  Jaguars | Travis Etienne top rusher in Week 13    Sun Nov 30, 05:49 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne rushed for 28 yards on 12 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He also caught one pass for 13 yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Etienne vastly outplayed Bhayshul Tuten last week, but both backs were held in check by the Titans titanic defensive tackle duo. Tuten got the touchdown, which made Etienne a fantasy bust one week after a very strong game. Etienne remains an RB2/Flex option against the Colts next week, but it could be a rough ride in the fantasy playoffs with Tuten also having a significant role.

  Texans | Jayden Higgins set career high in yards     Sun Nov 30, 05:44 PM

Houston Texans WR Jayden Higgins caught all five of his targets for 65 yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Footballguys view: Higgins shouldn't be on the waiver wire in any leagues. He is emerging as the #2 outside receiver with a good connection no matter who is playing quarterback. Consider him as a WR3/Flex option against Kansas City next week.

  Saints | Chris Olave finds end zone in Miami    Sun Nov 30, 05:42 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave ended up with four receptions for 47 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins.

Footballguys view: Olave didn't have a big game, but he was able to score and still put up good numbers for the WR3/Flex spot he occupies in fantasy lineups. Tyler Shough is likely to have a high passing volume next week against the Bucs to keep Olave an important part of a winning fantasy lineup. Olave has been one of the best mid round wide receiver picks in fantasy this season.

  Jaguars | Trevor Lawrence throws two touchdowns    Sun Nov 30, 05:40 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence went 16-for-27 for 229 yards and two touchdowns against the Tennessee Titans in Week 13. He also rushed for 25 yards on three carries during the game.

Footballguys view: Lawrence didn't make any big mistakes and even ran in a two point conversion. His fantasy value is trending up heading into a matchup with the Colts in Week 14. Consider him an upside QB2/Superflex play who has some streaming QB1 potential against the Jets in Week 15 and Colts in Week 17

  Saints | Devaughn Vele posts game-best 93 yards, TD    Sun Nov 30, 05:40 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Devaughn Vele registered game highs with eight receptions, 93 yards and eight targets in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, and he also had a touchdown reception.

Footballguys view: Vele's length and good hands made him a dependable possession target for Tyler Shough in a game where he showed why the Saints would give up a third round pick for him during the season. He's worth an add across leagues and should be a consideration as a WR3/Flex play against the Bucs in Week 14.

  Saints | Devin Neal totals 69 scrimmage yards    Sun Nov 30, 05:34 PM

New Orleans Saints RB Devin Neal rushed 14 times for 47 yards in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, while absorbing all three of his targets for 22 receiving yards.

Footballguys view: Neal had a slow start, but got going early in the second half and looks capable of being the starter against the Bucs next week if Alvin Kamara has to miss another week with his knee injury. Keep expectations low against the good Tampa run defense, but Neal will be a what-the-heck flex play if he's the starter.

  Texans | Woody Marks posts another solid outing    Sun Nov 30, 05:32 PM

Houston Texans RB Woody Marks ran 19 times for 64 yards and caught one pass for three yards in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Footballguys view: Marks left the game briefly with a foot injury, but didn't seem to be affected by it after he returned. He was still the clear leader in backfield touches, but Nick Chubb got the running back touchdown, and the return of CJ Stroud did not mean a return to the big receiving numbers we have seen from Marks with Stroud earlier this season. As long as Marks' week in practice is uneventful, he is still a good flex play against the Chiefs next week.

  Browns | David Njoku not a big factor    Sun Nov 30, 05:31 PM

  Texans | Nico Collins tops 100 yards and adds TD    Sun Nov 30, 05:24 PM

Houston Texans WR Nico Collins caught five of 10 targets for 98 yards and scored a rushing touchdown in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Footballguys view: Collins also scored on a seven yard run to put up the kind of fantasy WR1 stat line we expected, but have rarely gotten this season. Hopefully he is coming on at the right time for teams that got help from later picks to make up for Collins being one of many disappointing first round picks coming into Week 13.

