Saints RB Alvin Kamara, who injured his knee last Sunday, is out for Sunday’s game vs the Dolphins. The Saints are not planning to place him on IR.

Related Players: Devin Neal, Taysom Hill

Neal figures to get the vast majority of the "traditional" RB touches in Week 13, but Taysom also handled ten rush attempts with Kamara's Week 12 injury, so we'd expect him to eat into the workload as well. Neal is a low-upside RB3, while Hill *could* be considered a TE streamer, though there are less thin options on the WW in a week with no byes.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell announced J.J. McCarthy didn't clear concussion protocol and undrafted rookie QB Max Brosmer will start on Sunday at Seattle.

The Seahawks defense could end up feasting in this matchup, making Brosmer an easy fade for Week 13.

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans told reporters that CJ Stroud, who has missed the last three games while in concussion protocol, will start Sunday vs. the Colts.

Related Players: Davis Mills

Mills held down the fort remarkably well, but Stroud looks like he'll be good to go for the rest of the season. He's got a middling matchup against the Colts on Sunday, and should be considered in the QB15 range.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin told reporters that Aaron Rodgers — who missed last week’s game with a fracture in his left wrist — will not have an injury designation for Sunday’s game vs. the Bills and the veteran QB is good to go.

Related Players: Mason Rudolph

The Steelers will look to get back both Rodgers and DK Metcalf, who have both been pretty disappointing for fantasy purposes. Rodgers should be considered in the QB2/3 range, with an inconsistent Metcalf best regarded as a WR3.

Colts coach Shane Steichen told reporters that QB Daniel Jones (fibula) was a full participant in practice again today and is good to go Sunday vs. Houston.

Related Players: Riley Leonard

We'd have to wonder if this fibula injury will impact the moderate upside Jones has shown on the ground through the year. Though his 159 yards rushing are pretty modest, he does have five touchdowns on the season. As for Week 13, he's more of a SuperFlex option against a tough Texans defense.

Giants coach Mike Kafka confirmed QB Jaxson Dart will return to the starting lineup Monday night vs. New England.

Related Players: Jameis Winston

Winston was a lot of fun (as per usual), but Dart's rushing floor makes him a little more exciting for fantasy purposes. Consider him a back-end QB1 against a Patriots defense that has been slowed due to injury as of late.

Commanders HC Dan Quinn ruled out QB Jayden Daniels for Sunday night’s game vs. Denver but expects WR Terry McLaurin to play.

Related Players: Marcus Mariota, Deebo Samuel, Jaylin Lane, Noah Brown

We'll see if McLaurin is on any type of "pitch count", but he could be used as a desperation Flex in the WR4 range. Mariota would be back in streamer range if this weren't the Broncos defense, but as it stands, he's probably below QB20 territory.

Coach Todd Bowles says Baker Mayfield looked good today and trending to start vs. Cardinals.

Related Players: Teddy Bridgewater

Mayfield looked well on his way to an inactive designation this weekend, but things have flipped for the better over the course of the week. If he does end up seeing the field, he's in fringe QB1/2 range against a good Arizona defense.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said TE Darren Waller is possibly in play for activation after one week of practice.

"If there's not a setback, I'm feeling optimistic."

Related Players: Julian Hill

Waller has been a red zone machine in his 3+ games with Miami this season, turning all four of those such targets into touchdowns. He also has a 78-yard game mixed in there for good measure. He is a viable streaming option if he gets the all-clear ahead of Sunday

Bills HC Sean McDermott adds that TE Dalton Kincaid and WR Joshua Palmer will be limited today and questionable for Sunday

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers

Not trending well for Kincaid to return this weekend, but Knox can still be left on waiver wires.

Shakir remains the only reliable option in the passing attack, and should be considered on the WR2/3 fringe in a good matchup against the Steelers' secondary.
