Zane Gonzalez Looks to Stay Perfect in Week 13 Against Jets

Atlanta Falcons kicker Zane Gonzalez went 3-for-3 on field goals last week, including nailing one from 56 yards out, and is now 6-for-6 in three games as the team's place kicker. The 30-year-old is also perfect on extra points, going 6-for-6 over the three-game stretch. The team's third kicker this season has appeared to have brought some stability to the position, and will look to stay perfect on the road against the Jets in Week 13. He could have to deal with light rain in East Rutherford, but in a game with a low expected total (38.5) with the potential for stalled drives, Gonzalez could see a couple opportunities to convert field goals. Even so, the Arizona State product projects well outside the top 12, so there could be better options available in games with higher totals and/or being played indoors.

Chimere Dike • WR • Titans

Chimere Dike Rising as Go-To Target in Titans Passing Attack?

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver Chimere Dike hauled in his second touchdown of the season in last week's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, finishing with five receptions for 44 yards on seven targets. His seven targets were tied for the team lead with rookie tight end Gunnar Helm. Since Week 7, Dike has emerged as a legitimate threat as a receiver for the Titans, leading the team with 19 receptions for 226 yards and two touchdowns on 24 targets, averaging 10.7 PPR points per game in that five-game span. The rookie fourth-rounder has been dynamic with the ball in his hands, including as a return man, where he leads the league in all-purpose yards and with two punt return touchdowns. With rookie quarterback Cameron Ward also showing positive signs lately, Dike has flex appeal in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars and ranks as RotoBaller's WR44 in PPR formats.

John Metchie III • WR • Jets

John Metchie III Becoming Weekly Fantasy Option?

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III has performed well since being acquired at the trade deadline from the Philadelphia Eagles. Excluding his first game in New York where he only played eight offensive snaps, Metchie has recorded nine receptions for 110 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets while playing 84.5% of the snaps. The 25-year-old has more than doubled the next closest Jets pass catcher in receiving yards in the past two games, with fellow trade acquisition Adonai Mitchell the next closest at 52 yards. With Garrett Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve, Metchie has the runway to lead the Jets' passing attack over the next few weeks. The offense was more functional last week with Tyrod Taylor under center, though it's still not a good offensive environment. Metchie has flex value in deeper leagues for Week 13 versus the Atlanta Falcons, ranking as RotoBaller's WR49 in PPR leagues.

Mike Evans • WR • Buccaneers

Mike Evans a Good Stash Candidate with Return Looming?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) has been sidelined since Week 7 after suffering a broken collarbone during their loss to the Detroit Lions. Evans was expected to miss most of the remainder of the season with the injury, but head coach Todd Bowles said earlier this week that he is on track to return before the end of the regular season. The veteran is eligible to have his practice window opened, but that hasn't happened just yet. Evans collected 14 receptions (32 targets) for 140 yards and a touchdown in the four games before going down and should reclaim his role as Tampa Bay's No. 1 wideout if he can return at some point. It's still unclear when Evans will return, but he is worth adding and stashing in leagues where he was dropped as more information comes out about his status.

Brenton Strange • TE • Jaguars

Brenton Strange Emerging as Rising TE Option Headed into Week 13

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange hauled in all five of his targets for a career-high 93 yards in his return from injury in Week 12 against the Arizona Cardinals. It was encouraging to see Strange return to a full snap share and look healthy after being sidelined since Week 5 due to a hip injury. The third-year tight end has been solid in six games of action this season, averaging 4.2 receptions for 49.5 receiving yards on 4.8 targets per game. Strange will have more competition for targets on Sunday against the Titans with Brian Thomas Jr. returning, but he still projects as a solid option. Strange ranks as RotoBaller's TE12 in PPR leagues for Week 13.

Kimani Vidal • RB • Chargers

Kimani Vidal Should Bounce Back in Week 13

Los Angeles Chargers running back Kimani Vidal gave fantasy managers a dud during the Week 11 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Vidal rushed the ball five times for 13 yards in the defeat. To be fair, the Chargers were getting blown out, so they basically had to abandon the rushing game. Vidal should return to his workhorse workload with Hassan Haskins (hamstring) and Omarion Hampton (ankle) both sidelined in Week 13. He'll draw a favorable matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders defense this weekend. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable plugging Vidal in as an RB2 for this Week 13 matchup.

Darren Waller Ready to Return to Action

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) has been activated off the injured reserve ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Waller is ready to return to action after being sidelined since suffering a pectoral injury in Week 6. When healthy, Waller was a viable asset with four touchdowns over his first three games with the team. The expectation is that Waller will return to being a red-zone threat for the team this weekend. There is no word of the Dolphins easing Waller back into action. That being said, Waller should be a full-go and viewed as high-end TE2 for Week 13.

