Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been front and center for the Packers in their passing game as of late, and he looks to keep that up in the Packers' Week 13 game against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Last week against the Minnesota Vikings, Watson led the Packers in targets with seven and paced the passing game production with a five-catch, 49-yard stat line. Watson has also led the Packers in air yards over the last three games, showing the intent from head coach and playcaller Matt LaFleur and Packers quarterback Jordan Love to get the ball downfield. Detroit allows the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing receivers and is a man-based defense that was just shredded by Wan'Dale Robinson's 9-157-1 line this past Sunday for the Giants. For fantasy purposes, Watson should be considered a high-upside WR3 for Week 13.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs has had a lackluster last few weeks of fantasy production, but looks to get back on track when the Lions face the Packers in Week 13 on Thanksgiving. After averaging eight targets per game in Week 6 through Week 9, Doubs is averaging just five targets per game in his last three games, with the Packers opting to get back to running the ball much more. In the last three contests, Doubs has had a combined seven receptions, 81 yards, and zero touchdowns in that span. He's taken a backseat in the pecking order to Christian Watson, who has asserted himself as a player who can earn targets. Even with Watson's emergence in recent weeks, this is still a good spot for Doubs. He's a solid flex play for fantasy managers this week, but just know that the points floor is a bit low.

Green Bay Packers tight end John FitzPatrick has seen his opportunity with the Packers grow as of late, but is still a player to leave out of fantasy lineups when the Packers head to Detroit to take on the Lions on Thanksgiving. FitzPatrick has supplanted Luke Musgrave in terms of snap share and routes over the last two weeks for the Packers. Despite the increased snaps in the 60 percent range in each of the last two weeks for Green Bay, it's only turned into a combined two receptions and 16 yards on two targets. FitzPatrick's role is not as a receiver, so expecting fantasy production out of the Packers' tight end may not be realistic. Leave FitzPatrick off of your fantasy rosters when the Packers play the Lions on Thanksgiving in Week 13.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus matched his best fantasy output of the season in Week 12 and looks to keep that run going when the Packers head to Ford Field to face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. McManus was successful on all three of his field goal attempts in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings, making kicks of 32, 30, and 40 yards. Also booting home both extra point attempts, McManus was K10 on the week and could be on the upswing now from a quad injury that's affected him at times this season. With the Packers heading to Detroit for their Week 13 matchup, McManus is a low-end starter for fantasy purposes.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) is on track to return from a lengthy absence in Week 13 against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday after putting in a full practice on Wednesday, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Irving has not played since Week 4 due to a subluxation of his shoulder and a foot sprain, but all signs are pointing to him being active this weekend in Week 13 in a plus matchup. Irving's fantasy managers have to be stoked that he's finally returning, but the Bucs fully plan to ease him back into their backfield, which will make him extremely volatile in his first game back. The 23-year-old was Tampa's clear lead back before his injuries, carrying the ball 71 times for 237 yards and no touchdowns while adding 193 receiving yards and two TDs. Irving will have a key role down the stretch, but he might have to share work more with Sean Tucker and Rachaad White than he did to begin the 2025 season.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could feast in a matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 13. Kelce was third on the team in receiving yards last week against the Indianapolis Colts, but he's been one of the most productive tight ends in fantasy football this season. The veteran tight end is averaging 61.3 receiving yards per game this year, which would be third among tight ends, just behind Trey McBride and Brock Bowers. Kelce has enjoyed a resurgent season after a disappointing 2024 year from a production standpoint. Kelce will now face a Cowboys defense that is middle-of-the-pack in fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends this season, but he should find more success than most. The Cowboys offense should be able to put up points against the Kansas City defense, which would translate into more receiving opportunities for Kelce. Kelce is ranked TE5 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a rock-solid TE1 start for Thanksgiving Day.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has been a much better real-life quarterback than a fantasy option this season, but he will look to right the ship against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving in Week 13. Love has had just 24 and 21 pass attempts in the last two weeks and has averaged just 163 passing yards and less than a touchdown per game in his last three games. That's not going to get it done from a fantasy perspective. With Love rarely approaching any sort of fantasy points ceiling and the Packers very content to run the ball, it crushes any upside for the passing game. Even with multiple members of the Lions' secondary banged up on a defense that's allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks, Love is more of a QB2 for two-quarterback fantasy leagues rather than a starter in single-quarterback leagues for Week 13.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson had an awesome game in Week 12, but will cede the starting running back duties back to Josh Jacobs when the Packers match up with the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Wilson took 28 carries and turned that into 107 rushing yards and two touchdowns, while catching both of his targets for 18 yards. It was a great performance, but with Jacobs off the injury report after three limited practice sessions, Wilson's role will be greatly diminished from last week. While Wilson could see some more opportunities working in tandem with Jacobs, it's not likely to be anything substantial. When the Packers face the Lions in Week 13's Thanksgiving showdown, Wilson is more of an RB4 option than should be left on benches in all but the deepest of fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans CB Ajani Carter (hamstring), LB Jamal Hill (hamstring), OT Blake Fisher (illness) and DE Denico Autry (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26. S Jalen Pitre (concussion) and OT Trent Brown (hand) were limited during practice. QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) fully participated in practice.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown could be a sneaky flex play in a high-scoring Thanksgiving game against the Dallas Cowboys. Brown was not heavily involved in last week's win over the Colts, catching just one pass for 10 yards, but he could be more involved in a game with the highest total of the week. The Cowboys offense is fourth in points per game and first in yards per game this season, meaning that the passing game should be busy on Thursday. Brown has found the endzone for times this season and has been the WR2 on the team at various times, so his usage can vary from game to game. Brown will also benefit from a Cowboys defense that has allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Brown is ranked WR66 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him more of a desperation flex option this week.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was listed on the injury report this week with an ankle injury, but logged two full practices before being removed from the report ahead of Thursday's game. Worthy was second in the receiving pecking order, behind Rashee Rice, in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Worthy caught four passes for 59 yards on eight targets in Week 12. Despite his solid performance last week, Worthy has been a difficult player for fantasy managers to trust this season. In Weeks 10 and 11, Worthy failed to catch more than three passes and did not eclipse 30 receiving yards in either game. With Rice dominating targets and Kelce remaining heavily involved, Worthy has often been relegated to third or fourth in targets. Worthy will have a chance to have a boom game this week against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. This week's matchup is also tied for the highest total of the week, meaning there should be a lot of points scored for both teams. Worthy is ranked WR43 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, putting him deep-league flex territory mainly due to his inconsistency. That said, fantasy managers could roll the dice with Worthy this week since the passing volume should be high for the Chiefs on Thanksgiving Day.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice session, according to the team's official website. Thomas has missed three straight games after suffering a high-ankle sprain in Jacksonville's Week 9 win over the Raiders, and has yet to log a full practice since then. The second-year wideout is expected to return in Week 13 against the Titans, and will hope to finish the season strong after a disappointing first eight games. Thomas has just 30 receptions for 420 yards on 60 targets with two total touchdowns as he's struggled mightily with drops, tying Jerry Jeudy for the league lead with nine. Thomas will project as a WR3 in Week 13 against the Titans, assuming he is able to return.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was a limited participant in Monday's practice with a hamstring injury, but followed that up with back-to-back full practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Rice does not have an injury designation heading into Thursday and should continue being a target hog in the Chiefs offense. Rice is coming off a great game in Week 11, where he caught eight passes for 141 yards in their win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 25-year-old was the only player on the Chiefs to earn double-digit targets in last week's contest. Rice's success should continue on Thursday against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. Rice should feast in this week's matchup, and he has a good chance of finding the endzone because he's scored four times in five games this season. Rice is ranked WR3 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him one of the best options at the position this week.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (toe) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.

