Brown comes up huge Week 13
It was a long week, but hopefully a good one for your fantasy teams. Every team played and the games were spread out throughout the week. The good news is we had some big scores along the way. The only bad news was some high-priced recievers had off weeks. This caused for some headaches. But hopefully, the rest of your players made up for that in Week 13.
Packers 31, Lions 24
Fantasy Stud: Jordan Love. Love had a huge game, going 18-of-30 for 234 yards and four touchdowns without a turnover. He scored 28.1 fantasy points. It was a big turnaround for Love, who had fewer than 20 points four straight games before this one. This was a welcome sight for all his fantasy owners.
Fantasy Dud: Jahmyr Gibbs. Gibbs was pretty quiet for his standards, especially if you consider his game last week. He ran 20 times for just 68 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards, giving him 86 total yards. You just expect better from Gibbs, who has been a little more up and down than you would like in recent weeks.
Game Notes: Amon-Ra St. Brown suffered an ankle injury and left the game early. There are reports he could miss multiple weeks because of the injury.
Jameson Williams had seven receptions for 144 yards and a touchdown. He excelled as the top target in this offense once St. Brown got hurt.
Cowboys 31, Chiefs 28
Fantasy Stud: Rashee Rice. Rice had eight receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown. He scored a season-high 29.4 fantasy points. Rice has at least 18 fantasy points all but a game this year. He is producing as well as any receiver in the game right now. If you project his numbers over a full season, Rice has 119 receptions for 1,377 yards and 15 total touchdowns.
Fantasy Dud: Kareem Hunt. There were not many fantasy duds in this one, but Hunt didn’t produce like he had been lately. He had scores four straight games but was held out of the end zone. He had 80 total yards and finished with nine fantasy points. It was not a good fantasy day for Hunt.
Game Notes: Isiah Pacheco returned to the lineup but took a backseat to Hunt. He ran three times for 16 yards and caught two passes for 17 yards.
Patrick Mahomes had his third four-touchdown game of the season. He was 23-of-34 for 261 yards and four touchdowns without a turnover.
Bengals 32, Ravens 14
Fantasy Stud: Chase Brown. Brown continues to play at a very high level. He didn’t score a touchdown, but ran 15 times for 78 yards and caught seven passes for 35 yards. He had 113 total yards. He scored 18.3 fantasy points, giving him 15-plus points five straight games. Brown has quickly made up from a slow start to his season.
Fantasy Dud: Lamar Jackson. Jackson had his third straight brutal game for fantasy owners. He threw for 246 yards but didn’t score a touchdown and turned the ball over three times. Jackson managed just 12 fantasy points. He has fewer than 20 fantasy points four straight games and less than 13 points three straight. Jackson just isn’t getting it done at all for fantasy teams, mainly because he hasn’t scored a rushing touchdown since Week 1 and has fewer than 50-rushing yards all but a game.
Game Notes: Derrick Henry scored a touchdown for the third straight game. He rushed 10 times for 60 yards and a score.
Joe Burrow looked great in his first game back from his toe injury. He was 24-of-46 for 261 yards and two touchdowns without a turnover.
Bears 24, Eagles 15
Fantasy Stud: A.J. Brown. Brown had an absolutely huge performance in defeat, catching 10 passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns. He carried fantasy teams to wins, scoring 35.2 fantasy points. Brown has 25-plus points two straight games. He is starting to show some more consistency, which is a welcome sight for his fantasy owners.
Fantasy Dud: Saquon Barkley. Barkley had yet another very disappointing fantasy performance. He ran 13 times for 56 yards and didn’t have a single reception. He scored just 5.6 fantasy points, his second-lowest total of the season. Barkley has four games with fewer than double-digit fantasy points and hasn’t topped 13 points in a game since Week 8. Barkley might be the biggest disappointment in all of fantasy right now, especially if you consider what he did last year.
