San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle started slowly in his return from injured reserve, putting up an 8-75-1 line in his first three games back. Since Week 10, Kittle turned things around and has averaged seven receptions, 76.3 yards, and one touchdown per game. On Sunday, the 49ers travel to Cleveland to face the Browns, who just allowed a combined 11 catches for 105 yards to the Raiders' tight end group. The forecast in Cleveland calls for strong winds, rain, and snow, which could steer the 49ers into leaning on their run game. Kittle should remain a factor, especially when San Francisco closes in on the end zone. Over the last three weeks, Kittle is tied for the third-most targets and has the fourth-most receptions in the red zone. He projects as a TE1 and can be started in fantasy football lineups in Week 13.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Demarcus Robinson caught his one and only target for an eight-yard gain in Week 12. It was his second straight game with a single reception, bringing the 30-year-old veteran's season-long production to 13 receptions for 163 yards on 23 targets. Even amid the rash of injuries to the 49ers' offense, Robinson failed to make an impact. That is unlikely to change, now that Jauan Jennings, Ricky Pearsall (knee), and George Kittle are all active again. In Week 13, San Francisco is on the road to face the Browns, who have given up the second-fewest receptions and receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025. The forecast in Cleveland calls for 25 MPH winds, rain, and snow, making it unlikely that the 49ers' open up their passing attack and provide Robinson with more work. He can be left off of fantasy football rosters this week.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had another disappointing finish in Week 12, logging two catches for eight yards on three targets. It was another disappointing finish following his one-catch, zero-yard performance in Week 11 after a six-game absence while managing a PCL injury. Now playing with a healthy Jauan Jennings and George Kittle in the lineup and the offense flowing through Christian McCaffrey, Pearsall seems to be the odd man out in the 49ers' passing attack. On Sunday, Pearsall faces a Browns defense that has offered the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game and a weather forecast in Cleveland featuring 25 MPH winds, rain, and snow. With the team trends, matchup, and elements working against Pearsall, he projects as a WR5 in Week 13.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings' touchdown on their opening drive in Week 12 salvaged what would have otherwise been a poor showing. Amid Brock Purdy's (toe) struggles against the Panthers, Jennings finished the game with five catches for 41 yards and the score on seven targets. Jennings now has a touchdown in three of the 49ers' last four games, and has at least four receptions per game going back to Week 7. In Week 13, San Francisco goes to Cleveland to face the Browns, who have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game and second-fewest receptions and receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Further dampening Jennings' prospects on Sunday is the forecasted inclement weather, which is expected to feature winds in excess of 25 MPH, rain, and snow. Fantasy football managers should exercise caution with Jennings, who ranks as a WR4 in Week 13.

San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr.'s fantasy value faces a hard cap in his change-of-pace role behind Christian McCaffrey. With the offense flowing through McCaffrey to the tune of nearly 25 touches per game, on average, those changes of pace are few and far between. To his credit, Robinson has been effective when on the field, logging 4.7 yards per carry in 2025. In Week 13, the 49ers travel to Cleveland to face the Browns. With strong winds, rain, and snow in the forecast, San Francisco will likely lean into the run game, which could provide Robinson a few more opportunities than usual. He can be avoided in most formats, but could be of use in deep leagues on Sunday.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) got the win last Monday against the Panthers but delivered a dud to fantasy football managers. Purdy struggled outside of the short game, delivering just eight passes beyond 10 yards with a result of completion and three interceptions. Purdy insisted in postgame comments that his bout of turf toe was not to blame for his performance, and that his struggles were timing errors. Purdy did practice in full all week and carries no designation for what could be a challenging matchup in Week 13 against the Browns. The Browns, led by pass rusher Myles Garrett, have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Strong winds, snow, and rain are in the forecast for Sunday, making Purdy's job all the more challenging. Purdy projects as a low-end QB2 in Week 13.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey enters Week 13 leading the NFL in touches (298) and second in receptions (81). Amid the 49ers' injury-riddled season, McCaffrey has been relied on heavily to keep the offense moving. Another heavy workload is in store for the ninth-year veteran when San Francisco heads to Cleveland to face the Browns. The weather forecast calls for strong winds, rain, and snow, which points to an emphasis on the ground game. The Browns had been one of the stronger run defenses in the league, though they have softened as of late. Since their Week 9 bye, Cleveland has given up top-12 finishes in three consecutive weeks to running backs Breece Hall, Derrick Henry, and Ashton Jeanty. McCaffrey is a strong candidate to make it four in a row and should be locked into fantasy football starting lineups for Week 13.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver David Sills V caught his first touchdown of the season in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints, finishing with two receptions for 16 yards on three targets. Sills took advantage of superstar wideout Drake London (knee) missing the game, playing 69.6% of the snaps while setting a season high in receiving yards. The production was still modest, but it was positive to see the veteran see usage down near the goal line. London is set to miss at least one more game in Week 13, setting up Sills to see a healthy number of routes again against the New York Jets. The expected volume of routes makes Sills an option in deep leagues for Week 13.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell will look to be more in sync with quarterback Tyrod Taylor in Week 13 against a mercurial Atlanta Falcons defense. Mitchell has seen a solid target share since debuting with the Jets two weeks back, absorbing 24% of the passes thrown between Taylor and Justin Fields. However, the second-year pro connected on only three of his 13 targets (52 yards), despite consistently working open against opposing DBs. While Atlanta's back end is no walk in the park, Mitchell should continue to work in a sort of 1A/1B tandem with teammate John Metchie III, and see enough work to be a decent dart throw for fantasy as New York's offense attempts to gain traction. The Texas native has enough ability as a separator to make an impact, but fantasy managers in shallower leagues may want to give it some more time before slotting him into their lineups. Mitchell is RotoBaller's PPR WR63 ahead of Sunday's bout with the Falcons.

