Sun Nov 23 10:50pm ET
Field Level Media
Brandon Aubrey converted a 42-yard field goal as time expired and the Dallas Cowboys rallied from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit to beat the visiting Philadelphia Eagles 24-21 on Sunday.
Aubrey's kick, the second game-winner of his career, capped a nine-play, 49-yard drive in the final 1:35. The big play was Dak Prescott's 24-yard completion to George Pickens that got Dallas (5-5-1) to the Philadelphia 22 with 35 seconds left, forcing the Eagles to use their final timeouts and setting up the clutch field goal.
Prescott hit on 23 of 36 passes for 354 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. His 8-yard scramble with 11:40 left, complete with a somersault into the end zone, tied the game at 21. Pickens grabbed nine passes for 146 yards and a touchdown, while CeeDee Lamb had four receptions for 75 yards.
Jalen Hurts completed 27 of 39 throws for 289 yards and a touchdown while also running for two scores for the Eagles (8-3). A.J. Brown hauled in a season-best eight receptions for 110 yards and a touchdown. Saquon Barkley was held to a season-low 22 yards on 10 carries.
Chiefs 23, Colts 20 (OT)
Harrison Butker kicked five field goals, including the decisive 27-yarder with 1:57 left in overtime, to give host Kansas City a victory over Indianapolis.
Patrick Mahomes completed 29 of 46 passes for 352 yards and one interception as Kansas City (6-5) prevailed in a one-score game for the first time in six opportunities this season. Last season, the Chiefs went 12-0, including a postseason victory, in such situations. Kareem Hunt rushed for 104 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries and Rashee Rice caught eight passes for 141 yards for Kansas City, which overcame an 11-point, fourth-quarter deficit to end a two-game losing streak.
Daniel Jones completed 19 of 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns for the Colts (8-3). Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree caught touchdown passes and Laiatu Latu had an interception. Indianapolis star Jonathan Taylor was held to 58 yards on 16 carries, with 27 yards coming on one handoff.
Packers 23, Vikings 6
Injury replacement Emanuel Wilson ran for a career-high 107 yards and two touchdowns to pace host Green Bay to a victory over Minnesota in an NFC North matchup.
Wilson, filling in for injured starter Josh Jacobs, was the first 100-yard rusher this season for the Packers. Green Bay (7-3-1) remains a half-game behind division-leading Chicago and a half-game ahead of defending division champion Detroit. The game against the Vikings was the first of five against division rivals in a seven-game span.
Minnesota (4-7) managed just 145 yards of total offense in its fifth loss over the last six games. J.J. McCarthy, making his sixth career start, completed 12 of 19 passes for 87 yards and two interceptions with a passer rating of 34.2. McCarthy was under near-constant pressure and sacked five times.
Lions 34, Giants 27 (OT)
Jahmyr Gibbs totaled 264 yards and three touchdowns, including a 69-yard TD run in overtime, as host Detroit turned aside New York's upset attempt.
Gibbs also had a 49-yard scoring run and a 3-yard touchdown reception for the Lions (7-4). Jared Goff passed for 279 yards and two scores, while Amon-Ra St. Brown caught nine passes -- including his 500th career reception -- for 149 yards and a touchdown.
Detroit kicker Jake Bates' 59-yard field goal in the final minute sent the game to OT. Jameis Winston threw for 366 yards and two scores and also caught a TD pass for the Giants (2-10), who have lost six straight. Wan'Dale Robinson caught nine passes for 156 yards and a score.
Ravens 23, Jets 10
Derrick Henry ran for two third-quarter touchdowns and Baltimore posted its fifth straight win, stopping visiting New York.
Baltimore (6-5) moved into a tie with Pittsburgh for first place in the AFC North, after the Steelers fell to the Bears in Chicago. New York (2-9) suffered its second straight loss.
Lamar Jackson completed 13 of 23 passes for 153 yards for the Ravens, while Tyrod Taylor was 17 of 28 for 222 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Jets. New York running back Breece Hall accounted for 119 yards from scrimmage, although he was held to 44 yards on 16 rushes.
Patriots 26, Bengals 20
Drake Maye completed 22 of 35 passes for 294 yards, one touchdown and one interception, and New England held on for a win over host Cincinnati.
Hunter Henry caught seven passes for 115 yards and a touchdown for the Patriots (10-2), who won their ninth game in a row. Andy Borregales made four field goals.
Joe Flacco completed 19 of 37 passes for 183 yards, one touchdown and one interception for the Bengals (3-8). Chase Brown had 19 carries for 107 yards.