Game Notes: Both D’Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai hit the 100-yard rushing mark. Swift ran 18 times for 125 yards and a touchdown. Monangai had 22 carries for 130 yards and a touchdown.
D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze combined for 4 receptions for just 25 yards. The run-heavy approach limited the opportunities for both of the Bears top receivers in this game.
Panthers 31, Rams 28
Fantasy Stud: Davante Adams. Adams continues to find the end zone on a weekly basis. He scored two more times, catching four passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns. He scored 21.8 fantasy points. Adams has touchdowns six straight games and four of those are multiple touchdown performances. Adams has 14 touchdowns on the season.
Fantasy Dud: Rico Dowdle. Dowdle got more work this week but didn’t lead the team in carries. He had 18 carries for yards and caught two passes for 21 yards. Dowdle failed to hit double-digit fantasy points for the first time since Week 8. He has failed to find the end zone three straight games.
Game Notes: Bryce Young had a great performance. He missed on just five passes, going 15-of-20 for 206 yards and three touchdowns without a turnover.
Blake Corum led the Rams in rushing, running seven times for 81 yards and a touchdown. Kyren Williams also had a good game, rushing 13 times for 72 yards and a touchdown.
Bucs 20, Cardinals 17
Fantasy Stud: Trey McBride. McBride had another one of his huge games, continuing to produce huge with Jacoby Brissett as his starting quarterback. McBride had eight receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown. McBride had 22.2 fantasy points. He has 20-plus points three of four games and five of seven.
Fantasy Dud: Baker Mayfield. Mayfield was able to play with his sprained shoulder and didn’t seem limited, but didn’t help fantasy teams despite his team’s win. He threw for just 194 yards and a touchdown. Mayfield scored just 16.4 fantasy points, giving him fewer than 20 fantasy points two straight and four of six games.
Game Notes: Bucky Irvin returned and got a ton of work at running back. He ran 17 times for 61 yards and a touchdown. He also caught two passes for 20 yards.
Marvin Harrison played his first game since having his appendix removed and looked good. He had six receptions for 69 yards.
49ers 26, Browns 8
Fantasy Stud: Christian McCaffrey. There was not much offense in this game but McCaffrey had his usual good showing. He ran 20 times for 53 yards and a touchdown. McCaffrey also had four receptions for 21 yards. So despite being held in check a little for his standards, McCaffrey still managed 17.4 fantasy points. If this is his fantasy floor, fantasy teams have to be pretty happy.
Fantasy Dud: Ricky Pearsall. Pearsall continues to do very little. He had two receptions for 14 yards. In three games since returning from injury, Pearsall has five receptions for 20 yards on nine targets. He is unusable right now for fantasy owners.
Game Notes: Shedeur Sanders had a ho-hum showing in a starting role once again, going 16-of-25 for 149 yards and a touchdown without a turnover.
Quinshon Judkins topped 100 total yards, finishing with 109 yards. He ran 23 times for 91 yards and caught three passes for 18 yards.
Texans 20, Colts 16
Fantasy Stud: Alec Pierce. Pierce had four receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown. Pierce rebounded from a one-catch game with a 17.8 point performance. He has 17-plus points three of four games and is becoming a solid starting receiver for fantasy teams. He is having a breakout season.
Fantasy Dud: Woody Marks. Marks led the team in carries and played pretty well but missed out on two rushing touchdowns. If he gets one of those, he has a decent fantasy performance. He didn’t, though. Marks ran 19 times for 64 yards and caught a pass for three yards. Marks scored just 7.7 fantasy points, giving him fewer than nine points three straight games.
Game Notes: C.J. Stroud returned from his concussion and played a solid game despite not scoring a touchdown. He was 22-of-35 for 276 yards with an interception.
It was revealed this week that Daniel Jones had a broken leg but will continue to play. He looked pretty good this week, going 14-of-27 for 201 yards and touchdowns without a turnover.