Las Vegas Raiders rookie wide receiver Jack Bech hasn't made an impact this season, recording eight receptions for 92 yards on 12 targets in 11 games. Bech has played just 12.2% of the offensive snaps since the Raiders' Week 8 bye, hauling in one of two targets for 19 yards. The rookie third-rounder's role has surprisingly been reduced even after the team traded away top wideout Jakobi Meyers at the deadline. His role in the offense spiked in Weeks 5-7, playing 63.4% of the snaps and catching five of eight targets for 40 yards, but the rookie hasn't been involved since. The Raiders' offense has been a disaster this season and has resulted in the dismissal of offensive coordinator Chip Kelly earlier this week. Perhaps with a new coach calling plays and in charge of personnel, we will see Bech's playing time tick back up in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He remains just a stash in dynasty leagues for now.

New York Jets running back Isaiah Davis offers little more than handcuff insurance ahead of the team's Week 13 meeting against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. The South Dakota State product encroached on 50% of New York's snaps for a two-game stretch during Weeks 7 and 8. However, he's dipped back down since, failing to eclipse 30% of plays in the three ensuing contests. With backfield mate Breece Hall dominating touches on the ground, and even regaining a role in the passing game - which the 23-year-old had owned for a period of time - Davis boasts no value outside his low-end handcuff status. As it stands, fantasy managers can safely avoid the second-year back, particularly with teammate Braelon Allen's (knee) potential return on the horizon. Davis is RotoBaller's PPR RB57 for Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington has seen a slight uptick in playing time over the past two weeks, playing 69.3% of offensive snaps and recording six receptions on seven targets for 89 yards. Up until that point, Washington was playing 56.9% of snaps and had 14 receptions for 142 yards on 21 targets in nine games. The 24-year-old tight end is an outstanding blocker who has also flashed incredible ball-in-hand ability as a receiver, consistently making defenders look silly when trying to tackle him. Washington has an elite 0.35 missed tackles forced per reception this season, best among all tight ends and tied for second among wide receivers with at least 20 targets this season, per Fantasy Points Data Suite. He doesn't see a ton of targets as the No. 2 tight end option behind Pat Freiermuth, but he has some appeal in deeper leagues in Week 13 against the Buffalo Bills with Aaron Rodgers (wrist) returning.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor has struggled to make an impact in recent weeks and is trending down ahead of a home matchup with the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13. Taylor began the season seemingly on the rise as a highly targeted asset in New York's offense. However, even wide receiver Garrett Wilson's (knee) extended absence hasn't been enough for the rookie to crack the startable options at his position. Wilson may be out with a knee injury, but new teammates Adonai Mitchell and John Metchie III have immediately sucked up a sizable target share as the Jets' attack piles up more competent weapons. Taylor profiles to eventually be a reliable fantasy tight end, but the path to that outcome in 2025 is much more narrow at this time than it was earlier in the campaign. The LSU product is RotoBaller's PPR TE26 for Week 13's clash.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor performed well in his second start of the season last weekend and will try to build off of it against a fickle Atlanta Falcons defense this Sunday. The veteran wasn't exactly a fantasy-viable option in Week 12, although New York's offense encouragingly showed a bit of rhythm for at least one game. Atlanta has been formidable at times this season, affording opposing QBs the eleventh-fewest fantasy points per outing (15.41). Furthermore, their 190.4 passing yards per game allowed is the eighth-best mark in the league. While a porous rush defense may contribute to the overall numbers, it doesn't change Taylor's status as a risky play, making him only a low-ceiling streaming option in superflex/2QB formats. The 36-year-old is RotoBaller's QB26 in Week 13's ranks.