Jaguars 27, Cardinals 24 (OT)
Trevor Lawrence passed for 256 yards and three touchdowns while overcoming three interceptions and four turnovers, and Cam Little's 52-yard field goal on the first possession of overtime gave Jacksonville a victory over Arizona in Phoenix.
Quarterback Jacoby Brissett, who threw for 317 yards and a touchdown, advanced the Cardinals to the Jaguars' 42-yard line on their final drive before throwing two incompletions. Michael Wilson had 10 receptions for 118 yards and Trey McBride had nine for 79 yards for Arizona (3-8).
Travis Etienne had 86 yards rushing and scored on a 15-yard pass on the Jaguars' first drive of the game, which covered 97 yards. Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers also caught touchdowns for Jacksonville (7-4).
Browns 24, Raiders 10
In his first career NFL start, highly publicized rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders did just enough to push Cleveland to its first road win of the season with a victory over Las Vegas.
Sanders mostly stayed out of trouble in his debut, completing 11 of 20 for 209 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Browns (3-8). The 23-year-old threw his first career touchdown pass with 8:18 remaining in the fourth quarter, connecting with running back Dylan Sampson on a screen pass that Sampson promptly ran 66 yards into the end zone.
The star of the show, however, was Cleveland's defensive front. The Browns tallied 10 sacks, completely stifling the Raiders (2-9). Las Vegas quarterback Geno Smith completed 30 of 44 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown toss to rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, who gained just 50 yards on 17 carries for an average of 2.9 yards per carry.
Bears 31, Steelers 28
Caleb Williams passed for 239 yards and three touchdowns and Kyle Monangai rushed for a score to lift surging Chicago past visiting Pittsburgh.
The NFC North-leading Bears (8-3) stretched their winning streak to four, with each victory coming by one score. D.J. Moore led the team with five receptions for 64 yards and two touchdowns. Monangai rushed 12 times for 48 yards.
Chicago withstood a late rally from the Steelers (6-5), who fell into a tie with Baltimore atop the AFC North. Mason Rudolph started in place of Aaron Rodgers, who was unable to play with a left wrist fracture that forced him from last week's win against Cincinnati. Rudolph finished 24 of 31 for 171 yards with a touchdown and interception. Kenneth Gainwell gained 92 yards on 10 carries, and Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf rushed for scores.
Falcons 24, Saints 10
Kirk Cousins passed for two touchdowns and visiting Atlanta ended a five-game losing streak by defeating New Orleans.
Cousins completed 16 of 23 passes for 199 yards for the Falcons (4-7) as he filled in for Michael Penix Jr., who suffered a season-ending knee injury a week earlier. Star running back Bijan Robinson had 107 total yards on 16 touches for Atlanta.
Tyler Shough passed for 243 of the 293 total yards for the Saints (2-9), who did not score an offensive touchdown. Running back Alvin Kamara left the game after injuring a knee in the first quarter and did not return. Chris Olave led New Orleans with 70 yards on nine receptions.
Seahawks 30, Titans 24
Sam Darnold threw a pair of touchdown passes to Jaxon Smith-Njigba as Seattle defeated Tennessee in Nashville.
Smith-Njigba, the NFL's leading receiver, had eight catches for 167 yards for the Seahawks (8-3). Darnold, who threw four interceptions in a 21-19 loss last week to the Los Angeles Rams, was 16 of 26 for 244 yards. Kenneth Walker III rushed for a game-high 71 yards on 11 carries.
Cam Ward, the No. 1 overall pick in this spring's draft, was 28 of 42 for 256 passing yards and a touchdown and rushed for a team-high 37 yards and a score for the Titans (1-10), who suffered their sixth straight defeat. Ward threw a 1-yard TD pass to Chimere Dike with 43 seconds remaining, but the ensuing onside kick didn't go 10 yards and Seattle ran out the clock.

The Paur Report
In his final game before his team's Week 12 bye, Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. recorded 79 rushing yards on a season-high 15 carries against the Miami Dolphins. The Commanders have operated with a committee backfield of Rodriguez Jr., Jacory Croskey-Merritt, and Jeremy McNichols for most of the 2025 season. However, Rodriguez Jr. has recorded 33 carries and two rushing touchdowns over the team's last three games and could be emerging as the team's lead back on early downs. The 25-year-old has just one reception across nine games played, so his fantasy upside is limited in PPR leagues. However, Rodriguez Jr. is still worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into Washington's Week 13 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

With star Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase sidelined by suspension in Week 12, Bengals wideout Andrei Iosivas recorded four catches for 61 yards on seven targets against the New England Patriots. While Chase will be back in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens, Iosivas could spend a second straight game in the WR2 role in Cincinnati. Bengals wideout Tee Higgins (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury late in the game on Sunday against New England. Cincinnati faces a short week before playing Baltimore on Thursday night, which may make it difficult for Higgins to play in Week 13. Iosivas has proven that he can step up and provide solid fantasy production when either of Cincinnati's star wide receivers is out. In PPR leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Iosivas should be a waiver-wire target.