Dolphins 21, Saints 17
Fantasy Stud: Devaughn Vele. Vele had his best game of the season, finishing with eight receptions for 93 yards and a touchdown. He did not have more than 40 yards in a game all season before this one. He finished with 23.3 fantasy points. Vele has been targeted 15 times his last two games, becoming a much bigger part of the Saints offense.
Fantasy Dud: Tua Tagovailoa. Tagovailoa failed to score a touchdown. He threw for just 157 yards, scoring just 7.35 fantasy points. He has less than nine fantasy points two straight and hasn’t been over 15 points since Week 8. He has not helped fantasy much at all this year.
Game Notes: Devon Achane reached the 100-yard mark for the third straight game. He ran 22 times for 134 yards and a touchdown. He is over 1,000-rushing yards for the season.
Darren Waller returned from his pectoral injury and had two receptions for 47 yards. He led the Dolphins in receiving yards.
Jets 27, Falcons 24
Fantasy Stud: Bijan Robinson. Robinson carries the Falcons offense. He ran 23 times for 142 yards and a touchdown. Robinson also had five receptions for 51 yards, giving him 193 total yards. Robinson scored 30.3 fantasy points. He has 30-plus points two of three games and hit that mark three times total this year.
Fantasy Dud: Darnell Mooney. Mooney came back down to earth after his best game of the season last week. He had just two receptions for 25 yards. Mooney has more than 50 yards just two times all season. He is a hard fantasy player to trust - even with Drake London sidelined.
Game Notes: Adonai Mitchell had his first 100-yard game of the season. He had eight receptions for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.
Kyle Pitts scored 15.2 fantasy points, his second-highest total of the season. He had seven receptions for 82 yards.
Jaguars 25, Titans 3
Fantasy Stud: Jakobi Meyers. Meyers was the leading receiver for the Jags, catching six passes for 90 yards and a touchdown. He scored 21.3 fantasy points. Meyers has scores two straight and at least 11 fantasy points three straight with the Jaguars. He is becoming the top target in this offense.
Fantasy Dud: Travis Etienne. Etienne ran 12 times for just 23 yards and caught a pass for 13 yards. This was his worst fantasy game of the season, scoring just 5.1 points. You just didn’t see this coming in what seemed a favorable matchup. Plus, he had at least 15 points four straight games.
Game Notes: Brenton Strange scored his first touchdown of the season. He had three receptions for 45 yards and a score.
Brian Thomas returned from his ankle injury and had two receptions for 28 yards. He looked healthy and should continue to see his playing time increase going forward.
Seahawks 26, Vikings 0
Fantasy Stud: Seahawks defense. Seattle was dominant on the defensive side of the ball. The Seahawks got a shutout and turned the Vikings over five times (four interceptions and a fumble recovery). Seattle held Minnesota to just 162 total yards of offense and returned one of the interceptions for a touchdown. It was quite the performance from the Seahawks defense.
Fantasy Dud: Justin Jefferson. It was a new starting quarterback but the same old bad production from the position, which was not good news for Jefferson. He had two receptions for just four yards, posting maybe the worst game of his entire career. He scored just 2.4 fantasy points, giving him less than double-digit fantasy points two straight and three of four games.
Game Notes: Max Brosmer had one of the worst first NFL starts in recent memory. He was 19-of-30 for 126 yards with four interceptions.
A new quarterback was a positive for tight end T.J. Hockenson, who had six receptions for 59 yards. He had double-digit fantasy points for just the third time this season.
Chargers 31, Raiders 14
Fantasy Stud: Brock Bowers. Bowers had another big game, catching four passes for 63 yards and two touchdowns. He provided much of the offense for the Raiders in this one. Bowers scored 22.3 fantasy points. It was his second game this season with 20-plus fantasy points.
Fantasy Dud: Justin Herbert. Herbert was banged up in this game, hurting his non-throwing hand. He left the game but returned. He didn’t play badly but didn’t produce for fantasy teams. Herbert was 15-of-20 for 151 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. Herbert scored just 15.35 fantasy points. He has really disappointed fantasy owners in recent weeks, having fewer than 17 points three straight.
