. The 26-year-old should be viewed as a low-end flex option in deep leagues.

Washington Commanders rookie wide receiver Jaylin Lane (hip) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a hip injury, but was upgraded to full on Friday and heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation. Lane suffered the injury during Washington's Week 11 loss to the Miami Dolphins, but had the bye week to recover and is good to go for Sunday. The rookie fourth-rounder has been forced into more action on offense than expected this season with Washington being ravaged by injury at wide receiver. The speedy rookie has recorded a reception in all 11 games this season, totaling 16 catches for 225 yards on 30 targets. He had the longest catch of his career with a 41-yard gain on a deep ball from Marcus Mariota in Week 10 against the Lions. However, he figures to slide back into a depth role in Week 13 against the Broncos with Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) and Treylon Burks (finger) both returning.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins had a very quiet week last week against the Bills, catching three passes for 55 yards in his team's big upset victory. He only had three targets, which was a sharp drop-off after double-digit targets in each of his previous four games. This week, he'll get starting QB C.J. Stroud back from a concussion, which raises his ceiling and gives the entire offense more upside than with Davis Mills. Collins has totaled 52 catches for just under 700 yards in 10 games, and he'll look to take advantage of a favorable matchup against the Colts, who rank in the top 10 this season in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Collins has a very high ceiling, but Stroud could be a little rusty after three weeks off, so there are also some risk factors to consider. He's the No. 11 WR in RotoBaller's rankings for this week, making him a starter in almost all formats, even though he isn't quite a top-10 option at the position after last week's down game and with Stroud ramping back up.

From RotoBaller

Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins turned in a strong effort in a Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, rushing for two touchdowns, although he finished with just 47 yards on 16 carries. Judkins will look to find the end zone again in Week 13's home matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers have been tough against the run this season, allowing just the 19th-most fantasy points per game to running backs thus far this season. Judkins has seven touchdowns in 10 games for the Browns this season but has seen his ceiling capped by a scuffling offense. He sets up as a low-end RB2 in Week 13.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet led the team in receiving on a day in which both running backs D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai went over 100 rushing yards apiece with two rushing touchdowns in a 24-15 win over the hosting Philadelphia Eagles on Friday. Kmet caught all three of his targets on the day for only 36 yards and his second touchdown of the year. Second-year quarterback Caleb Williams only threw for 154 yards as the Bears leaned heavily on the run against Philly. The 26-year-old Kmet's touchdown reception came on a 28-yard strike for the team's only passing TD of the game. It was nice to see Kmet find the end zone again, but rookie first-rounder Colston Loveland (who had three catches for 28 yards in the game) remains the more attractive upside stash in most fantasy leagues for the rest of the season. Kmet has more than one catch in just two of the last seven games.