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets running back Breece Hall found little room to run against the Ravens in Week 12, although it was inspiring to see him be more involved in the passing game. Hall reeled in all four of his targets for 75 yards - his most looks and receptions in a game since Week 5, and his most receiving yards in a contest all season. Hopefully, the switch to quarterback Tyrod Taylor will produce more outcomes like this over the campaign's final stretch, boosting the fourth-year pro's weekly floor. For Week 13, at least, Hall will be afforded a far more exploitable rush defense in the visiting Atlanta Falcons. On the season, Atlanta has been a favorable matchup for RBs, yielding the fourth-most fantasy points per outing (24.76) and the seventh-most rush yards per game (133.1) to the position. If the 24-year-old can retain his elevated role in the pass attack, he'll be in store for a productive afternoon. Hall is RotoBaller's PPR RB15 ahead of Week 13.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III has garnered an increased role in the team's offense and will look to keep it rolling against the Atlanta Falcons at home in Week 13. Sunday's clash with Atlanta will be the 25-year-old's fourth appearance as a Jet, and third as a starter, accruing greater than 80% of snaps in the previous two contests. Over that time, Metchie III led the team in receiving yards during their loss to New England (45), and posted the most receptions of any Jets' pass-catcher in Week 12 (six). If the offensive attack can remain somewhat competent with quarterback Tyrod Taylor under center, there's hope that Metchie III might boast some decent PPR appeal moving forward. For now, he's a low-end flex play in deep leagues, and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR WR52 for Sunday's meeting with Atlanta.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott (ankle) heads into Sunday night's matchup against the Denver Broncos without an injury designation after missing Week 11 due to an ankle injury. Sinnott hasn't played a big role as a receiver for Washington this season as the third tight end behind Zach Ertz and John Bates, but he could see more opportunities down the stretch with the state of the Commanders' season. The 2024 second-round pick caught his first touchdown of the season the last time he played in Week 10 versus the Detroit Lions. For the season, the 23-year-old has played 28.5% of the snaps on offense with just three receptions (three targets) for 33 yards and a touchdown. Sinnott has shown promise as a blocker, but hasn't flashed much as a receiver yet. He has high-end athletic traits, but hasn't seen many opportunities with Ertz holding down the pass-catching role. Sinnott is still a solid stash in dynasty leagues and will be a player to watch down the stretch.

From RotoBaller

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson does not boast fantasy appeal in Week 13 despite operating as the primary handcuff to backfield mate James Cook. The 28-year-old has actually seen his role in the passing game remain steady since Week 9, collecting at least two targets and receptions over the four-game sample. Still, he's failed to carry the ball more than twice in any game over that stretch, and has done so just twice on the season as a whole, with Cook handily leading the backfield. Furthermore, quarterback Josh Allen has more than tripled Johnson's carry total (70-21), leaving little volume left to go around on the ground. Johnson is worthy of a stash in the deepest of PPR formats for his stable work in the receiving game, but his floor is low, and the ceiling is nearly nonexistent. He's RotoBaller's PPR RB64 ahead of Week 13.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright slid back down the team's backfield hierarchy in Week 11's 16-13 win against the Washington Commanders, handling one tote for a gain of four yards. Wright picked up a decent amount of carries (five) in the game prior, with teammate Ollie Gordon II battling an ankle issue. However, he was back to third in the pecking order, with the latter injury-free, and, for the most part, has played a tertiary role in Miami's attack while dealing with injuries of his own in 2025. With Gordon II working as the primary change-of-pace option, and De'Von Achane dominating touches at the position, Wright can be left to waiver-wire fodder in redraft leagues for the time being.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Kaleb Johnson won't be on the fantasy radar for this weekend's clash with the visiting Buffalo Bills. The former third-round pick has had a quiet rookie season, amassing 58 yards on 22 carries across seven appearances. At the beginning of the campaign, Johnson appeared to be on his way to playing a sizable snap share in a backfield ripe for the taking. That didn't come to fruition, though, as teammates Jaylen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell have formed a formidable duo for the Steelers. Furthermore, opportunities in Pittsburgh are hard to come by, considering the team boasts the third-slowest pace of play (56.7 plays per game). As it stands, the University of Iowa alum is a talented athlete, but his path to playing time -- at least in 2025 -- is less clear than we'd like for fantasy. Either way, he's still a nice stash in dynasty leagues.