Myles Gaskin • RB • Seahawks

Myles Gaskin Signed to Active Roster

Seattle Seahawks running back Myles Gaskin was recently re-signed to the practice squad earlier in the week. Now, Gaskin will be signed to the active roster ahead of the Week 13 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Seahawks are in need of another running back with George Holani (hamstring) heading to the injured reserve. Gaskin hasn't actually seen a rushing attempt since the 2024 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 28-year-old will serve as a depth option behind Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.

Broderick Jones • OT • Steelers

Broderick Jones Placed on Injured Reserve

Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Broderick Jones (neck) has officially been placed on the injured reserve. Jones will now miss at least the next four games due to a neck injury he suffered during last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. This is a tough blow to the Steelers as Jones was playing well as their starting left tackle. He was a former first-round pick of the team from 2023, but will hopefully be back in the mix before the end of the season. The expectation is that Andrus Peat will take over as the starting left tackle for the Week 13 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Jalen McMillan • WR • Buccaneers

Jalen McMillan Cleared to Practice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was cleared by a spine specialist this week. That means, McMillan should be able to begin practicing as early as this upcoming week. The 23-year-old has been sidelined all season due to multiple broken bones in his neck. The hope is that McMillan will be able to contribute to this Bucs roster at some point. Once his practice window is opened, the Bucs will have 21 days to activate McMillan before he goes back to the injured reserve. It's unclear at the moment how much time he's going to need to get ready to play again. For now, McMillan isn't anything more than a possible deep league stash or dynasty hold.

Aaron Rodgers Set to Play on Sunday

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) is set to start against the Buffalo Bills in Week 13. Rodgers plans to suit up despite having multiple broken bones in his left (non-throwing) wrist. He sat out last week's game which forced Mason Rudolph into the starting role against the Chicago Bears. It appears Rodgers is feeling good enough to play after a week to rest. The injury shouldn't impact his throwing ability, but Rodgers isn't a great fantasy option anyway. He should be viewed on the lower end of QB2s for this weekend.

Hunter Henry • TE • Patriots

Hunter Henry Coming Back Down to Earth in Week 13?

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry feasted last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, catching seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. However, he might not find as much success against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 13. Henry exploded last week thanks to the Bengals being historically terrible against tight ends. The Giants' defense is much better, allowing the 12th-fewest receiving yards and 11th-fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025. As a result, Henry will come back down to earth and is a longshot to replicate last week's performance. The veteran tight end had seven consecutive games with single-digit fantasy points before breaking out against the Giants, so managers shouldn't be surprised if he returns to that level of production in Week 13. As it stands, Henry ranks as the overall TE9 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.

Kayshon Boutte • WR • Patriots

Kayshon Boutte Maintains High Ceiling, Low Floor Ahead of Enticing Matchup

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte carries a high ceiling and low floor into Monday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 13. Boutte has repeatedly shown that he's capable of big games, strengthening his rapport with Drake Maye deep downfield. However, he has also turned in plenty of duds, including last week's performance that saw him catch just two passes for 15 yards despite an impressive 80% snap share. Part of last week's quiet outing could be attributed to the tight end position; both Boutte and Stefon Diggs had just two catches while Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper feasted against the Cincinnati Bengals, combining for 10 catches, 154 yards, and a touchdown. With slightly less motivation to get the ball to his tight ends this week, Maye could look Boutte's way more often, especially against a Giants defense allowing the third-most receiving yards and fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. The 23-year-old certainly isn't the safest option, but he's worth the risk as a WR3/flex in deeper leagues. Boutte ranks as the overall WR52 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 13.

Stefon Diggs • WR • Patriots

Stefon Diggs Looks to Bounce Back Against Struggling Secondary

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs let down his fantasy managers last Sunday, catching just two passes for 20 yards as he finished with his first single-digit fantasy performance (PPR) since Week 6. He still has a solid 61 catches, 679 yards, and three touchdowns while ranking as the overall WR17 this season, which is impressive considering that he has played only 54.6% of the offensive snaps. Despite his smaller snap share, Diggs typically takes advantage of every opportunity presented to him. Therefore, even if he continues to play fewer than 60% of the snaps on Monday night against the New York Giants, he can still be a fringe top-12 receiver in fantasy football. Fortunately for Diggs, the Giants have allowed the third-most receiving yards and fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025. Just last week, they surrendered nine catches, 149 yards, and one touchdown to Amon-Ra St. Brown. With such an enticing matchup headed his way, Diggs ranks as the overall WR13 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 13.