Game Notes: Kimani Vidal had his third 100-yard rushing game of the season. He rushed 25 times for 126 yards and a touchdown.
Ashton Jeanty was held to 31-rushing yards, running 15 times for 31 yards. He did have six receptions, helping his fantasy production despite poor rushing totals.
Bills 26, Steelers 7
Fantasy Stud: James Cook. Cook had his second straight 100-yard rushing game and seventh of the season. He ran 32 times for 144 yards and caught three passes for 33 yards. Cook scored 19.7 fantasy points, giving him 19-plus points three straight games. He is having another big season for fantasy owners.
Fantasy Dud: Josh Allen. Allen was pretty mediocre once again, giving him two straight poor fantasy games. He threw for just 123 yards but scored two touchdowns, including one rushing score. Allen finished with just 18.95 fantasy points. You just expect much better from your elite, No. 1 fantasy quarterback. Two straight games with fewer than 19 points at this time of year is not ideal.
Game Notes: Aaron Rodgers got banged up again in this game but played much of the game. He was not too effective, though, going 10-of-21 for 117 yards without a touchdown.
Keon Coleman returned to the lineup but had just two receptions for nine yards. The good news is one of his catches was for a touchdown.
Broncos 27, Commanders 26
Fantasy Stud: Marcus Mariota. Mariota played a great game against maybe the best defense in football. It was an impressive performance, finishing 28-of-50 for 294 yards and two touchdowns with an interception. He also led the team in rushing, running 10 times for 55 yards. Mariota scored a season-high 27.2 fantasy points. Mariota has 20-plus fantasy points two of his last three games.
Fantasy Dud: Troy Franklin. Franklin had a poor showing in a game the Broncos had a lot of success throwing the ball. He had just two receptions for 21 yards on three targets. He scored 4.1 fantasy points. Franklin had double-digit fantasy points two straight and four of his last five games before this showing.
Game Notes: Zach Ertz hit double-digit receptions for the first time this season. He finished with 10 receptions for 106 yards on 13 targets.
Terry McLaurin finally returned to the lineup and had a big game. He had seven receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown.

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III may have been a disappointment for fantasy in Week 13, but he's still trending positively with the team's offensive attack finally gaining some traction in the campaign. The 25-year-old continued his heavy utilization in New York's 27-24 home win over the Atlanta Falcons, nabbing 4-of-8 passes for 19 yards. It isn't what managers expected, particularly after Metchie III strung together two double-digit fantasy-point outings. Even with the down game, though, the usage was there, and veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor has been a decent boost for the Jets' offense, making the former Houston Texan a decent prospective waiver claim. Teammate Garrett Wilson (knee) may return in two weeks, but Metchie III looks to be carving out a solid role with his new team. He'll get the Dolphins at home in Week 14.

Minnesota Vikings running back Jordan Mason has recorded single-digit touches in each of his last four games. However, the 26-year-old may step into a much more prominent role going forward after fellow Vikings back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) suffered a shoulder injury during the team's Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Across the four games that Jones Sr. missed earlier this season with a hamstring injury, Mason recorded 301 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns on 66 touches. Minnesota's offense as a whole has spiraled downwards in recent weeks, recording six points combined over its last two games. However, Minnesota could get quarterback J.J. McCarthy (concussion) back in Week 14, and the Vikings have a far more favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders. If Jones Sr. is forced to miss time, Mason would have starting fantasy appeal in Week 14. He's worth targeting on the waiver wire even if more clarity around Jones Sr.'s status does not come until later in the week.
