Week 13 Rankings<\/a> | Expert chat (noon-1 p.m. ET)<\/a><\/p>\n
What we were watching for early<\/p>\n
Active for today’s games<\/p>\n
Bam Knight<\/a>, RB, ARI (knee): He practiced in only limited fashion all week, but he is active. With Emari Demercado<\/a> (ankle) out and Trey Benson<\/a> (knee) not ready to return to the huddle, Knight and Michael Carter<\/a> are the team’s only RB options.<\/p>\n Marvin Harrison Jr<\/a>., WR, ARI (illness): Harrison is active this week after missing time following the removal of his appendix. However, Michael Wilson<\/a> may still get the most targets at WR.<\/p>\n Jerome Ford<\/a>, RB, CLE (hamstring): He was downgraded as the week went on, but he is active. Even so, Quinshon Judkins<\/a> (and, to a far lesser degree, Dylan Sampson<\/a>) has more than been able to handle backfield duties for the team.<\/p>\n C.J. Stroud<\/a>, QB, HOU (concussion): Stroud has cleared the league’s concussion protocol. He is active and will start against the Colts.<\/p>\n Tyler Warren<\/a>, TE, IND (illness): Feel free to start Warren as he is active. If he suffers a setback of any kind, Mo Alie-Cox<\/a> might get some TE targets from QB Daniel Jones<\/a>, who will try to play despite having a fractured fibula.<\/p>\n Darren Waller<\/a>, TE, MIA (pectoral): Waller has been activated from IR and will play for the first time since Oct. 19.<\/p>\n Chris Olave<\/a>, WR, NO (back): Olave has been dealing with sporadic bouts of back spasms. He is active, but there is certainly risk of an in-game relapse.<\/p>\n Allen Lazard<\/a>, WR, NYJ (neck): Lazard is active, amid a hodgepodge mix of receivers competing for No. 3 WR targets for New York. Arian Smith<\/a> is a healthy scratch.<\/p>\n Baker Mayfield<\/a> , QB, TB (shoulder): Mayfield took all of the first-team reps on Friday. He is active and expected to start for the Buccaneers on Sunday. He can throw to WR Chris Godwin Jr.<\/a> (fibula), who was not on the team’s final injury report.<\/p>\n Bucky Irving<\/a>, RB, TB (shoulder): Expect a committee approach this week (with Rachaad White<\/a> and Sean Tucker<\/a> also getting touches) as Irving gets eased back into the swing of things. He is active.<\/p>\n Chig Okonkwo<\/a>, TE, TEN (foot): Consider this to be a toss-up as to whether or not Okonkwo will actually be able to play a full 60 minutes, though he is active. Either way, you probably want to look elsewhere for fantasy purposes.<\/p>\n Elic Ayomanor<\/a>, WR, TEN (hamstring): While he is active, without having had a full practice day this week, it’s foolish to risk starting Ayomanor in fantasy.<\/p>\n Ruled out before Sunday<\/p>\n Drake London<\/a>, WR, ATL (knee): Darnell Mooney<\/a> continues to be the Falcons’ top WR option as London remains a long way off from returning this season.<\/p>\n Omarion Hampton<\/a>, RB, LAC (ankle): Kimani Vidal<\/a> will once again handle lead-back duties for the Chargers after the team decided that Hampton was still not ready to return from IR.<\/p>\n Michael Mayer<\/a>, TE, LV (ankle): All the better for those fantasy managers relying on TE Brock Bowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n J.J. McCarthy<\/a>, QB, MIN (concussion): Max Brosmer<\/a> will start for the Vikings, who remain optimistic that McCarthy can return to the huddle next week.<\/p>\n Alvin Kamara<\/a>, RB, NO (knee): Kamara will not be placed on IR but is still likely to miss a few weeks. Devin Neal<\/a> (ankle) was removed from the Saints’ injury report and will start.<\/p>\n Eddy Pineiro<\/a>, K, SF (hamstring): Matt Gay<\/a>, who handled kicking duties for the 49ers in Week 12, will do so again Sunday.<\/p>\n Jayden Daniels<\/a>, QB, WAS (elbow): Daniels may return next week but, for now, Marcus Mariota<\/a> remains under center for the Commanders.<\/p>\n Noah Brown<\/a>, WR, WAS (groin): Brown is not ready to return from IR just yet. Meanwhile, Terry McLaurin<\/a> (quad) practiced all week and was not on the team’s final injury report.<\/p>\n What we’re watching for late Dalton Kincaid<\/a>, TE, BUF (hamstring): After missing the past two weeks, Kincaid seems very likely to be on the field Sunday. Still, it behooves you to have a pivot, just in case he suffers a setback in warmups.<\/p>\n Joshua Palmer<\/a>, WR, BUF (ankle): Khalil Shakir<\/a> is the clear No. 1 WR option here and Gabe Davis<\/a> was again added from the practice squad as Curtis Samuel<\/a> (elbow) goes on IR. If Palmer plays, don’t expect more than a few targets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Whom should you start? Whom should you sit?