Rhamondre Stevenson • RB • Patriots

Rhamondre Stevenson Stuck in Depth Role Despite Juicy Matchup

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson has a favorable matchup against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 13, but he's not a dependable fantasy starter as long as TreVeyon Henderson remains healthy. Stevenson returned from a three-week injury absence last Sunday and found himself relegated to the backup role; he played just 31% of the offensive snaps and logged a measly 10 scrimmage yards on seven touches. Henderson was far more productive and efficient on his 65% snap share and 21 touches. The rookie has officially taken over as the primary ball carrier in New England, leaving Stevenson stuck in a depth role. If he were more efficient, Stevenson would be a candidate to carve out standalone value in games with favorable matchups. However, he has just 3.19 yards per carry this year, including just 1.95 yards per carry over his last two games. With a small workload, Stevenson's inefficiency makes it nearly impossible for him to carve out any sort of production or fantasy value. The Giants have allowed the second-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025, but he ranks as the RB44 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings and can be benched in most leagues.

TreVeyon Henderson • RB • Patriots

TreVeyon Henderson Remains a Top Fantasy Option for Week 13

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson cemented himself as the team's lead back while fending off Rhamondre Stevenson last Sunday, and in doing so, he also strengthened his position as a low-end RB1 in fantasy football. Henderson continues to find himself in the must-start range ahead of Monday Night Football against the New York Giants in Week 13. The rookie played 65% of the snaps last week, holding Stevenson to just seven touches for 10 yards. Meanwhile, Henderson had 18 carries for 66 rushing yards, plus three catches for an additional 15 receiving yards. The Ohio State product didn't find the end zone, but he did have five touchdowns over his previous two games. In four games since taking over as the Patriots' primary ball carrier, he is the third-highest-scoring running back in PPR leagues. He'll have a great chance to strengthen his fantasy value this week against the Giants, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Henderson ranks as the overall RB9 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings.

Drake Maye • QB • Patriots

Drake Maye Set for Favorable Matchup in Primetime Slot

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye has been the fifth-highest-scoring quarterback in fantasy football this season, and he'll look to build on his impressive year against the New York Giants on Monday Night Football in Week 13. Maye continues to play at a high level, albeit perhaps not quite as sensational as earlier in the year. Over his last four games, he has 1,104 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, three interceptions, and one lost fumble, as well as 57 rushing yards. Through 13 weeks this year, he has 23 total touchdowns and eight turnovers. Maye has a chance to explode in a favorable matchup this Monday. Although the Giants do have NFC sack leader Brian Burns, New York is also allowing the second-most fantasy points and the most rushing yards to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Maye ranks as the overall QB2 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Chig Okonkwo • TE • Titans

Chig Okonkwo Slated for Action in Week 13

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) is expected to be available for Week 13's meeting with their division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars. Okonkwo has had trouble shaking a foot issue he's dealt with since Week 9, although it hasn't stopped him from suiting up once since then. Even after logging a DNP in the middle of the week, the fourth-year pro is on track to play in Sunday's home matchup. Tennessee anticipates getting wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) back from a one-game absence, so targets will be even more attenuated in a subpar Tennessee scheme. Ayomanor's return, coupled with fellow tight end Gunnar Helm's recent uptick in involvement, lowers Okonkwo's floor further, making him a stream to avoid for fantasy managers despite the juicy matchup.

Elic Ayomanor • WR • Titans

Elic Ayomanor Likely to Suit Up Sunday

The Tennessee Titans anticipate wide receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) suiting up for Week 13's outing against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Stanford alum was unable to play in last weekend's 30-24 loss to the Seahawks, but it appears he'll only miss one game despite not logging a full practice. Ayomanor hasn't stood out in a struggling Tennessee attack in 2025. Still, there's some hope for the unit down the stretch with rookie QB Cameron Ward playing better of late. Jacksonville boasts the best unit in terms of rushing yards allowed per game (83.8), but they're beatable through the air, and are by no means a scary matchup for fantasy wideouts. Ayomanor would be a boost to the passing game if he can play, though he'll be tough to trust for fantasy.

Bam Knight • RB • Cardinals

Bam Knight on Track to Play Against Buccaneers

Arizona Cardinals running back Bam Knight (knee) is on track to be active for Sunday's clash with the hosting Tampa Bay Buccaneers. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. Knight has dealt with injuries for a few weeks now, first with an ankle issue, and now his ailing knee, which kept him limited at practice this week leading up to the game. If he plays, the 24-year-old is likely to assume a similar role as in the previous few contests, splitting time with backfield mate Michael Carter while Emari Demercado (ankle) misses another outing. For what it's worth, Carter has out-snapped Knight in two straight games, although the latter has out-touched the former, keeping his fantasy value afloat with scores on the ground. Fortunately, Tampa Bay's defense has been kind to fantasy running backs.