Fantasy Spin: Jackson has been dealing with several injuries over the last few weeks but has been able to play. He has posted disappointing numbers over the last three games but should be able to make plays against the Cincinnati Bengals defense. He will be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues despite his recent play.

Baltimore Ravens DT Taven Bryan (knee) and RB Justice Hill (neck) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26, and have been ruled out for Week 13.

Jones (ankle) and CB Keyon Martin (rib) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt will have to share the backfield with Isiah Pacheco as he returns from his knee injury to face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day in Week 13. Hunt feasted without Pacheco out of the lineup, handling 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown in last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. Hunt also caught three passes for 26 yards in Week 12. The veteran back was asked to do it all, and he found a ton of success, but it appears his ceiling will be lowered with Pacheco entering the fold. That said, Hunt could still be the lead back on Thanksgiving if the Chiefs decide to ease Pacheco back into action. Hunt has been the team's preferred goal-line and third-down back this season, even with Pachecho healthy, so fantasy managers should expect that role to continue. Hunt will try to continue his run of success this week against the Cowboys, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. The addition of DT Quinnen Williams to the Dallas defense should make it a bit more difficult to rush, but Hunt's involvement in the passing game could help offset that. Hunt is ranked RB32 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him an RB3/Flex option against the Cowboys in Week 13.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (neck) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, according to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. Wright was listed as a DNP every day in practice this week after injuring his neck during the Lions' Week 12 overtime win over the New York Giants. The 26-year-old has served as the team's top tight end for the past two games with Sam LaPorta (back) on injured reserve. The production has been modest, recording five catches for 37 yards on 11 targets. Ross Dwelley is in line to see an increase in snaps on Thanksgiving, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for potential streaming options.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Isiah Pacheco has been sidelined for multiple weeks with a knee injury, but he got in three full practices this week and will return to face the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. The last time we saw Pacheco on the field was in Week 8 against the Washington Commanders. In that game, Pacheco was the team's leading rusher with 12 carries for 58 yards. The 26-year-old seemed to be carving out a larger role in the backfield before he went down to injury, so it will be interesting to see how involved he is on Thursday. Pacheco will take on the Cowboys, who have allowed the 12th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. That statistic may be encouraging, but it is worth noting that Dallas acquired star DT Quinnen Williams at the trade deadline, and his impact cannot be overlooked. Kareem Hunt handled the lion's share of opportunities in Pacheco's absence, carrying the ball 30 times in last week's win over the Colts. It is unclear if fantasy managers will be able to trust Pacheco in his first game back, but this Thanksgiving matchup is tied for the highest total of the week, meaning there should be plenty of points scored. Pacheco is ranked RB39 in our RotoBaller Half-PPR rankings, making him a RB3/Flex option this week.

Cincinnati Bengals RB Tahj Brooks (concussion), WR Jermaine Burton (ankle), DE Trey Hendrickson (hip, pelvis) and WR Tee Higgins (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26, and have been ruled out for Week 13.

S Daijahn Anthony (hamstring), QB Joe Burrow (toe), QB Joe Flacco (shoulder, finger) and RB Samaje Perine (ankle) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.