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III had one of the best games of his young career in Week 12 against the Baltimore Ravens, hauling in six catches for 65 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in his team's 23-10 loss. Metchie III has now caught touchdown passes in back-to-back weeks and looks to be emerging as one of the top pass-catchers in New York, with star wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) currently sidelined by a knee injury. In another encouraging development, the Jets' passing game as a whole looked significantly more competent in Week 12 after making the switch at quarterback from Justin Fields to Tyrod Taylor. Taylor threw for 222 yards against Baltimore in Week 12, while Fields had failed to reach even 125 passing yards in four out of his last five starts. Given the clear opportunity for Metchie III in New York, he could be a player for deep-league fantasy managers to target on the waiver wire heading into a Week 13 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
From RotoBaller
Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) has been on Injured Reserve since Week 4 due to a knee injury. However, Benson was able to practice in a limited capacity heading into Week 12 and could be on track to make his return in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Benson is cleared to play against Tampa Bay, Arizona may not be able to afford to work him in slowly. Running back Emari Demercado (ankle) missed Week 12 due to an ankle injury, and fellow Cardinals back Bam Knight (leg) suffered a lower leg injury late in Week 12 that could put his status for Week 13 in jeopardy as well. Across four games before getting injured, Benson recorded 224 scrimmage yards on 42 touches. Even in shallow leagues or leagues without IR roster slots, Benson should be a waiver-wire target heading into Week 13.

Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt was an absolute workhorse in Week 12, recording 30 carries for 104 yards and a touchdown and three catches for 26 yards in his team's overtime win over the Indianapolis Colts. With Isiah Pacheco (knee) sidelined by a knee injury, the Chiefs have leaned on Hunt as their feature back in recent weeks. Pacheco has a chance to return for Kansas City's Week 13 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving Day. However, even when Pacheco returns, Hunt could maintain his status as the lead back in Kansas City. While Hunt hasn't been particularly efficient this season (3.9 yards per carry), he's been a reliable goal-line presence (seven rushing touchdowns). In any fantasy league where Hunt remains available on the waiver wire, he should be a priority target for fantasy managers heading into Week 13.
From RotoBaller
Houston Texans rookie out of Iowa State, Jayden Higgins, hauled in four of nine targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-19 win over the Buffalo Bills. The nine targets were a team high, and Higgins has now seen seven or more targets in four of his last five games. While the targets haven't resulted in massive fantasy performances, Higgins is establishing himself as the No. 2 wide receiver in this offense and providing solid target consistency. It will be interesting to see how things are when C.J. Stroud (concussion) returns, as most of Higgins' production of late has come from Davis Mills. Regardless, Higgins is no longer someone who should remain on the waivers in deeper leagues, given his consistent target share over the last month of the season.
From RotoBaller
Green Bay Packers third-year running back Emanuel Wilson had a career day on Sunday against the Vikings, rushing for a career-high 107 yards on 28 carries and punching in two touchdowns. Both of his rushing touchdowns were from one yard out. He chipped in another 18 yards on two receptions through the air as well, good for 25.5 fantasy points in half PPR formats. Wilson stepped in on Sunday for an injured Josh Jacobs (knee) and delivered an excellent performance for his fantasy managers who have been proactively stashing him or got him through waivers last week. Wilson will continue to have plug-and-play RB2 value as long as Jacobs remains sidelined; however, if Jacobs returns, Wilson will likely stay involved but will be hard to trust in starting lineups given the volume he would be expected to handle. At this time, Wilson should not be on waivers in most 10-team or larger formats.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Monday morning that Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) is in the concussion protocol. Higgins went up for a one-on-one jump ball late in the game on Sunday, and when he landed on the ground, his head whiplashed backwards and smacked the ground. He was immediately taken out of the game and ruled out for concussion-like symptoms. Before being taken off the field, Higgins disappointed fantasy managers and only caught five of his six targets for 31 yards. Considering Ja'Marr Chase (suspended) was not playing due to his one-game suspension, Higgins was first in line for targets, and it was a tough day for him going up against a stiff New England defense. Higgins will now need medical clearance on Tuesday or Wednesday to play in Thursday's contest against the Baltimore Ravens. The Bengals (3-8) will look to play spoiler against the AFC North leaders, the Ravens (6-5).