From RotoBaller
Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten recorded his fifth touchdown of the season in his team's Week 13 win over the Tennessee Titans, but he recorded just 19 scrimmage yards on nine touches. After his breakout 74-yard game in Week 11, Tuten has now been held under 20 scrimmage yards in back-to-back weeks. The 23-year-old has flashed upside throughout the year, but he remains firmly behind Travis Etienne Jr. in the Jaguars backfield pecking order. Still, Tuten has scored three touchdowns in his last five games and would immediately profile as a must-start fantasy running back if Etienne Jr. were to suffer an injury. Tuten's standalone value is as a low-end flex, at best. However, he's worth targeting on the waiver wire as a priority handcuff option heading into Jacksonville's Week 14 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight recorded 98 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on 14 touches in his team's Week 13 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Knight has now recorded double-digit touches in five out of his last six games and scored a touchdown in each of the last three weeks. Arizona should get running backs Trey Benson (knee) and Emari Demercado (ankle) back from injury in the coming weeks, which will likely impact Knight's playing time. However, neither back is guaranteed to play in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Rams. Even if one or both of Benson and Demercado return, Knight may have done enough in their absence to remain in a flex-worthy role. The 24-year-old has proven capable as both a rusher and receiver, hauling in 11 catches on 12 targets over his last three games. In fantasy leagues where he's still available, Knight is a must-add waiver-wire running back heading into Week 14.
From RotoBaller
Chicago Bears rookie running back Kyle Monangai delivered a statement performance in his team's massive Week 13 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, recording 130 rushing yards and a touchdown on 22 carries. Monangai has been stealing touches away from veteran Bears back D'Andre Swift for multiple weeks, but Week 13 may signal a more permanent shift in the Chicago backfield. Monangai has now earned more carries than Swift in back-to-back weeks, although it's worth noting that Swift also dominated against Philadelphia with 125 rushing yards and a touchdown on 18 attempts. Monangai's ceiling is limited by his lack of receiving work, as he's failed to record a catch in three out of his last four games. Still, the rookie is averaging 4.9 yards per carry this season and appears to be emerging as the lead rusher in an increasingly impressive Chicago offense. Monangai is a must-add player off the waiver wire in fantasy leagues where he remains available heading into a Week 14 showdown against the Green Bay Packers.
From RotoBaller
New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell had a breakout game in his team's Week 13 win over the Atlanta Falcons, recording eight catches for 102 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. Since being acquired by the Jets in early November, Mitchell has established himself as a key piece in the team's offense. Across his last three games, the 23-year-old has earned 25 targets. Mitchell has also played at least 85% of New York's offensive snaps in each of the last two weeks. With star Jets wideout Garrett Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve through at least Week 14, Mitchell should continue to have opportunities to contribute. Mitchell should be a priority target on the waiver wire for fantasy managers heading into his Week 14 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) has been diagnosed with a metacarpal fracture in his left hand, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Herbert suffered the fracture during his team's Week 13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and was able to finish the game after a brief absence. Rapoport reports that Herbert is scheduled to undergo surgery, but that the plan is for him to be active for the Chargers' Week 14 Monday Night Football matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Herbert completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 151 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception against Las Vegas. If Herbert were to suffer a setback or be unable to play in Week 14, backup quarterback Trey Lance would be in line to start for the Chargers against the Eagles. For now, fantasy managers should proceed as though Herbert will play, although he likely won't be at full strength.