  Browns | Gage Larvadain posts 23 receiving yards    Sun Nov 30, 05:24 PM

  Texans | C.J. Stroud returns in big win    Sun Nov 30, 05:20 PM

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 22 of 35 for 276 yards with no touchdowns and one interception in a Week 13 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Footballguys view: Stroud was better than his fantasy bottom line as the Texans scored both touchdowns on the ground. He was efficient and Nico Collins involved as a downfield receiver in addition to peppering Dalton Schultz with short targets and completing all five targets to second round pick Jayden Higgins, who is on the rise. Stroud will be a viable streamer and good QB2/Superflex option against the Chiefs next week as long as the weather cooperates in Kansas City.

  Saints | Two TD passes for Tyler Shough    Sun Nov 30, 05:19 PM

New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 26-of-38 passes for 239 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins, while rushing six times for 18 yards and a lost fumble.

Footballguys view: Shough was picked to end his one good first half drive, but kept fighting in the second half and had two chances to extend the game late in the fourth quarter after the Saints looked to be out of it at halftime. He is creating fantasy value in the Saints passing game and should be a viable QB2/Superflex play against the Bucs next week.

  Panthers | Nothing doing for Ja'Tavion Sanders    Sun Nov 30, 05:17 PM

  Browns | Harold Fannin catches TD pass    Sun Nov 30, 05:09 PM

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. caught three passes for 43 yards and one touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He was targeted five times during the game. He also lost a fumble during the game.

Footballguys view: Fannin was unsuccessful on a tush push call, but Shedeur Sanders found him open after stepping up in the pocket to account for the Browns only touchdown. Fannin is worth a waiver wire add if he is out there. He'll also be worth a spot in your lineup against the Titans next week.

  Colts | Tyler Warren scores fourth touchdown    Sun Nov 30, 05:04 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Tyler Warren caught three of four targets for 22 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans.

Footballguys view: Warren's most impactful play was an ill-fated tush push call on a fourth down in the red zone when Warren was in motion before taking the snap. He was quiet as expected against a good defense, but should bounce back next week against a Jaguars defense that has been very generous to opposing tight ends at times this season.

  Browns | Quinshon Judkins surpasses 100 total yards    Sun Nov 30, 05:03 PM

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins rushed for 91 yards on 23 carries against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He also caught three passes for 18 yards during the game.

Footballguys view: Judkins added a two point conversion on a direct snap to help put up a good RB2 game despite the lopsided loss. The Browns offense is limited, but their defense should keep games close enough to make Judkins an everyweek RB2 play. He has a high ceiling against the Titans next week, although they shut down the Jaguars running game in Week 13.

  Colts | Alec Pierce finds the end zone in Week 13    Sun Nov 30, 05:02 PM

Indianapolis WR Alec Pierce caught four of five targets for 78 yards and a 19-yard touchdown reception in a Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans.

Footballguys view: Pierce also drew a key pass interference penalty on a third and 19, and defended on a Hail Mary pass to end the first half. He was Mr. Everything for the Colts on an afternoon when little came easy against the elite Texans defense. He has earned the trust of Daniel Jones on 50-50 ball, and caught his touchdown over double coverage in this game. He's a boom/bust WR3/Flex against the Jaguars next week and in the fantasy playoffs.

  Panthers | Jalen Coker leads Panthers in receiving    Sun Nov 30, 04:59 PM

Carolina Panthers WR Jalen Coker posted four receptions for a team-best 74 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Footballguys view: Coker burned Emmanuel Forbes for a long touchdown on a fourth down, and he also caught the third down and five pass that clinched the massive win for the suddenly legitimate contender for the NFC South title. Coker should be added on the waiver wire even though he is going into his bye because he put up these numbers despite Bryce Young only throwing the ball 20 times in the win.

  Colts | Michael Pittman non-factor again    Sun Nov 30, 04:54 PM

Indianapolis WR Michael Pittman Jr. caught one of four targets for 13 yards in a Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans.

