Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. His limited practice on Friday was his first since going down in Week 10. It’s unclear if Jeudy is ready for his usual role today, leaving him as a shaky fantasy start.
Broncos WR Courtland Sutton (illness) is active for today’s game vs. the Ravens. He was added to the injury report and did not practice on Friday, adding some downside to his Week 13 fantasy profile.
Commanders RB Antonio Gibson (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Giants. He got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, so it’s fair to assume that he’ll be operating at less than 100% today.
Steelers RB Jaylen Warren (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Falcons. He was a full-go in practice all week and should be available for his usual role behind RB Najee Harris.
Texans RB Rex Burkhead (concussion) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Browns. RB Eno Benjamin is active for the 1st time as a Texan and could play a passing-down role behind RB Dameon Pierce.
Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Vikings. RBs Zonovan Knight, Ty Johnson and James Robinson are active. We’re expecting Knight to lead the 3-man committee, making him a decent RB3 or flex play.
ESPN's Dan Graziano hears that Bengals RB Joe Mixon (concussion) is "highly unlikely" to play vs. the Chiefs later today. "They haven’t officially ruled him out yet," Graziano adds. But
"something would have to change last minute." We won't get Cincinnati's inactives until 3 pm ET, but Mixon should be on fantasy benches right now. Samaje Perine is a fantasy RB1 if Mixon is out.
Lions WR Jameson Williams will be on a "very limited snap count" in his NFL debut against the Jaguars today, according to NFL Network. That's not a surprise considering Detroit has been cautious with Williams' return from a torn ACL all along. The rookie is capable of taking any touch to the house, but he can't be trusted in Week 13 fantasy lineups.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Packers QB Aaron Rodgers will be playing through a "painful" rib contusion today against the Bears. The matchup is terrific and puts Rodgers in starter consideration for fantasy football lineups. Chicago allowed Jets QB Mike White 315 yards and 3 TDs (no INTs, 1 sack) on 78.6% completions just last week. But keep the risk of Rodgers' injury in mind as you weigh him against other options near him in our Week 13 fantasy football rankings.
Giants WR Darius Slayton (illness) is expected to play vs. the Commanders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Slayton was sidelined on Thursday and Friday with this illness, which adds a bit of risk to his Week 13 fantasy outlook.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (calf) will work out pre-game before a final decision is made on his status for today's game vs. the Chargers, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Jacobs was in the same boat last week before ripping the Seahawks for 303 total yards. He got in 3 limited practices this week. "There is optimism that he can play, but no one will know for sure until the workout," Rapoport says. We're expecting Jacobs to play but won't get Vegas' inactives until 3 pm ET. Fantasy owners should have a late-game replacement rostered just in case Jacobs ends up sitting.
Cowboys WR Michael Gallup (illness) is expected to play vs. the Colts tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gallup got in just a limited practice on Friday this week, but expect him to be available for his usual role tonight.
49ers WR Deebo Samuel (quad) "plans to play" vs. the Dolphins today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. "The 49ers didn’t think Samuel would be able to play until Friday, but he has made big improvements and, barring a pre-game setback, he plans to go today," Schefter tweets. We'll look for further updates on Samuel but won't get San Francisco's inactives until a little after 2:30 pm ET. He'll obviously carry elevated risk in fantasy lineups.
ESPN's Adam Schefter hears that Broncos WR Jerry Jeudy (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Ravens today, "barring any pre-game setbacks." Jeudy returned to practice on Friday for the 1st time since going down in Week 10 -- and was limited in that workout. It's certainly possible that his playing time is limited today. We'll look for further updates on the situation, but as of now, we'd try not to use Jeudy in Week 13 fantasy lineups.
Commanders RB Antonio Gibson (foot) is expected to play vs. the Giants today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gibson got in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday this week, so it's safe to assume that he won't be at 100%.
Jaguars RB Travis Etienne (foot) is expected to play vs. the Lions today, ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms. As of now, there are no reports on Etienne's snaps or touches being limited today.
ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirm that Bengals WR Ja'Marr Chase (hip) is expected to play vs. the Chiefs today. Chase carries more risk than usual in his 1st game back from the hip injury, but he'd be tough to sit in a likely shootout. See exactly where Chase sits in the Week 13 WR Rankings.
Bengals RB Joe Mixon still hadn't cleared concussion protocol as of late Saturday night and is a "long shot" to play vs. the Chiefs today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. ESPN's Adam Schefter isn't quite as pessimistic on Mixon's chances but confirms that he's still in the protocol. There's evidently a chance that he's cleared this morning, but fantasy owners should plan on being without him for now. Mixon's absence would again leave RB Samaje Perine in a feature role. He racked up 17 carries and 7 targets last week. Check out the updated projections for Cincinnati's backfield.
Buccaneers S Antoine Winfield Jr. (ankle) and S Mike Edwards (hamstring) are doubtful for Monday night's game against the Saints. That means Tampa Bay will almost certainly miss its top 2 safeties for the game. Keanu Neal and undrafted rookie Nolan Turner are the only other healthy safeties on the active roster. The Bucs could still activate veteran DB Logan Ryan (foot) from IR ahead of the game. Neal has moved up our Week 13 IDP rankings.
Seahawks RB Travis Homer (illness, knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Rams. Homer has played a sparse pass-catching role for Seattle this season, catching 10 of 11 targets in 7 appearances. RB DeeJay Dallas could pick up that work tomorrow -- or it could go to RB Ken Walker.
