Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. We don’t have a timetable for his return, but it wouldn’t be at all surprising if he misses multiple games. Dobbins’ absence figures to leave Gus Edwards as Los Angeles’ lead runner this weekend, but he’ll cede passing-down work to RBs Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal.
Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (Achilles) was left off the final Week 13 injury report. He was limited on Wednesday, a full-go on Thursday, and then took a rest day on Friday. Barring further updates, expect Mooney to play his usual role against the Chargers on Sunday.
Falcons WR Drake London (hip) is not listed on the final Week 13 injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited in practice but returned to a full workout on Friday. London should be ready for his typical role against the Chargers this weekend.
Falcons K Younghoe Koo (hip) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Chargers. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but put in a full practice on Friday. That should have Koo in line to play on Sunday, but he’s not a great fantasy bet against a Chargers team ranked second in adjusted fantasy points allowed to Ks.
Raiders RB Alexander Mattison (ankle) is inactive for today's game vs. the Chiefs. With RB Zamir White (quad) also out, Vegas is again down to RBs Ameer Abdullah, Sincere McCormick, and Dylan Laube. Abdullah dominated playing time last week with an 89% snap rate, tallying eight carries and six targets. But Raiders HC Antonio Pierce has talked up a bigger role for McCormick this week. This is ultimately a backfield to try to avoid against Kansas City's top-ranked RB defense.
Panthers TE Ja’Tavion Sanders (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He’s avoided IR for now, but we haven’t heard a timeline for his return. Sanders’ absence leaves Tommy Tremble as Carolina’s top TE, but he’d be a desperation fantasy start.
Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. That leaves Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen, and David Moore as Carolina’s clear top three receivers against the league’s 27th-ranked WR defense.
Giants DL Dexter Lawrence dislocated his left elbow in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys and will miss the rest of the season. HC Brian Daboll called the issue "long term" on Friday, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. We'll see about Lawrence's outlook for 2025 but don't expect it to be that long-term an issue.
The Bears have fired HC Matt Eberflus in the wake of Thursday's late debacle against the Lions. He finished 14-32 across two seasons and nearly three-quarters of his third. Chicago has named Thomas Brown interim HC, just three games after he was elevated from passing-game coordinator to interim OC.
Giants TE Theo Johnson suffered a foot injury in Thursday's loss to the Cowboys that's expected to end his season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Friday morning that he expects WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) to be ready for the Week 14 Monday nighter against the Bengals. Take Jones' medical report with a hefty grain of salt, but it's better than the alternative. We'll keep you posted on Lamb's status when the Cowboys get back to work next week.
Bills TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the 49ers. He didn’t practice all week and didn’t seem close to playing in this one, leaving him iffy for Week 14. Kincaid’s absence will again leave Dawson Knox as Buffalo’s lead TE. He posted a 4-40-0 line on six targets and an 82% route rate last time out. But he doesn’t crack TE1 territory in the Week 13 Rankings against the 49ers’ sixth-ranked TE defense.
Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) is expected to play vs. the Texans this weekend, HC Doug Pederson said Friday. Lawrence will be playing through a significant AC joint injury to his left shoulder that might eventually require surgery. It's his non-throwing shoulder, but there's still some risk that Lawrence takes a shot and is forced to exit. Against a Texans squad ranked fourth in pass defense DVOA, Lawrence would be a shaky Week 13 fantasy play. But his return is excellent news for WR Brian Thomas Jr. and TE Evan Engram.
Packers QB Jordan Love completed 21 of 28 passes for 274 yards and 2 TDs in Thursday’s win over Miami. High efficiency was key, as Love finished with fewer than 30 attempts for the third straight week.
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle caught 4 of 4 targets for 53 yards in Thursday’s loss to Green Bay. He added a two-point conversion on an impressive end zone catch.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb was sidelined for much of the second half of Thursday's win over the Giants. He wound up with a season-low 67% snap rate. HC Mike McCarthy said afterward that Lamb has a shoulder injury but gave no other details. This is presumably the same shoulder that Lamb hurt back in Week 8. He didn't miss any time then, but we'll see if this latest issue threatens his Week 14 availability. Lamb at least gets 11 days to heal up with the Cowboys hosting on Bengals on Monday Night Football.
Giants WR Malik Nabers caught eight of those 13 targets for 69 yards. Lock didn’t show much more promise than any other Giants QB, throwing a pick six and running for a TD. Nabers’ talent earns him the targets, but inaccurate passes from poor QB play have continued to hold him back.
Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb only caught two of his six targets for 39 yards. With the Cowboys emphasizing the rushing game, the targets simply weren’t enough for Lamb to overcome the poor QB play from Cooper Rush.
Cowboys’ RB Rico Dowdle rushed 22 times for 112 yards and a TD to lead the team to victory over the Giants. It was the first time in his career that he has had over 100 rushing yards in a game. He also caught all three targets for 11 yards.
Browns WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. He'll need to get in at least a limited practice tomorrow to have a chance to play vs. the Broncos on Monday night. We'll update Tillman's status again on Friday afternoon, but fantasy owners should be making other plans for Week 13.
