Former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich has emerged as a strong candidate for the head-coaching position with the Carolina Panthers and will receive a second interview on Wednesday. Interim coach Steve Wilks also had his second interview with the team on Tuesday, and Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore will be given a second look after meeting with the club early this week. Reich has history with the team, as he was their first-ever quarterback in team history, and now he has a chance to serve as their head coach. He was fired by the Colts in the middle of the 2022 season after a poor start. As is the case with most rebuilding teams in the NFL, the Panthers are hoping to solidify their QB situation moving forward.
Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game versus the Washington Commanders. He finishes Week 13 having completed eight of 11 attempts for 75 passing yards. He also rushed three times, picking up one yard on the ground. Mitch Trubisky will quarterback Pittsburgh the rest of the way. Fantasy managers should monitor this situation; the Steelers face the Patriots on Thursday, giving Pickett very little time to recover before his next game.
San Francisco 49ers running back Jordan Mason (hamstring) is officially active for Week 13 versus the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable after logging a limited practice on Friday. Ultimately, the 24-year-old will be active as the No. 3 running back behind Christian McCaffrey and Elijah Mitchell. He's not currently on the fantasy radar.
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (forearm) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old injured himself back in Week 9 and hasn't played since then. Through his first nine contests this year, he caught 48 passes for 410 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 10.1 fantasy points per game (in PPR formats). Given that Goedert logged a limited practice on Friday, he's trending in the right direction and has a chance to return in Week 14 versus the Cowboys.
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He finishes Week 13 with nine rushes for 39 yards, plus a reception for no gain. This is tough news for the Patriots whose recent struggles in the passing game have led to more attempts for the running backs. For the time being, Ezekiel Elliott will lead the backfield and could become a fantasy-relevant option if Stevenson misses extended time. He'll have very little time to recover before the Patriots face the Steelers on Thursday.
Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. He had seven rushes for 53 yards prior to his departure. Although this is far from ideal for Washington, the good news is that he will have extra time to recover during their Week 14 bye. In the short term, Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez Jr. will lead the backfield.
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (ankle) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He departed in the first half after suffering an awkward injury around the goal line. As it stands, the rookie finishes Week 13 with zero catches and zero targets. Losing Dell, who had 25 catches, 369 yards, and five touchdowns over his last four games, is tough news for the Texans. However, their passing game should continue to survive with Nico Collins and Noah Brown atop the depth chart at wide receiver.
Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble (hip) is officially inactive for Week 13 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This was widely expected after he missed practice on Friday. With both Tremble and Hayden Hurst (concussion) inactive, the Panthers will rely on a heavier dose of Ian Thomas and Stephen Sullivan at tight end this week. However, neither of them are worth starting in fantasy football.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin (neck) is officially active for Week 13 versus the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction. The 27-year-old has 53 catches for 606 yards this season, though he's found the end zone just once. With a matchup against Carolina's suspect secondary on tap, Godwin ranks as a fantasy WR3.
Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (knee) exited during the first half of Week 13 versus the New Orleans Saints. He is officially questionable to return. The talented offensive lineman had played 100 percent of snaps in eight games this season, providing key protection to the likes of Jared Goff, Jahmyr Gibbs, and David Montgomery.
Miami Dolphins linebacker Jerome Baker (knee) exited during the first half of Week 13 versus the Washington Commanders. He has been ruled out for the remainder of the contest. Baker suffered what appeared to be a severe right knee injury after taking an inadvertent hit from a teammate. This has the potential to be a long-term injury for Baker, whose defensive contributions this season include 69 tackles, two interceptions, and 1.5 sacks.