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught four of his six targets for 40 yards in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Fannin led the team in targets and receptions while finishing third in receiving yards as the Browns picked up their third win of the season in Las Vegas. The rookie hogged all of the receiving work in the tight-end room, as David Njoku was not targeted in the game. Fannin has caught 48 passes for 462 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games in what has been an impressive rookie season. He will remain on the TE2 radar in Week 13's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
From RotoBaller
Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren caught five of his eight targets for 45 yards in a 23-20 overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Warren led the Colts in targets while tying for the lead in receptions in the close loss. The rookie continues to impress for the Colts as he now has 55 catches for 662 yards and four all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games, earning him weekly consideration as a TE1 in fantasy. He will look to keep it going in Week 13's home matchup against the Houston Texans.
From RotoBaller
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor carried the ball 16 times for 58 yards and caught two of his three targets for eight yards in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime in Week 12. In a rare feat, the Chiefs held Taylor out of the end zone for just the third time all season. On the bright side, Taylor continues to dominate the backfield work in Indy as no other running back logged a carry in the close loss to the Chiefs. Taylor has rushed for 1,197 yards and has 17 all-purpose touchdowns in 11 games this season. In Week 13, he will take on a quality Houston Texans defense at home.
From RotoBaller
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. caught five of his eight targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Pittman scored the first touchdown of the game when he pulled in a six-yard pass from Daniel Jones with 8:06 left in the first quarter. It was mostly a quiet day after that for Pittman as the Colts only managed two field goals in the second half. Pittman has been a solid fantasy receiver this season as he has 59 catches for 607 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games this year. He will look to keep it going in Week 13 against the Houston Texans.
From RotoBaller
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones completed 19 of his 31 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns while adding 16 yards on three rushes in a 23-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. Jones completed touchdown passes to Michael Pittman Jr. and Drew Ogletree in the close loss while avoiding the turnovers that had plagued him in the prior two games. Jones has thrown for 2,840 yards, 17 touchdowns, and seven interceptions while adding five rushing touchdowns in 11 games this season. Next, he draws a difficult matchup at home against the Houston Texans in Week 13.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Isaiah Bond caught both of his targets for 58 yards in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Bond did most of his damage on a 52-yard reception in the first half, a play that helped set up Quinshon Judkins for a two-yard touchdown run. The rookie receiver had been quiet in recent weeks, as this was his first game with a catch since Week 6 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bond overall has 13 catches for 181 scoreless yards across 10 games this season. He remains an interesting bench stash in deep dynasty leagues, but will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy caught one of his three targets for 39 yards and lost a fumble in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Jeudy coughed up the ball at the end of a long catch-and-run when he had the ball poked out from behind in the second quarter. The veteran wideout's disappointing season continues as he has just 32 catches for 395 yards and one touchdown in 11 games. He has been held to 50 or fewer receiving yards in eight contests. Jeudy will not be a strong fantasy option heading into a Week 13 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
From RotoBaller
Cleveland Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 11 of his 20 passes for 209 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while losing one yard on his lone carry in a 24-10 win over the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Sanders looked much better than he did in Week 11, when he was forced into action in a loss to the Baltimore Ravens after Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion. Sanders' lone touchdown came on a short pass to Dylan Sampson, which the running back took 66 yards for the score. The Browns have yet to name their starting quarterback for Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers, but Sanders' solid performance will at least make it a hard decision for the Cleveland coaching staff this week, assuming Gabriel clears the league's concussion protocol. Sanders remains a low-end fantasy option moving forward.
From RotoBaller
Updating earlier reports, Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) suffered a sprained left shoulder in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Rams, per head coach Todd Bowles, who said that Mayfield would undergo an MRI to determine the extent of the injury on Monday, Nov. 24.
Fantasy Spin: Mayfield was seen on the sidelines with his arm in a sling, though that might have been precautionary. We'll know more after the MRI is done. If Mayfield misses time, Teddy Bridgewater would take over as the starter. For now, owners will just need to wait to see what the prognosis is for Mayfield before charting a path forward.

Arizona Cardinals S Budda Baker had nine tackles (four solo), an interception, and a half sack against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12.

Jacksonville Jaguars LB Foyesade Oluokun registered 10 tackles (five solo) versus the Arizona Cardinals in Week 12.
