Vikings | Max Brosmer to start Week 13's game Sat Nov 29, 11:13 AM
Confirming a previous report, Minnesota Vikings QB Max Brosmer will start Week 13's game against the Seattle Seahawks because QB J.J. McCarthy (concussion) is still in concussion protocol, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
| Footballguys view: McCarthy has to work through league protocol, and there's no telling how long that could take. Brosmer makes his first start on the road against a strong defense, so he's a low-end QB2 from a fantasy perspective. Adjust expectations for guys like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, as we expect the Vikings to be as run-heavy on offense as possible. |
Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota will start Week 13's game against the Denver Broncos, as a result of QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) having been ruled out due to a dislocated left elbow.
| Footballguys view: Mariota gets to start on Sunday night against one of the league's best defenses. The Broncos get sacks in bunches, and Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain returns from a pec injury (that's kept him out since Week 8) this week. Add in what could be inclement weather (rain), and you can see why we've got Mariota as a low-end QB2 in Week 13. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy and his offense will face weather conditions which are less than favorable in Week 13 on the road against the Cleveland Browns. Temperatures are forecast to be around 34 degrees with a 25 percent chance of precipitation, but the big concern is winds blowing 23-27 MPH, with occasional gusts off of Lake Erie topping gale force.

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, and is not on the injury report for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Purdy played arguably the worst game of his career last week, in just his fourth game of the year and his first time stringing together back-to-back starts. He delivered solid fantasy production in his first three games, but after last week's performance, he's better left on benches in Week 13. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: Daniels still hasn't been cleared for contact, a major hurdle before he can even be considered for activation. He's expressed interest in returning this season, but the Commanders may prioritize keeping their franchise quarterback safe and healthy in what's clearly a lost season. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB Baker Mayfield (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 28, but is listed as questionable for Week 13.
| Footballguys view: A DNP to LP to FP is the progression we want to see from a questionable player, and most signs indicate he's trending toward playing. Mayfield has proven tough as nails throughout his career. He left last week's game after attempting a deep heave before halftime, but has since logged a couple of practices and hopes to suit up. The efficiency that fueled his strong fantasy finish last season has unfortunately cratered. He's still worth a look in two-quarterback and superflex leagues, but in single-quarterback formats, he's just a back-end streamer for now. |

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (concussion) will not play in Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: Max Brosmer is expected to start in place of McCarthy. McCarthy missed his entire rookie season with a knee injury and missed five games earlier this year due to an ankle sprain. He'll miss a sixth game with this concussion, and possibly more. It's been a rough start for the young quarterback, and hopefully, some time off will give him a chance to reset after a handful of difficult starts. |

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) cleared protocol and will play in Week 13, according to head coach DeMeco Ryans.
| Footballguys view: After missing two games, Stroud is set to return in a divisional matchup against the Colts. The Texans' defense has been one of the league's best this year. Outside of deep leagues, Stroud projects as a low-scoring option, making him primarily a streaming candidate. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) will start for the Steelers in Week 13, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: After missing last week with a broken wrist, Rodgers logged back-to-back practices and is set to return. The injury is to his non-throwing hand, and he'll likely play with a brace. There may be some minor ball-security concerns, but not enough to meaningfully adjust his projections. He's a viable streamer in two-quarterback and superflex leagues. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (fibula) practiced in full on Friday, Nov. 28.
| Footballguys view: After a mid-week scare, Jones logged a full practice on Friday. He's lost some of the mobility he showed early in the season, and he looked a bit ginger in clips from Thursday's session. His white-hot passing efficiency has cooled off as well. In a tough matchup against the Texans, Jones profiles as a shaky low-end QB1 this week. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Purdy is not 100 percent, but he's set to play against the Browns in Week 13. That's a ferocious defense, and having a toe injury could limit Purdy's mobility. He's a low-end QB2, which means Purdy will be on a lot of benches on Sunday. |

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy (concussion) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 27.
| Footballguys view: Max Brosmer could be starting for the Vikings in Week 13. McCarthy has to work his way through the league's concussion protocol before he can be cleared to play. No matter who starts at quarterback for the Vikings, we expect them to lean on the run game as much as possible. McCarthy has been bad as the starter, so Brosmer can't be much worse. |

He was clutch on key downs and the Packers are now 8-3-1 and one game back from the Bears (8-3) in the NFC North. |