Footballguys view: Alec Pierce was the dominant target in the Colts passing game even though the Texans have one of the best pass rushes in the league. That left Pittman out in the cold, as his catches were close to the line of scrimmage and not impactful in NFL or fantasy terms. Pittman is still a solid WR3/Flex play going forward, but he might not end up being the most valuable Colts wide receiver in the fantasy playoffs.

  Chargers | Justin Herbert leaves with hand injury    Sun Nov 30, 04:54 PM

  Panthers | Tetairoa McMillan makes lone catch count    Sun Nov 30, 04:51 PM

Carolina Panthers WR Tetairoa McMillan posted a single 43-yard touchdown reception on two targets in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Footballguys view: McMillan wasn't scoring much earlier in the season, but he has four scores in the last three games. His one catch was huge in the flow of the game, and McMillan doing this when he is otherwise taken out of the game is reassuring at lineup setting time. He's an upside WR2 after his Week 14 bye.

  Browns | Shedeur Sanders throws for 149 yards    Sun Nov 30, 04:51 PM

Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders went 16-for-25 for 149 yards and one touchdown against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13. He also rushed for six yards on one carry during the game.

Footballguys view: Sanders actually matched Brock Purdy in quality of play on a windy afternoon, and still deserves to get the rest of the season to prove that he should be a primary player in the Browns quarterback competition next season. He'll be a QB2/Superflex option against the Titans next week as long as the minor injury that briefly sidelined him isn't a problem during the week of practice.

  Panthers | Rico Dowdle turns in mediocre stat line    Sun Nov 30, 04:46 PM

Carolina Panthers RB Rico Dowdle rushed 18 times for 58 yards in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, while adding a pair of receptions for 21 yards on two targets.

Footballguys view: Dowdle wasn't a bust and you had to be happy to see him get 20 touches in a game where the Panthers scored 31 points, but his value is down after Chuba Hubbard reasserted himself as an RB1A in what is now a fullblown RBBC. At least the Panthers are playing well enough for Dowdle to still be a RB2/Flex option in the fantasy playoffs, but his value in fantasy leagues is going down.

  Panthers | Chuba Hubbard totals 124 yards, TD    Sun Nov 30, 04:40 PM

Carolina Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard rushed 17 times for 83 yards in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, while adding two receptions for 41 yards and a touchdown on two targets.

Footballguys view: It appears Hubbard came back a little early from his calf injury and the player that we saw pale in comparison to Rico Dowdle is a memory. This is back to being a full blown RBBC, and Hubbard might be the better half of it after the bye. The Panthers are playing well enough for both players to matter during the fantasy playoffs. Hubbard is one of the biggest value gainers of Week 13.

  Panthers | Three more touchdowns for Bryce Young    Sun Nov 30, 04:37 PM

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young completed 15-of-20 passes for 206 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 13 against the Los Angeles Rams, while running five times for 23 yards.

Footballguys view: Young was hyperefficient, and threw two of his three touchdowns on fourth down and short deep ball play calls. Young also found Jalen Coker on a 3rd and five to clinch the big win. He has been as up and down as any quarterback in fantasy football, but Young will go into the bye with confidence and two good targets with Coker coming on and Tetairoa McMillan playing like a #1. He's a viable QB2/Superflex against New Orleans and Tampa Bay after his Week 14 bye.

  Colts | Jonathan Taylor tops 100 yards but held out of end zone     Sun Nov 30, 04:37 PM

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor carries 21 times for 85 yards and caught three of five targets for 36 more in a Week 13 loss to the Houston Texans.

Footballguys view: Taylor got a good helping of touches in a close game, but never broke free as a runner to influence the outcome of this game or fantasy matchups. The Colts offense doesn't have a high weekly ceiling with Daniel Jones banged up, so teams that Taylor helped get to the fantasy playoffs are going to need other players to step up if they are going to bring home a title.

  49ers | Ricky Pearsall quiet in Week 13    Sun Nov 30, 04:36 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall caught two passes for 14 yards against the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. He was targeted three times during the game.

Footballguys view: Pearsall is too far down the pecking order for targets to matter in fantasy leagues on a windy day against a good Browns defense. He's not worth carrying through the bye if there's someone compelling available on the waiver wire.