Michigan Sports Writer Dave Birkett reported that Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell spoke on Costa & Jansen with Heather on 97.1 The Ticket and said that Amon-Ra St. Brown's (ankle) availability vs. Dallas, he probably won't know till gameday or the day before. St Brown suffered a tough ankle injury early in Week 13's contest against the Green Bay Packers and did not return, as the Lions went on to lose 31-24 and are now a few games out of first place in the NFC North. The Lions' star receiver has been a rock for this team and city over the past few seasons, and his absence will undoubtedly hurt the team's chances of being at the top of their game. The Cowboys (6-5-1) are also coming off back-to-back wins against the Philadelphia Eagles (8-3) and the Kansas City Chiefs (6-6), and are looking to make a strong push in the NFC, so with the Lions sitting at (7-5), this matchup in Week 14 is massive between the two squads fighting for a Wild Card spot. Fantasy managers with St. Brown will want to keep their eyes on his progress throughout the week. If he can't go, Jameson Williams would operate as the Lions' No. 1 receiver, and Isaac TeSlaa could be a sneaky play in Week 14.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson gave his Packers fans and his fantasy managers something to cheer about on Thanksgiving Day, as he hauled in four of his 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. The 10 targets were the most he has seen all season, and with the Packers desperately looking for a No. 1 wide receiver to help out sixth-year quarterback Jordan Love, Watson stepped up in a big way in Week 13. Wastson started the season on the Injured Reserve; however, since being activated in Week 8, he has produced 363 receiving yards, hauled in 21 receptions, and scored three touchdowns. As the weeks have progressed, and Watson has continued to ramp up, he has become the clear go-to target for Love with Tucker Kraft (knee) out for the rest of the season. If Watson is on your waiver wire, he is a must-add in all formats and can be started in your lineups moving forward as a low-end WR2/flex play. Outside of a Week 15 matchup with the Denver Broncos, he gets some solid matchups against the Chicago Bears and the Baltimore Ravens for the rest of the fantasy season.
From RotoBaller
Los Angeles Rams second-year running back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, had himself a fantastic Week 13 with 81 rushing yards (11.57 YPC) on 11 carries and a touchdown. More importantly for Corum fantasy owners, Kyren Williams left the game for a bit with an ankle injury. However, he eventually returned, scored a touchdown, and finished with 13 carries on the afternoon, nearly doubling Corum in total touches. Regardless, it's difficult to ignore Corum's production on Sunday, combined with the fact that since Week 7, he has seen at least seven carries and played between 28 and 40 percent of the snaps during that stretch, which is more than last year or anytime earlier in this season. Corum remains one of, if not the best, handcuffs in fantasy football. If Williams were to miss time, Corum would immediately become a top-20 running back on one of, if not the best, offenses in the NFL in 2025.
From RotoBaller
Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. continues to lead the Commanders in running back touches in Week 13's 27-26 loss to the Denver Broncos with 11 carries. Backfield mates Jeremy McNichols had six, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt only had four. Rodriguez has clearly cemented himself as the running back to own in this Commanders backfield, as over the last two games, he has earned 26 carries, rushed for 120 yards, and scored two touchdowns on the ground. Moving forward, not only is he the only Commander running back that can be started in fantasy football, but he can confidently be started as an RB3 or flex play in deeper leagues. As we take a look at the next few weeks, Rodriguez gets matchups with the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and Dallas Cowboys in three of the next four weeks, all matchups that are far better than what he faced on Sunday Night Football against the Broncos, in which he still scored over 10 fantasy points. Rodriguez is a must-add off the waiver wire and can be plugged into lineups if you have players who are going on a bye in Week 14 or are dealing with multiple injuries in your lineups.

Arizona Cardinals second-year running back out of Florida State, Trey Benson (knee), was close to returning in Week 13, but was ruled out on Friday after participating in practice for the second straight week. It was frustrating news for fantasy managers, as most owners were expecting Benson back by now, and had been holding him on their Injured Reserve spot since Week 5. With Week 14 being the last week of the fantasy football regular season in many leagues, fantasy managers will be tasked with the tough decision of playing Trey Benson if he's active, which most signs point to being the case. Suppose Benson has been dropped to the waiver wire in your leagues. In that case, he is a priority add heading into the last few weeks of the fantasy season, as he looked sharp before his injury (5.52 YPC) and was drafted in the third round of the 2024 draft to be James Connor's (foot) eventual replacement. Additionally, Bam Knight (3.45 YPC) and Michael Carter (3.04 YPC) haven't done enough to earn the starting role once Benson is healthy and cleared to return, making Benson a lower-end RB2 when he does return.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) had six catches for 69 yards on seven targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Harrison quickly reasserted himself as the No. 1 wide receiver in the Cardinals' offense in his first game back from his appendectomy surgery by hauling in three catches on the opening drive. The 23-year-old will have all eyes on him the rest of the season as fantasy managers hope to see the former Ohio State superstar break out with Jacoby Brissett under center. Brissett has managed to take the Cardinals' passing attack to the next level during Harrison's absence. According to the Cardinals, Harrison left the game in the second half due to a heel injury and was unable to return. If Harrison can play in Week 14, he should be viewed as a WR2 in a home rivalry matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals running back Michael Carter had five carries for 17 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Carter also had five catches for 47 yards on six targets. The 26-year-old was able to get involved in the passing game in Sunday's matchup to stay fantasy relevant in Half-PPR and Full-PPR leagues. Week 13 marked the first time Carter had gotten double-digit touches in a game since Week 6. Carter's fantasy value will be left up in the air with Trey Benson (knee) potentially coming off injured reserve and Emari Demercado (ankle) potentially returning in Week 14. If Benson or Demercado returns, Carter will fall to RB3 duties in the Cardinals offense.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch had two catches for 14 yards on two targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. The 27-year-old had seen 15 targets in his previous two games. Dortch was the odd man out of the Cardinals' passing attack in Marvin Harrison Jr.'s first game back from his appendectomy surgery. With Harrison's return, the Cardinals' pass-catching room has become crowded with over five different receiving options for quarterback Jacoby Brissett to get the ball to. Dortch will be a touchdown-dependent flex option in deeper leagues heading into a difficult Week 14 matchup against rival Los Angeles Rams.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson had three catches for 36 yards on seven targets in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. The 25-year-old came falling back to earth on Sunday after having two outerworldly performances in his previous two games. Wilson took a statistical back seat to Marvin Harrison Jr. in his first game back after his appendectomy surgery. Harrison almost doubled up Wilson in catches and receiving yards on Sunday. However, quarterback Jacoby Brissett did keep his eyes out for Wilson throughout the game and forced a couple of targets Wilson's direction in key situations. Brissett and Wilson have a connection worth keeping an eye on, even with Harrison back in the fold. Wilson should remain a flex option in a pass-heavy offense despite heading into a tough Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight had 11 carries for 62 yards in Sunday's crushing 20-17 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Knight also had three catches for 36 yards with a receiving touchdown on three targets. The 24-year-old put together his best performance of the season by earning season highs in rushing yards, yards per carry, receiving yards, and his first receiving touchdown this season. Knight's performance came after being a limited participant in practice every day this week due to a knee issue. Despite having his best game this season, Knight's role in the offense will be cloudy heading into Week 14, with the potential of Trey Benson (knee) returning from injured reserve looming.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns running back Quinshon Judkins carried the ball 23 times for 91 yards while catching all three of his targets for 18 yards and rushing for a two-point conversion in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Judkins continued to dominate the Cleveland backfield as Dylan Sampson got just four carries and was the only other running back to take a handoff for the Browns. Judkins has been excellent in his rookie season, rushing for 758 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games thus far. He will be a low-end RB1 in fantasy in Week 14's home game against the Tennessee Titans.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught three of his four targets for 26 yards in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. Jeudy had a chance for a bigger game as he got open behind the San Francisco defense in the first quarter but was overthrown by Shedeur Sanders. The veteran wideout is turning in a disappointing season, catching just 35 passes for 421 yards and one touchdown across 12 games. Hard to trust in fantasy leagues going forward, Jeudy will look to get on track in Week 14's home matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. turned in a productive game in a 26-8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, catching three of his five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown. Fannin provided one of the few bright spots on offense for the Browns when he hauled in a 34-yard touchdown from Shedeur Sanders in the second quarter. The rookie tight end continues to produce for Cleveland as he has 51 receptions for 505 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games this season. Looking like a high-end TE2 in fantasy for the rest of the way, Fannin will try to stay hot against the Tennessee Titans at home in Week 14.
